Previously you had three balloons that you had to pop on each player and be the last player standing to win. This hack replaces the balloons with hit points (HP) and a countdown timer. When the battle starts, the first person hit becomes the “hot potato” and they start smoking and the timer starts counting down to zero. If another player gets hit before the countdown timer reaches zero, that player becomes the “hot potato” instead and will start smoking. This means if you are the hot potato, you need to hit someone else before the countdown timer reaches zero, leading to some fun frantic chases. Whoever is the hot potato when the counter reaches zero will briefly flash and lose 1 HP. When a player's HP reaches zero, they die. The timer then resets and waits for the next player to be hit and the whole process starts all over again. Whoever is the last player standing wins.

Mario Kart 64 Death Race rom hack Release! triclon 2024-01-23 | The Mario Kart 64 Death Race is a rom hack (actually a very long Gameshark code) for Mario Kart 64 I made that turns the game from a race into a battle to see who is the last one standing. It was inspired by the Death Race in F-Zero X. Each player gets 3 hit points (HP). Spin outs, hits, getting squished, or having Lakitu picking you up causes 1 HP worth of damage. If you have 1 HP left, you turn dark to indicate one more hit will kill you so be careful. Lose all your HP, you are dead, and the course restarts in GP mode. The race will not end until one player is left standing. Kill all the players and you win, and you go to the next course in GP mode. Death Race is playable in both GP and VS modes. Console compatible. Expansion pak required. I have been working on this on and off for almost 5 years so I hope you all enjoy!Update Mar 31, 2024!Version 2 is out! This version fixes the many crashes and bugs that existed in version 1. I have also added patches that include my "CPUs use human items" hack in Death Race for an added challenge. Get Version 2 from the download link below.Download Link for rom patches and Gameshark code:drive.google.com/file/d/1mj2OG9gvshSY7ovIVerjxZFE6ugP_ITP/view?usp=share_linkThe Google Sheet where the Death Race Gameshark code was developed can be found here if you want to see how it all works and learn how to modify it yourself:docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cuM45MkzCfLQxO2rnUA52XEoV3L_LJlOTRigrV_HfYM/edit?usp=sharingCheck out my website: triclon.neocities.orgI usually hang out in the Overkart 64 discord: discord.gg/WgvAdFZ8N7You can checkout the #battlekart64 channel there for the latest info on Battle Kart 64 and download the latest beta versions.Check out the Overkart 64 channel for more Mario Kart 64 hacking and custom courses: youtube.com/c/OverKart64%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B

Battle Kart 64 new game mode in development: Shell Shooter triclon 2023-04-19 | This is a demonstration of a new game mode I am working on for Battle Kart 64 called Shell Shooter. The idea is to turn Mario Kart 64 battle mode into a first person shooter where green shells act more like bullets where they move fast, always fire forward without starting behind the player, and do not bounce off of walls. The camera has also been modified to be first person. This is just a demonstration of the work done so far on this game mode. The final product will probably include ammunition and a health bar.You can find the latest version of Battle Kart 64 here: romhacking.net/hacks/5618Check out my website: triclon.neocities.orgI usually hang out in the Overkart 64 discord: discord.gg/WgvAdFZ8N7You can checkout the #battlekart64 channel there for the latest info on Battle Kart 64 and download the latest beta versions.Check out the Overkart 64 channel for more Mario Kart 64 hacking and custom courses: youtube.com/c/OverKart64%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B
Battle Kart 64 Bot path finding test with ramps! triclon 2022-08-18 | This is a video showing a test of the Battle Kart 64 bots in Block Fort with the latest path finding code. I am Toad and the Marios are the bots. Gone was the mess that was the wall avoidance code. Now the bots have a set of paths they can follow. They will drive towards the player and also follow them up the ramps to higher levels. There is still a whole lot more work to do but it is nice to see things finally progressing after spending a lot of time just debugging this and trying to get it to work. Again, many thanks to DeadHamster for providing the paths that the bots follow and ideas on how the path finding should work.You can find the latest version of Battle Kart 64 here: romhacking.net/hacks/5618Check out my website: triclon.neocities.orgI usually hang out in the Overkart 64 discord: discord.gg/WgvAdFZ8N7You can checkout the #battlekart64 channel there for the latest info on Battle Kart 64 and download the latest beta versions.Check out the Overkart 64 channel for more Mario Kart 64 hacking and custom courses: youtube.com/c/OverKart64
Battle Kart 64 testing bots following a path up a ramp in Block Fort triclon 2022-03-10 | This is a video showing a test of the Battle Kart 64 bots in Block Fort driving towards a point at the bottom of the ramp while avoiding walls, then once they reach that point, following a path up the ramp, from which they then drive around a bit up on the 2nd story of the blue fort while avoiding the cliff before falling off and going up the ramp again. This is a test for code that will eventually become much smarter bots. Many thanks to DeadHamster for providing the paths that the bots will follow.
