Nintendo, Nintendo, Nintendo... what else can I say? You've already made your heavenly contribution with the NES and SNES. (Text me when you get to Valhalla, Miyamoto.) But no. You didn't stop there. With the N64, you REVOLUTIONIZED gaming... again! The first real 3D gaming console, the N64 allowed new ideas to flourish, new concepts to be created, there were no limits! Super Mario 64 Proved this. So, why is this game awesome? Let's find out!

Graphics: 9. Being a launch title for the N64, this game had to show what the console could do. And it did. Oh it did. At the time, no one ever imagined graphics looking like this. It amazed people all across the world. But, these days, N64 graphics aren't the best in the world. Things have changed. Game graphics are better. So the graphics get a 9.

Sound: 7. Again, revolutionary! The sound was absolutely beautiful... at the time. In 2013, the sound is mediocre. I mean, some of the songs actually repeat for levels! (Bob-omb Valley, Thwomp's Fortress, and Tiny-Huge Island are examples of this.) Plus, you hear the same sounds over and over again. But, I digress. The sound gets a 7.

Addictiveness: 10. Need I say more? The game is diverse, and I have yet to fully complete the game... that is, get all 120 stars. Yes, 120 stars. So you'll be coming back to this game a lot. But wait, there's more! There are hidden stars and levels in the GOOD hubworld, Peach's Castle. So addictiveness gets a 10.

Story: 2. It's the basic Mario story. Bowser Kidnaps Peach and seals away 120 power stars within the walls of the castle. Next!

Depth: 10. 120 stars. 120 STARS! You will not beat this game in 1 sitting. CASE. CLOSED!

Difficulty: 6. This game is moderately challenging, so it will take a little while to be able to collect 80 stars to fight Ultimate Bowser. But, there are glitches so you can bypass the challenges, along with the endless stairs, so the difficulty gets a 6.

Overall: 10. Please, please. If you're reading this, go out and play this game. NOW! You won't be disappointed.
