Released in 1996, Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary entry in the Super Mario franchise. The title, released in conjunction with the Nintendo 64, marked the series' entry into the 3D gaming world. All previous titles featured side-scrolling 2D gameplay, while Super Mario 64 allowed gamers to explore vast worlds in every direction. Although the game was not the first 3D platformer, it's widely considered to be one of the best.

Although Super Mario 64 is predominately a platform adventure, it features a range of different styles which will try all your gaming skills. Sometimes your reactions will be tested as you attempt to avoid falling off a huge helter-skelter, while simple puzzles ... abound where you might have to work out which order to open chests without suffering an electric shock. In fact, as the game progresses you're asked to use all of Mario's special moves in pursuit of hidden stars, and it could take you months to unlock all the secrets. Aside from the stunning graphics, SM64 sounds great too! Mario speaks at regular intervals, as does the Princess in the intro and end sequence. The music is also excellent and, rather than having to load from a crummy CD, when the mood of the action changes the music alters instantly.

Once the sheer brilliance of Super Mario 64 has sunk in, there is no shortage of challenging gameplay. Each course is packed full of things to do, places to go and characters to meet. Countless mini-games are scattered throughout both the main portal area (Bowser's Castle) and the 15 courses found therein. There's plenty of diversity, too, and Mario's quest is never boring. One minute the charismatic plumber is sliding down an icy hill, the next he's flying high in the clouds in a bid to collect eight red coins. Super Mario 64 is most certainly enchanting.

Super Mario 64 has never looked this good before. Heralding a bright future full of graphically enhanced N64 titles, the Virtual Console version of Super Mario 64 features visuals vastly improved over its original cartridge release. This Mario runs in 480p, and is vibrant, crisp and totally smooth. The muddiness that plagued the N64 for years is gone now – it's almost worth downloading the game just to see how much better it looks now than 10 years ago.

This is a sound glitch in Mario 64 that's pretty neat. You do it in Bobomb Battlefield. You MUST choose the second star (When you race Koopa the Quick.) First you go and get the wing cap near the bridge at the beginning of the level. Then you go over and talk to Koopa and start the race. The Racing Music now plays instead of the wing cap music. You start to climb the mountain but go into first place where you can teleport, the cave or whatever you want to call it.(Where the Big Black Balls come out of) Your wingcap should have disappeared after you teleported.
