I really like Big boo haunt because of the possibility to jump around using wall jumps. Just see how funny is feaguring out how to get on the second floor without using the stairs
@Manek Iridius True, but Rainbow Ride is the worst. It even taunts you with the most annoying music and 98% of the time you either wait or fall to your death.
1. Tiny Huge Island: as a fan of Dinosaurs and things giant, I approve. Just have fun! 2. Big Boo's Haunt: quite a few unique paths and things in this "secret" level 3. Hazy Maze Cave: similarly, you unlock the metal cap, meet Nessie and just take many paths. 4. Bob-omb Battlefield: Just a fun and easy stage where you don't get punished for exploring 5. Jolly Roger Bay: the iconic eel and sunken ship, treasure, and soothing music 6. Snowman's Land: Another toolbox area to just have fun with invisible walls and ice bullies. Not as punishing as Cool Cool Mountain. 7. Wet-Dry World: very fun and creative puzzle/toolbox land 8. Shifting Sand Land: a very complex stage with puzzles and even entering a pyramid! Sadly, that quicksand is EVERYWHERE and instantly kills you! 9. Lethal Lava Land: entering a volcano and tons of bullies! But...fucking lava is a pain, and it's just smaller and slightly less impressive than Sand Land. 10. Cool Cool Mountain: fun, but even easier to instantly die from fucking penguins or the damn wind. 11. Tall, Tall Mountain: not as many instant deaths, but it's just a tall and boring mountain 12. Dire, Dire Docks: a really small and forgettable stage. Bowser's sub is cool though 13. Whomp's Fortress: good variety, but did everyone forget that any mistake in the whole level basically forces you to redo the whole stage?? Frustrating! 14. Tick Tock Clock: Boring and frustrating! 15. Rainbow Ride: ANNOYING. BEYOND. BELIEF. Worst stage ever. Nightmarishly atrocious.
I actually really like Wet Dry World, it's more of a puzzle course and I like that. Rainbow Ride is easily the worst to me, it's so boring and slow. Oh and Dire Dire Docks kinda sucks too.
Wet Dry World was honestly an amazing stage in my opinion-my #1 favorite. I remember spending hours as a kid just exploring that underwater abandoned town and trying to come up with stories about it. My other favorites are probably Tiny Huge Island and Whomp's Fortress, as well as Hazy Maze Cave. Dire, Dire Docks was probably the only stage that I didn't like very much- i still thought the submarine was cool though.
Do you suffer from a brain tumour? What kind of fucking opinion is that? Clearly 64 has much better levels then WET DRY WORLD. Seriously reconsider your favourite 64 world
I feel WDW is definitely misunderstood. But I can understand why it might be frustrating to navigate for a first-play-through. DDD is definitely a worse course.
SMR Super Mario Rhys It’s my favorite too, although I admit it wouldn’t be if I actually used the water switches and didn’t just use highest or lowest levels every time
Hazy Maze Cave is my favorite stage, specially because it got my favorite cap power-up, Metal Mario (it felt so good just running over things in that form) and because it is the only Mario stage where you can RIDE A LAPRAS xD It also was so big and felt like an actual maze, I got lost so many times in this stage.
It was a much better time... people actually had jobs , social media didn’t dominate our lives and people didn’t pretend their lives were just perfect when behinds the scene it was actually hell usually (though granted this very comment and video is use of social media, it wasn’t near as scary to walk outside and meet people like it is today, and the news while notoriously bad back then, it’s even worse now with all the political division and bullshit. When I was a kid our only division was whether you liked Pokémon or Digimon (and of course because I lived in Alabama, whether you were Alabama or Auburn , they drilled that shit early on) now we are divided on literally everything, everyone seems to hate each other and the world is literally getting worse slowly but surely.
Wet Dry World is the most nostalgic for me because when my cousin and I were younger, he had a used copy and it was mind-blowing to see how wet dry World worked. But my favorite course is probably Tiny Huge Island
Yeah, it's a solid stage. Just industrial and ugly. Navigating takes forever so it's slow to iterate on puzzle solving. You can basically avoid those little tosser robots too, so as long as you aren't trying to scale upwards while it's dry it's not that terrible of a level.
It took me years to find the Snowman’s Land course in castle. This was before UA-cam existed and I couldn’t find any game manuals to this game at the time.