Battle Kart 64 bots play skyscraper with cliff avoidance test triclon 2022-02-15 | Testing out cliff avoidance for the bots in Battle Kart 64. Now they will try their best to avoid driving off the course mindlessly like they did before. This is a test in the battle course Skyscraper. They still occasionally fall but it is much much better than anything I have had before. The bots in the next version of Battle Kart 64 will be a lot smarter.Again, thanks to DeadHamster for helping out with this.
Test Battle Kart 64 CPU bots avoiding walls. triclon 2022-02-15 | This is a test of the Battle Kart 64 CPU bots with some new wall avoidance code that actually works. Now the bots will be less dumb and won't run headfirst into walls anymore. Thanks to DeadHamster for helping me figure this out.
Zombombs game mode demo for Battle Kart 64 triclon 2022-01-08 | This is a demonstration of a new game mode for my Mario Kart 64 rom hack Battle Kart 64 called Zombombs. It is Zombies or Infection but with Bob-ombs. At the start of the match, a random player is turned into a Bob-omb and every person they hit turns into a Bob-omb as well. The non bomb players must try to survive until the timer reaches zero to win. If every player is turned into a bomb before that, the bombs win. This is still a work in progress, as I need to program in the win conditions, but as you can see, the gameplay is pretty much finished.You can find the latest version of Battle Kart 64 here: romhacking.net/hacks/5618Check out my website: triclon.neocities.orgI usually hang out in the Overkart 64 discord: discord.gg/WgvAdFZ8N7You can checkout the #battlekart64 channel there for the latest info on Battle Kart 64 and download the latest beta versions.Check out the Overkart 64 channel for more Mario Kart 64 hacking and custom courses: youtube.com/c/OverKart64
First test importing Nintendo 64 Gameshark codes from my computer to an actual Gameshark triclon 2021-12-10 | Witness the historic moment! One little known feature The Nintendo 64 Gameshark is the ability to save and load Gameshark codes using the Controller Pak (memory card). I exported some codes to a Controller Pak then copied the Pak to my Everdrive. I then popped in the SD card from the Everdrive into my computer and opened the Pak's save file in a hex editor to see how the Gameshark stored the codes on the Controller Pak. Turns out the format was pretty simple. I then set out to see if I could reverse the entire process and import a Gameshark code from my computer to the Gameshark itself. I edited the Controller Pak save with a single Super Mario 64 Gameshark code to make Mario look metallic. In this video you will see me save the edited file back to the Everdrive's SD card, use the Everdrive to copy the modified file to the Controller Pak, copy the code from the Controller Pak to the Gameshark, and finally see the imported Gameshark code work (after a few false starts). Someday I might create a utility that lets you use your computer, an Everdrive, and a Controller Pak to import codes into the Gameshark. No longer will you have to slowly type in long codes.

Battle Kart 64 Capture the Flag - Bots are learning to play triclon 2021-05-09 | This is a demo showing work in progress on getting the battle mode CPU bots in Battle Kart 64 to actually play Capture the Flag. Here you can also see that bases and flags are now visible on the minimap! I am Mario and Luigi, Peach, and Toad are all bots. When someone (in this case me) picks up the flag, the bots will all attack whoever is holding the flag. If a bot picks up the flag, they will try to bring it to their base to score. Here you will see me pick up the flag, and then peach steal it from me and bring it to her base to score. There is still more work to do to get the bots to fully play the Capture the Flag game mode, but so far things look promising. CTF mode will be available in the next release of Battle Kart 64, so stay tuned!Thanks to DeadHamster for his work on custom objects, providing the flag and base models, and a very useful c library for hacking MK64.

