Genuinely really fun my only complaint is some more fish there needs music when we make a big catch other than that it's fun
Not at all what I was expecting reading some of the reviews I tought it was going to be bad mod ends up being GREAT WHAT THE HECK now we need some kind of minigame like the big cat one from sonic that would be super!!!! Please and thankssss!! OH! Can you add some more shops around as it gets annoying sometimes running back and forth Kay thankssss
I don't like fishing fishing not very fun for me but it's very fun in sm64 and I never thought there was fishing before so this is kinda cool!!! 😎 good mod but some of boats need more stuff so we can hang out near more places that would be soooo good!!!! Friends really like mod too so thank you!
Awesome concept, however I don't think all of the features in this mod could have possibly be executed any more poorly. The text in the menus is so small that some of the pixels don't render so it's like deciphering a minecraft enchanting table. The fishing itself (if it can even be called that) is severely lacking. The rod uses Mario's origin with no offset so it just sticks out from between his legs. No balancing or any sort of minigame while you are reeling either, you just hold down the A button until the little meter fills up. Whenever you do catch a fish, all you are rewarded with is text on the screen. No model, no image, just the concept of whatever you just caught purely in text form. The ship to fast travel to other areas is nice I guess but it is very janky and has no collision. Quite frankly I don't know how you manage to mess up a model that is already a Mario 64 vanilla asset. Speaking of messed up assets this Luigi model is going to haunt me until the end of time. His face has been melted and he's holding the most high-poly fishing rod I've ever seen. Also no recolourability, no surprise on that one. Thank goodness he is the only player model that is replaced. Overall I think this is a great and underrated concept but this mod is giving HUGE vibecoded energy.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the mod and from my understanding didn't have a easy time progressing past easy to medium catches. In v1.2 there were two more difficulties past easy. (The press and hold A to catch) The text has been addressed in the next update as I am working with other play-testers to see what works best. The model was a bit of a meme between the playtesters as it was originally just normal luigi with a gigantic fishing rod, which later changed to a different version. Neither the test or the release version had recolourability. The JRB boat was originally made in parts as I wanted to use the top layer for a "boat dock", this was later changed.
Thank you for bringing up these concerns and I look forward to improving the mod. Each of my mods are human made and will continue to stay that way.
I dont like fishing so much (fishing its boring for me xd) but anyways, i like this mod! i never thought about a fishing mechanic in SM64, but seeing this in SM64 is something very cool. Thanks for creating the mod! ba bye :)