Doom fry it’s in a room with a mirror and the level is the only thing in the reflection that isn’t reflected in the actual area so you gotta jump where it would be in the actual area. It’s not too hard if you talk to toad outside but if you didn’t it’s hard to notice
A good way to rank every level in SM64, if I may suggest to all of you, is using as term of comparison the difficulty in catching every single COIN inside of it. For example Tiny-Huge Island and Lethal lava land are extremely difficult. Tiny-Huge Island with the record of 191 coins (I am not considering the impossible coin since it requires the use of a bug inside the game) and Lethal lava land with 133 coins in total are EXTREMELY difficult because they have no space for mistakes. In lethal lava land above all you have to be careful to not miss a coin coming from a bomb that need to be pushed in the lava from a very significant height at the top inside the vulcano, and that passage has to be done after you have collected all the previous coin outside the vulcano. Even Hazy Maze cave with 139 coins is quite a challenge. Especially because of a coin from a bat basically next to the big hole where the rocks fall. The other levels have no particular difficulties if studied well chosing with path to follow in order to not miss any coin. Trust me, try to experience SM64 in this way and you all can appreciate the depth inside every level.
@@willycheez7218 The only thing cool about tiktok clock is the speed of the map depending on when you jump in the clock. Idk why but tiny huge island always annoyed me too
It took me 20 years to find out the blue coin thing. I watched a speed run and was like wtf that made it a million times easier. I was just regular jumping on the goombas and collecting my yellow coins
The 2nd floor sucks. 3rd floor is alright. basement is good. 1st floor is my favorite! Edit: bc there are only 2 levels on the 3rd floor, the final level and the secret level are taking into account for that floor. 2 is not enough when one sucks and one is very good. My favorite course is probably tic-toc clock. My least favorite is Rainbow ride. Also please note that I’ve only played the DS ver, and tic toc clock is good that version
GamingDump Jolly Roger Bay has the same soundtrack and is a really good stage unlike Dire Dire Docks which is definitely the worst out of the 15 stages
Almost accurate list. If I would make my own list, it would be something like this: 1. Bob-omb Battlefield (probably just nostalgia but I don't care) 2. Lethal Lava Land 3. Whomp's Fortress 4. Cool, Cool Mountain 5. Shifting Sand Land 6. Tiny-Huge Island 7. Jolly Roger Bay 8. Hazy Maze Cave 9. Tick Tock Clock (they messed this up in N64 version, thankfully this was really not that bad in DS but it is the perfect "hard" course) 10. Tall, Tall Mountain This was entirely based on how I liked a course during my first playthrough on DS version since that was my first game.
Thanks for the video, always nice to see someone's opinion on the stages. I liked it. Here's the list in my order of preference. #1 being my favourite. 1. Jolly Roger Bay 2. Tick Tock Clock 3. Big Boo's Haunt 4. Hazy Maze Cave 5. Rainbow Ride 6. Dire Dire Docks 7. Whomp's Fortress 8. Cool Cool Mountain 9. Bob-omb Battlefield 10. Snowman's Land 11. Tiny Huge Island 12. Lethal Lava Land 13. Shifting Sand Land 14. Wet Dry World 15. Tall Tall Mountain
Lol, Wet Dry World and and Hazy Maze Cave are both in my Top 3 stages in the game (along with Tick Tock Clock), while I really don't like Tiny Huge Island. At least we can agree that Rainbow Ride and its carpets suck.
@@mellomoose_ he says he's only been able to get 120 stars once... Mario 64 is a fairly easy game. I wasn't trying to be mean, but it's irritating to see an amateur gamer criticize a fantastic level simply because they didn't put in the time or hours to get good at the game like the rest of us did. rainbow ride is such a good level... IF you can jump around freely, wall jumping off the sides of platforms etc. but yes, if you just sit around on the carpets because you are a beginner, I bet it's very boring.
15: Snowman’s Land 14: Rainbow Ride 13: Little Big World 12: Wet Dry World 11: Shifting Sand Land 10: Cool Cool Mountain 9: Tall Tall Mountain 8: Haxy Maze Cave 7: Dire Dire Docks 6: Bob-Omb Battlefield 5: Lethal Lava Land 4: Whomps Fortress 3: Jolly Roger Bay 2: Tick Tock Clock 1: Big Boo’s Haunt
Everyone should write a list like this 15. Tiny Huge Island 14. Shifting Sand Land 13. Rainbow Ride 12. Dire Dire Docks 11. Jolly Roger Bay 10. Wet Dry World 9. Hazy Maze Cave 8. Snowman's Land 7. Bob-omb Battlefield 6. Cool Cool Mountain 5. Lethal Lava Land 4. Big Boo's Haunt 3. Tick Tock Clock 2. Whomp's Fortress 1. Tall Tall Mountain
I have to admit I'm happy that Bob-Omb battlefield isn't first because it's the starter and nostalgic. There are so many better stages that it'd be silly to pick that one because of nostalgia, I swear.. Good list!
