This add-on integrates libsm64 into Blender and provides various additional integrations with Fast64. Practically, this means if you're making levels with Fast64 in Blender, you can use this add-on to drop a controller-playable Mario into your scene to run around and test your terrain layout.
Warning: This plugin hasn't been battle-tested for very long, save often and use at your own risk!
If you find a way to crash it, please post an issue or otherwise let me know!

Only Windows and linux are currently supported, no MacOS support yet unfortunately.
Download the latest release zip from here. In Blender, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Add-Ons and click the "Install" button to install the plugin from the zip file. Find the libsm64-blender addon in the addon list and enable it. If it does not show up, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Save&Load and make sure 'Auto Run Python Scripts' is enabled.
Before opening Blender make sure you have an XInput controller connected if you want to control Mario with a controller. Alternatively you can use the keyboard to control him. With the add-on enabled there should be a LibSM64 tab in the properties sidebar. Browse to an unmodified SM64 US z64 ROM, and then click the "Insert Mario" button to insert a controllable Mario at the 3D cursor location. To stop the simulation just delete the "LibSM64 Mario" object from the scene.
Note: The SM64 US ROM must be the one with the SHA1 checksum of 9bef1128717f958171a4afac3ed78ee2bb4e86ce.
