The power ups Mario can collect have been reduced to just three: the Wing Cap, allowing Mario to fly for a certain amount of time, the Metal Cap, which turns him metal and therefore allowing him to be heavy enough to walk through gusting wind and deep water, and finally the Vanish Cap, which allows him to be invisible and able to walk through certain walls and wire fences. This is all thanks to Nintendo getting the most out of their own analogue stick and 3D engine right out of the box. He can double and triple jump, he can duck, crawl, walk slowly or run fast, he can punch or kick enemies if they’re stunned, and he can do long jumps and backflips. Platforms, coins, Piranha Plants… it’s still Mario alright!Īlthough still having a lot of the trademark Mario tropes of jumping on enemies heads and collecting power-ups, thanks to the leap to 3D Mario has a lot more moves in his arsenal.

It has been re-released on virtual consoles and the like, as well as a DS remake called Super Mario 64 DS, which adds several new characters and challenges, but lacks a lot of the original game’s control fluidity due to the DS’s lack of an analogue stick…īoasting not only good 3D graphics (for the time!) but using the N64’s unique analogue stick, it had full 3D movement in a 3D environment, which when combined with a play style more like open world than anything else at the time, just shows how amazing an experience it was at the time, and why it’s considered not only one of the best, but one of the most influential and revolutionary games of all time. Super Mario 64, unbelievably given how much it got right, was a launch title for the N64, and therefore came out in Japan on June 23 rd 1996, with a US release September 29 th that year, and a European release on March 1 st 1997. Mario will never look at paintings the same way again… due to it’s all-time classic status? Mario Galaxy for arguably being my favourite? Mario Odyssey for the being the one I played most recently? In the end, I went for none of the above, and jumped into Mario 64, as much like the first game, it was a truly revolutionary experience, and just as worthy of a choice as the others, especially in giving me something to write about in the “Thoughts Then” category… Let’s take a look then, and end this lengthy countdown…
Ultimate, and what other way could we end on other than Mario? So the hard part was choosing which Mario game to go with, the original Super Mario Bros. So here we are, after 28 days we arrived just one single day away from the release of Super Smash Bros.
