One of THE best N64 games of all time. The transition from Super Mario World 2 to this was an insane accomplishment that founded the way for hundreds of games for years to come. The amount of levels and gameplay is unmatched to anything else at that time. 5/5.
This game is what got me into video games and as big of a Mario fan as I am today. I could never escape the bright colors and whimsical music as a "yah"-d "wah"-d and "yahoo"-d across every single level. Only reason I give 4 stars is because the controls are super janky. But it's one of the first 3D games ever, so I guess I can cut it some slack.
Was also the first game I played through on Mario 3D Allstars and 100%d it on the Switch!
Game changer for the Mario franchise. Yes the camera was wonky but no one cared because Mario was in 3D. Loved the secret levels and searching for stars. May have been one of the first games I truly 100% completed. Still playable a quarter century later. If playing on Switch it may take a bit to get used to controls. Really wish Nintendo would step their game up and get some more 64 controllers made for games like this.
What more can be said about such an iconic, groundbreaking game? Even if the camera and controls haven't aged gracefully, this game was perhaps the most influential one since the original Super Mario Bros itself. While the worlds of Sunshine and Odyssey are far more expansive, SM64 laid the blueprint for what 3D platforming could be in the 21st century. The replayability remains top notch and the fun factor as good as ever.
This is still the only Mario world I've ever beaten. Second game on the 64 I played after Mario kart. Favorite memory has to be dropping that penguin off the ledge, and it's mom freaking out
I've always heard that this is one of the greatest games of all time, but I've never played it until Super Mario 3D All-Stars came out for the Switch... now I get why people say it's one of the greatest. Definitely holds up after many years!
While future games in the series did it better, I have to give this 5 stars for bringing the series into 3D and creating so many new game mechanics. This is still a very replayable game in 2022. As a kid I loved hunting down all 120 stars, looking for the secret caps, and ultimately finding Yoshi on the roof of the castle was an awesome discovery.
The first 3D Mario is a game that should be experienced by all regardless of what Nintendo platform you decide to play it on. I honestly think that the DS version is what you should play if you have never played this game, but to each their own. The DS version offers more Stars to earn and Mini Games.
though this game was definitely interesting, N64 felt like tech demo turned into a console and it never shook that feeling for me, I was like 20 when this came out and was managing the video game section of Best Buy at the time, and from day one, I just felt like is this what 3D gaming is going to be? I'll stick with PS1, lol
This will always be my favorite Mario game. No game or system has ever made the dramatic jump in abilities like Mario did with the N64. 3D gaming, vibrant colors and stages, and an amazing soundtrack. Though I played NES and SNES games, Super Mario 64 was the true start of my love for gaming.
The year we got an N64 for Christmas is by far the most memorable for me. It was such an incredible leap from Super Nintendo to this, and my brother and I were just completely blown away by everything about it. When we fired up Mario 64 and Mario said, "It's a-me-a, Mario!" we just absolutely flipped out. Mario was Italian. Of course he is. How did we never see it before? And it's still a great game! To this day!
This was really my first Mario Experience. I play Super Mario Bros on the SNES, but never really got into it. A classic that so far has stood the test of time.
Some people have hated on the camera so much, and maybe it’s nostalgia, but that doesn’t bother me one bit! This game is incredible!! Easily top 2 Mario game of all time! It holds up amazingly and I play through again every year! One of the only games I 100% every time I play it!
I remember thinking that this was the coolest thing when it came out. When you could move the camera around to change angles I was just amazed. It’s the little things. But it was so different and fun. I have played through this many times. I loved playing through all the courses to find 100 coins to get that extra star. Chasing around that stupid rabbit to get his star. So many hidden things in this game. The ice slide will always be my nemesis.
Can’t say it’s the greatest Mario game of all time, but definitely one of the most groundbreaking. It set the stage for 3D games everywhere. Definitely challenging and worth the play through.
Every time my kids ask me for a game, I tell them about when Super Mario 64 came out and how we'd never seen anything like it. And how I had an NES but my mom couldn't afford to buy me an N64, so I begged her EVERY SINGLE DAY to take me to Toys-R-Us and let me play the demo. In retrospect, it makes me sound old and sad, but at the time, it was just fun and cool. Then my kids roll their eyes at me and temporarily stop begging me to spend money on apps.
This game comes up as a nexus point in Nintendo's history and I love reading an hearing about its development. Not so simple to create this [for Nintendo] unheard of 3D experience. Out of all of that a perfect game that opened and defined a console generation for the company. Still a blast, still holds up.
My now 9 YO has played through this one twice as well.
