12 years?! I guess that explains his unique expertise. Dude knows more about the N64 than any game developer ever did.
unfortunately making hacks for the n64 only ever became viable in 2019 due to rom manager/decomp so only a bit of that was actually developing on the N64. most of these are emulator only hacks :(
@@KazeN64 Your understanding of the hardware is still second to none. Seems like your recent stuff is less hacking and more development.
yeah i've always only used hacking as a tool for development.
@@KazeN64Would it have been emulator only tools before that you mean? I played around with Toads Tool 64 around 2011. The capabilities have definitely come a long way since then.
Kaze's recent work on the platform is a labor of love. The devs for SM64 had some pretty strict deadlines they needed to meet. Kaze's deadline is when he's happy with his work, so he can spend time polishing performance to a mirror shine
This was strangely nostalgic to watch since I've been playing your hacks since 2016
I was on edge to make a ,,hold up, ain't you Nathaniel B?" Joke, but I realized those aren't funny anymore

Kaze, who is normally so forgiving to the original developers because hindsight is 20/20, completely roasting them for not implementing split-screen co-op in the original release is so fucking funny to me.
To be fair the game had been in development for years and they had to get it out so the Nintendo 64 had it on release.
Not doing the split screen i the Japanese only uograded version is still stupid however as they had no rush to launch that one.
I think the fact that the ROM hack with Cockus Erectus in it got D tier is perfect.
I am so glad I paused to watch SimpleFlips play that.
@@GAHAHAHH that video is legendary, it was the birth of the gay baby jails
@@howisthis8849 Knowing the back story behind it makes it so much funnier.
ok gonna watch it now @@GAHAHAHH
Hey thanks for your Doom Eternal OST remasters.
This vid confirms Kaze is atleast 12 years old.
Developing Mario 64 hacks as a newborn baby, although highly improbable, is always a possibility
I could see him coming out of the womb with his first words being: "mother, I have n64 hacks to be developing right now"
*at least
Two words, not one. Think of the phrase "at the very least."

nice effort buddy
Thanks, I watched the whole thing and didn't want to go back and find some I wanted to try
9:36 that was so funny! Great list it was cool to see how you view your own hacks
Missing Link is seriously incredible, can't wait to see what Zelda work you can do with both OoT and MM decompiled
Wait did Kaze develop Missing Link or any Zelda romhacks?
@@manuccu Kaze and Zel made it, not sure how the distribution of labor was
*incredible. I can't (to fix your comma splice run-on)
*decompiled.
I really wish some of these hacks could be updated. Ones like SM64 Open World would be way less glitchy with the new tools and knowledge
I 100% agree, for example a more polished Odyssey
A polished SM64 ocarina of time hack would go so unbelievably hard.
Tbh last impact is my favorite rom hack, i love everything what you're put in there i wish it would be at a tier
With you on this one, think he was way too hard on himself. I still think harried honey hive is my top 3 levels of all Mario games.
Last Impact is definitely one of the more jankier hacks he has made, but it definitely should be in a tier due to how it kinda revived sm64 hacking as a whole and probably introduced alot of people to rom hacks in the first place (like me!)
S tier. Fixed that for ye.
*TBH, Last Impact
*hack. I
*everything that you put
*there. I
*A tier.
I'll try to phrase it in a constructive way, but Last Impact suffers from the classic Kaze issue... on steroids. It's all fun and giggles until you reach that one part that still looks good but feels terrible to play. He gets way too excited with adding new mechanics and powerups, but the more you deviate from the base game, the more testing you need to do to make sure everything will flow well from a gameplay perspective. And he (probably) doesn't have a team of guys of different skill levels giving him constant feedback. He makes impressive hacks and out of all the stuff he adds, most of it works great, but when it doesn't, it REALLY doesn't. You go from having a blast to getting frustrated about the jank in like a fraction of a second. Now this got a lot better with time, but Last Impact can be pretty unbearable at times.
I didn't realize you had so many projects! I feel like many people assume you just popped up out of no where when Last Impact released, but man you put in the work
*nowhere
*work.
i'd love to see you play some 64 hacks again
18:06 Honestly, Super Mario 64 Land is the best SM64 hack there is. It's one of the few hacks that actually feels like a complete game, there's just so much fun to be had with the moment to moment gameplay, creative level design and concepts and the original soundtrack. I don't understand the problem people had with 2-1
I LOVE last impact still and told all my buddies to try it out and they do too. S-tier man, all that work of yours paid off! Just my two cents
S Tier for The Missing Link is spot on, still the best ocarina of time hack to this day!