Battle Kart 64 Capture the Flag - Custom base and flag location demo triclon 2021-04-13 | This is a demo of selecting your own base and flag positions for Capture The Flag (CTF) mode in Battle Kart 64. In CTF mode you can capture flags and bring them back to your base. The mode has three preset base positions for every player, and the 4th option shown in this demo is for choosing your own base location. How fun can that be playing against all your friends? You select #4, drive to where you want your base be, and press start to lock in the location. Once everyone is "ready" the actual game starts. In this demo, all the other players are bots so they are already ready, so I just drive to a new position to select where I want my base to be.

This is my latest test to add CPU players to battle mode Mario Kart 64. Luigi, Peach, and Toad are all cpu bots and I can't shake them. I calculate the angle between me and the bots, and check the direction the bots are facing and tell them to turn until the the angle they are facing matches the angle between them and me. To make the bots move, my code hijacks the game's controller input so that the bot players are given the commands to always press A and the c-stick tilts the direction I want them to turn. Yes, this will work on a real console.Battle Kart 64 is a hack of Mario Kart 64 that greatly expands the functionality of Battle Mode.

Battle Kart Bot Test 2 triclon 2020-08-22 | Test of a somewhat more advanced version of my Mario Kart 64 battle mode bot that I am developing for my upcoming rom hack Battle Kart 64. Luigi as Player 2 is the bot here who follows Mario (controlled by me) around the course. Much cleaner turning than the previous version. We found the arctan function in the game for calculating the angle between two players. Some custom assembly code I wrote calculates the angle between Player 1 and Player 2 and figures out which way to turn the bot. The bot itself is controlled by hijacking the controller input for Player 2 and feeding it the necessary button presses and control stick tilt values.
Battle Kart Bot Test triclon 2020-08-16 | This is a quick video showing a test of some new cpu battle bot code I made for my upcoming hack for Mario Kart 64 called Battle Kart 64. This test shows Player 2 as the bot following Player 1 who is me around. In fact, the bot is very hard to get away from. This still needs a ton of work, but this proof of concept is a huge step towards much smarter bots in battle mode than what I have had done before which mainly drove around randomly getting stuck in corners.
Mario Kart 64 Gameshark Code - Lots of spinning signs in Mario Raceway triclon 2020-04-08 | I cooked up a completely pointless Gameshark code for Mario Kart 64 (USA) that turns the trees and piranha plants on Mario's Raceway all into the giant spinning signs. Will glitch out or crash other courses so probably only load Mario's Raceway.Gameshark code (works on console and emulator):50003070 00008015F9B9 001750003070 00008115F9C8 0000I was able to make this code thanks to the information about the simple items array by queueRAM found here: http://skelux.net/showthread.php?tid=47&page=13
Mario Kart 64 whoah man totally trippy LSD graphics Gameshark code triclon 2020-03-25 | While trying to mess with getting Mario Kart 64 to work at 60 FPS on console, I messed up a Gameshark code and the result was some very trippy graphics. What is going on here? I was trying to reduce the clipping distance with a Gameshark code using a memory location 0x8015014C which was identified by Rena here: github.com/RenaKunisaki/mk64-practice-rom/blob/master/include/mk64/mk64-us.symClearly I did something wrong because this was the result. Sorry for the shakey camera. I wanted to get this video up quick so I took it with my phone in one hand while playing the game with the other.Gameshark Code: 8115014C 5200
Peppy always says Do A Barrel Roll - Star Fox 64 (v1.0) Gameshark Code triclon 2020-03-17 | Bring the best 90s meme to life with this Gameshark code for the Nintendo 64 game Star Fox 64. Peppy dialog is all replaced with "Do a Barrel Roll."This will only work with the USA/NTSC v1.0 of the game. There is also a v1.1 so be sure you are using v1.0. I only tested this on emulator. If you have trouble getting it to work on console, let me know. Sorry i couldn't figure out how to get the text to also say "Do a barrel roll." If anyone knows how to do it, let me know! Here is the Gameshark code:D116DBD8 41F0D016E10F 0001810C2F06 083ED116DBD8 41F0D016E10F 0004810C2F06 0000
Screwing with bomb textures in Mario Kart 64 triclon 2020-01-14 | Me screwing with the bomb textures in Mario Kart 64. Full description belowThe GS code used in the video.:810564DE 0D01 810564E2 7458810564E6 0D0181056512 7258Why am I doing this? An old screenshot of beta Mario Kart 64 shows a "winter bomb" and there is some speculation about what exactly it was supposed to be (see tcrf.net/Talk:Mario_Kart_64#Winter_Bomb). In an effort to try to see if there was anything left in the rom from the beta about a "Winter Bomb" .How does this work? I found in the rom where the bombs are rendered (it starts around 0x570DC) and found where the textures and palette are loaded. See hack64.net/Thread-Mario-Kart-64-Textures for more info on the textures and pallets. The main bomb texture set makes up a 4 frame animation.The first two lines of the gameshark code810564DE 0D??810564E2 ????points to the rom address for the first texture in the animation. Beware of signed addition here. If the second line ???? is greater than 0x7FFF add one to the first line's ??.The second two lines of the gameshark code810564E6 0D??81056512 ????point to pallet. Again beware signed addition.In the video, I have replaced the bomb texture with the left side of the textures that tell you what place you are in on the results screen. This video is really just a test. I will probably post a more comprehensive bomb texture modifier code later.
