The Virtual Console is the second official re-release of Super Mario 64. It is the overall fastest platform for speedrunning Super Mario 64, due to its lack of lag and fast loading times. | The Virtual Console is the second official re-release of Super Mario 64.

Super Mario 64 is available on the Virtual Console service on the '''Wii''' and the '''Wii U'''. | |||
The Wii Virtual Console is generally preferred over the Wii U because of the Wii U's inherent 4–5 frames of input lag caused by syncing the game to the Wii U Gamepad. GameCube controller support on the Wii is also a major advantage because despite the Wii U having an official GameCube controller adapter, it is not compatible with the Virtual Console service. | |||

You will need a Wii that has GameCube ports. A GameCube controller is required for a basic setup, but by default, the analog stick mapping on Wii Virtual Console is inaccurate to the original (N64) in a way that makes tilting (for e.g. speed-kicks and quick-turns) harder. This is rectified by using an '''ESS adapter''', which remaps this to be more accurate to the original. The generally recommended one is manufactured by [https://electromodder.co.uk/ Electromodder]. | |||
An ESS adapter not only allows (1) stick mapping correction, but also (2) the use of an N64 controller (as well as GameCube controller), and (3) input display. | |||
