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!
Most classic and amazing Nintendo 64 game ever!!!!! A must have! if you are a true old Nintendo fan, you own this. And if you don't? Buy it now! Anyone who has anything negative to say about this game can go off themselves. (to put it as nicely as I possibly can). Douche Taco's who talk negatively about this game are just retarded and don't deserve to have hands to play any game at all. This is a classic and very nostalgic. It is just amazing how insanely advanced this game was at its time. People who say stuff about the camera being a little off or the graphics being sorta 'blocky' need to be beat with a bat and then p***ed upon. NO CRAP THE GRAPHICS CAN BE MESSED UP. It was created in 1996 for Christ's sake. It's amazing for that time and it's completely revolutionary (along with Banjo, because that game was awesome as well). I don't know if many people are willing to give this game up though, so if you have a chance, pick it up. Plus, for a child-oriented game, it is pretty tricky! I'll be honest, when I was little I never beat the game. I JUST beat it last year because I dusted off the old Nintendo after rage quitting Call of Duty. GOOD STUFF, A MUST HAVE!
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.
Super Mario 64 Is with no doubt the best video game of the century. The 3-D graphics are superb and it's very entertaining and fun! Mario 64 is with no doubt the best N64 game ever. It even has Mario and Peach's own voice. No wonder it's a "Players choice, Best seller".

Yes, that's right, it is. I firmly believe that the N64 and the weird looking controller were both designed just so this game could be made. It was amazing the first time I saw it, with its huge environments and colorful characters, and its amazing now. The play control is perfect, the graphics are beautiful, and it has that Nintendo charm that is always so intangible but undeniably there. A must have for any N64 owner, and a reason to get an N64 for everyone else.
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the game was still new and popular, rumors persisted that Luigi and Wario were in the game. These rumors have long been proven false, although those characters did appear in the later port, Super Mario 64 DS (2004). But in 2020, deep in the code someone found Luigi. He is not used or accessible in the game, but he exists in the code.
- GoofsWhen the player talks to Yoshi on the roof of the castle in the courtyard, a spelling error can be seen in Yoshi's dialogue, with the first line of text reading "Mario!!! It that really you???" It should be "Mario!!! Is that really you???"
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits, Mario and the crew are in front of the castle waving goodbye to the viewers
- Alternate versionsRemade the Nintendo DS under the fitting title of "Super Mario 64 DS". Released as a launch title in 2004, this game is a complete retooling of "Super Mario 64" from the ground-up, adding 30 new Power Stars to the original game and featuring 4 playable characters (Mario, Yoshi, Luigi and Wario) each with unique abilities and gameplay attributes. Character movement is done with either the D-Pad or the DS's touch screen, and a "run button" is included to make up for the lack of analog control. In addition to a number of new stages being added, most of the pre-existing ones have been retooled in some way with layout changes or new mechanics, and a number of stage missions have been remixed or completely removed in some cases. Other changes include new items and stage obstacles, modified text/dialogue, different camera controls, a detailed map screen for each part of the game, a four-player competitive multiplayer mode, and a collection if minigames made to showcase the DS's touch screen and microphone capabilities.
