Devin's (Super Mario 64) Movement Rewrite v0.1.0

This rewrite increases the responsiveness and pace-of-play of Mario's moves, with niche additions that allow for high skill expression. In addition, Mario's power-ups have new properties to allow for further design space. Bowser's fights are also significantly harder, to encourage use of the new controls. In sum, the game will feel vastly better to play, and there are new options for players to explore at their leisure.

An extensive suite of options is available in-game, allowing you to configure the game as you please. This also includes new accessibility and control options. A statistics page also keeps detailed information on most in-game actions, and there is a records page for in-game time.

The design was authored wholly by Devin. New code implementations, and a small amount of assets, were authored by GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-5.6 Sol. You may view the source code for detailed authorship information, including credits for external assets.
