Super Mario 64

As the first true 3D platform game, the game does everything right. Super Mario 64 is a masterpiece in the truest sense of the word.

This is definitely a game no game collection should be without...Seriously!

I haven't met anybody who hasn't wasted at least half an hour just running around outside the castle, sliding, jumping, stomping, diving, swimming... There are no enemies here and there's really nothing to do, but boy is it fun!

A game that rewards the curious, the original, and in some cases the bludgeoningly stubborn and tenacious.

The five years it took to write have been well used and it is easily in contention for being one of the best games of the decade.

It was the first game on the system, and regretfully, it was also the only great game for the system that could stand the test of time.

The distribution of power stars in the levels is horrendous. I think 7 stars in one level is more than enough, don't you think? I understand that there are memory constraints, but there either could have been less stars overall, or 1 (maybe 2) more level(s). Definately a problem.

Absolute MASTERPIECE. Way ahead of its time. I was mindblown by it when I first saw if in a window of a toy shop. I was even more mindblow when I actually played. I recently played it more and despite the graphics I am still so shocked by it, the music is great but also the freedom and possibilities. I am not joking, there are still modern games not giving as much freedom: it was 1996 and Mario could jump, backflip, jump off walls, long jump, swim, and all sort of things in such a natural way. Once used to the controls moving becomes second nature. 11/10

still a fun platformer to this day, like the movement of Mario, but some level get ridiculous, makes you wanna skip them

This game does have iconic levels like Bomb omb Battlefield and Whomps Fortress but that controls and camera controls aren't good and I get it, it's the first Mario 3D game but still. I would highly recommend people are in the modern generation to play the rom hacks and PC ports of this game (in my opinion).

The controls are just trash and the story is bad? Like seriously and the lvl are also mid this game is too overglaze (it should be a 3/10)

weird movement. insanely weird movement. im very bald at platformers i guess. idk why people love this game. there's really no good movement. unlike mario kart double dash for gamecube.
