    One of the best games of all time. Excellent stages, a great ost, some of the best gameplay i've witnessed in a game and many other things. You might say that the graphics are not the best but i don't care that the graphics aren't 8K 120 fps.

    The absolute benchmark for not only 3d platformers, but 3d games in general. The movement is so good that you could have fun in an empty room, but it also helps that the levels are for the most part good. There's a variety of glitches that improve the gameplay, by adding extra spice to speedruns. Also, there is an extensive modding community. There is really no valid criticism for this game.

    This is hands down the best of the best of 3D platformers. In my list of best game of all time, this one comes at a close #2, but #1 would have to go to Super Mario Bros. 3. Nevertheless, Super Mario 64 is a game every single person living and breathing on this planet should play, and this is no over exaggeration. Literally all this game is shining

    with charm and adventure and Mario himself is no different. It would have been easy to do the awful 'down is up, up is down' style of movement (I'm looking at you, Star Fox on the SNES) but no, instead Miyamoto made one of the most soothing controls in videogame history, and although it's aged well... FINE (I'm such a fanboy...), it's still so fun to just kill the baby penguin by dropping him off the cliff, throw Bowser into a spiky ball and give him paranoia for the rest of his sad life and to BLJ into Princess Peach's great grandfather's clock. Who knew this game could be so dark?    … Expand

    I think this game has aged very well. It's still fun to this day. The camera is 100% the worst part about it. It can be jank af sometimes, but this game is just so iconic. The levels are great, jumping through paintings is a cool idea, the music is good, it's just an amazing platformer game. Do wish the Bowser fights were a bit more challenging though, guess they wanted to test the N64 controller

    This game is indeed great, but to be honest the controls make the game really unfun to play, wall jumping is stupidly painful and some stars are placed in stupid ways. This game definitely didn't age well at all... But ofc it has a banger soundtrack and Bob-Omb Battlefield is still a fantastic level. The Bowser fights in this game are cringe tho

    It is old, it is rough, Mario is weird to control if you aren't used to it, I think level design could have been better with some changes.

    The distribution of power stars in the levels is horrendous. I think 7 stars in one level is more than enough, don't you think? I understand that there are memory constraints, but there either could have been less stars overall, or 1 (maybe 2) more level(s). Definately a problem.
