Super Mario 64...this game brings back memories of my childhood. It was one of my first games,and not only that,it was an awesome game. Running through the fields,stomping goombas and getting stars...and whenever i got one of those,Mario would say : Here We Go!
I'm going to inevitably rate this game high. But,let's start slowly.

Super Mario 64 is a 3D Platformer in which you must run,jump,and punch/kick your way through worlds,collecting stars and coins. The story is nothing new,but hey,if it's not broken,then don't fix it. Peach has invited Mario to her castle so that they can eat the delicious cake that Peach has made. (By the way,the cake is not a lie.). However,when you arrive there,Peach is nowhere to be found. You soon find out that Bowser's minion's have captured Peach,and using the stars power,they've created worlds inside paintings. Your job is to enter those paintings,retrieve those stars,and restore the star power to the castle.

By collecting those stars,you will unlock new worlds to explore. There are 120 stars,and i should tell you,this game was made for people who like to complete games 100%. It is not ridiculously hard to obtain the 120 stars,but it will take time to do so. Anyway,you will need only 70 of those in order to access the final world. The castle acts as a lobby,which you can traverse easily,without any kind of danger. There are three power-ups in this game which will give you even more access to more places.

The Wing Cap allows you to fly freely through worlds,the Metal Cap turns you into metal,which allows you to walk underwater,and the Invisible Cap allows you to pass through certain walls. There are also 15 hidden stars that cannot be acquired by normal means. If you are a decent player,you will be able to find all of those 15 hidden stars rather easily. Also,you can execute different jumps by using a combination of directionals,and then jumping.

If you jump three times in a row,you will execute the triple jump.
If you crouch,them jump,you will execute the back somersault.
If you run,then crouch,then jump,you will execute the long jump.
You can also execute a variety of attacks,such as the diving attack,and the sliding kick. You will need all your moves in order to acquire all the 120 stars.

If you've never played Super Mario 64,then play it now. This game is so good,if it was my only game ever,i would be happy enough. When you have Super Mario 64,you don't need other games. Super Mario 64 IS the absolute game. You feel so happy,so nostalgic,it is somenthing that just cannot be put into words. So just play it. You will see what i mean.

this game brings back so many memories its like yesterday I was defeating bowser by throwing him off the stage

Ah, this classic game, I'v owned 2 cartridges of Super Mario 64 in my life. This was the best game ever and I'v beaten it hundreds of times, collecting coins, stars, and seeing that one mysterious bunny in the basement. Mmm, glad I still have one of the games on me and my Nintendo 64! =D

Super Mario 64 is really good.Somenthing attracts-me to play it,and once i get my hands on the controller,i just can't leave.By the way,you don't defeat Bowser by throwing him off-stage.You might have to play some Super Mario 64 in order to see what i mean.

I used to have it back when I was little.now a days I still have the game and my N64,but I just don't use it that much now.
