For me, the third dimension came from Quake. Doom was not a 3D game. Also, for me, personally, Mario 64 came after Ocarina and GoldenEye. Not the first console games I played, but the first I owned.

No game is really 3D, it is all fakery and illusion, just that later down the timeline it is done better. All graphics are fake, 3D is more a look than anything real. Flat graphics on a screen. But I can't say this is a game I have played much of, but I did play a lot of earlier PS1 games. Then later iRobot, but I doubt many others caught that game in their childhood either. (Nothing to do with the film, 3D platformer from 83.)

Fakery? I think YOU'RE the fake 3d around here. You're comparing iRobot to Mario 64? Ha! You're not even good enough to be my--

Alright hard ass, bad assery points to you!

+Amaranthus616 While what's displayed on a 2D screen is a 2D image, the representation of the game-world internally to the game can be 3D. DOOM was a 2D game with some additional information to make it look 3D - for example, if the enemies line up you can fire two shots without changing your aim, and one will hit an enemy, say, 100 meters away at ground level, while the other hits an enemy 101 meters away but 10 meters above ground level. Or there's the total lack of bridges/tunnels - there's never any situation in the game where the floor passes over another floor below it - the closest it comes are lifts (places where the floor-level moves up and down) and places where a narrow path passes below a break in a higher path that you can cross by running across it (there's no actual jump; just the ability to blip to the new floor level if it's not too far above your current foot-level - not that you have feet as such outside of multiplayer). Or you can punch a demon that's tens of meters above or below you but within melee range horizontally. The general consensus is to refer to DOOM as a 2.5D game. Later versions of the engine, including most modern open-source engine ports, went fully 3D. Mario 64, while, yes, being represented as discrete blobs of light on a flat screen, does work mechanically as though Mario were running and jumping inside a 3D space...

Now that's some wholesome stuff right there!

X X it makes every star feel important, unlike moons in odyssey

I find it breaks immersion. Episodic gameplay is fun. World building is fun. I prefer the latter

Also i like the linear stages like tick tock clock theyre a change of pace and a test of skill and each time you do them you find a slightly different way to do things like at 3 rotating blocks in tick tock clock instead of jumping up each one i wait for them to do theyre bounce thing and do a backflip as they rotate and land up top without having to deal with that obstacle anymore. I figured this trick out on my 3rd attempt and died a lot less. I find that every level in the game has purpose allow me to explain the foyer is the "tutorial" where you explore jump around and figure out how the game works in simple-ish stages, the first bowser level is the first test of your skills and how well you understand basic movements and teaches you how to fight bowser, the basement introduces you to new obstacles such as fire lava and boulders, dire dire docks makes you learn to swim better because of the whirl pool and teaches you how to use the climbing poles well and some other new obstacles such as using 2 caps at once to solve a problem, next is the second bowser level where the platforming test is a bit more difficult like going from classwork to homework and the boss is a little harder so as to prepare you for the final showdown, the second floor introduces a puzzle in the form of tiny huge island where the side you enter affects your size in the stage and there are pipes around the place that allow you to change size to reach certain areas like wiglers house and wet dry land is similar you can change the height of the water by jumping into the painting higher or lower but for a lot of stars you still need to change the height of the water in the level often leaving you with platforming challenges its a small step up from tiny huge island, next we have the 3rd floor with rainbow ride which is a fun platforming challenge where you usually have to stay on a floating carpet but there are times where have to jump off it onto something else in order to avoid obstacles and often having multiple options like at the start of the course the player is hit with the basic carpet and then 3 options left right or centre each of these having 2 more routes diverging from them and one of the routes having 2 more diverging from it this is a linear-ish level but because of the number of options it isnt so simple and the player is still deciding for themselves tick tock clock is next on the list depending on when you enter the course the speed of the moving objects is slowed speed up or completely stopped this gives the player options because just as rainbow ride has diverging paths so does tick tock clock keeping the control in the players hands and making the player feel more independent and ontop of that the aforementioned clock speed makes some parts easier while making others harder so the player has to decide for themselves which parts they feel comfortable enough with that they themselves can make it harder so that they can make an part the find to demanding of them easier the 3rd floor completes the players training, now they get to the last bowser level from homework to final test the platforming is much harder but the player barely notices the difference because they have been trained for this moment they get to the last bowser and they take him on beating him in only a few attempts because the first 2 bowser fights taught them how to do it but there was still an increase in difficulty. This is the games tutorial level intermediate and advanced level. The game does all this while also giving the characters like koopa the quick and levels like bob-omb battle field and secret like the slide personality and making them memorable. Then theres the credots with that beautiful music it feels like a trip down memory lane and its emotional because the player gets to reflect on theyre own progression and theyre reminded of the fun they had playing this open world sand box puzzle platformer where they held the power and made the decisions for themselves no-one could could control how they played the game so no-one tried so instead they gave the player power over everything and allowed them to play the game how they wanted. They could explore and take their time to see everything they could collect every star or they could run through and beat the game as fast as they could or they could mess around practicing their platforming. Nothing was controlled by nintendo except the difficulty which still isnt quite true as speedrunners try to find the fastest way to do everything and often make the game more challenging. The game is a personal experience of progression where each player develops their own bonds to courses and characters for different reasons. The game is different for everyone and when you finish you feel refreshed knowing youve achieved what you started playing the game to do and have no missing experiences nothing you could add to the game that would make it more enjoyable for you because you got to make the decisions not the game and if you collect all 120 stars you get to meet everyones favourite dinosaur yoshi. No-one can say the game isnt for them because they decide what happens. It truely is a great game the best 3d mario game and arguably the best mario game over all. Edit: i started wiriting this at 3:50 am and its now 4:20 and i am really tired i just had a lot to say and kept writing please leave a like