Last Impact was my first introduction to your channel. I had never played a rom hack before it, so I got all stars without having a proper controller, controlling mario with keyboard buttons and arrow keys was one of the hardest gaming experiences I've ever had LMAO!
I ended up 100% completing it. It took way longer than it ever should have, but I look back on it so fondly that it's still my favorite.
The Missing Link is a definitive masterpiece. Every area was rife with atmosphere and character of its own. Not to mention all customized areas and music, new items, and a new boss at the end.
We entreat you-please, create more Ocarina hacks. They’re in a class of their own.
Super Mario 64 land is my favourite romhack ever i mean the moveset, the power ups, the bosses and the levels each one with diferents themes and gimmicks, this game trully deserves a sequel (sorry for my bad english)
Honestly, I'd be hella down to continue the cancelled sunshine project as a collab. With that i mean if you or someone else could host a collab letting romhackers join in and participate with a sunshine level remade into SM64, would be cool
it'd be very neat but honestly i'd be unwilling to complete it on my own - and i wouldnt want to rely on others to make a hack like that again.
I love everything you make man. Amazing stuff.
Desert bus 64, a highlight. It changed me as a person.
man kaze you're a blessing to this community. what a cool retrospective.
This was a really really great idea, I really enjoyed the anecdotes and honest assessments!
nintendo*s nightmare ranked in one videos
Thank you very much for making this video, it helps many to know more about your hacks and it's interesting to see your point of view about what you do
I can’t let you do Last Impact like that dude it was my childhood rom hack !
I got a Steam Deck, Just Discovering Mario 64 Mods.
*-THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED.* 😱
Its so nice how far you have come, pretty cool!
Amazing stuff! Keep at it!
Amazing, thank you for your contribution to the N64 retro gaming scene mate. I hope you're having a top weekend!
Have only played Only Up & Star Road so far when it comes to rom hacks, looking forward to checking all these out.
Thank you for everything you have done for the sm64 community! I am sure everyone appreciates it!
I consider Missing Link canon to the Hero of Time’s story, that’s how good it was
Amazing stuff, thank you so much for sharing!
if this guy ever travels back in time to 1995, he would become Miyamoto's protegé and Nintendo's most jealously protected asset.
The Missing Link was amazing! I hope we can get a new Zelda hack in the future.
This was great. I had no idea where to start with the hacks. At least I know what to focus on now.
the idea of mario 64 rom hacks are kinda like making your own mario games
Cant believe he's still keeping up the act that the 2-1 trampolines aren't RNG
This is like watching John Carmack wax eloquent about doom. You're a legend dude.
Hadn't heard of your Zelda hack until now, might have to check that out.
That sm64 ocarina of time has always been my favorite, played through it over half a dozen times 😂
I'm surprised you didn't put Mario 64 online on this list. That mod was mindblowing back in the day, I remember everyone was doing 16-star run races and etc.
I'm a fan of your work 💯👍🏻
I can happily confirm that I've played all games showcased in this video (some of the craziest Mods only for 5 minutes, though).
Kaze is the reason I know sm64 the way it realy is, a game engine, thanks to him I discovered a whole new world of new experiences, I started with return to yoshis island then star road then waluigis taco something (idr the full name) then some smaler hacks like halloween jams, xmas, etc, then b3313 and way, way more. Im just thankfull to have discovered this world of creativity and dedication into one single old ass video game
smh justice for Through the Ages
I can't believe he forgot to rank his best work yet, Mario Maker 3
You should totally make a sequel to the OOT mod (MM)
4:32 kaze "I think this was 2015"
The date "oh you close just 4 years left"
So glad my favorite of your completed hacks, SM64 x OOT, was ranked at A. Also it was great to see some of your older hacks, notably that XD hack Simple managed to play. It really was one of Simple’s best videos. Overall I agree with the grades you gave for your hacks, But I think last impact could’ve been low A tier. I know it was received very well from the few reviews I saw of it & even when when I played it years ago I had a blast doing 100%. I just don’t think it aged particularly well
last impact in B tier? Man I loved that game way back when it came out. It was right up there with star road for me
As a Mexican, I think Super Trump 64 should have an S ranking
I had no idea you did waluigi's taco stand! Ggwp
So many improvement in 12 years nice tier lice too
You really underrated traumatic tic toc tower. To this day it's one of my favourite kaizo hacks.
we love you kaze
Now im planning to play some of these because I haven't seen them before now
19:13 perfect mic bonk
Its great to see the face to the brain of one of the big Trailblazers of Mario 64 Modding
This was a fun, nostalgic watch.