@IIvgmII yes but it wouldnt be that bad. It would sell like crazy. Also the nintendo ds super mario 64 was a success tbh i prefer it over the original with the 3 playable characters and extra stars. Id be fine if they just port it instead of remastering it. But a remaster would be a treat.
Right!! It is my favorite and number one. It’s the level where I played the fourth game ever in my life (the other 3 preceding it were Super Mario World, Mega Man X , and Super Punchout) and the level that basically led my mother to buying me and my brother an N64.
George LaBare well obviously it intends to be scary that’s like saying Lethal Lava Land has the most Lava out of any course or Tall Tall Mountain is the tallest stage
*[SPOILER ALERT]* That’s true, but in that level there’s a secret area which leads to a red pipe (there are only 2 in the game). These pipes take to the next world. I was so satisfied when I discovered them! At 2:50 he says “trying to discover new areas”
it feels like nearer the end on the game, as soon as you go upstairs in peaches castle, the levels just get worse. they feel like an afterthought and that no effort has been put into them. it's a shame because the levels nearer the start of the game are amazingly detailed and iconic.
I love Wet Dry World 'cause is memorable for a bunch of reasons: unique, clever or at least creative, puzzle at times n' good mechanics of lowering the water!!!
15: Jolly Roger Bay (Water levels suck and this is the worst one) 14: Dire Dire Docks (A little more interesting but still not great) 13: Rainbow Ride (A frustratingly difficult but also boring final level) 12: Snowman’s Land (A generic rip off of Cool Cool Mountain) 11: Wet Dry World (I actually really like this stage a lot more than you) 10: Tall Tall Mountain (I should love it and I like it but I don’t quite love it) 9: Tiny Huge Island (A very creative concept for a cool level) 8: Bob-Omb Battlefeild (Iconic and strangely lovable, Mario fan’s dream) 7: Shifting Sand Land (An actually really enjoyable desert theme) 6: Leathal Lava Land (What an awesome final stage!) 5: Whomp’s Fortress (A lot of precise platforming and dangerous enemies) 4: Tick Tock Clock (A stage based off of a clock? Now that’s amazing!) 3: Hazy Maze Cave (This one can get you lost in its wonderful world) 2: Big Boo’s Haunt (Wha the heck? This is actually sorta creepy) 1: Cool Cool Mountain (Sliding down the ice slide is always super fun!)
THE BEST: 1) Level 8 Desert (it's huge, and so is the pyramid) 2) Level 14 Clock (yes it's hard, but wall jumping around is super fun) 3). Level 15 Rainbow (there are so many ways to get around by long jumping/wall jumping. tons of fun) 4). Level 7 Fire (racing around on a shell = incredibly fun) GOOD: 5). Level 13. Big small. (very fun, although the level's invisible walls are stupidly close in when you are big Mario) 6) Level 4 Snow (it's fun just diving off the mountain when you start) 7). Level 2 Castle (many paths to ascend, and the owl is fun) OKAY: 8). Level 5 Ghosthouse (good atmosphere, and it stands out in the game) 9). Level 1 Bobomb (our first experience. climbing the mountain is tedious though) 10). Level 12. Mountain. (same problem as Level 1 only the mountain is even more tedious to climb again and again) 11) Level 10 Ice Level 2 (climbing the snowman is fun, nothing else is. well except getting the perfect canon angle to beat the ice maze instantly lol) HORRIBLE: 12). Level 11 Wet Dry (looks like Mario is in a boring office with gray cubicles) 13). Level 3 Water (gets tedious swimming through basically empty space, over and over and over) 14). Level 6 Cave (the moving platform with the arrows and falling off... slow and boring level) 15) Level 9 Water Level 2 (having to swim through 60 seconds of total emptiness over and over over = just plain bad design)
The more I come back to see videos of this game, the more I realize just how amazingly well designed it is. For it being one of the first 3D platformers, Nintendo did a hell of a job making it work, making it fun, and making it challenging.
Well the funny thing about this is you're probably ranking these from the prospective of an adult and when we were all kids, these maps were on a whole other level lol.

