Maafia Monthlies are the Smash 64 Wave to Ride!
Tune in or get steam rolled by your local Crash/Mewtwo mains!
Last night marked new beginning — Maafia, the content creator who put Smash 64 back on the map for me, hosted his first Netplay tourney for Smash Remix — the community driven mod that’s already tripled the roster of the vanilla game and added seemingly endless amounts of new stages and custom content.
What makes this significant is how rollback has made competing viable from international distances! Instead of once a year flying to Peru for Inkafest or meeting up in the states for Supernova, everyone can compete like they were in the same room year around. Last night at Maafia Monthlies, the western world experienced that joy for the first tournament hosted by an actual N64 competitor!
Maaf was able to bring in an impressive 150+ entrants to his online event, and surprisingly he was only seeded 22! The returning champ of Cashbox #27 (the Hbox Rollback tournament) made a return — Lowww, a New York player ranked 10th for Smash 64 in 2025. They were along side Hooded, JeyKeyAr (pronounces JKR) and Janco for winners side top 8. Losers side saw, KrisKringle, Holzberd, Moosh_Da_Moosh and of course Fray, who’s the Creative Director behind the entire remix project!
Lots of impressive and unprecedented moments came from the whole tournament but especially in Top 8, which I’ve got timestamped in the embedded video below.
Not sure when the next one will be. If this ‘last Sunday of the month’ schedule is what they stick with then possible check Maafia’s socials closer to June 28th, 2026.
