About Waluigi Hacked (Lives Hacked)
I stumbled upon Waluigi Hacked (Lives Hacked) while poking around some old ROM archives, and it immediately caught my eye with its cheeky premise: play through Super Mario 64 as the lanky purple mischief-maker, and never worry about running out of lives. The usual 1-Up mushrooms and Question Blocks are still there, but your life counter hilariously locks in at a high number, so you can leap off cliffs, get stomped on by a Goomba, or dive into toxic sludge without breaking a sweat. It feels like someone hit the “what if?” button and decided Waluigi deserved unlimited second chances.
The actual gameplay tweaks are surprisingly polished. Your moves mirror Mario’s—triple jump, wall kick, long jump—but there’s something delightfully goofy about Waluigi’s lanky stride and flailing arms. The creator even slipped in a few custom animations, like a more dramatic slide when you bail off a slope, plus some new camera angles that make the mansion hallways feel a bit spookier. All the familiar levels are here: Bob-omb Battlefield, Jolly Roger Bay, Tick Tock Clock—only now, every corner echoes with Waluigi’s “WAAAH!” whenever you land a jump or take damage.
But the real kicker is the “Lives Hacked” feature. Instead of the usual tension of conserving lives, you get to explore everything without fear of a game over screen. You can bounce off lava flows, experiment with glitches, and even use a built-in warp menu to zip between paintings without worrying about your life tally. It’s a sandbox twist on a classic, freeing you to chase glitches or locate secret stars at your own pace.
Overall, Waluigi Hacked (Lives Hacked) feels like a love letter from one fan to another—albeit one with a mischievous grin. It’s great for speedrunners who want to practice tricky tricks without restarting, for modders curious about how those old N64 sprites got retextured, or just for anyone who loves seeing the underdog take center stage. Give it a spin, embrace the chaos, and remember: with Waluigi on your side, you’ve got unlimited lives to spare.