My 3 most and least favourite levels would be: 1. Bob Ombs Battlefield- a perfect world to start, much to explore, a Koopa race and just a lot of stuff to mess around 2. Cool Cool Mountain- I like snow levels, also it has a slide and the baby penguin rescue mission is really memorable 3. Tie between Shifting sand land and tall tall mountain- one has a big pyramid to explore, the other an awesome slide 13. Hazy Maze Cave- It´s creative and actually a good level, but I am never looking forward to playing it, the red coins are boring and it´s just ugly to look at. 14. Big Boos Haunt- I find the level design boring, it´s too small, you fight the same uncreative boss three times, the library is too easy and the last star ist just getting up to the previous star a bit faster. 15. Dire dire docks- the only level in this game I actually dislike. It is boring, the red coins are annoying as hell, and that big, gaping suckhole to me is ten times scarier than the piano. To me there is only 101 coins in this level, because there is just no way in hell I am going anywhere near that horrorhole.
my personal list of course 15. Dire Dire Docks 14. Snowman's Land 13. Rainbow Ride 12. Jolly Roger Bay 11. Tall Tall Mountain 10. Shifting Sand Land 9. Tiny Huge Island 8. Leathal Lava Land 7. Bob-omb Battlefield 6. Hazy Maze Cave 5. Big Boos Haunt 4. Cool Cool Mountain 3. Tick Tock Clock 2. Whomps Fortress 1. Wet Dry World idk why but it seems like the case with everyone and WDW is that you hate it or you love it, personally I think it is one of the best levels and probably hands down the best water level in any Mario game. Whomps could very easily be tied with WDW but for the sake of the list I think I like the latter just a tad bit more
Because an order is impossible I’ll present tiers. Worst Levels: Dire dire docks Snowmans land Jolly Roger bay Rainbow ride OK Levels: Whomps fortress Tiny huge island Tick tock clock Wet dry world Great Levels: Bob-omb battlefield Cool cool mountain Tall tall mountain Elite Levels: Big boos haunt Shifting sand land Lethal lava land Hazy maze cave
Rainbow Ride is, by far, my least favorite. It's just a mess of a level with no cohesion--swings over there, traingles over there, red coins over there, etc. The worst is going up to get the star on top of that house at the top of the level, getting hit with that flame burner, which can easily happen due to the camera angle when the carpet sinks down toward it, and losing your carpet. My personal list: 15) Rainbow Ride-ugh 14) Dire Dire Docks-boring 13) Snowman's Land-shell surfing was fun but nowhere near as impressive as Cool Cool Mountain. 12) Lethal Lava Land-may not be a popular opinion, but I found it very vanilla outside the volcano. You got two stars for basically defeating the same enemy. 11) Tick Tock Clock-Oh what could have been for this level. Very innovative concept-it could have been close to my favorites if not for one thing.....the camera keeps fighting me in crucial spots and I can't see where I'm going! 10) Wet Dry World-more emphasis could have been made on the intermediate water levels instead of just full/empty. However, the sunken city portion was just flat-out cool. 9) Bob-omb Battlefield-the one that starts it all. Great introductory level to get used to the controls. Not much more need be said. 8) Jolly Roger Bay- I'll admit, I was never a huge fan of water levels in any video games, much less Mario. But this one felt like such an adventure (sunken ship, giant eel, treasure chests). I'm a believer. 7) Tall Tall Mountain- Very fun. Except for that douche monkey. So much to explore. A few cool secrets. Only problem is, Cool Cool Mountain did it first and better. 6) Whomp's Fortress-the greatest trick Shigeru Miyamoto and his crew ever pulled was not telling the world there was a star hidden in some random corner of a wall. Seriously, another great introductory level. 5) Big Boo's Haunt- Definitely an atmospheric course. Dare I say scary in certain spots? Like with Lethal Lava Land, there was a tad bit of redundancy in the stars (defeating Big Boo 3x). However, it differed in that you had to reach him in very different locations. 4) Hazy Maze Cave- Where to begin? Arrow platforms, underground cavern with prehistoric creature, lethal gas pit, giant rolling boulders, Metal Cap. This level had a real Indiana Jones vibe to it and I loved every star of it! 3) Tiny Huge Island- These size levels have been favorites of mine since Giant Land in SM3. Would have been my #1 if it just had a few more enemies of differing sizes. It could have benefited from a few Super Mario World enemies (e.g. Monty Mole). 2) Shifting Sand Land- Giant Birds, Quicksand, Tornadoes, the Pyramid. Deadly quicksand all around those pillars made them really challenging. Would I be wrong for saying that the battle with the stone hands monster (I want to say Bongo Bongo) felt more satisfying than any of the boss battles against Bowser? You actually had to defeat it instead of just throwing it into well placed arena bombs. 1) Cool Cool Mountain- My favorite level. Surprisingly large for a beginning course. If I would have changed one thing about it. They should not have awarded a star for just going down the slide, only for defeating the penguin. That aside, each star felt like a unique challenge. It took me forever to get the snowman's head on its body. They even placed a decoy baby penguin near the mama penguin.....so who does that penguin belong to? And then there was the wall jumps star.
