The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

This hacks aims to recreate and reimagine vanilla SM64 levels from memory and remove stupid stars that I never liked in the original. That said, some levels will be similar to vanilla while others will feel like fully new levels, because of how bad the originals were e.g. Course 15. If you desire new stuff, the endgame close to 150 stars is filled with new original stages just like SM64DS had new levels.
