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 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 :)