My NEW Top 5: 5. Lethal Lava Land: There’s so much to do in this stage, and the 100 coins are a ton of fun to get 4. Tick Tock Clock: Do you like Bennett Foddy? Then this stage is for you! (said no one ever) Still a ton of fun 3. Whomp’s Fortress: Aesthetically pleasing and the level itself is a blast 2. Tiny-Huge Island: If you’ve played it, you understand why it’s so good 1. Bob-Omb Battlefield: Perfect stage to begin your Mario 64 adventure
Gotta give props to Big Boo's Haunt for actually being creepy, and Hazy Maze Cave for actually getting me lost! XD

A good way to rank every level in SM64, if I may suggest to all of you, is using as term of comparison the difficulty in catching every single COIN inside of it. For example Tiny-Huge Island and Lethal lava land are extremely difficult. Tiny-Huge Island with the record of 191 coins (I am not considering the impossible coin since it requires the use of a bug inside the game) and Lethal lava land with 133 coins in total are EXTREMELY difficult because they have no space for mistakes. In lethal lava land above all you have to be careful to not miss a coin coming from a bomb that need to be pushed in the lava from a very significant height at the top inside the vulcano, and that passage has to be done after you have collected all the previous coin outside the vulcano.
Even Hazy Maze cave with 139 coins is quite a challenge. Especially because of a coin from a bat basically next to the big hole where the rocks fall.
The other levels have no particular difficulties if studied well chosing with path to follow in order to not miss any coin.
Trust me, try to experience SM64 in this way and you all can appreciate the depth inside every level.
I can't believe you'd put tinyhuge and Tik tok clock above bobomb battlefield.
This guy literally has the most unpopular opinions about this game ive ever seen lol
Tick Tock clock is great
They're both better than bob omb battle field
@@willycheez7218 The only thing cool about tiktok clock is the speed of the map depending on when you jump in the clock. Idk why but tiny huge island always annoyed me too
@@bryanwadleighofficial3155 I think that means that you suck. Both those stages are easy
What an amazing game. And it was on for the N64. Simply mindblowing
Anybody: Ranking Every Super Mario 64 Level!
Rainbow Ride: Oh shit, here we go again
Oh no, wait, he didn't...
Today I learned that I’ve gotten the names of Jolly Roger Bay and Dire Dire Docks backwards my whole life.
There's no docks in dire dire docks
Docks Dire Dire and Bay Roger Jolly
Wow
@@TheAwesomeJ0se I think he meant that he got them confused for which stage was which
@@TLG64 yeah, that was one year ago, I was probably just joking
I would definitely put tiny huge island lower in my opinion as I found the 100 coin star way too frustrating
Jump On Everything - FYI, if you ground pound the goombas when you’re tiny, you’ll get a blue coin (5 coins) instead of a normal
Yeah plus it has the ,ost coins in da game
It took me 20 years to find out the blue coin thing. I watched a speed run and was like wtf that made it a million times easier. I was just regular jumping on the goombas and collecting my yellow coins
*Can you rank every Super Mario 64 DS level?*
Edit:This is a joke!
The levels are the same
They are the same lwvels
Yeah there the same
*ThE lEvEls ArE tHe SaMe*
@Muffin Melodies Me too? r/whoosh to you my kind sir/miss I was ironic
tiny huge island should be 15 imo, I cannot stand that stage
Emperor's Champion I totally agree
Nope, wet dry land sucked Edit: I was right lol
I mean it's one of the best but whatever
I was hoping someone in the comments would be brave enough to say it
My ranking
15 - Wet-Dry World
14 - Dire, Dire Docks
13 - Snowman's Land
12 - Hazy Maze Cave
11 - Rainbow Ride
10 - Tall, Tall Mountain
9 - Whomp's Fortress
8 - Jolly Roger Bay
7 - Bob-omb Battlefield
6 - Tiny-Huge Island
5 - Tick Tock Clock
4 - Cool, Cool Mountain
3 - Lethal Lava Land
2 - Big Boo's Haunt
1 - Shifting Sand Land
The 2nd floor sucks. 3rd floor is alright. basement is good. 1st floor is my favorite!
Edit: bc there are only 2 levels on the 3rd floor, the final level and the secret level are taking into account for that floor. 2 is not enough when one sucks and one is very good.
My favorite course is probably tic-toc clock.
My least favorite is Rainbow ride.