I win at Mario Party 2 triclon 2019-12-02 | Me and my brother were playing a 50 turn game of Horror Land in Mario Party 2. I was able to finally hatch my master plan of getting over 150 coins, a skeleton key, make a visit to Big Boo™ to steal three stars, and then afterwards land on the Koopa Bank. Yes I won the game, and yes I made this video to gloat.
Mario Kart 64 ROM hack - CPUs now (mostly) use human items including shells - version 2.5! triclon 2019-09-23 | Update 6 (version 2.8): drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1PzYj1_Td-dPVDwDusyjIzXZihLXs23IUThis video is of a ROM hack for the USA/NTSC version of Mario Kart 64 to (mostly) makes CPUs use human items in GP mode. The CPU item probabilities have been modified to use the human probability table and the CPU item select function above has been replaced by a custom function to try to match the CPU item states to the human ones as best as possible. Now after all these years CPUs finally can fire shells in GP mode! I have tested this hack in both emulators and on console, so it should work on an Everdrive 64.Besides single bananas, stars, ghosts, lightning, fake item boxes and single mushroom boosts, CPUs can now use:-Single green shells-Single red shells-Banana bunches-Triple mushroom boostsOther changes that have been made:-CPUs draw item probabilities based on their place (1st through 8th) from the same table as a human now instead of their own table.-CPU item spawn timing has been staggered so the CPUs don't all spawn items at once.-Lightning probability for CPUs has been toned down to make the game way less annoying to play.Some limitations (which I hope to overcome in future versions):-Triple shells have been replaced with single shells-Golden mushroom boosts have been replaced with triple mushroom boosts-Blue shells have been replaced with red shellsDownload the patch for version 2.8 here:drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1PzYj1_Td-dPVDwDusyjIzXZihLXs23IUSee my website: triclon.neocities.orgOnline ROM patcher:hack64.net/tools/patcher.phpSee the ASM and detailed notes for this patch here:docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FnmOFWeccoS6ri1Ay3RCmSXts5FqXRKtg_PNRHmKz6M/edit?usp=sharingWant to know more about how CPUs use items in MK64? See micro500's notes here:github.com/micro500/mariokart64/wiki/CPU-Item-SpawningOld news (no longer relevant but I will keep it here for historical purposes):Update 4 (version 2.4): The crash has finally been fixed! Scroll down to download version 2.4 of the patch. Turns out it was a bug in the actual game's code where the game would crash if DK makes a noise shooting a shell. Probably a bug the developers never fixed because they removed CPU shell firing from the game. I turned off the coproccessor command that was causing the crash. This might cause minor sound glitches, so if you notice any please let me know. I will work on a cleaner fix for the next version. Also another update in this version of the patch, I have staggered the times each CPU uses an item to make the game feel more natural, instead of all the CPUs firing items at once.Update 3: Turns out the patch still crashes. :( I am not sure why and will continue to try to debug it when I have some free time. If anyone wants to help, you can see the ASM here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FnmOFWeccoS6ri1Ay3RCmSXts5FqXRKtg_PNRHmKz6M/edit?usp=sharingUPDATE 2: If you were having issues with this rom patch crashing, download the latest version here which hopefully should fix the crashes:drive.google.com/file/d/18sQG-PLCTdnRSBPEvJeZ2sp1WpbFilKE/view?usp=sharingVersion 2.1 of my rom hack giving CPUs in Mario Kart 64 human items including shells (version 1 can be found here here: youtu.be/DZqDi9z4BAQ)
Mario Kart 64 Hacking Gone Horribly Wrong! The FAKE ITEM BOX TORNADO! triclon 2019-09-10 | In my attempts to make Mario Kart 64 CPU players shoot triple and blue shells, I managed to inadvertently come up with this whacktackular result. What is going on here? CPU racers are being forced to fire endless streams of red shells with the red shells replaced with fake item boxes (the idea being you can replace the red shell firing code with a blue shell to maybe get the CPUs to shoot blue shells). The fake item boxes spawn on the human player and not the CPUs and collide with each other making a giant fake item box tornado of polygons. CPU racers unlucky enough to drive into the tornado get hit.Here's the Gameshark codes you need to make this workCPUs spam items galore (by me)8101ACE0 24008101ACF0 24008101AD08 24008101AD20 2400CPUs always use red shells (by me)8101ABD0 24028101ABD2 0007Replace CPU red shells with something else (fake item boxes in this case) (by micro500)812B1EFA 000D8101B6DE 000D8101B77A 000D
