About

Super Mario 64: Shadow Edition is ROMhack/mod of Super Mario 64 that replaces Mario with Shadow, changing the gameplay style to be similar as the gameplay seen in the Sonic Adventure series. Shadow can run much faster, run over the water and do recognizable techniques such as the Homing Attack, the Spin Dash. When in water, Shadow can't swim, he jumps infinitely instead. Shadow can also go Super and the player can change the damage system to that of Mario 64 or that of the Sonic series.