Also please note that I’ve only played the DS ver, and tic toc clock is good that version
On which one?
Agreed!
serious shenanigan probably big boo's haunt
@Serious shenanigan I think they're talking about the hub world/ Peach's castle
I
Hazy Maze Cave should be higher. I loved it when I played Super Mario 64 when I was younger. It’s really nostalgic.
tiny huge was easily my least favorite map. hazy maze was my favorite
0:40 That's not The Secret Aquarium at all, that's Jolly Roger Bay.
Yeah... we know
How is Tick Tock Clock so high on the list?
ARS because he likes it
Its his opinion...
In my opinion, it’s my favorite level
I thought the same thing. That and Jolly Roger Bay.... that level is pretty boring IMO; the music, the swimming, not many enemies, etc.
@@chrismuller531 good opinion
It's such a shame that we never fought Big Boo's cousin, Small Boo.

What are you talking about? We had to beat up seven of his cousins to get him to show his cowardly face for the first star.
I love how you explain things like a 10 year old, just like i would when i was little.
Nice.
I've just realized that the merry-go-round theme in Big Boo's Haunt and the Cool Cool Mountain theme use the same instruments.
...mind blown
I just love how you introduce each stage
“Oh, look at the timing!” XDDDDDDDD
Who else is here after Big Boos Haunt. I mean Nico did say to hide here.
Nothing interesting to talk about with Dire Dire Docks? How about the beautiful soundtrack for the level?
GamingDump Jolly Roger Bay has the same soundtrack and is a really good stage unlike Dire Dire Docks which is definitely the worst out of the 15 stages
I really love wdw, mostly because of the creepy atmosphere of the skybox and the underwater city

I don’t agree with the ranking at all, but I love hearing how other people feel about the levels 🥺

Almost accurate list. If I would make my own list, it would be something like this:
1. Bob-omb Battlefield (probably just nostalgia but I don't care)
2. Lethal Lava Land
3. Whomp's Fortress
4. Cool, Cool Mountain
5. Shifting Sand Land
6. Tiny-Huge Island
7. Jolly Roger Bay
8. Hazy Maze Cave
9. Tick Tock Clock (they messed this up in N64 version, thankfully this was really not that bad in DS but it is the perfect "hard" course)
10. Tall, Tall Mountain
This was entirely based on how I liked a course during my first playthrough on DS version since that was my first game.

Lol, Wet Dry World and and Hazy Maze Cave are both in my Top 3 stages in the game (along with Tick Tock Clock), while I really don't like Tiny Huge Island.
At least we can agree that Rainbow Ride and its carpets suck.
"#13 is rainbow ride" *war flashbacks*

Why hasn't Nathaniel did this yet?....
A question we might never know the answer for.
@NCC13 same
I know, he didn't have a brain as good enough this week.
Nathaniel Bandy did a video ranking the top ten levels in SM64 a few years ago. ua-cam.com/video/p3Bc1EMwtnw/v-deo.html
I dunno
I have to admit I'm happy that Bob-Omb battlefield isn't first because it's the starter and nostalgic. There are so many better stages that it'd be silly to pick that one because of nostalgia, I swear..
Good list!

:0 i don't think it will happen tho..
@@hiddencorner lets just hope. Theyve remastered and ported other old games so lets wait and see.
@IIvgmII yes but it wouldnt be that bad. It would sell like crazy. Also the nintendo ds super mario 64 was a success tbh i prefer it over the original with the 3 playable characters and extra stars. Id be fine if they just port it instead of remastering it. But a remaster would be a treat.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think that Tick Tock Clock is the best level.
not that unpopular, its my 2nd favorite tho
It’s my favorite, and the camera adds to the experience
I hate that level lol
My fav is lethal lava land.
The music with the sitar is the best!
Wet-dry world is so cool, underwater city, how u enter the painting determines the height, the height changing and the robotic throwing guys.
Bobomb batterfield should at least be in the top 3. It's the first fully realized 3D world we experienced at the time, and it's so iconic and lovable.
Right!! It is my favorite and number one. It’s the level where I played the fourth game ever in my life (the other 3 preceding it were Super Mario World, Mega Man X , and Super Punchout) and the level that basically led my mother to buying me and my brother an N64.
Big boos haunt is the scariest level in super Mario 64
Nah bob-omb battlefield is
George LaBare well obviously it intends to be scary that’s like saying Lethal Lava Land has the most Lava out of any course or Tall Tall Mountain is the tallest stage
ABSOLUTELY
@@lukehogan7388 r/Woooosh
@@bamalamlamlam4776 why are you wooshing him, he didn't say anything about the joke

Why is 3d world an example of freedom to discover?
