So, the post I made earlier today about a fake unlocking method for Waluigi in Super Mario 64 DS?
Well I saw that fake leak or whatever you call it a long time ago and for the unlock method it said "Find all the Power Stars and be the Fastest Runner in all the land".
Ever since I saw that image, the "fastest runner in all the land" part made me think of Sonic. From that day onward I had the idea of another Mario 64 Remake with 4 playable characters, but this time those characters would be the mascots for each of the 4 major console makers in history.
Mario for Nintendo
Sonic for Sega
Crash for Playstation
Master Chief for Xbox
Obviously this will never actually happen. Collaboration issues aside, having Crash as the Playstation Mascot is a little iffy in terms of it works nowadays, Sega eventually ended up dropping out of the console market, and let's be real here, Sonic's speed would make him nigh unplayable in over half of the levels of Mario 64.
But it was a fun idea to think of at the time. And to be honest, the image of Master Chief running around Mario 64 courses jumping on Goomba's is pretty darn funny.