I agree its one of the reasons why i hate odyssy the moons feel like bonuses like star coins in new supe (unimportant) until you realise fuck i need them to get outa here. And even if you do want to do a clean sweep of the courses which is what i did my first time playing (this week was my first time im 15) i still loved the leaving the levels because it gave me time to cool off and think about what needed to be done next. Btw the second reason i hate odyssy is the lack of power ups and the introduction of cappy i hate it sm64 doesnt really have power ups like the caps kinda are but they dont feel the same but they dont feel lime a replacement either and thats what cappy is instead of deciding on a mario game without power ups someone at nintendo decides y'know what would be a great idea mario uses a sentient magic hat to mind control enemies animals and objects and someone else goes thats great flawless gimick that definately wont loose us any sales to the use of bad gimicks to overshadow everything that we did right with this otherwise good game with good controls and no need for gimicks.

A sense of pride and joy

True but some caps, like the Wario cap in Hazy Maze Cave, isn't really in a convenient spot. Also I don't do stars in order so when I see a star that I can only get with a certain cap, I find it more convenient to just boot out switch characters and come back.

1. Wow I somehow missed this reply. Honestly Yoshi noises coming from Wario was weird but in context it was fine XD 2. Yeah, admittedly not always the most convenient, but it still was better than ALWAYS having to go back and switch characters.

I had the same experience. Played it first at Blockbuster. The game was nothing short of mind blowing at the time.

Going into blockbuster after school on a Friday afternoon to rent Nintendo64 games was such a great time. I truly miss those days.

@@33Dannyb still is mind blowing imo. Way ahead of its time

Getting pop corn and a copy of Terminator 2 or Van Damme movie. Those were the days

As a kid, you couldn't have cleared levels even if you wanted to. Getting a star was an accomplishment. You could be stuck at 58 stars or whatever for a few days. After getting a star after being stuck you expected to be booted out of a level to take a breath and celebrate. You didn't get all 7 stars in a level in 15 minutes like someone could easily do today. Figuring out where stars were wasn't so easy because we were kids and no one understand how to play a game like this. If you weren't there you just couldn't understand. Growing up with it on the DS, with 3D games already ubiquitous and understood conceptually by the player, is not even close to the same.

Ben Haney Excellent call! I adored the original Mario 64 when it came out, and I had absolutely no problems with its huge and inviting overworld and the plethora of levels to explore. It was part of Mario’s charm.

The DS Version still has that experience if it's your 1st playthrough. I remember not realizing how to get into Big Boo's Haunt for 2 weeks because of how different it was to enter from everything else in the game. It also took me about 2 weeks to figure out how to unlock the ? Boxes for similar reasons. Without the freedom of choice, the various challenge videos wouldn't be possible like trying to beat the game without Luigi, Wario, or ? Boxes unlocked in the DS Version or trying to do it without the cap switches in the original game.

There's also the fact that some stars actually create map changes based on how you're intended to achieve the goal. Leaving the level and coming back to see that it's been changed (presumably through your involvement in the previous stars) makes it exciting to go back and see how it may be different with each new star.

It also seems like a natural progression from 2-D games that make you leave the level any way

This

It never bothered me though. The 100 coin star was grabable without leaving the stage,allowing for a combination of red coins and 100 coin and regardibg the othet stars,youre inside the stage again in a few seconds anyway

@Joe Parziale no you don't? That's what his retrospectives are. Looking at an old game and see if it still stands on it's own years after his release

@Joe Parziale you say he is bothered by the game booting you out because he didn't grow up with the game, but that's really dumb. Maybe you're just blinded by nostalgia because you (i assume by what you wrote) did grow up with it?

