Super Mario 64

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.

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.

I enjoyed this game. I did not own it, but it is one of those fun games you can play if you lobe it. The game had good graphics, interesting story, gun levels, and so on. The game does its best to make you have a memorable experience. Even reviews show love for this gem. The levels are creative in their own way and prove you will enjoy yourself against anyone you face. Mario is your man in this game, like always. The controls play put smoothly. The enemies you meet are wimps or require some dexterity. Have fun, you will not be disappointed. Super Mario 64 is jam packed fun and will make you have a lot of fun no matter how problematic things may get.

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".

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:

My overall for this jewel is 9.5/10.
