Paper Mario has been one of the hardest games to develop texture packs for, this is partly due to how stylised every scene is, so you have to faithfully recreate every texture or risk destroying the look and feel of the game. Despite being a popular game there has never been a 100% coplete texture pack for it.
"A lot of people don't like my decisions of changing a character but in the end, it is my texture pack," Nelde told Polygon. "As I can't make it right for everyone, I mainly do it for myself. If someone doesn't like a decision I made, they are of course free to take out or replace these textures in my pack once it's released."

There's currently no release date for the texture pack. The designer hopes to have it finished in time for the game's 15th anniversary, at which point he'll release it for free online. Anyone interested will be able to download it and load it into an emulator.
Many of the most old-school of gamers still pride themselves on playing all the classics on the original hardware and look down on emulation. Many other Nintendo fans may be loading up their Wiis with plenty of excellent N64 games on the Virtual Console. However, if you are looking for something to breath a bit of fresh air into your favorite N64 games, you may want to look into some neat little hacks you can do with an N64 emulator and some select plugins and texture packs.
One of the coolest tricks in N64 emulation is re-texturing. With this technique, the original graphics of the game are taken out, redone using high resolution textures or a different graphic style (such as Cell Shading), and then reinserted for playback on the PC. These texture packs consist of zipped files that you download and use in combination with a copy of the original game ROM and specific emulators. (See this guide for a detailed example)
The only disadvantage to this technique is that there is a lot of time and effort that goes into these texture packs. Dedicated members of the N64 emulation community pour their creativity and skill into these creations and is is no small task to adequately take care of one game, let alone the entire N64 library. Because of this, not every N64 game is going to have high-resolution texture packs available. Although, you are free to join in on the initiative yourself.
Out of those instances like Sega using fan-made tools to create a game and Industrial Park being used to make/import assets over to Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, the gamecube game on that port for the All-Stars had it's aspect display hacked for the switch to make Sunshine run on 16:9 and with upscaled texture packs.--Crazy Muzzarino (talk) 04:29, September 10, 2020 (EDT)