I was so afraid of him up until I was about 13. Then one day I got into the water and I wasn't afraid anymore. It was the first time a game actually scared me.

Fr

I hated the eel too! It was always my least-favorite level! Something about being underwater too freaked me out.

Meeeee to

Getting the start from that Eel's tail was the final star I got on my first run as a kid. That eel scared the crap out of me

In some levels that's honestly fine, and some circumstances require a level reset regardless. My issue is when you go for say, all the stars in Bob-Omb Battlefield, you end up having 4 stars which involve a lot of the same repetitive steps, and you just end up wishing you could grab them all in one go like in Odyssey instead of having to grab them one at a time, which leads to the tedium setting in rather quickly.

@@FezTheSpaceBiker And that is why Galaxy does what SM64 tried to do way better. Each star, besides some of the secret ones, felt like a relatively new experience despite being in the same galaxy. There were actually substantial changes made to level layouts each time. And the comet stars usually appeared later on after you've partly forgotten your experience with the galaxy. Now if only the galaxies felt more open. Ironically despite being set in outer space, the worlds are overall more constrictive than SM64 and Sunshine's worlds because Mario can't fly in space and the gravity-based platforming relies on small planetoids.

I feel like Tick tock clock should have been more forgiving

I always saw it as a matter of hardware limitations. I recently replayed this game via Super Mario 64 Plus, which allows you to stay inside the map after grabbing a star *and* making the necessary adjustments to make getting everything on one visit possible. It does wonders for the pacing, at least in my opinion. Agreed with BK being an unfair comparison. I do think BK handles completion better, but again, there was a two year gap to play with.

@@jonahabenhaim1223 It's pleasant enough with Super Mario 64 Plus. Stopped time and literally got everything in one sweep.

You are right, he actually says something parallel to this in his retrospective of Odyssey

+therandom3591 Thank God I’m not the only one who thinks that! The moon system in Odyssey is terrible! I wish they were more like SM64’s stars.

@@anonymoususer2756 Same here, I thought I thought I was the only one who didn't enjoy the moon system. I agree with you guys, I wish Odyssey moon system was more like 64/Sunshine/Galaxy's (mostly 64) star system to be completely honest, because the mission structure is what made almost every star special and memorable imo.

@@Rex13013 With SM64 every star was its own unique journey with different objectives you had to complete, and you could do nearly all of them in whatever order you wanted. In Odyssey every level is just kind of a big linear path with moons scattered around in diverging paths off the main objective. Some you can't do before doing another. And on top of that some you can't even collect again because of permanent changes to the level. In SM64 every course is just a blank slate that you can do whatever you want in and resets when you quit or die, just like in the 2D games. But something about Odyssey and the way its missions are structured just feels so restrictive and linear to me. I get no enjoyment out of completing them.

Yeah it's tough getting across just how next level SM64 was at launch. Most people were coming from a 16 bit console with an eight directional dpad where 3D video games as a generalized concept meant either mode 7 style sprite scaling or perhaps 2.5d FPS games like wolf3d. And analog controls meant "joystick or trackball". Imagine if all the hype behind Kinect or Oculus Rift "changing the face of gaming" actually DIDNT fall hilariously flat and maybe you'll get an idea of what SM64 was in 1996.

John Redcorn I completely agree. Even after seeing the PS1 and the Saturn, Super Mario 64 floored me. It “feeling like a dream” is an accurate description of the feeling I had while playing it for the first few times and it remained enjoyable for years to come. The game was just wonderful when it first came out.

John Redcorn i remember not even liking 64 at al because it didnt play like 2D SMB. It being revolutionary never phased me

The same can be said about Occarina of Time or Metroid Prime. It´s totally different to experience these games first jumps to 3d when they were new instead of playing them about 15 to 20 years later. Of course a game like Occarina of Time doesn´t awestruck you the same way when you first play it in 2014 opposed to the way when you played in on release. What plays a huge part is that for many these are childhood memories. I on the other hand was already 21 years old when Occarina was released, but it floored me nevertheless. The same with Mario 64 in 1996 and Metroid Prime in 2002. It was EXACTLY what I wanted at the time, a Super Metroid in 3D. These are still some of the best gaming memories I ever experienced (on many different platforms; mainly PC, Nintendo and Sony-Consoles). If I recall the last couple of years there aren´t many games that did that for me; Demon´s Souls was one of the few NEW games that somehow invoked the feeling why I fell in love with games in the first place.

