    This is one of my favorite libraries from the premise alone. Here is an example of Mario in Half-Life 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld3qhqkegNw

    Looks like this has been around for a while now, are there any interesting projects using it?

      Someone created an AR sandbox using it on the Quest 3. The player draws platforms and mario can jump around on the platforms and on your couch and stuff. That is probably the killer app of VR that everyone has waited for.

    Wrap it in an API, sell Mario 64 as a service.

      I imagine Nintendo is a bit more like malfunctioning ED-209 in the office scene than a person with a rifle.

    So let me get this straight, is the intent of this so that if you have some game like Call of Duty, you could use this to just add Mario running around in there jumping around like it was SM64?

      It's specifically about the mechanics/physics rather than the model, but yes.