It’s just a normal mario sidescroller but in a 3D way
*[SPOILER ALERT]*
That’s true, but in that level there’s a secret area which leads to a red pipe (there are only 2 in the game). These pipes take to the next world. I was so satisfied when I discovered them!
At 2:50 he says “trying to discover new areas”
it feels like nearer the end on the game, as soon as you go upstairs in peaches castle, the levels just get worse. they feel like an afterthought and that no effort has been put into them. it's a shame because the levels nearer the start of the game are amazingly detailed and iconic.
Damn that hurts, I loved wet dry world
Yes totally With you. 😊
I love Wet Dry World 'cause is memorable for a bunch of reasons: unique, clever or at least creative, puzzle at times n' good mechanics of lowering the water!!!
15: Jolly Roger Bay (Water levels suck and this is the worst one)
14: Dire Dire Docks (A little more interesting but still not great)
13: Rainbow Ride (A frustratingly difficult but also boring final level)
12: Snowman’s Land (A generic rip off of Cool Cool Mountain)
11: Wet Dry World (I actually really like this stage a lot more than you)
10: Tall Tall Mountain (I should love it and I like it but I don’t quite love it)
9: Tiny Huge Island (A very creative concept for a cool level)
8: Bob-Omb Battlefeild (Iconic and strangely lovable, Mario fan’s dream)
7: Shifting Sand Land (An actually really enjoyable desert theme)
6: Leathal Lava Land (What an awesome final stage!)
5: Whomp’s Fortress (A lot of precise platforming and dangerous enemies)
4: Tick Tock Clock (A stage based off of a clock? Now that’s amazing!)
3: Hazy Maze Cave (This one can get you lost in its wonderful world)
2: Big Boo’s Haunt (Wha the heck? This is actually sorta creepy)
1: Cool Cool Mountain (Sliding down the ice slide is always super fun!)
THE BEST:
1) Level 8 Desert (it's huge, and so is the pyramid)
2) Level 14 Clock (yes it's hard, but wall jumping around is super fun)
3). Level 15 Rainbow (there are so many ways to get around by long jumping/wall jumping. tons of fun)
4). Level 7 Fire (racing around on a shell = incredibly fun)
GOOD:
5). Level 13. Big small. (very fun, although the level's invisible walls are stupidly close in when you are big Mario)
6) Level 4 Snow (it's fun just diving off the mountain when you start)
7). Level 2 Castle (many paths to ascend, and the owl is fun)
OKAY:
8). Level 5 Ghosthouse (good atmosphere, and it stands out in the game)
9). Level 1 Bobomb (our first experience. climbing the mountain is tedious though)
10). Level 12. Mountain. (same problem as Level 1 only the mountain is even more tedious to climb again and again)
11) Level 10 Ice Level 2 (climbing the snowman is fun, nothing else is. well except getting the perfect canon angle to beat the ice maze instantly lol)
HORRIBLE:
12). Level 11 Wet Dry (looks like Mario is in a boring office with gray cubicles)
13). Level 3 Water (gets tedious swimming through basically empty space, over and over and over)
14). Level 6 Cave (the moving platform with the arrows and falling off... slow and boring level)
15) Level 9 Water Level 2 (having to swim through 60 seconds of total emptiness over and over over = just plain bad design)
Look at that, somebody else besides me hates the water levels!
1) Tick Tock Clock
2) Hazy Maze Cave
3) Tiny Huge Island
4) Big Boo's Haunt
5) Cool Cool Mountain
6) Wet Dry World
7) Bob-Omb Battlefield
8) Shifting Sand Land
9) Thwomp's Fortress
10) Jolly Roger Bay
11) Tall Tall Mountain
12) Rainbow Ride
13) Lethal Lava Land
14) Snowman's Land
15) Dire Dire Docks
#4 it’s scary how high it made it on the list
The more I come back to see videos of this game, the more I realize just how amazingly well designed it is. For it being one of the first 3D platformers, Nintendo did a hell of a job making it work, making it fun, and making it challenging.
Nico: first off, can we talk about the music?
also Nico *doesnt play the music*
Your Super Mario 64 list is sooo much better than Nathaniel Bandy’s list
I really love Dire Dire Docks, it might be my favorite
Glad im not the only one

My favorite levels in Super Mario 64 are Shifting Sand Land and Bob-Omb Battlefield.
maybe you like playing in open fields in games
"When Mario takes a mushroom, He grows, but shrinks when He takes damage." *Proceeds to talk about THI*
That was actually pretty clever!