Mario Kart 64 ROM hack - CPUs now (mostly) use human items including shells! triclon 2019-09-05 | UPDATE: Version 2 has been released! Go to youtu.be/h3iemYxPDCUThis video is of a ROM hack for the USA/NTSC version of Mario Kart 64 to (mostly) makes CPUs use human items in GP mode. The CPU item probabilities have been modified to use the human probability table and the CPU item select function above has been replaced by a custom function to try to match the CPU item states to the human ones as best as possible. Now after all these years CPUs finally can fire shells in GP mode! I have tested this hack in both emulators and on console, so it should work on an Everdrive 64.Some limitations:-As far as I know CPUs cannot use triple shells, so triple green and triple red shells have been replaced by single shells-I haven't been able to map out the mushroom boosts so the triple and golden mushroom boosts have been replaced by single mushroom boosts for the CPUs.-As far as I know, CPUs cannot fire blue shells, so the blue shell has been replaced with a red shell.-Normally humans are much more likely to get lightning than CPUs. With CPUs using the human item probability table, the ones near last place get lots of lightning. This can be annoying. A future version of this patch might reduce the lightning probability for CPUs.This was a massive undertaking in figuring out how the game treats how CPUs use items. The original goal was to get CPUs to fire shells. Thanks to micro500 for answering questions about out how the ASM works and to all the folks who wanted to see the CPUs shoot shells and gave words of encouragement. Working on this has helped me learn a lot about MIPS assembly code and how to hack Nintendo 64 games.Download the patch here:drive.google.com/file/d/1crM8dNk6SxkLjGWTp3SA6S75P2hIYTM4/view?usp=sharingOnline ROM patcher:hack64.net/tools/patcher.phpRead all the details, including the assembly code, here:github.com/micro500/mariokart64/wiki/CPU-Item-Spawning
Mario Kart 64 Hack - Freeing Marty The Green Thwomp from jail and making him a playable racer! triclon 2019-08-28 | Update 04/27/2020: No more need to input the Gameshark code. I have created a rom patch for this hack that can be downloaded here: drive.google.com/open?id=1xMZR0iXGrJJRP6pUQ8RYj44PW2VHjID2In Mario Kart 64 there is a green thwomp mysteriously locked behind bars in Bowser's Castle. He has been unofficially named Marty and has been the subject to longstanding rumors that he can actually be unlocked as a playable character. Several hoax and April fools joke images and videos have popped up over the years supposedly showing the convoluted things you need to do on the track in Bowser's Castle to unlock Marty as a playable character.Well now you can finally race as him with this hack! The current version works only in Bowser's Castle for Player 1 but it works for all engine classes and in both Time Trial and VS. mode (so you can play your friends as Marty).You can find the (long) gameshark code and the assembly code that makes it work here:docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XS0t5bveLWWpPBy72kFx0DccS7m16JnhBBOLDtNa-7o/edit?usp=sharingCopy the Gameshark code into your favorite emulator, or if you have the patience you can type it into a real Gameshark. I haven't tested that yet on a real console, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.I would like to thank micro500 (youtube.com/user/pjgat09) for help with the assembly code.A few interesting things I noticed when making this hack:-Marty's green color isn't caused by the lighting in his cell. The developers purposely shaded him green instead of blue.-Marty's behavior differs a bit from the other thwomps. He normally keeps his eyes closed but driving up to him makes him laugh at you.
