Summary: Super Mario 64
Comment: Super Mario 64 is a game I've wanted to play for ages. I finally decided to purchase it and I was not disappointed. In my opinion Super Mario 64 is the best in the Mario series and one of the best games ever. This game was a breakthrough in 3Dplatformers and it's easy to see why. The 3D is great for its time and the style is incredible.
The game is addictive as well. I would play for hours and hours and wouldn't want to stop, and Super Mario 64 does not get tiresome after you beat it for the first time.
The plot is simple, Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach and Mario must save her. But the plot's not important in a video game. The game play is what matters.
The game is fast paced and you always have new areas to unlock. Despite not having any other areas to go to outside of Princess Peach's castle there are tons of areas inside. Getting to new areas is simple. You need a certain amount of stars to unlock doors, and unlock enough doors to unlock boss doors. Overall, there are 120 stars in the entire game and I would recommend a guide because of how challenging it is.
When battling Bowser in this game, I was disappointed. He's so easy. When I beat him the first time I was surprised how easy he was. It was more difficult getting to Bowser than it was battling him. But all three incredible boss stages that were before the battles are so much fun it makes up for it.
There are also hidden items, characters and power ups for Mario to find.
Now there are a few problems like any other game that I think are quite frustrating. Mario's controls sometimes are a little tough. His wall jumps have to be so precise and if you mess up you have to do it again and again, and the camera sometimes can be tough to use in certain areas. But, despite these problems it's still a great game.
This game is a must own for Mario fans. While yet you must already know this since I'm writing this review thirteen years later. : )
Super Mario 64 will always be known as one of the best 3Dplatformers in video game history.

Summary: What a Leap Mario's First Jump Was into 3-D Gaming!
Comment: Super Mario 64 remains to this day a truly incredible video game that I absolutely love to play through every now and again. The reason that I still love to play from start to finish a game that I have beaten several times since I received it as a Christmas gift from 1996 is because for one, the controls are very responsive and tight, so when I am running across green fields or swimming underwater or jumping from pole to pole, I have complete and total control over Mario. My skill is what determines success or failure, not loose controls! Another reason is the level objectives offer a good variety of boss battles, races, coin collecting, exploration for hidden stars and so very much more. I do not feel that I am always doing the same tasks over and over, and this, in part, is also a result of the level variety. There is a snowy and slippery mountain, a treacherous underground cave maze that partially contains poisonous gas, a large and foggy lagoon that offers up a pirate ship as well as a cave, a level comprised of giant clock components and parts that move at different speeds or not at all based on the clock time and many more. The levels are not hard on the eyes at all and the music tracks, while recycled a bit much, is generally appropriate and enjoyable. There are secrets that await both inside the castle paintings, where the levels reside, and out the paintings, in Princess Peach's Castle, like hidden slides and power-up switches and blocks. The slides feature tricky turns and the power-up blocks enable the powers of flight, invisibility and metal form. Plus, Mario has never boasted more standard moves, even compared with later Mario games, so Mario really does seem super in this game. He has to, too, because the game offers up a moderate challenge that requires good timing and accuracy, as well as some quick puzzle solving skills.
The game, however, is not perfect. There are some flaws that hinder my enjoyment of the game. One flaw rests with the boss battles. The boss battles in this game are really too easy to overcome. If if it is your first time playing, you likely will not lose a life on a majority of the boss battles, except for perhaps the Bowser encounters, but even Bowser is relatively easily trounced once you develop good aim and timing when it comes to dodging his attacks. Also, two levels actually share the same boss. The same boss that you encounter about halfway through the game you will find yourself fighting later. His attack patterns and means of beating him are identical, although he is a different color. That seemed lazy to me. Another flaw I feel this game exhibits is the fact that there is very little interaction with other characters in the game, aside from Koopa the Quick, the Toads, and MIPS. The castle and the levels feel a little lonely. In one level, there is actually a secluded town with homes, trees, walkways and more. Yet there are no townspeople. I would have liked there to have been more characters to talk with, interact with, do things for, rescue and so on. Regardless of these flaws and a few other minor ones, this game remains one of my favorite video games thanks to the cleverly designed and entertaining levels, the pleasant music that makes for an atmosphere that is just fun to explore and hang around in and moderate challenges that reside in the rich and imaginative world of Super Mario.
