Could you build this?
No An Android port of Paper Mario 64 depends on decompiled or reverse-engineered game code, N64 emulation and rendering internals, and HD graphics work. It also raises serious copyright issues, and specialized low-level expertise is required.
What it would actually take: The usual approach is to start from a community decompilation of the game, then port the C code to Android via the NDK and OpenGL ES. HD textures and remastered assets need an asset-extraction pipeline. This requires deep reverse-engineering, graphics, and performance expertise, and it depends on legally sourced game data.
