Kaze has added 130 new collectible stars, 12 power-ups, areas, enemies, and bosses to the original Mario 64. This can be Super Mario Bros. greatest hits, as Mario uses abilities and power-ups from a range of other games in the series as seen in the trailer. Kaze has used cool characters, mechanics and ideas from all kinds of different Mario games, and has wrapped them into one solid world. Despite of all these different elements, one can also clearly notice in the trailer that everything in this mod is thoughtfully put together and not just randomly.
Going by the YouTube uploads; one can imagine that Kaze has been working on Last Impact for at least for a year. On the other hand, Nintendo does a great job of releasing new high-quality Super Mario games. As a result, there hasn’t exactly been uproar by fans for the series to return to its roots. This project was created more as an act of love rather than to fulfil a need that the original developer has failed to deliver.