It is real! Mario Kart 64 Battle Bots triclon 2019-08-05 | Way back in the 90s when I was a kid, I really wanted to play against the CPUs in battle mode but Nintendo never programed them in. Well... better late than never I suppose.What is this video?In this video I am Player 1 playing as Mario in battle mode against Peach, Toad, and Luigi who are all CPU bots. There are no other human players here, just me.So what are the bots?The bots are a (kind of long) Gameshark code.How?The code checks game's random number generator and randomly modifies button and control stick activators in the console's RAM to press the gas (A button), turn left or right with the cstick, or fire items with the Z button. The code basically is taking over the controller and then randomly mashing buttons while holding down A to make the bot move forward. You don't even need a controller plugged into the console for the bot to work. I have opted to give the bots random items since they don't always run into the item boxes.How smart are the bots?They are dumb. They will drive into walls, go in circles, get stuck in corners, drive off the level (in Donut and Skyscraper), and run into their own banana peels and fake item boxes. They make zero effort to go for item boxes, hunt you down, or run away. They are just doing a random walk to move around (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk).Can you make them smarter?Maybe. This is the first version of my battle bots code. In the interest of finishing it, and keeping the code as short as possible, I have opted for dumb bots.Can you have an all bot match?Yes you can! If people are interested, I can make a video. It is not as interesting to watch as you would think since the bots are really dumb and spend most of the time wandering around aimlessly into walls as stray bananas and shells slowly pick them off. Perhaps someday 4 bot battle matches can make it into Las Vegas sportsbooks and you can bet on the outcome.Does the code work in an emulator?Sadly I have not gotten it to work on any emulator I have tested it on. I am pretty sure this has something to do with how the emulator treats the controller input vs. the console, because this code works by modifying the location in the console's RAM that stores what buttons are pressed and the direction of the control stick. If you are able to get it to work in an emulator, please let me know.How I can I get the battle bots to work on my own console?Requirements:-A NTSC Nintendo 64-A Gameshark Pro (v3.0 or later.... I think)-An expansion pack (needed for the Gameshark to work with more than 15 lines of code)-A NTSC/USA copy of Mario Kart 64-The code: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KTrI4-FDUJoDa7UKHC0S20QzY41DczdsCD734p2ENtg/edit?usp=sharing-The patience to type all ~100 lines inI recommend you create 5 separate codes, 1 for "Don’t lose balloons when falling off course" and 4 more for each player. That way you can choose which players are human and which are bots by only turning on the codes for the players you want to be bots. Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues trying to get it to work.
Mario Kart 64 CPUs spam fake item boxes! - Gameshark codes triclon 2019-07-29 | Gameshark codes below:This video shows off two Gameshark codes for Mario Kart 64 (USA/NTSC) that I came up with today.

Mario Kart 64 CPU racers spawn items galore! - Gameshark Code triclon 2019-07-28 | Mario Kart 64 (USA/NTSC) CPU racers spawn items galore gameshark code:8101ACE0 24008101ACF0 24008101AD08 24008101AD20 2400This Gameshark code is the complete opposite of Parasyte's old CPU racers never use items code (8101ACF0 1000). By studying that code, I figured out how to disable all the checks on when the CPUs spawn items. The result? Pure chaos as the CPUs spawn items endlessly littering the track with bananas and fake item boxes.

Check it out here: youtu.be/DVsAXkWlnvQGameshark code in description below.This was an experiment to test if you can change the sky colors dynamically in Mario Kart 64. I use the game's random number generator to change the sky colors in Rainbow Road to random colors. As you can see, the game only sets the sky color above the horizon. Below the horizon, Rainbow Road is hard coded to black.

