This industry milestone game lets gamers play at their own pace, encouraging them to explore new nooks and crannies of its many levels with a Zen-like approach where the journey is as important as the goal. Other N64 games such as Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64 all owe much of their inspiration to this gem of a game. A showcase for the system's graphics and processing speed capabilities, Super Mario 64 is a must-have for any N64 owner. --Jeff Young Pros: - Huge world makes for enduring game experience
- Plenty of room for replay
- State-of-the-art graphics for its time
- Imaginative levels keep you guessing, and helpful characters act as an in-game tutorial
Cons: - First-generation game doesn't feature as much texture or detail in graphics

 Mario 64 the first and one of the best games on the N64 November 22, 1999
73 out of 83 found this review helpful
Mario 64 is a really fun game, with enough challenge that you should be satisfied with what you have played once you've finished it. Once you have recovered all 120 power stars from the 15 different levels there's not much more you can do. It took me until Christmas until sometime in February to get all of the stars and rescue the princess. The graphics are good considering it was the first game that the Nintendo 64 ever came out with (closely followed by Pilotwings 64, and Star Wars Shadows of the Empire.) Mario has at least 15 different moves that you can use to Find your way through Peach's castle. Like I said before it's a great game,with lots of fun. I would byej it if I didn't have it.

Super Mario 64 is a dazzling game full of enjoyment. Princess Peach invites Mario over for some cake one day but her castle is overthrown by the Koopa King Bowser. Mario must save the Pricess by collecting stars to defeat Bowser who has made paintings which are really hidden worlds all over the castle. Mario encounters vast worlds hidden with stars. Mario must return the stars to open new doors that lead to more portraits that are full of friends and foes to meet. The worlds are battlefields, a snowy mountain, a foggy bay, a sky castle, haunted houses, lava filled seas, islands, a tall mountain, Bowser's secret worlds and lots more! The gameplay is easy to learn. Mario has a bunch of new moves to show off with a few powers like a flying wing cap. The graphics are alright and the design is good. 3D worlds make it come to life. The bosses and challenges are tough but fun. This game is fun for the whole family. This is a really great adventure game. I recommad it to everyone. I also recommad the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of Time. If you like racing games get Mario Kart 64.
The game that revolutionized 3D adventures September 8, 2000

"Super Mario 64" was the first game that I had when I first bought a Nintendo 64. Now I have about 10 games for the system and I still play this one more than just about any of the others, it's that good. When I first played "Super Mario 64," it was hard to believe how good the graphics and gameplay were. It revolutionized 3D platformers more than any game probably ever will. Yeah, now there are other great 3D adventure games, but none of them have been a model for the genre like this one was. "Super Mario 64" has some of the best 3D graphics, great control, sound, and it's a lot of fun. After you beat the game, it still won't get old because you can go back to all the worlds and try to get all 120 stars. After you play "Super Mario 64," you'll see why everybody was in awe over its 3D worlds and its revolutionary gameplay. I recommend anybody who has a Nintendo 64 to get this game. It's as close to flawless as any game has ever been. Sometimes the camera angles can get a little frustrating, but they don't even take anything away from this game.
A Mario Masterpiece! December 28, 1999

This game is vital to all Mario-lovers. The graphics are excellent and the game features all the characters except Luigi. It is educational and fun for kids age 4 and up, and also becomes challenging and suitable for older people. There are 15 main courses, each different and fun to explore. I would recommend a guide book be used with this game. Prima puts out a detailed one, yet it leaves some things for you to discover on your own. This is one of the best Nintendo 64 games ever!
Maybe the greatest game of all time May 17, 2000

I've been playing many a game since the days of the BBC Micro and Spectrum over the last 15 years or so. Theres just something about Mario that makes it so special. From the 3 classics on the NES to one of the greatest SNES games - Mario World. Now we have the next platformer in the series and I have to say I was hooked from day one. This game has been designed so well. The levels are both varied and have been tested extensively. Someone has sat down and said I want to make this the best level in the game each time. The Nintendo Game writers may not have a lot of code to work with but their level design, origniality and playbility is superb. They really care about each and every level and as with the other Mario games, it doesn;t stop when you reach the last level. Like the other Mario games there are hidden levels and part of the challange is to find them. The castle is a great setting for the game with levels in the desert, snow, underwater and they are all in 3D! I was a bit cautious over whether the 3D would work with Mario but great controls and camera angles make it an even better platform experience. Levels can be found by gaining more keys etc but the most addictive part is finding all the coins to open up the really hidden levels. You wont stop til you find EVERY single coin and EVERY single level. You even get an extra treat when they are all found! There are cute characters, extra challenges, Mario has extra powers like High Flying, Metal Mode and you can make use of the scenery. The tutorials as you go on the early levels are also good so you wont be continuly looking at the manual. I love this game and when someone told me I wouldn't stop til I completed it they weren't wrong! So go play it!
