Watch Mario explore a blocky Minecraft world on original N64 hardware [1]

['Grant St. Clair']

Date: 2025-05-21  

Minecraft might soon overtake DOOM for its sheer number of nonsensical ports onto every device under the sun. It's already been on the last three Nintendo consoles, including a chugging, lackluster 3DS version for some reason only Satoru Iwata knows, but apparently that isn't enough for the gaming community.

Super Mario 64 hacker Arthurtilly has reverse-engineered Minecraft's blocks into that game, making its voxel system run flawlessly on real Nintendo 64 hardware.

It's absolutely surreal to see Mario running around in Steve's world – even if it does seem a little barren given the N64's power (or lack thereof). At least that 3DS version isn't the most barebones one anymore!
