Super Mario 64 had been one of the first games that I have played in the Retro Game Room and I really enjoyed the game and its components. The game is fun, it's not that challenging if you know what you are doing and it's very addicting.

For graphics, I give the game a 9 because it's a step up from the standard side scrolling Mario game and offers a brand new perspective on the area by letting you view the game basically in a 360 view. The graphics themselves as color and detail are also remarkable for a game that was released when it was. The game came out in 1996 and I think that just a few other games from that year might have had better graphics.

Now for the sound. The games music was composed by Koji Kondo, who composed the music for the original Super Marios Bros game and had been working with various Mario games ever since 1985 as well as all of the Zelda games. The music that this man makes for both franchises are considered to be some of Nintendo’s best songs and are considered to be classics all over. This means that the music is great and will also receive a 9 out of 10.

The game is addicting because there are so many different things to do, some of which were considered to be revolutionary to the series and gamers could spend hour after hour trying to beat the game and not get bored. As for Addictiveness, the game deserves to get an 8 out of 10.

As for the story, it’s virtually the same as any other Mario game. The games concept revolves around Bowser capturing Peach as always, but this time, there are a few tweaks that slightly improve the story. Overall, the story of the game is very repetitive and is largely based on previous games, but the Mario series had became famous just because of that one plotline, so if it were really anything else, it wouldn’t feel much like a Mario game. Because of this, I give the story a 9 out of 10.

Next is the depth of the game. The game only offers a few levels, but each level offers a ton of various courses that are both challenging and entertaining. Though just a few levels and areas, these courses and a lot of depth to the overall feel of the game and deserves an 8 out of 10.

Lastly, we are going to go over the difficulty of the game. For this, I am going to give a 5 out of 10. The game is easy and fun, but it may take a few tries to get through each course because some of them might be a bit puzzling when you first go through them.

In my opinion, I would say this game could probably be one of the 10 best Mario games to ever be released and my overall grade for this game will be a 9.1. I recommend this game to anybody who is a fan of Mario and I assure you will enjoy it. The only thing I did not enjoy about the game was the difficulty in my own view because I gave up easily after finding a tough challenge, but I am not going to take my own troubles into account since it's just my own views of the game because other than that, the game is amazing.
