But all is not well- the evil [[BigBad King Bowser]], ruler of the Koopas, has decided he is unsatisfied with this peace and desires to be the sole ruler of all. To that end, he has seized the Black Grand Star and allied with various monsters of his own to invade Hyrule, intending to take the other Grand Stars. Princess Peach gives a scroll to a Toad and sends him to find Mario in the Toad Forest, asking him for help. And so, Mario sets out to collect the stars and defeat Bowser and his army.

* LighterAndSofter: Than both ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMario64LastImpact''. The former, despite being a family-friendly game, dealt with dark topics, had onscreen deaths, contained a horrifying BadFuture where innocents were slaughtered en masse, and had Ganondorf be a vile villain for perpetrating all this. The latter dealt with the coming destruction of the world, and also had some dark themes. In this hack, Bowser, while a genuine threat, does not seem to be nearly as ruthless as Ganondorf, there are no real onscreen deaths, and the consequences of Bowser's reign are vague and implied; although several towns became {{Ghost Town}}s, it is ambiguous as to what happened to the inhabitants, if Bowser killed them or if they simply left.

* HardLevelsEasyBosses: The levels and dungeons are a true test of skill, combining the puzzle-solving of ''Zelda'' with ''Mario 64'' platforming, and some of the stars are very difficult. The bosses and mini-bosses, however, are mostly easy in comparison, as they are all a KingMook, often with little change to their attack pattern from their normal enemy versions. The main exception is the FinalBoss Bowser himself, who is a genuine challenge.

* BraggingRightsReward: Getting 170 stars and going to the house in Kakariko to turn back the Boo back into a Rabbit nets Mario the [[spoiler:permanent Wing Cap]] ability, which can allow Mario to reach stars in super high places and bypass most obstacles. But since there are 171 stars in the game, by the time you get this, you are likely to have already gotten all the stars that the ability would have been useful in getting. You ''can'' use it against the FinalBoss by flying up to the cannons to hit him.

''Super Mario 64: Ocarina of Time'' is a ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' ROM hack crossover with ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. It takes the world of ''Ocarina'' and rebuilds it with ''Mario 64'' gameplay.

The hack takes place in an alternate universe where Hyrule is populated by the Mario cast. Hyrule is the center of a large empire of kingdoms inhabited by many tribes. In Hyrule, these different tribes live in harmony; Toads, Koopas, Bob-ombs, Penguins, and other creatures all coexist peacefully, ruled by their benevolent leaders, Princess Peach and her allies, each of whom has one of the 9 Grand Stars that keeps this balance.
