Somebody modded Super Mario Odyssey's possession ability into Super Mario 64

If Mario's actually been the hat all along, as some fans speculated after seeing Super Mario Odyssey's new enemy-possessing "Capture" move in action, then why couldn't he assume direct control before now? One modder has resolved that bothersome inconsistency by tweaking Super Mario 64 to retcon in a surprisingly full-featured version of Cappy capturing.

Sure, you'll have to wait for Super Mario Odyssey to play through levels that are actually designed with capturing in mind, but this is a fun little amuse-bouche until then.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
