What Makes Last Impact Special?

Kaze Emanuar pushed the N64 hardware further than anyone thought possible. Last Impact introduces gameplay mechanics that do not exist in the original Super Mario 64, including FLUDD (from Super Mario Sunshine), new cap abilities, custom enemies with unique AI, and even vehicles. Some levels feature mechanics so innovative that they rival what was achieved in Nintendo's official 3D Mario sequels. The level design is universally praised for its creativity and variety. From lush forest environments to industrial factories, underwater kingdoms to sky-high cloud areas, each of the game's worlds feels unique and is packed with stars that require different approaches and skills to collect.
