I love nudging the stick 2 picometers and getting sent flying off a platform because Mario has the turning radius of a fucking zamboni and I love only being able to adjust my trajectory 3 inches in any direction after I hit the jump button and I love the camera it's so good why doesn't every game use this STUPID FUCKING CAMERA

If I were in the same room with you, I'd do that speed running thing where he crouches and moves backwards through the wall at super speed.

The game works best on the N64 analogue stick and all the space they give for the stick to travel.

I mean, for late 1996, it was a masterpiece.

I like 2d Mario better but it did open up a world of possibility. I got Galaxy 2 for free on my Wii U but couldn't be arsed to play it much.

  1. get gud
  2. well, i assume it's dated, like almost all N64 games. Goldeneye controls being one of the worst culprits

I love landing on the edge of a platform and then falling off anyway because Mario's stupid fucking momentum forces him to move half a fucking mile before he comes to a complete stop

Games sucked so bad in the 90s that this sucky game was considered great. I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't.

I found it perfectly acceptable. Kind of irritating sometimes due to age but not nearly as much so as many games of the era. I played it super late, though. Like, 2019-ish. I can imagine it being mind blowing if it was your first or one of your first 3D games back in the 90's though.

I didn't grow up with the game, so playing it on Switch online for the first time is an experience. I don't have the childhood time to sit here and learn the control intricacies. I can do Super Mario World blindfolded! This game is tough.

Mario 64 is a marvel of good game design. It deserves so much credit for what it got right on a tight development cycle. The camera has aged but it isn't unusable by any means, and while Mario's turn is inconsistent, I find he turns around on a dime 90% of the time I want him to.

Some real great players even got all the hidden stars! The game at the time wasn't for me and by the time I got my own n64 I was playing Wrestlemania 2000 lmao.

Super Mario 64 controls the same way it always did, and that was "perfectly adequate."

The idea of games "aging" is a myth.

Early 3d was rough I remember thinking nhl 98 or even 2000 was a great game on the Playstation 1.

Everyone knows how this works. It's just a convenient expression.
