The Junuary Project

A hack that tries to implement as many pre-release and prototype assets into SM64, With some extra polish.

Experience the stars of January ‘96 and other pre-release ones, and explore long forgotten test stages. Surf on lava past Blarggs, toss back at Ice Tossya, and find the Yellow Koopa Shell Switch.

Utilize old and forgotten moves such as Dashing, Squat Kick, SSK Sideflip, and JumpStep3.

Includes several debug features such as a position display, restored level select, free move, Frame Advance, and a custom speed display.

Fully compatible with console, no expansion pack is required.

To activate level select, go to the title screen and press Z + Start at the same time.

To activate position display, do the same code as the level select in-game.

To activate free move, press L + R + Start while paused.

To squatkick press B when crouching.

To dash hold B and move the analog stick forward.

Pre-release English dialog is also included.

To activate the speed display, press L.

1/19/2023 Update 3.4.12: “Another Junuary”

Dashing now uses beta acceleration, meaning it will be slow at the start but faster at the end. Heavily optimized math functions with code from HackerSM64, also collision optimization. Enabled the 9 vertex shadows, which was disabled by the developers. Changed two star names, “Small at Holm”, and “Clocking in at the Peak” Tossya no longer stutters when running, he now uses a dynamic run turn speed. Metal Wing Box, hopefully fixed. Moved some Yajima Land objects to subareas, mostly just the cap box duplicates.
