Synopsis

Super Mario 64 is Nintendo’s landmark 3D platformer that transformed the Super Mario series by bringing Mario into a fully explorable three-dimensional world. Players explore Princess Peach’s castle and enter paintings that lead to diverse stages filled with obstacles, enemies, secrets and Power Stars. Its analog movement, dynamic camera system and open-ended level design established many of the conventions that would shape 3D platformers for decades. The game remains one of the Nintendo 64’s most influential and acclaimed releases.
