When "Super Mario 64" was released ten years ago, it was instantly the best video game ever created. Simply put, playing this game was a magical, imagination/mind-opening experience; almost a mystical one, in fact. This euphoric feeling and sense of awe that we felt the first time we played this game would never again be matched, at least up until this stage in the video game realm. What made it so amazing was the fact that Mario, who had only existed in 3D in our minds as kids, had now become like the cartoon character we watched on the "Super Mario Brothers" cartoon. The days of Nintendo's rule were the great ones in video games, and it's a shame that kids nowadays won't get to grow up with Mario like us generation x-ers. Every Mario game, for me, was truly magical, but Super Mario 64 was truly revelatory. I spent years of my life playing this game (literally), and still play it more today than another other game available, for any other system. Unfortunately, this was one of the few true masterpieces for the Nintendo 64, and Sony took over with the PlayStation. For me, however, Nintendo and Mario are what video games are all about, and Super Mario 64 was the pinnacle of the entire industry.

The walk down memory lane...sometimes it can be painful...

Indeed it can. I know all of you new-generation gamers probably threw this one in the trash the day you got your GameBoy Advance, but what you don't know is that you have thrown away a masterpiece. I was recently walking down the lane when I looked inside someone's trash. There it was; Super Mario 64 complete with instruction booklet and a Nintendo 64. Excited for my life, I jumped into the trash can and grabbed it immediately. I now have 2 Nintendo 64s and 2 Mario 64s. I am proud to say I've saved another masterpiece from an eternal life in the dumpster.

Super Mario 64's music is cheerful and peppy. It really suits this game well, actually. The opening tune usually brings hardcore old-skool gamers to tears as they think about all of the present games. I'm so glad that Mario hasn't changed to the 'nasty' side of the gaming stick. Nintendo could've done that to boost their sales, but they didn't. They stuck with it. Nintendo, you rock.

Help me find

First let me say that I enjoy the game super mario 64 very much. I can't beleave that the game has so many worlds to enter and each one more enjoyable than the one before. I do have a problem with one level on the lower floor and its when you go for (wings to the sky) star. does that have something to do with shooting yourself through the rings in the sky or is there more to it. Please can you help... One more thing, does the time on the clock in the uper tower have much to do with the way the level is played. thank you

Super Mario 64 is SUPERB!

The first game I ever got, and probably my favorite. For it's time, Mario was the cutting edge of technology in gaming, and the graphics outshine even some of today's titles. The storyline is impeccable. The game is not the easiest to beat though. I still haven't beaten it. I got to 116 stars, then got a GameCube. So many secret places, and many fun things to do, like riding koopa shells or racing the giant penguin. Simply incredible. If you want to experience Mario at his best, PLAY THIS GAME.

best game ever? probably

for casual and hardcore gamers alike this is probably the greatest game ever created. that title does not come lightly to someone like myself who owns 6 consoles and 2 computers and has played games on other platforms as well over the last 15 years (for some reference, other games that would rank near the top would be metroid, the marathon series of games on the macintosh, the SNES final fantasy games, the SNES zelda game and the new majora's mask, mario 2, 3, world, world 2, etc). there is really no 3d platformer type game even in the same leauge with this one as far as artistry of level design and play control in particular. spyro the dragon on the psx and banjo kazooie on the n64 come closest (with honorable mentions for rayman 2 and rocket: robot on wheels), but they have none of the variety of levels and objectives nor perfection of play control offered here (perfect play control is so much more than a technical matter of tightness and response, there is just no game with such a perfect variety of different moves as this one, moves that can all be used at the start of the game and yet take weeks if not months to master). everyone who has ever enjoyed playing a videogame should own this.

look at all these stars 9 one of da best games ever

This game is coooooollll! Me Abigail has this game and I have 120 stars. They were soo easy to find. I do not know how I became an expert at this. For your information, I am an expert in all of my video games. I must feel like the luckiest girl in the world. But I'll give you a little info:

Title: Rainbow ride/ Star#2

You'll have to take another magic carpet ride through low-flying areial obstacles to reach the cloud house. The blue blocks that float in your way are bigger on this carpet ride and you'll have to jump on them quickly before the carpet moves out from under your feet. The Magic Carpet will take you through the cloud house twice. On both trips, whatch out for the jet of fire that comes out from the fireplace! I'ts best to stay to the rear of the carpet until the fire is out, then go to theleading ledge of the carpet. If you get knocked off the carpet, it's a log trip back to a spot where you can remount it.( there's a warp to the top of the maze on the Cloud House Balcony.)
