Mario Forever

Even though this game is almost 4 years old-it is still one of the best games that the N64 has to offer. Why? Well dear reader I will tell you why. SUPER MARIO 64 is a gaming revolution, it was the game that everyone had to have. It took Mario into a whole new atmosphere. The world that is inside Princess Peach's(aka Princess Toadstool) castle is immense and highly imaginative. Although the graphics may seem a little bit dated(it was a launch game remember that) it is still a sight to see. As far as play control goes, it is a bit difficult to get the hang of moving Mario around, but once you get used to it then controlling Mario is a breeze. In fact it is some of the best playcontrol that a game has to offer. The Super Mario 64 storyline is familiar to Mario fans but at the same time a touch refreshing. Yes Peach is captured but she is being held prisnor in her own castle(in a picture in fact), and one of the funnest parts of the game is hanging out outside. One of my problems is that Luigi is not in the game, in fact no mention of him is made either. Nintendo should have left the Mario Party franchise alone and focused on creating a Super Mario 64 2, but alas they didn't. So if you own a Nintendo 64 and don't have this title, or are thinking of buying a N64, then get Super Mario 64 because it is by far a true gaming experience.

One of the first, one of the best

Super Mario 64 was the first game to be available for the N64. I remember the first time it came out, how it's graphics, music and gameplay really amazed me. Sadly, very few games came after it to give much competition. To this day, it still remains one of the best N64 games out there. The sheer scope of the game is enough to pick it up. It's made up of 20+ levels that can be played in a semi-non linear order. The graphics are bright and clear, and the animations are creative for each character. Gameplay is pretty deep, but extremely intuitive and becomes second nature after playing for a short time. The real plus in this game is the music, some of the most catchiest to be written for a game to date. Pick this one up for both its historical value and for the fact that its a great game.

this game is cool!!!

I think "Super Mario 64" is one of the best N64 games ever released. I don't actually have it, but one of my friends has it and it is loads of fun. There are lots of interesting levels, like the underwater one where there are giant spiders. I also liked going up the stairs and through a door, and then through a window, and you can slide down this long red thing. At the bottom there is a box that you punch and something comes out of it. There are different pictures you jump into to enter different worlds. There is one with lava, one in the sky, one in the water, one in a cave, and many more. On one level, you can go into a cannon and shoot yourself out high into the sky. It is fun to stomp on those little mushroom dudes. The graphics are fairly good. Have fun playing!

Super Mario 64 was one of the first games for the Nintendo 64 and to this day is one of the best. Mario 64 is the be-all and end-all of 3-d platforming. Mario has 120 stars to collect in many different worlds. Mario swims, flies, jumps, runs and crawls. This game is immense fun, and definitively replayable. A masterpeice by Shigeru Miyamoto.

Great Classic Game...although..

This is a great classic game that basically revolutionized Nintendo 64 but there is only one problem. It is WAY too easy to beat. But I guess since it's an old game I can see why.

Basically the "mission" is to recover all the 120 stars and save the Princess from the evil "Bowser." It's really easy and you can beat the game in about a month. Even though I have plenty of Nintendo games, I still go back to this game once in awhile because it's a classic favorite. Many current Nintendo games can't compete against it. If only this game was a bit more challenging!! I think all new Nintendo 64 buyers should get this as there first game because you can explore alot with controls and skills that'll help you out in more challenging games.

Any fans of Mario, or Nintendo genre would like this game. As far as kids, there isn't much violence in this game. No blood, or gorey actions. The price is pretty ok, and the game's plot is pretty ok. There are many courses and places to explore so if you are a slow player it'll take some time. After you complete the game, you'll still be going back to it. Seeing that my brothers and I already beat it over 10 times, we're finally getting tired of it!

one word--classic

When this came out, I remember spending most of my time for a week trying to beat the game. I did, I loved it, and I sold it. I'm now kicking myself for ever getting rid of it--even though there is no replay value in that the story and game stays the same, you always want to return to the classics at some point. Especially if they rock like this one does.

One Of The Greatest Games Ever Made

When I first saw Super Mario 64 in 1996 I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. While 10 years have passed, I still consider this game of the finest pieces of entertainment I have ever seen. The kinds of things that the development team pulled off in the mid 90s set the stage for all future video game development and it was, is and always will be groundbreaking.

An achievement that should not be ignored and is still as much fun today as it was a decade (DECADE?!!?) ago.

***** HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION

One of my Favorite Mario Games!!

i played this game when i was 5, around the time it first came out! I loved it! Mario, in 3-D, triple jumps, long jump, backwards jumps, flying!, stomping goomba's in 3-D!, the classic peach gets kidnapped my Bowser, Mario saving her plot, power stars, 120 of them ;]!, many many levels of fun, great music that becomes an instant classic, etc... The list could go on about how good this game is, and all the features!

The only thing i think is a bad part of the game is the control, switching directions from right to left, to forwards, and backwards, is something s bother!

overall i love this game to death!! but it still can't beat Super Mario Bros. 2! or Super Mario Advance.
but anyways, it is stil owrth every penney of the price.

If you dont have it, get it now.

I love this game like a family member. when i got it, I was 5 years old and was very scared of things such as the giant eel in jolly roger bay, or the sea monster in hazy maze cave. I also had a huge tv, to add to the scary effect. there fore, I stopped playing it for about 8 years. My maturing had helped me understand the tasks of the game better and I collected all 120 stars. The task of just getting to the tower of the castle is easy, but getting all 120 stars is hard. Nowadays most kids want the newer systems like Xbox 360 and PSP, but once they grow a bit older, they might realize how much of a classic this game and the N64 was. plus, you can get em pretty cheap now. I just bought another one for 18.00$.

My only problem is that after the game is completely beaten, theres nothing more to do. there are some rumors about a 121st star, but i couldnt find it.

Very entertaining, and also a bit chalenging.

I would highly recommend this game to any N64-er. It's challenging enough to keep you from getting bored, and it's also very entertaining. Granted, it does get a little too challenging at times. It may prove difficult to achieve all 120(?) stars. But a little hint from any free online guide will quickly solve any snags you run into. I do not advice purchasing this item from this venue; it's a tad bit expensive. You can go to any game exchange store, and buy almost any N64 game for usually $10 or less. But I do recommend this game!
