I wonder if online multiplayer mods could be made for multiplayer games.

That would be awesome. My guess is yes but it would probably take a lot of work. Can you imagine N64 Smash online multiplayer that actually works?

You can already do this with some N64 emulators with built in netplay like, Project64KSE. There is a small community dedicated to it with a website here.

Smash Bros Melee is much more popular to play online nowadays, and there is a great update for online play called Project Slippi. It works with the dolphin GameCube emulator and makes it very quick and easy to find games against similar skill level players. It also adds rollback netcode, stats, and other QOL features.

If Nintendo, themselves, put out an online Smash Melee remake, it would never be as close to good as Project Slippi already is.

Easily. That works even in an emulator cough cough netplay cough cough

Support would be way better if implemented within the game itself (although I think that goes without saying, 😝)
