A significant ROM hack called SM64: The Mushroom Cup was created by usernamesarentimportant, also known as UsernamesAreSpiders. Over 15 custom levels and 130 stars are included in this hack. In order to escape before the mushroom invades him, Mario must unravel the mystery of the strange Solitude Fortress.
More emphasis is placed on platforming and exploration in a semi-open world than in the author’s earlier works, which results in slightly different gameplay. This time, the narrative is broken up by disjointed lines with the word “REDACTED” over the dialogue, as if the author or reader is also suffering from the mushroom effect along with the environment and inhabitants of the fortress.
The title of the game makes reference to the first cup in every Mario Kart game, but it is impossible for it to have any other relevance.
