INFO


	This is a short hack of 7 stars where you will find a harder version of one of the main courses of Super Mario 64 Peachīs Memory 
	(hack made by Daniel EDC). Then this game just contains 7 stars.

	The 3D was given by Daniel EDC and I got any permission from him to modify it with its respective explanation I wanted to do it harder 
	because when I was playing his game, I found that course offers too much to be harder.
	
	Why this course is part of Stars of the Beast 2.5 and not a level completly made by me? It was planned just to be a mini hack but 
	because of the plot (it is part of the timeline before SotB3), I asked to Daniel if I could name the game as Stars of the Beast 2.5 
	and he agreed.

	How hard it is? Well, is a kaizo hack but is not as hard as the 2nd game of the saga.

	I canīt offer you the 3D model due to even though I made modifications to it, the model is not of my own so if for fun you want to 
	make an even harder or meme version of this, you should ask to him.

	BTW, this game was made for fun, not for the will of making you feel frustrated or angry :P

	
	I hope you enjoy it!

HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME

A. PATCH A ROM!!

For legal terms, I canīt give you directly the game as a ROM, so youīll need to patch a ROM (this wonīt affect the ROM).

The patch which comes in the file of this game practically contains my fangame, to play it youīll need 2 original SM64 ROMS with .z64 
format. Go to the next page to download one file, and create a copy of that .z64 file and save it with a different name:

https://sites.google.com/site/supermario64download/Home/download-super-mario-64

I recommend to download the file: Super_Mario_64__U_____.z64

Use FLIPS to patch it (you can find it here: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11474). To patch the ROM, open FLIPS and 
press "Apply patch", you select the patch named "Stars of the Beast 2.5-Beasts Memory", after this you select your original SM64 ROM (.z64), 
and later youīll select the copy youīve created of that SM64 ROM (.z64). And thatīs all!!! Your copy will contain Super Mario 64: Stars 
of the Beast 2.5 Beastīs Memory (I suggest you name your patched ROM "Stars of the Beast 2.5 Beastīs Memory" to recognize it every time you 
play it).


B. TO PLAY IT:

I use the Project 64 1.6 EMULATOR because is so stable, so I highly recommend this Emulator to enjoy this game as maximum as possible.

To PLAY this game, you need to change your Emulator "Default Memory Size" to 8MB. You need to Click on Options > Settings > Options and 
uncheck "Hide Advanced Settings". Click OK and now click on Options > Settings > Advanced Settings > Default Memory Size > 8MB.

Starting the ROM will appear two errors, only press enter, thereīs no problem with them, they are practically "NORMAL". The ROM will run 
perfectly.

And Letīs have so much fun!!!!.