I was 9 years old and used to NES and SNES. I couldn't rationalize what I was seeing or how I could possibly control it. It was amazing. Game changing.

Real1Gaming really? "The one" for me was the 20 second peach painting slide. I loved getting into the cannon and blasting off to my death or into walls so i must not have taken long for me to find it. I also didnt have internet

Such a different time. Back when you learned how to beat hard levels or found secrets by talking to kids on the playground or buying nintendo power, it really made games feel more rewarding than just having all the answers at your fingertips.

this one was my last one too... 2nd last was the peach slide under 20 seconds

Fellow Swede, fellow happiness! I had a very similar experience as a kid :D

yeah think i found it by accident. anyway the secret slide star took me longest i believe

I find it pointless to argue over which one is better, to be honest. The only real problem with the two is the shitty camera in the original and the necessity to hold the run button in the DS version, and even so, both issues aren't all that annoying.

I honestly preferred how Ape Escape Controls over Mario 64

@@jonahabenhaim1223 Oh.

It is padding though? Like- are we even arguing about that? Of course it's padding

You can't blame the camera troubles on the N64's analogue stick lol, it only had one, the C buttons controlled the camera and the analogue stick was perfect. The DS version brought its own issues, like no analogue control and only the ability to move the camera left or right.

"Multiple levels would have stars mere jumps away from each other" That's exactly why it feels like padding. This functionality was already built into the game, why not use it?

I grew up with the DS version as well, and to this day, SM64 has remained my favorite game of all time

The only thing that is better in the nintendo 64 version is the control stick...

Seriously... wtf is this dude talking about? The DS graphics alone for SM64 is shitty and blocky

Phony Montana To each their own but I find the DS’s more refined and accurate models, along with its sharper textures, more appealing than the N64 version’s strange models (which are sometimes inaccurate to the official artwork, like Bowser’s model) and blurry textures.

But I,ll admit it was quite cool to use it optonially to skip some platform. But I would say Zero mission did wall jumps better;the timing feels much more fair, you basically just have to do it immediatly as you hit the wall, instead of having to wait.

This comment perfectly encapsulates how I'm feeling about this review. The viewpoint in this review is how you end up with an industry full of games you can finish in an afternoon or pay to win. It's meant to be a challenge. You're meant to fall 15 times. It's meant to take time and it's meant to feel super amazing when you finally make the jump, otherwise what's the point? People want instant gratification nowadays and it makes me sick.

@@Adrianofnagrand The commentator really likes a lot of hard games, though. Is about HOW you're punished.

Same. Even my friend who has played 64 all his life has the same issue.

GothicLogic Nigga i cant do anything cuz of this camera tho

@@jon.... there's literally nothing wrong with the mario 64 camera. stick to fortnite, kiddo

The DS version was my first experience playing the game. I felt the importance of analog controls, so I actually bothered to stick that end-of-the-loop hard bit of plastic on my thumb and use the bottom-screen virtual analog stick. It actually worked pretty well. What I really want is for them to release a remake/polish of Mario 64 DS on the Switch.

@@jon.... Well, Mario 64 was one of, if not the first game which allowed you to reposition the camera. It still wasn't perfect but remember, before the N64 came out, you just had to deal with whatever camera angle a game decided to throw at you. There were games on the PSX which had some camera control too but not to the extent of the N64 (at least, not with the OG Playstation controller). The C buttons were an amazing innovation in that regard. I didn't have an N64 as a kid, personally, I had a Playstation but the influence of the N64 on gaming as a whole can't be denied. Even the dualshock controller, released later for the PSX, which arguably improved on Nintendo's innovations wouldn't have existed at all if not for the N64's joystick and rumble pak.

@Inevitable except that m64 hasn't aged badly at all. Most modern games still can't hold a candle to it. Did you even play much m64?

Voldemortsuncle I had a feeling that particular discussion wouldn't gel with a lot of people.

Just a difference in preference, I think. Trying hard not to sound like a jerk here...

+Voldemortsuncle I can't help but think that your problems with it would be tremendously improved by having an "invert run" option, as in running as normal movement while holding down the run button causes you to walk instead.

Arctangent the issue isn't just with the binary speed of running, it's the whole package of how momentum is handled in each game. If you enjoy simply running through the level doing the most basic of Mario's jumps to get the star, then yes liking the ds version male sense. But for me the fun part of 64 was getting good at moving mario around. You could combo his movement to increase his momentum in crazy ways that you just aren't allowed to do in the ds version. Not to mention small annoyances like kicking in the air, which for 64 gave you a slight boost to reposition your jump, while for the ds version it locks you to a specific direction. What I mean is, once you kick in the air for the ds version, you lose all ability of mid air control until you hit the ground. The game is plagued with weird decisions like this unfortunately and that specifically is why I find the original more enjoyable.

