Description
"Super Mario 64" is a timeless classic in the world of video games, originally released by Nintendo in 1996 for the Nintendo 64 console. This groundbreaking title revolutionized 3D platform gaming and set a new standard for the genre. In "Super Mario 64," players assume the role of the beloved Italian plumber, Mario, as he embarks on a captivating adventure to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the nefarious Bowser.

The game is renowned for its innovative and immersive open-world design, which was a departure from the linear side-scrolling format of previous Mario games. Instead, players explore Princess Peach's magical castle and its numerous whimsical paintings, each serving as a portal to different worlds and levels. These diverse landscapes include lush green meadows, fiery volcanoes, underwater depths, and haunted mansions, each with its unique challenges and enemies.

Mario possesses a versatile set of moves and abilities, such as jumping, punching, and ground-pounding, making the game a joy to control. The introduction of the analog stick on the Nintendo 64 controller allowed for precise and fluid movement, setting a new benchmark for 3D platformers. Moreover, Mario can don various power-up suits, such as the Wing Cap and Metal Cap, which grant him extraordinary abilities and open up new gameplay possibilities.

The game's objective is to collect Power Stars scattered throughout the different levels by completing various tasks, solving puzzles, and defeating Bowser's minions. As players gather more Power Stars, they unlock new areas of the castle and progress towards confronting the mighty Bowser in epic boss battles.

"Super Mario 64" is celebrated not only for its groundbreaking gameplay but also for its charming and colorful graphics, catchy music, and memorable characters. It remains a nostalgic favorite for gamers of all ages and is often cited as one of the greatest video games ever made, leaving an indelible mark on the industry and continuing to captivate players through generations. It is a true masterpiece that epitomizes the enduring appeal of the Mario franchise.

This was Mario's first 3D adventure and it's one of the best Mario games ever. If you have not played this you are crazy! If you have not played this go buy it right now. The game really does not have a great story but Mario never has a giant story. The game play is the best part. Lots of games have tryed to be as good as this one was at 3D platforming but non of them succeeded. The music is good but I don't love it as much as some other sound tracks. Bottom line if you don't have this game buy it now.



Mario reinvents a genre and........succeeds! by Mario Fan 21 May 2007
Shigeru Miyamoto had a behemoth task with this game, because he had to make a Super Mario game, not just an ordinary game, making a Super Mario game means starting a revolution, like he did with Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World. And ok, Super Mario 64 is not nearly as good as the previous Mario games, but is worthy of the Super Mario saga, and an instant classic.

Story:
You are not going to believe it, but it involves a princess, a big dinosaur who likes to kidnap people, and a fat yet very skilled Italian plumber, if we mix everything we get Super Mario 64’s plot (as well as any other Super Mario game excepting for the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2).
