thats an easy disagree

It's maybe a bit harsher than it needs to be, but Mario 64's camera controls have definitely not aged well and quite severely hold the game back. The level design, platforming, and general movement are all still excellent (though Odyssey stomps all over it in terms of what an absolute joy it is to move Mario around in that one), and it's still certainly a fun game to play, but even Banjo Kazooie had dramatically improved camera controls just two years later. That's not strictly SM64's fault, it's just a consequence of being one of the first forays into 3D platforming ever: Mistakes were always going to be made, which everybody learned from as the genre moved forward.
