Truly changed gaming as we know it
Date of Review: Jan 16, 2000
SuperMario 64 was the very first game for Nintendo64, and definately the BEST!!!!!! The game takes a very long time to beat, needs you to master skills, and figure out puzzles. It is so awesome!
Here's the plot synopsis: You are mario. You have to travel to lots and lots of different courses, defeating enemies and solving puzzles to find stars. when you find a certain amount of stars, you are allowed to go through doors that lead to more courses. In the end, you fight againts bowser. The game can also be played another way. If you find all 120 stars in the whole game, a cannon outside the castle (where all the courses are) opens up and launches you to the roof, where you find yoshi, who gives you 100 extra lives. You are also able to do a special new triple jump. Fuuuunky!
The only cons are that, if you dont buy one of those nifty cheat books, finding stars can be really difficult. But thats good if you're looking for a challenging game that doent have gore and violence and killing. All in all, this is a really great game and is a MUST HAVE for all nintendo64 owners.