Voldemortsuncle try using the 3ds.

Then why does the 100 coin star not boot you out?

@@jonahabenhaim1223 Because they obviously added that feature late in game development. You can find articles where they confirm that.

@@RickSatan cool story beo

@Gibdo An A press is an A press, you can't say it's only a half.

ProphitDesigns Hah, that'll be the day. Nowhere near owning an N64

You'd probably get better analog control using an emulator and a modern controller even.

KingK that's might be why you prefer the DS version, though. You played it on the hardware it was designed for. But after having gotten used to two other versions of this game already, it might be impossible to go back to the original and appreciate the controls as they were. The subtle differences would be confusing and feel unpleasant.

The analogue stick of N64 controllers is stiffer than most analogue sticks, which honestly is for the best. I find it annoyingly difficult in, say, Super Mario Galaxy to consistently move Mario at a slow pace, and it's mostly because the Nunchuk's analogue stick is pretty loose (it's also somewhat difficult to consistently move Mario in a direction that isn't one of the eight cardinal directions, due to the fact that the hole that the stick is placed in, whatever that's called, is octagonally shaped).

That makes sense. I was wondering why he was ragging on the n64 controller. That thing was pretty much design with this game in mind and there is nothing better for it.

I mean if you like challenging levels

NotQuite Videos I played the 64 version first, but I prefer the DS version by far, even the controls. It's just better overall in my opinion.

While I think stating that the people complaining about the ds controls are trying to be edgy and different is fairly stupid, I never had any problems with the controls either, I was surprised to recently find out that most people didn't like it

Grew up playing the original on the Wii virtual console, tried to play the DS version but couldn't. I know its the superior version, though I wish it came out on the Wii or something originally so that I could of had a better time playing it with a joy-stick. It just feels stiff and so unnatural to me. (I played it on the 3DS.) To me, I feel like its going to be a person to person thing, mostly those who played the DS first will at least have a good grasp on the controls, while those who are used to the N64 version will not like them. Its different for everyone, or course, but having a run button in a 3D space doesn't feel right, one reason why I also don't like 3D world for the 8 directions and run button.

I perfer te DS control scheme to the N64. I really dont understand people that claim it ruined the game.

In spite of my age, the N64 version was the first one I played (though that's mostly due to me getting my cousin's old N64 before the original DS ever came out and Super Mario 64 being one of the games that was given with it) and in the end I somewhat prefer the DS version, despite the griping I hear about the D-Pad... ...I never really found too many gripes with the D pad on that game, looking back. Especially noticing the weird semi-circling KingK mentioned in the original N64 game.

Carlos If Mario 64 DS had updated graphics and full analog movement it would be amazing.

If playing it on the using the analog on the 3ds made the game function like the stylus mode it would be good. Or even the ds analog strap on

@@garbanzomeatball Kinda--I hate how some missions force you to use characters other than mario

@Lewis Bandas rite

@Lewis Bandas I love the original on the N64, but you mentioned seriousness in Super Mario 64 ? or any Mario game? Seriousness and Mario do not mix. These games are the opposite of serious.

Some levels in sunshine basically don't have platforming at all though. The hotel, beach, like half the stars in Pina park, the imposter Mario levels, etc all focus on gimmicks outside of platforming.

A door in peach castle that requires 999 moons.

ClipOnSunglasses I definitely think they should go all out. Not just redone textures, but more like how beautiful it is to run around the Mushroom Kingdom in Odyssey.

ClipOnSunglasses I guess I didn't mean throw in more things. Because, yeah, that wouldn't work. I just meant visual things. Like the flower patches in the Mushroom Kingdom, or the pixel art in the Cascade Kingdom. Something to spice up the less visually interesting worlds of 64.

+ClipOnSunglasses This is a great and an extremely underexposed idea. Older 'fuzzy' graphics make sparse levels look more lively and dense than they really are. It's what makes Banjo feel more alive and kicking than Yooka, in my opinion. There really isn't THAT much going on in Banjo, but the jaggy (jiggy? ;p) moving textures made the world seem bustling with energy in a way that's hard to replicate with high fidelity and smoother textures. For the record, I think Odyssey does an absolutely wonderful job of overcoming this while maintaining the simplicity of design.

I'd be fine with it if they went all out and added some new stuff to the old levels as well. They'll probably never do this, though.

Are you serious?!!? hahaha I didn't know...thanks.
