About Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64 is a revolutionary platformer that showed the world how to do 3D gameplay, and it remains one of the most influential games ever made. Released at the birth of the Nintendo 64, it reimagined Mario's adventures as free-roaming 3D worlds inside paintings that lead to different levels inside Princess Peach's castle. Within each world you collect Stars — usually by completing a goal, finding a hidden one, or outsmarting a boss — and gathering enough Stars opens up new parts of the castle. The controls were a revelation: Mario's triple jump, long jump, backflip, and wall kicks gave players an unprecedented range of acrobatic movement that still feels great today. With iconic levels like Bob-omb Battlefield and Whomp's Fortress, a joyful atmosphere, and superb physics, Super Mario 64 set the template for 3D platforming that games have followed ever since.
