Overall - 9.8
Super Mario 64 is one of the greatest games I have ever played on the Nintendo 64. It is a very adventurous game and has great interests that people enjoy. I remember playing this when I was little and I would only play the first level of the game and I would have no idea what to do next (I was very young at that point). Now that I play it at my age, I seem to have gotten a whole lot better. I could beat the whole game and it was a lot of fun. This game takes more than a day to beat, trust me. Now when I play it a lot of times, I could now get every single star in the game. I have never done that before on Super Mario 64, but now I do and I entirely beaten and gotten all the stars FOUR times. That is how fun the game is. Graphics - 10 I should not say this cause I am not sure if it is true or not, but I am going to say it. I think that this is the first Mario game to be in 3D. The graphics are a bit bad, but it is understandable since it is an old game. The effects are very good and it is very awesome. Sound - 10 The music is awesome. It has a lot of different songs played in the background. Some are played more than once in different levels. My favorite is the one in Jolly Rogers Bay. It is so smooth and relaxing, kind of water-related if you ask me. The sound effects is what you expect in a Mario game. Mario actually makes sound effects when he does an action like jumping and grabbing. The sounding is very good. Addictiveness - 10 Like I said, I have beaten this game completely four times. That is how addicting it is. I would play it all the time and if I had a chance to play it at a game store (which is probably unlikely to happen), I would play it. This game just brings back a lot of memories and I seem to keep playing it on this very day. Story - 9 The story is pretty much what you would see in a Mario game. Peach invites Mario to her castle for a party or something and when he gets there, Lakitu (the flying camera dude) goes up to Mario and tells him that the princess is captured by Bowser. Now everyone seems to enjoy this story in most of the Mario games, but they seem to change it on this very day. I would not say entirely, but they would add something in the story nowadays. Anyways, Mario has to save Princess Peach from Bowser and what he has to do is collect stars in different worlds to be able to get to where Bowser is. Depth - 9 The game has a lot of features. For instance, you can move around in this game. Not a lot of old Mario games do that, but you can just walk around and do anything. Another thing is that there are items that Mario and gets like turn into metal, the ability to fly, and become invisible. Those are very useful in some levels. Also, there are items in the game like a floating heart that can fill your health, mushrooms in the game that are 1-Ups, and cannons for where you can shoot yourself anywhere you desire. I really like using the cannon cause it is fun to throw yourself everywhere. Another thing is when you start the game up, you will see Mario say "hello" and from there on, you can hit any button and you will see a cursor that you can use. You can use it on Mario to move his face. When you hold the L: or R button and you move his face around, it will stay like that. It is very fun and this was a very good idea of putting in the game. Makes the game even more fun. Difficulty - 4 For me, I think that the game is not that hard if you have skills in this game. From the start, if you are not good at any 3D adventure games, then it may be hard to for you (but not too hard). I would say close to half of how hard the game is. The levels play fair. Some can be difficulty, but that is just the way they are. And getting to Bowser is not that hard really. You just need about 70 stars? and I would be able to get that very easily, since I can get all the stars easily. I do not hack if that is what you are thinking. I have used hacks before, just for the fun of it, and it is cool to see what you can do. New! My Glitches There are a few glitches in the game that some people may know and that some people may not know. I happen to found 2. One is the endless stairs being an end. Where it happens is where you do not have enough stars to get to Bowser (third time) and he would say that it is an endless stairs. What I do to get to the top is that I position Mario where he is walking down the stairs and I would do the long jump backwards on the edge of the stairs repeatedly and then sooner or later Mario will go so fast that he will get to the end. My other one is going through the castle. To be able to do this, you have to get all the stars to be able to get on the roof. When I get on the roof and get the flying hat, I would try to walk up to the top of the castle and then fly around and there is this one area where you can fly into the castle and you will fall in the castle and be on the other side of the door. When you try to walk out of the door, you will be on the other side of the door in castle. There is no way out so you have to reset the game. Wrap Things Up... Super Mario 64 is a very adventurous and long game to play. I highly recommend trying this game if you have not already. It is a lot of fun and people would definitely like this game. They have made Sunshine, Galaxy, and Galaxy 2 and they are similar to this one so play it now or you will never see the excitement of this game.

I never had the chance to play Super Mario on the Nintendo 64 Console when I owned one. In fact, the only two games I did play while I owned that console was the 007 Goldeneye and the Star Wars Pod Racing Games. I recently tried playing the Super Mario 64 in the Retro Game Room but I was having various problems with it.... problems included freezing and sound stopping during gameplay. I'm sure it's a great game, but I'm not bummed about that game not working . As long as the Star Wars pod racing game works, which it does perfectly, I'm a happy gamer. I feel like I'm tapping into the force sometimes when I'm pulling off some great moves and race times in my podracer.

I loved this game so much that I didn't want to stop playing it. It was the only game next to Star Fox, that I played for a long time. |

I just bought the Nintendo D S Version of this, and so far it is pretty good. the maps and everything are the same, but you start off with a slow and fat yoshi... anyways... I actually plan on doing a review of this game too, some day. |

Although I like Super Mario 64, I just didn't get into it as much as I did games like Super Mario World or Super Mario 3. Great game, just not my favorite Mario Game.

I thought you reviewed this game before... oh well.
The game itself is awesome. Every 90's kid's dream was to play this game. Heck, its arguably the most popular Mario game in history! There was a planned sequel to it called Super Mario 128 for the Gamecube, but it was cancelled. Sad. This game is still epic even after you find all 120 stars and find a secret at the end. You play it over and over and over again. The game itself is awesome. Every 90's kid's dream was to play this game. Heck, its arguably the most popular Mario game in history!

While everyone has done a review for Super Mario 64 this review is a pretty good one.I got the DS version of the game and I came up with a theory.A picture of the cancelled Super Mario 64 2 for the DD has a level that looks similar to one them in the DS version.I think some of the worlds from that game made it into the DS version and maybe changed up a bit. |

Your reviews are naturally REALLY bad (primarily your review for Knuckles' Chaotix), but this one is... okay-ish, by your standards. You don't explain gameplay, so that's a huge thumbs-down and a confirmation that this review isn't good. Also, you can move around in a lot of games - namely the older Mario games. What makes this one special? Your grammar and word placement here feels sloppy, the overall dialogue used here is very simple-minded, and I'm actually baffled by how people praise your "reviews" - if I can even call them that. Also, give your review an actual title instead of just "Super Mario 64 Review". That would be a step in the right direction.