Also totally lowballing mario 64 land.
Mario xd was my first simpleflips video I gotta rewatch it
Last Impact at B tier is harsh man. I fucking love that hack so much, I only ever wished it could be playable on sm64coop. That shit was amazing!
Gotta say I hope that this list leads some people to check out the other hackers you mentioned, the lack of fanbases they have in comparison to you (not that you dont deserve it) kills me.
could not stop laughing at Super Mario XD. great stuff
Will you ever write and self-publish a strategy guide for your ROM hacks?
Love them all ngl
After yoshis island is done would love to see more LOZ. Missing links only crime was I beat it way too fast I want more.
And here we see a great example of being your own worst critic.
I'd love to see you remake the Super Mario 64 DS or the N64. The graphics on SM64DS is offputting when compared to the N64 SM64, so i'm definitely keen on a remake.
Yeah he probably isn't gonna do that, that's been requested since the beginning of time, also instead of a remake id rather for all the new stars, levels and characters be added into the game as the DS version removes some stars
i had no idea about SM64 XD and watched SF video after you claimed its his funniest video. I definitely wasnt disappointed lmao. S Tier Mod
Super Ultra Kaizo Memeio Road 128 Stars Extreme Edition Revenge Deluxe deserved S+, a rank of its own for being the magnum opus of all gaming.
It's wild to think just how many SM64 mods I remember were just made by one person
Wild? Mods aren't really something that requires collaborative effort... They can be as simple as just swapping textures around.
why's there an image of the abc trials if it's not talked about in the video
Damn, he isn't a giant realistic joystick.
we need to know where releasio falls on the tier list
Desert bus 64 definitely should be S tier, it is a perfect recreation and you get exactly what you expect from it.
Wait YOU worked on the Missing Link?? I love that hack, it was my first n64 hack ever
yeah i was like the main guy on the project. the first year was just me working on it until zel and cdi-fails joined the project and remade a lot of content to be higher quality.
Split screen multiplayer is absolutely S-tier, I couldn't stop smiling playing it because honestly it was a dream come true. So this is also my opportunity to say a sincere Thank You!
oh yeah waluigi's taco stand! The thing which changed smg4 into more storytelling!
This man is a Treasure of Earth
8:46 bro is that one of those scrapped half-life aliens
god you are one productive lad
I understand you have a very unique perspective on Last Impact but honestly I think it deserves an A tier, it definitely has its issues, but I think it still holds up pretty well and is one of the most influential SM64 ROM hacks to date
Also where's the Chaos Mario ranking :)
I got all the stars in super mario 64 land (except for the a rank all courses stars),I really loved the rom hack and the custom bosses were splendid 8/10
Missing Link is so good. SSS tier for me.
12 years❤
Hey Kaze I really enjoy the hacks of yours I have played :) though I dont have a good controler for PC so i only play the ones that are everdrive compatible
Tf you mean tacos stand d tier 😢
I got a dumb question
How does the Memory expansion pak work, could you theoretically read and write on both the expansion pak and the onboard ram to double memory speed? Unlikely since the jumperpak...
Is there any specific order the hacks were covered in?
Blasphemy, you should give yourself more credit with Last Impact and put it a little higher.
Missing Link is really good I completly played it.
I wish there were more OOT/MM Fan Versions on that Quality Level.
Makes me feel inadequate lol
Where are your chaos mods ?
Impressive how many projects you have done!
We could make a marble race homebrew game that uses the N64 Expansion Pak, 480i 60fps, 128KB flash, Controller Pak support, and a sprite polygon mix a la Mario Kart 64.
I like how you got like 70% of the years wrong xD
Can’t you recoding Last Impact for the online mod ?
I been replaying M64 land and SM_OOT.. cant wait for Return to drop
i think last impact is at least A tier i had a lot of fun with it
man 2013 2016 2018... i remember when lots of these hacks were new no way its been that long
Justice for desert Mario 64, deserves S tier
I can't wait for Super Mario Maker 3
