Press M during play to switch between CJ and Mario. The contrast is the attraction: Mario’s movement code and character rendering are placed inside San Andreas’s environment, letting you approach a familiar world with a different playable character. It is an integration into an installed game, not a standalone Mario adventure or a conversion of the Definitive Edition. The creator still labels it under development. Start by exploring the character switch in an ordinary session before treating it as a replacement for every scripted mission.

Place your US Super Mario 64 ROM beside gta\_sa.exe and name it sm64.us.z64. Both the ASI plugin route and the ROM path matter; putting the ROM only inside scripts does not follow the documented layout. For the delisted Steam edition, the maintainer points to a downgrade to version 1.0. That instruction does not apply to the Definitive Edition, which is a different target. Release packages and development artifacts are separate download routes.

SkyGFX creates a different known conflict: excessive brightness and incorrectly drawn facial textures. The documented remedy is to disable dualPass in its INI files. Those are specific compatibility notes for existing mods. Adding this plugin to a heavily modified installation can make it harder to identify the cause of a visual problem, so check the known interactions before changing several graphics mods at once.
