Before Ross' level, the highest resolution of the game commercially released was the Virtual Console port, which upped the ante to 480p.
The closest contender is Mario Kart 64, which sold around 9 million. Super Mario 64 is, unsurprisingly, the best-selling game on the Nintendo 64 console, with more than 11 million copies sold. Go inside the blog to learn more about the classic platformer and the Unity tools used to accomplish this incredible feat. It has full gamepad support, so you can use USB-connected console controllers if the thought of playing Mario with a keyboard is unbearable. Ross said the level is "free to use as-is." No word yet if Nintendo will pull the plug, so grab the game while you can. Click here to play Super Mario 64 in high definition! Click below for Ross' blog, where you can either download the level or run it in your browser. The game looks gorgeous and has been re-created exactly as you remember it, only without the Wing Cap and red coin.
The level comes from Canadian computer science student Erik Roystan Ross, who lovingly recreated the classic stage Bob-Omb Battlefield in development tool Unity. The good news? We're bringing you one gorgeous level from arguably the first great 3-D platformer, Super Mario 64, free to play in your browser! The bad news first: We're not bringing you a full game. If you see games you think we should be featuring on the blog, email us at news and bad news this week. Each week, we'll bring you a title (or two or three) you can legally play at home without plopping down a single dollar. And nothing's cheaper than cost-free gaming. We here at the Tech Deck are just like you: poor gamers looking for cheap entertainment. ORIGINAL POST: Are you a gamer? Do you like free things? Of course you do! "In light of Nintendo recently making a deal to release some of their IPs on mobile platforms, it’s probably not in their best interests to have a mobile-portable version of Mario 64 sitting around," Ross wrote. UPDATE: Nintendo has sent Erik Ross a copyright infringement notice, and the high-definition level of Super Mario 64 is no longer playable at Ross' website.
