“Mario 64 changed the way we played platformer games forever and still holds as one of the best designed platformers to date. Many games try but no games ever come close to being half as polished as the Mario experience.

I recall despising platformer games simply because I played this one first. Until Jak and Daxter 2 I honestly thought this genre was best left in the capable hands of Mario.

Regardless! Mario is the king of his genre. Play all his games as they're all pretty fantastic with the exception of Mario is Missing... What a nightmare.”

“Very good game! My grandpa mistook it for Mario Kart 64 once and presented it to me for birthday... He had to bring it back to store and buy me the right game. Years later I played it at my former best friends home in vacation - And was so turned...”

Years later I played it at my former best friends home in vacation - And was so turned on by it that I collected all 120 Stars. Quite a show off, because my friend never had the patience to collect them all :)”

“The story, in a Koopa shell: Our hero, Mario, receives a note from Princess Toadstool inviting him to Toadstool Castle for a cake...but when he arrives, the castle is deserted and a nasty, disembodied voice tells him to get lost. Yes, Princess Toadstool has yet again gotten her royal keister in the sling, and the bad guy gang of Bowser, Boo, et al, have overrun (and apparently redecorated) Mushroom Castle - hanging a collection of magical, wobbly-membraned paintings/portals that portray scenes from the fantastic worlds to which they're connected. Via Mushroom Castle's enchanted murals, players will find vast alternate worlds: Snowing planes of slippery ice slopes; mist-shrouded lagoons containing sunken ships; archipelagos of airborne islands; haunted castles wrapped in perpetual midnight; and red, seething expanses of lava-flooded obstacles. These worlds are slowly filling with monsters, the Princess herself is missing, and only one man can set things right.”

“What made this game much better than DK 64 was that it was colorful, simple, and you couldn't really get lost. Definitely a very fun platformer.”
