Hello, everyone. Today I present to you my SM64 hack, Super Mario: Red Star Expedition. This is a shorter version of Super Mario: Power Star Expedition, as it contains 50 stars instead of 80. I realized that 80 stars would probably be too tough for me, so I made the hack more reasonable. This isn't exactly a new hack, however. It's kind of like SMPSE as it contains some of the levels from that hack. Anyway, more information can be found below, and if you want, you can post some feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.

Features
- Five brand new main courses and nine brand new secret courses (50 stars in total);
- three new hub worlds;
- some custom objects; and
- new music.

None of the following screenshots are final.

Thank you, kind people. So, anyway, I made some more progress in course 10. Here are some screenshots:



I know the course isn't too different, but I kind of just wanted to post some screenshots, so there they are. Also, this level already has over 9,000 triangles in it somehow, and I'm not even halfway done. That kind of worries me, as I believe SM64 can only support up to 20,000 triangles. But, I can probably delete quite a few polygons for the collision map, so hopefully there won't be an issue.

EDIT: There are a few random things off to the side in this model, and some of them will not be used, so that gives me even more triangles to work with. I'm not really sure why I wanted to write this, but whatever.

Thank you for the feedback, guys. And yes, this is a Super Mario 64 (for the N64) hack. If this were a Super Mario 64 DS hack, I would have wrote "SM64DS ROM Hack" in the title. Also, even though you have established that this is an SM64 hack, I still do appreciate the compliment about this being "better than ASMB3D". However, my goal is not to be "better than" any hack; I merely want to make the highest quality hack I can. I am not competing with anyone.

Oh, and the progress pretty much is up to date, but I suppose it could be updated a bit more; I'll do that now.

Below are some screenshots of the space level (this course is in its early stages):

I was debating whether or not I should show screenshots of the final Bowser level, and, well, I decided that I should show them. Here they are:
I think I UV mapped everything in this level so far, so that's cool, I guess.


Oh, and here is a screenshot of the Metal Cap stage (only a bit of UV mapping done here):
Once again, feedback, as always, is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the ground texture in the Metal Cap level will be scaled up quite a bit, because it obviously repeats way too many times.

Do you guys like these Toad Houses? I think they look kind of bad but not too bad at the same time, so please tell me what you guys think.

I was initially going to show off this level in the form of a video when I completely finish it, but since I had to switch to SM64 ROM Manager for the model to work in-game, I have some things to get used to. As such, fully completing this model may take a little bit longer than I thought, and I just want to show more progress already. Here are some screenshots of course 2, currently called Goomba Grasslands.



The visual map and collision map are completely done, except for a few bugs that came up. After I fix said bugs, I can start placing objects, and then I can make a video. Also, if you want, leave some feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.
