Super Mario 64 N64 ROM Download
Synopsis: Nintendo's most cherished mascot character of all time, Mario, made his 3D debut with the launch of Nintendo 64 in 1996 -- and what a debut it was. The fat Italian plumber who had previously starred in so many remarkable 2D platformers headlined Super Mario 64 -- a 3D take on the platformer genre. The fact that even four years later Super Mario 64 is so high up on our list of the Top 25 N64 games is a testament to its brilliant design. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and team worked their magic on the title to bring gamers more than 15 giant levels of jump-and-run action, plus all sorts of bonus missions, an intuitive control scheme, a pioneering 3D camera system and more. It was amazing when it first released and as we write this now it's still amazing.
Matt Casamassina's Take: A common question asked when referring to upcoming next-generation software is, "Will it be as big of a jump as Super Mario 64 was over everything else?" And that really speaks loads about how original and revolutionary Nintendo's 3D platformer was, and to a certain extent, still is. It's a game that you can immediately pick up and play and be wowed by. Colorful 3D worlds, a simplistic, cartoony look and clever little puzzles will remind gamers of 2D Mario games past, and so will the extremely tight control scheme, allowing for precision analog movement and a selection of moves that includes everything from triple-jumps to butt-stomping. Everything about Mario 64 has a certain polish about it -- and it's a polish that still impresses four years later.
Call it what you will -- a sign of the quality of competing software or the ultimate testament to Nintendo's unsurpassed game-making -- Super Mario 64 is still the best platformer available on any console.
