Players have been wearing Mario's poorer strings in the shower halls since days Super Super 64, and everyone can remember the cries of Mario's pain as he exited the burning lakes. Super Super 64The smoke effect, which comes from the back of an integrated pipe pump, remains to be seen as smoke – even for Nintendo 64.
A new ROM Hack Super Super 64. it revealed a justification for what we now know was a visible distraction. And the moderators have moved it into one line of code.
According to patch & # 39; s description on Romhacking.net, the hack doesn't produce any new art. The best-looking particle was inside the game all the time, hidden under the wrong line of code. According to hacker zoinknoise, they just changed "G_IM_FMT_RGBA" to "G_IM_FMT_IA" in line 47 of the "/actors/burn_smoke/model.inc.c" file.
According to zoinknoise:
It is now known that this move is displayed in the wrong format by the game, resulting in pixels of black garbage. Since the video game smoke of the era was always reflected in pixels of black garbage, the error hasn't been seen for over twenty years. This pond corrects the error by displaying the texture properly as a suitable clear smoke. It does not include any new art; texture was always within the ROM.
Haha, what the heck. As a result of the Super Mario 64 code disassembly it was discovered that the smoke Mari exits when touched by fire has been restored for 20 years. Left: What it looks like in the last game. Right: after one-line code correction. https://t.co/JenizzKeFh

The above tiles show two different effects of smoke. The left picture shows how most players remember to look for smoke; black dots pointing to Mario's arms. The picture on the right is obviously a targeted, cloudy cloud of completely formed smoke.
Not sure if Nintendo will officially fix this bug Super Super 64 comes to Nintendo Switch in a 35-bit rumor of being stabbed.