Bowsers Firing Squad - A glitched out attempt at a Mario Kart 64 Defense game triclon 2019-05-08 | I am trying to create a Mario Kart 64 "Defense" game using Gameshark codes where you get unlimited green shells and have to fend off the CPUs from crossing the finish line. My first attempt at this code glitched out freezing the camera and making most of the CPUs except for peach stuck at the back. This allows the player to unload green shells towards the camera and on CPUs for dramatic effect, hence "Bowser's Firing Squad". I guess a single Bowser doesn't really make a squad but the name sounded cool for the glitch so that's what you get.Hopefully I can fix this up and make a proper Defense game soon, so stay tuned.If you want to try the glitched out "Firing Squad" code yourself, here it is:8015F6FF 00008101ACF0 100081006704 100080165F5D 000380165F8A 0003D10F69BE 8000810F69BE 0000D20F7824 0000810F7784 8001D00F85FC 0000810F855C 8001D00F93D4 0000810F9334 8001D00FA1AC 0000810FA10C 8001D00FAF84 0000810FAEE4 8001D00FBD5C 0000810FBCBC 8001D00FCB34 0000810FCA94 8001
Mario Kart 64 Death Race - Mushroom Cup 50 CC GP Playthrough + Gameshark code! triclon 2019-04-24 | The Mario Kart 64 Death Race Gameshark code is a long (over 1000 lines!) code that I have created that turns the game into a "Death Race" like in F-zero X or Mario Kart 8 battle. Each player has 3 HP and dies when their HP = 0. At 2 HP, a character's color will be tinted darker, and at 1 HP a character will start to smoke. If you kill everyone, you win, get a point, and advance to the next track. If you die (or both players die in 2 player GP mode) you lose and must restart the race. I am still working on the VS mode scoring, so stay tuned.The video here is one of the first full playthroughs. Here I play the 50 CC Mushroom Cup in 2 player GP mode. I am Mario at the top and Luigi on the bottom is a CPU controlled bot.You can get a copy of the code and see detailed descriptions on how it works at the following Google Sheet:docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cuM45MkzCfLQxO2rnUA52XEoV3L_LJlOTRigrV_HfYM/edit?usp=sharingVYou can find many of my notes and my other Mario Kart 64 Gameshark codes here:github.com/kfkaplan/nintendo64_hacking/wiki
Mario Kart 64 DEATH RACE trailer triclon 2019-04-01 | Preview gameplay footage of the totally epic Mario Kart 64 Death Race™ Gameshark code I am working on. This is meant to be similar to the Death Race on F-Zero X. Each player has 3 HP and gets darker and starts to smoke as they take damage. 3 hits and a player is dead, like in battle mode. I still have some work to do on the win conditions, but I will soon release the (very long... maybe the longest ever made?) Gameshark code so you can play it yourself. Yes, it works in both GP and VS mode. While the idea behind the Mario Kart 64 Death Race started as a joke, I can absolutely assure you that this is real and totally not an April Fools hoax.
Mario Kart 64 Kaiju Mode Gameshark Code triclon 2019-03-12 | Mario Kart 64 (USA) Kaiju ModeHere's a gameshark code I cooked up by cobbling a bunch of other codes together and seeing the result. Player 1 is giant, can fire unlimited blue shells, can smash all others off the track, and is nearly invincible. Great way to blow off some steam.8015F6FF 000080165F5D 000780165F8A 0007800F6A4E 0002810F6BB4 400081163344 FFFF
Mario Kart 64 Frog Mode v1.0 triclon 2019-02-07 | Introducing Frog Mode v1.0 for Mario Kart 64! This hoppin' new Gameshark code modifies the gameplay to be like Frogger. Your now green tinted character cannot use the gas and break or else they will spin out. Instead you must push the control stick repeatedly in the direction you want to go and your character will hop like a frog. The traffic in Toad's Turnpike will now squish you instead of make you tumble. Why? Because cars squish frogs.Gameshark code and details can be found here:github.com/kfkaplan/nintendo64_hacking/wiki/Mario-Kart-64-Gameshark-Codes#frog-mode-v-10Note that since pushing the control stick activates the R button, you should navitage the game menus with the directional pad or else you will accidentally select "data" on the main menu. I am working to fix this in the next version of Frog Mode.
