Super Mario 64 review - Nintendo 64




Retrospective comments
![]() |
Mario's first foray into the world of 3D is regarded by many as the greatest videogame of all time, and with good reason. It ranks as the first really convincing use of a 3D world in a platform title, it introduced the concept of analogue control to a generation of games players and set the template for hundreds of imitators. Just finishing the game won't take you too long but as with most Mario games that's not really the point - it will take you weeks (and quite possibly months) to discover all the secrets contained within this game. We're not 100% convinced it's the 'best game ever' but it is undoubtedly one of the best games available on the N64. |

Didn't like it I'm afraid. hard to say why really, maybe I was starting to outgrow games at the time, maybe it felt a bit slow and bothersome to me compared to previous Mario games, maybe it was just total dross. Whatever the reason it weren't my cup of cha.

Mario steps into a whole new dimension in this unforgettable launch title of the Nintendo 64. Unravel the secrets of Peach's castle, find all 120 stars and defeat Bowser in this cult classic that set the rules for all 3D action games.
