Hey, hey, hey guys! Today i'll write this review to show those who want to know what Super Mario 64 is. So. Here i go.
Super Mario 64 is probably Mario's first 3D game, where Mario needs to save Peach from Bowser through 15 course and retrieve the power stars back. And they can be everywhere: On the top of a mountain, in a penguin mother's pocket or even in a wall... They are there. The main goal is to collect the 120 power stars, but you only need 70 to finish the story. And with story, i mean beating up Bowser in his Sky World and save the princess! *enthusiastic* *ahem*
Another fun thing to know and notice is the amount of hacks. Yes, because there are an insanely amount of downloadable and playable hacks on the internet. But why? Super Mario 64 can be edited easily, and now even more easier with a certain program. This program is the source of most hacks, but some hacks are probably coded all over again. Well, the graphics are the same, right?
And various of characters appear and re-appear in this game too. Like Toad, Yoshi, King Bob-Omb, Wiggler, the overall enemies, and what about new enemies like Chuckya, that stalking, purple, bob-omb looking hurl-machine? Those characters all (re-)appear in this fantastic game. And most YouTubers who make machinima's from this use, you guessed it, this game.

Graphics:
A 9 for the graphics, as it wasn't the top quality back then. But for the N64, it looks fan-tas-tic. Compared to Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64 was a whole new level for Nintendo. (Get it? Level? As in making them?) And to top the graphics up: Some characters even blink. And i bet not every game before Super Mario 64 had characters with blinking eyes.
------------------------------------------------------
Sound:
The music is great, so it deserves a 9 as well. Mostly i'm very severe in this part, and so am i now. This music has its ups and downs, mostly ups. Think about the course of Bob-omb Battlefield! Or Dire, Dire Docks! Or Bowser's Road in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and this game which match!
------------------------------------------------------
Addictiveness:
A 10. No comment.
Seriously, though... as the descr
iption says it to me, you will definitely play this game again once you got used to it. The gameplay is so fun and new looking. Well, new looking in 1996. But it's still the best N64 game.
------------------------------------------------------
Story:
A 7, because there is one odd thing about the story: You see no intro showing Peach is kidnapped, only Peach's letter to Mario where she says she baked a cake for him. Then Lakitu flies in with a camera and flies to the start of your role. And then comes Mario and he must go to the castle. Peach is kidnapped. Now remains these questions: How did Bowser kidnap Peach? Was Mario a victim or not? (probably not) And from when was that letter? These questions can't be answered by me.
------------------------------------------------------
Depth:
15 courses, each containing 6 main stars and one if you collect 100 coins. Making it 7 in 15 courses, so that's 105 stars. Plus 15 bonus stars... You get the point, right? It takes a while to complete the entire game, until the 120th star. I rated this a 9 for that reason and you get challenges each time you go for a star. Still, it makes this a great game.
------------------------------------------------------
Difficulty:
That 6 was hard to give: It goes from easy to hard to i made a 6 from that. The first course, Bob-omb Battlefield, is easy. You're only in a war between bombs. Nothing important. But what surely is important: Rainbow Road is the last course and the first star is not very easy and nice to you. So there's that.
------------------------------------------------------
Overall:
This fantastic game deserves a 9.9, basically because it is fantastic. The only thing is the story, but that's not a big deal. Still, it doesn't make my rating a 10. Anyway, i highly recommend playing this game! It can be found in the Retro Game Room!
This was my review! Any questions about it or the game itself can be left here!
