Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 is the first game of Nintendo 64, and certainly one of the best games of that console. The graphics are very good for the beginning of the console.The environment is very beautiful, and the characters are very well-made. The game has cool musics.Despite Mario's idiot voice, the game's sound is perfect. The gameplay is good.Mario had many abilities, specially jumping abilities, such as double jump, triple jump, backward jump, wall kick and backward somersault. And the game is one of the N64 games with the most perfect fun factor.Simply COOL! The overalls are:

GRAPHICS:10/10. SOUND:9/10. GAMEPLAY:9/10. FUN FACTOR:10/10.

My overall for this jewel is 9.5/10.

Mario is invited to Princess Peach's castle for cake. When Mario gets there, he finds out that Bowser has kidnapped her! Mario must save the day again. Unlike the 2-D games, Mario can explore anything he wants to. He can just roam around, climb trees trying to look for 1-Ups, find secrets in levels, and more. You can spend four hours in one level. No time limits. There are 16 worlds, with a number of stages, and there are star doors, which you need a certain number of stars to get into. Once you get in these star doors, you must go through a stage and fight Bowser at the end of the stage. To get to certain worlds, you need a number of stars to get in. You enter the world by going through a painting. There is so much stuff to do and so many hours of gameplay, I don't see how anyone could dislike this game. It's great. This launch title is the game that insured gamers that the N64 would have a good life. Every 3D plat-form game we know of has something in common with SM64. Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie are examples that are commonly used. Super Mario 64 is one of the greatest games in the history of 3D games. 10 out of 10. If you have an N64, buy this game. It's hard to find used, because no one's selling this baby for 5 bucks at the pawn shop. A perfect 10.

Rated E

I never actually owned a Nintendo 64 but I have played one many times.In my opinion along with Conkers Bad Fur Day, Super Mario 64 is one of the best video games for the Nintendo 64 system.I have played this game plenty of times and its good every time.If you have an N64 and don't have this game you should try to find it.The original Super Mario Bros games were side scrolling video games but Super Mario 64 has a 3D Mario in a nice 3D environment.The game is sort of weird but there is plenty of things you can do in the game.You play as Super Mario and once again you must rescue Princess and the 120 power stars from Bowzer.Now you can do it in a 3D environment.Super Mario 64 is a very fun and good N64 game and I recommend it.

10/10

Mario 64 has enchanted our minds way before Zelda or GoldenEye. It felt so diverse, so powerful, and yet so fun, that you wouldn't let go of your controller. Shigeru Miyamoto did an excellent job of creating Mario in a seamless 3-D world with true freedom. It's one of the best N64 games out there!

When Nintendo 64 came out Christmas of '96, I remember the hype and anticipation and was surprised to receive one as a present for Christmas the very year news programs were alerting viewers that stores were being raided in search of the systems. It was worse then than now -- remember the Tickle Me Elmo fury? N64 was bigger, and worse.

Anyway, along with the platform was included the essential and unarguably most popular N64 game, "Super Mario 64." This was a breakthrough at the time. Nowadays, it's old-fashioned and the game has been adapted for a hand-held system. Back in 1996 (less than ten years ago mind you) it took a huge system to play the game.

It was breathtaking, then. The three-dimensional, fully-immersible world was amazing and unseen. As a result much of this game is kind of "showy" -- it does attempt to wow and amaze. But it only enriches the game play because Nintendo poured EVERYTHING into making this the most overwhelming game ever at that point in time -- it was awesome.

The game is still a classic and one of the best you'll ever play. Technically speaking it's not your standard Mario game because it's three-dimensional and features more of a plot and more options etc. -- but I like that for what it is. The two-dimensions has its qualities, and so does this.

"Mario 64" is a great game and still one of the best you can ever play. If you have never had a chance to play this, go to Ebay and spend thirty bucks and get an N64 and this game. It's worth it.
