The Junuary Project is an extensive Super Mario 64 ROM hack for the Nintendo 64, developed by Alieneer in 2023. The project painstakingly reconstructs pre-release, prototype, and beta assets from January 1996, bringing long-forgotten test stages and experimental features back to life. It offers an authentic “what-if” experience of the game’s development era, restoring unused moves like the Squat Kick, SSK Sideflip, and dashing, alongside built-in debug tools.
How to Play
Explore the restored beta levels and experiment with Mario’s forgotten move set. Since this is an N64 title playing in the browser, the controls map standard keys to the Nintendo 64 controller. Use the Arrow Keys for the analog stick, Z and X for the A and B buttons, Shift for the Z-Trigger, and Enter for Start.
Tips
- Take advantage of the restored debug tools, such as the level select menu and free-move mode, to easily explore the prototype stages without restrictions.
- Experiment with the beta movesโlike the Squat Kick and Dashingโas they can completely change how you approach platforming compared to the final release of Super Mario 64.
