GoldenEye 007 is considered to this day as one of the greatest shooters of all time, meanwhile Super Mario 64 is considered to be one of the greatest platformers of all time. One modder decided to find out what would happen if they put the two together, and the resulting project featuring Mario with guns is exactly what it sounds like.
Originally released in 1997, GoldenEye 007 is a game that changed the FPS genre. Many gamers regarding it as one of the best shooters of all time, and community support for the game remains alive and well as can be seen with this unlikely mashup.
GoldenEye 007 modder and YouTuber Graslu00 uploaded an original mission that takes place in Peach’s Castle from Super Mario 64. The over nine-minute long clip begins with Mario in the same spot he’d be in his own respective game, except this time he’s packing a silenced PP7. The impressive-looking video sees the Nintendo mascot advance into the castle, where he’s met by a gang of well-armed Koopa Troopas.
While none of the actual Super Mario 64 levels are accessible, the mission progresses much in the same way as the original game. Mario’s ultimate objective is still to defeat Bowser, facing him shortly after each Big Star Door. After leaving a trail of bodies and tracking down the legendary Golden Gun, Mario one-shots the Koopa King, completing the mission.
The humorous mod looks technically impressive, appearing to run at a smooth 60 FPS. The custom level blends together elements from both classic N64 titles into something all its own. However, it’s far from the first time Peach’s Castle has shown up in games it has no business being in. This particular iteration of the castle recently made its way into Warframe thanks to a player’s use of the Clan Dojo feature.
Beyond splicing elements of GoldenEye 007 with other games, there have been numerous attempts to see the title revamped for the current era. A prominent GoldenEye fan remake that was being made using Unreal Engine 4 was recently shut down, although gamers can still find clips of it online.
GoldenEye 007 retains a fiercely loyal fanbase, so much so that its a common sentiment to think every 007 game since has not measured up. After a nearly decade-long drought, it was recently announced that IO Interactive is hiring for a 007 video game project. Being the developers of the popular Hitman franchise and working directly with the franchise’s movie studio MGM, many James Bond fans believe the time for a true successor is coming.
GoldenEye 007 is available on Nintendo 64.
