SM64 GBA is a fan project porting Super Mario 64 to the Game Boy Advance with added characters and features. It tackles 3D platforming on GBA hardware—something few commercial games attempted on the handheld. The project rebuilds classic levels while introducing new elements not in the N64 original. Development is ongoing with no set release date. Players navigate 3D environments using the GBA's limited controls and processing power. The team's focus is technical experimentation rather than commercial distribution. Updates appear irregularly as the volunteer developers work through the challenges of adapting a console 3D game to handheld constraints. If you're curious about homebrew projects pushing old hardware or want to see Mario 64's moveset on a different platform, this is worth tracking.