My 3 most and least favourite levels would be:
1. Bob Ombs Battlefield- a perfect world to start, much to explore, a Koopa race and just a lot of stuff to mess around
2. Cool Cool Mountain- I like snow levels, also it has a slide and the baby penguin rescue mission is really memorable
3. Tie between Shifting sand land and tall tall mountain- one has a big pyramid to explore, the other an awesome slide
13. Hazy Maze Cave- It´s creative and actually a good level, but I am never looking forward to playing it, the red coins are boring and it´s just ugly to look at.
14. Big Boos Haunt- I find the level design boring, it´s too small, you fight the same uncreative boss three times, the library is too easy and the last star ist just getting up to the previous star a bit faster.
15. Dire dire docks- the only level in this game I actually dislike. It is boring, the red coins are annoying as hell, and that big, gaping suckhole to me is ten times scarier than the piano. To me there is only 101 coins in this level, because there is just no way in hell I am going anywhere near that horrorhole.
"Dire Dire Ducks" What did the ducks do wrong to fear Bowser's wrath? 😂 Awesome video, great ranking for sure!

idk why but it seems like the case with everyone and WDW is that you hate it or you love it, personally I think it is one of the best levels and probably hands down the best water level in any Mario game.
Whomps could very easily be tied with WDW but for the sake of the list I think I like the latter just a tad bit more

Rainbow Ride is, by far, my least favorite. It's just a mess of a level with no cohesion--swings over there, traingles over there, red coins over there, etc. The worst is going up to get the star on top of that house at the top of the level, getting hit with that flame burner, which can easily happen due to the camera angle when the carpet sinks down toward it, and losing your carpet.
My personal list:
15) Rainbow Ride-ugh
14) Dire Dire Docks-boring
13) Snowman's Land-shell surfing was fun but nowhere near as impressive as Cool Cool Mountain.
12) Lethal Lava Land-may not be a popular opinion, but I found it very vanilla outside the volcano. You got two stars for basically defeating the same enemy.
11) Tick Tock Clock-Oh what could have been for this level. Very innovative concept-it could have been close to my favorites if not for one thing.....the camera keeps fighting me in crucial spots and I can't see where I'm going!
10) Wet Dry World-more emphasis could have been made on the intermediate water levels instead of just full/empty. However, the sunken city portion was just flat-out cool.
9) Bob-omb Battlefield-the one that starts it all. Great introductory level to get used to the controls. Not much more need be said.
8) Jolly Roger Bay- I'll admit, I was never a huge fan of water levels in any video games, much less Mario. But this one felt like such an adventure (sunken ship, giant eel, treasure chests). I'm a believer.
7) Tall Tall Mountain- Very fun. Except for that douche monkey. So much to explore. A few cool secrets. Only problem is, Cool Cool Mountain did it first and better.
6) Whomp's Fortress-the greatest trick Shigeru Miyamoto and his crew ever pulled was not telling the world there was a star hidden in some random corner of a wall. Seriously, another great introductory level.
5) Big Boo's Haunt- Definitely an atmospheric course. Dare I say scary in certain spots? Like with Lethal Lava Land, there was a tad bit of redundancy in the stars (defeating Big Boo 3x). However, it differed in that you had to reach him in very different locations.
4) Hazy Maze Cave- Where to begin? Arrow platforms, underground cavern with prehistoric creature, lethal gas pit, giant rolling boulders, Metal Cap. This level had a real Indiana Jones vibe to it and I loved every star of it!
3) Tiny Huge Island- These size levels have been favorites of mine since Giant Land in SM3. Would have been my #1 if it just had a few more enemies of differing sizes. It could have benefited from a few Super Mario World enemies (e.g. Monty Mole).
2) Shifting Sand Land- Giant Birds, Quicksand, Tornadoes, the Pyramid. Deadly quicksand all around those pillars made them really challenging. Would I be wrong for saying that the battle with the stone hands monster (I want to say Bongo Bongo) felt more satisfying than any of the boss battles against Bowser? You actually had to defeat it instead of just throwing it into well placed arena bombs.
1) Cool Cool Mountain- My favorite level. Surprisingly large for a beginning course. If I would have changed one thing about it. They should not have awarded a star for just going down the slide, only for defeating the penguin. That aside, each star felt like a unique challenge. It took me forever to get the snowman's head on its body. They even placed a decoy baby penguin near the mama penguin.....so who does that penguin belong to? And then there was the wall jumps star.
The best Mrio 64 level are the BLJ stairs.
(BLJ stands for backwards long jump)
That isn't a level it's part of the castle
