It’s 2021 and Super Mario 64 now has ray tracing

You might think that blending mid-90s textures with 21st century lighting tricks would look hideous, but this video from the Super Mario 64 The PC port searches for very pleasant.

So yes, if you’ve ever wondered what an RTX 3090 can be used for Super Mario 64, now you know!
