Super Mario 64 (Pirateking2000) Like Mario 1, the revolutionary effect of Mario 64 has been discussed to death and is unquestioned, so I won't spend time talking about that. It's easy to say that if you played this game at the time it came out, there was nothing like it (which is true). The weird thing for me is that I actually didn't own Mario 64 until several years after its release. My cousin next door owned the game, so if I ever wanted to play it, I'd go over there or I'd borrow it and bring it home. I remember he specifically invited me over to help him beat the final Bowser fight because he couldn't do it (I was 10 and he was 8 or 9, for the record). I was so nervous I was literally shaking when it got down to the last hit because you couldn't just cheese it anymore by luring Bowser to the edge right in front of a bomb, somersault over him, grab him, and just let go. You actually had to throw him and land a precision hit. I messed up the first few tries because I didn't throw him far enough, so I eventually just spun him around literally as fast as I could rotate the stick. However, I accidentally released him in the wrong direction...only for him to hit the bomb on the exact opposite end of the arena, and that's how I beat Mario 64 for the first time. I'll never forget that moment. Anyway, as far as the levels go, my absolute favorite is Tick Tock Clock. This is the closest Mario 64 feels to a pure platformer, especially if you don't enter at the right time to freeze all the clockwork. It can get crazy, and I love it. Other favorites include Lethal Lava Land, Cool, Cool Mountain, and Tall, Tall Mountain (Mario 64 is fond of repeating adjectives for naming its mountains, I guess). The two mountains have slides, and I love the slide Stars in this game. The inside of the volcano in Lethal Lava Land is really fun, too. The worst level is Shifting Sand Land, hands down. Whether it's that friggin' buzzard or the overabundance of quicksand, this place sucks. It's probably the only level I outright dislike (not a fan of Tiny-Huge Island either, but it's not terrible), so Mario 64's average quality is pretty solid.
