Super Mario 64 2 was the tentative title for a Mario game in development that served as the direct sequel to Super Mario 64, intended for release in May 1, 1999. It was going to be for the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, but was cancelled early in making due to lack of progress and the commercial failure of the 64DD add-on.
Plot
Though no plot has been found, it would've most likely be like the first game with new levels and Luigi.
Why It Was Cancelled
- The Nintendo 64DD was a commercial failure, leading this game only a bit of progress before getting flushed down.
Result
No game, but the closest that we'll ever get is Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Galaxy, and its sequel, as they have Luigi and the DS version has a multiplayer mode, and all have new levels.
