Kondo would quickly go on to create iconic work, and was responsible for sound programming, music, and sound effects in Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda for the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) with memorable tunes and delightful audio cues that many people around the world now instantly recognize.
Kondo has since worked on many other memorable titles including the music for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64), Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo Gamecube), New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS), Super Mario Galaxy (Wii), The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii), Super Mario 3D World (Wii U), and Super Mario Bros. Wonder (Nintendo Switch).

Newfound Spaceworld 95 footage early N64 titles, including Super Mario 64's cut multiplayer
L IS REAL
While it took awhile, Nintendo eventually found their way to multiplayer in 3D Mario games with Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U. It’s clear Nintendo wanted to get things just right for a multiplayer setting in a 3D Mario game, but it’s not like they weren’t trying to figure things out years prior to that launch.
As you may know, Nintendo originally wanted to include multiplayer in Super Mario 64. For a number of reasons that plan didn’t pan out, so Nintendo put the idea on the back-burner for well over two decades. Over the years, dataminers have dug through Super Mario 64’s source code to find any bit they could on that cut multiplayer mode, but today brings us a quick glimpse of the mode in action.
A new video has surfaced that showcases a litany of N64 games from back in the day. This footage comes from Spaceworld 95, an event Nintendo held to showcase not just Super Nintendo and Game Boy titles in the works, but games for the upcoming Nintendo 64. The video runs through a handful of in-development N64 titles, including none other than the star of the launch lineup, Super Mario 64.
In quick segments in the clip, we get to see a brief glimpse of Super Mario 64’s multiplayer in action. In one scene in particular, you can even see Luigi as the main playable character as someone else runs around in the background. It’s very clear Nintendo had multiplayer up-and-running and in considerable fashion, but things just didn’t pan out in the end.
You can see all the gaming goodness from Spaceworld 95 in the video above, but if you’d just like to see the Super Mario 64 multiplayer portions, you can watch the clip below.

Mario Party 3 comes to Switch Online Expansion Pack on Oct. 27th, 2023
Everyone loves a party!
According to legend, when friends and family gathered around a Nintendo 64 to compete in Mario Party 3, fun times were bound to follow! Well, it’s time to shine a beacon in the starry sky once more, send a message to your pals and ring up your parents because Mario Party 3 is bringing its collection of festivities to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online library! You’ll be able to enjoy this one starting Oct. 27th, 2023.
Hot off his appearance in Mario Tennis™ for the Nintendo 64 system (also playable with an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership), Waluigi joins the Mario Party 3 cast of characters with his unruly spirit and a chaotic board of his own – Waluigi’s Island – filled with tricky traps and crafty contraptions. The delightful Daisy also makes her first Mario Party series appearance as a playable character, bringing her incomparable charm to the competition.
And of course, what’s a Mario Party game without multiplayer mini-games?** This installment’s positively overflowing with more than 70 effervescent entertainments to enjoy. Jump over clock hands in Tick Tock Hop, bring your appetite and race to see who can Eatsa Pizza first, swing from vine to vine in Vine With Me, run circles in Eye Sore from Super Mario 64™, laugh yourself silly as you mix and match the Toad’s face in Picture Imperfect or try to emerge the victor atop the slick Snowball Summit.
Sporting the first Story mode in the Mario Party franchise – complete with a quest to become the top Superstar in the universe! – along with six game boards bursting with variety, the introduction of Duel mode, a host of newly added items and the addition of the bow-tie sporting Game Guy, Mario Party 3 has savoir faire and good times to spare.
New Super Mario 64 speedrunning technique leads to world-record time
Sub-1:36 is insane!
It seems like speedrunners will be pushing Super Mario 64 to its limits from now until the end of time. There are a ton of speedrunners out there who are constantly looking to improve times and runs, and a major achievement has resulted in a brand-new world record.
The new world-record for a 120-star run in Super Mario 64 now sits at 1:36:48.5, achieved by Karinpune. This is the first sub-1:37 time ever, and it’s all thanks to a ‘carpetless’ trick that speedrunners have been trying to crack for decades now.
All the way back in 2009, speedrunners knew that a carpetless run in Super Mario 64 was technically possible, but no one could pull it off reliably. The trick involved skipping the carpet ride in Rainbow Ride’s ‘Big House in the Sky’ challenge, but it proved too challenging to pull off, and a miss on this section would instantly spell doom for a speedrun attempt.
In the new run by Karinpune, a fresh route has been discovered that skips the carpet ride through a series of well-placed jumps. The triple jumps and wall kicks required to achieve this skip are incredibly taxing, but more importantly, they are a reliable method for those who practice. Now that the footage is out there and the method can be analyzed, expect 120-star speedruns to heat up once again!

Super Mario 64 gets fan-made elephant mod
Look at the junk in that trunk!
Super Mario Bros. Wonder wowed Nintendo fans with its debut trailer, but the most talked-about moment was no doubt the reveal of Elephant Mario. That power-up has led to all sorts of fan-art and memes in recent weeks, along with amazing tributes like the recent NES-style take on Elephant Mario. Not surprisingly, the creativity doesn’t end there either.
Modder Koop the Koopa was inspired by Elephant Mario to the point that he wanted to bring the character to some classic Mario adventures. That led to the latest mod for Super Mario 64 that adds Elephant Mario to the mix. You can get a look at the Super Mario 64 version of Elephant Mario above, and in our opinion, it looks good enough to be an official Nintendo creation!
If you’d like to learn more about the Elephant Mario mod for Super Mario 64, you can check out the YouTube video’s description for all sorts of details.
Super Smash Character Reviews: Pikachu
Is Pikachu the very best?
Hello and welcome back to GoNintendo’s Smash Character Review series, where we look at Smash Ultimate’s massive roster and see how will the characters have held up. Today, in honor of the 25th anniversary of Pokémon Yellow, we’ll be taking a look at the Pokémon fittingly numbered 25 in the Poékdex – Pikachu!
What is there to say about Pikachu that hasn’t already been said? Despite not having a major role in the original release of Red and Blue thanks to some genius marketing tactics and a universally appealing design, Pikachu was pushed to be the mascot of the entire series. You would be hard-pressed to find a Pokémon product with no relation to Pikachu whatsoever so it makes sense that he would be the first Pocket Monster considered to join the world of Smash.
How does the electric mouse Pokémon fair today however? Well, that’s the question we intend to answer. As always, we suggest checking out our first article in this series for a breakdown of how the grading system works. With all that out of the way let’s get started!
Each issue of Famitsu provides us with the results of their “Most Wanted” feature, which is a reader poll to see what games people are chomping at the bit to play.
