It was the replacement for the Super NES and offered as important graphical and processing improvement regarding 16-bit consoles.Īnd, of course, the Japanese company's icon wasn't going to be left out and come along in the form of the above-mentioned Super Mario 64 that has eventually become a classic and has been copied time after time on PC but now with an online version to be able to play in multiplayer mode. It wasn't published for the classic NES but obviously for the Nintendo 64 video console that back then was competing against the PlayStation 1 and the SEGA Saturn. Additionally, Digital Foundry shared a video showing 34 minutes of gameplay footage from it.It's been a long time since Super Mario 64 was released. In order to showcase the game’s Ray/Path tracing effects, DarioSamo also released the following trailer. Furthermore, it introduces real-time raytraced shadows, reflections, refractions and global illumination. Moreover, it features Classic Phong shading and support for Normal Maps. It also brings custom level lighting for all stages, as well as dynamic sphere lights for objects and particles. Going into more technical details, this mod packs a fully path-traced renderer.

Thus, you’ll likely encounter plenty of visual and performance problems. Do note, though, that this mod is in a very early state. As the name implies, this version adds full path tracing support to the open-source Super Mario 64 port for PC.Īccording to DarioSamo, all GPUs that support Ray Tracing can run this special version of Super Mario 64 PC.

And today, DarioSamo released a public technical version of Super Mario 64 Ray Tracing. In May 2020, we informed you about an unofficial native DX12 version of Super Mario 64 for the PC.
