Super Mario 64 Sonic Edition
About the Game
Super Mario 64 Sonic Edition is a fan-made ROM hack of the Nintendo 64 classic Super Mario 64. Instead of controlling Mario, you play as Sonic the Hedgehog throughout the adventure. The hack replaces Mario's character model with Sonic while keeping most of the original levels, missions, and objectives from Super Mario 64.
This project became popular among fans who wanted to see Sega's famous blue hedgehog explore one of Nintendo's most iconic 3D platform games.
