    Growing up as a kid, SMB 1 - 3 were amazing. SMW was magical. But it was getting an N64 in my adolescence, Christmas day 1996, that was a literal life-changing - bordering on religious - experience. Nearly 27 years later, I still haven't reached that same level of excitement and wonderment. I probably never will.

    I grew up with the DS version of this game, and only played the original recently. Amazing how well it holds up even to this day. Fantastic video!

      Me too, I played the original and it felt like a whole new game because of the movement. I cant go back to the DS version due to only having 8 directions to move

    4:03 this is so cool. It just shows how Miyamoto truly is Mario’s father. The fact that Mario’s moves were modeled after Miyamoto’s own movements just makes him a living legend

    I was playing this game on my Switch just before my child was born. I was on the Jolly Roger Bay level, with Dire Dire Docks playing.
    This was the last game, and the last song I heard before I became a dad last month. So, thank you for this. It's quite the bit more meaningful to me now.

    I like collecting stars in 64 more than collecting moons in Odyssey. It feels better collecting fewer things that take longer to get than it does many things that you are constantly grabbing, often with little effort.

    I hear that a lot of people say that it doesn't hold up at all and it's very dated because of how awkward it is to control, and honestly I'm convinced that 80% of the people who are saying that are because they're playing it on the nintendo switch online expansion pack. I've recently played the game through the pc port, project64, and the NSO, and i can safely say that after breezing through the game the first two times, it's probably because the NSO emulator is absolutely garbage.

    Super Mario 64 introduced me to not just Mario but video games in general as a child.
    Although I never managed to complete the game at all, thanks to my fear of a few of Bowser's minions in some levels (ex: the chain chomp)

    too bad I was not able to play this game in 96. My parents were too poor and nintendos were always very expensive in Brazil. I played this game first in project64 in 2007 and it was impressive how good this game was. this game made me love all the mario series. then I played the other titles in the sequel, mario sunshine (this one sucks), mario galaxy (love it), mario galaxy 2 (my favorite) and I'll play mario 3d world once I'm done replaying new super mario bross wii. Thanks for this video, this helps appreciate even more about the Mario game series.

      I always found the levels at the first halve of Peach's Castle to be great. But once u get to the basement & top floor, I found the rest of the levels getting worst with there design choices & mission. With the exception of Lethal Lava Land. That one is good.

    Super Mario 64 is absolutely and positivity one of my favorite and greatest video games of all time. The graphics, levels, and gameplay was revolutionary and breathtaking. It define the 3d era of the platforming genre. It was decent. To this day I still play it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍

    Personally speaking, while I don't think 64 is the best Mario game nor the greatest game of all time and I do feel like there better 3D Mario games than this ( Sunshine not withstanding ), I can't deny the impact & how revolutionary it was back than. The fact it's 3D was surprising and how decent some of it's constructed or core of the game works is interesting to say at least. They are many quirks and things that age here & there, in which later titles improved on. But still. I can respect the game for what it is and despite it's age, I still had an good time with it.

    Very great video that perfectly explained everything that made the game the masterpiece that it is. It has not been surpassed to this day In my honest Opinion as the greatest Mario Game ever made, and For the past 25 years, and still onward, I wait for the true sequel/successor to surpass this game. No other Mario game has managed to usurp the Throne. Mario 64 is waiting for the "chosen one" game to pass the crown on, to become the next King of all Mario Games.
