Tomba! 2 v0.3.0 - Experimental Mario's Hat

US Windows preview with Mario's Hat — EXPERIMENTAL 0.0.1, optional and disabled by default.

Enable it in Mods, select your original Super Smash Bros. 64 US 1.0 ROM, then equip Mario's Hat in the costume menu. The ROM is verified on every launch even when imported assets are cached. Your Tomba! 2 USA disc is also required. No Nintendo ROM or imported assets are included.

• Mario appearance, motions and voices; double jump, extended punches and native grab/throw interactions.
• Corrected facing, chest perch, post/ledge grab, hanging and climbing presentation.
• Complete launcher fonts/artwork and diagnostics-free production build.
• Preserves wall-clock pacing with VSync off by default; existing user preferences still override it.
• CD Speed and host-paced Fast Loading packages are excluded.

Validation includes real inventory/gameplay interactions, native memory-card restoration, current-build mid-voice save/load, ROM refusal checks, and all 54 original-disc native-cache recipes. Representative steady village pacing measured about 59.9 guest VBlanks/s for Tomba and Mario at the approved 5x/adaptive-wide profile. Full progression, all-stage performance and complete native coverage remain unproven.

This release contains the US Windows x64 ZIP and SHA-256 sidecar. Existing Italian/Linux releases remain available separately. OpenBIOS and its MIT notice are bundled.
