Shotgun Mario 64
马里奥：Shotgun 64
Shotgun Mario 64 is a 2021 community-created modification for the Nintendo 64 that reimagines the classic platformer by introducing a shotgun-based gameplay mechanic. Developed as a ROM hack, the game retains Super Mario 64's core exploration and platforming framework while replacing Mario's traditional abilities with shotgun combat. Players navigate varied levels using the shotgun for both offensive and puzzle-solving purposes, requiring strategic use of ammunition and environmental interaction. The control scheme maintains the N64's signature analog stick movement alongside weapon mechanics. The game features multiple themed levels with distinct challenges, each designed around the shotgun mechanic's unique properties. This single-player experience offers a substantial departure from the original's approach, focusing on action-oriented gameplay while preserving the 3D exploration elements that defined Super Mario 64.
