Holy damn! That looks ill!!! Going to try it this weekend. Thanks for letting us now.

(That music was kind of "killing it" for me , don't know why, it felt a bit "lazy", just my 2 cents)

Gotta be honest, not impressed. The cloud tutorial level is horrible. Can't see where you're supposed to be going, thought I was at the top and jumped onto the ledge only be told nope, can't do that back to start! Same with the mushroom level, the camera is just rank.

Going out of the tutorial level is just plain vanilla game with some 'hidden levels' somewhere?? Am I missing something here or do i just suck? Not really got the patience to play this whole game again while seeking out unknown additions.

Have now discovered a timed mission level which while running about in, hit an invisible portal which took me straight into another level to begin without any warning and will now have to go back to do that one again!

There is no direction to this mod, so far I have experienced an absolute mess. I have no idea what the rest of you are seeing!

Seems like the 60FPS is a complete mess on a Wii with Nintendont, game speed is tied to framerate with double buffer Vsync forced, so if it can't hit 60 it goes to a slo-mo 30.

The vanilla game's 60FPS patch (from the Dolphin wiki) runs much better, hits 60 most of the time from what I've played, and any frame drops just result in some minor screen tearing rather than Mario entering bullet time.

Has anybody got it working on real hardware? I'm trying to load it in Swiss and I just get a black screen. Works in Dolphin though.

Using the clean Redump ISO.

The devs claim they test on real hardware and it should work.

Edit: I had to update Swiss.
