A new Prop Hunt mod is being developed for Super Mario 64, as announced by the YouTuber Drenchy. This mod is the creation of Blocky, a well-known Mario 64 modder, and was commissioned specifically for Drenchy’s YouTube channel. The mod is designed as an extension of Super Mario 64 COOP Deluxe, a multiplayer mod for the unofficial PC port of Super Mario 64. It requires a legitimate copy of the original N64 ROM to play.

In this Prop Hunt mode, players can transform into various objects across several maps from Super Mario 64, with the objective of hiding from hunters and surviving until the end of a time limit. The mod includes features such as a model select menu, allowing players to disguise themselves as different objects like coins, trees, item boxes, and enemies. Additionally, players can place fake props to deceive and temporarily stun seekers, and use object animations to blend in better with their surroundings.
The mod is also compatible with Limbokong’s Super Mario 64 COOP Deluxe Proximity Chat mod, another project made for Drenchy’s channel. Although there is no specific release date yet, it is expected to be available soon, and updates can be followed on Drenchy’s channel.
