This unofficial Super Mario Sunshine PC port puts Nintendo’s Switch 2 version to shame

Super Mario Sunshine was recently re-released on the Switch as part of the Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. According to XDA Developers, this followed its 2020 release on the original Switch as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection.

A YouTuber, known as Throaty Mumbo, has created a modern VHS-based gaming system. Tom's Hardware reported that Mumbo was inspired by an old 1987 VHS-connected gaming system called ActionMax, which he found to be disappointing due to its limited and imprecise interactivity.

Mumbo's new system uses modern technology, including a DE1-SoC FPGA board and a Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU, to enhance the VHS gaming experience. The system is capable of playing versions of Super Mario Bros. and Doom, with the FPGA powering overlay graphics and switching between video streams.
