Super Mario 64

Mario is super in a whole new way in Super Mario 64. Combining then-cutting-edge 3D graphics with an explosive soundtrack, this 3D platformer sets a new standard with bruising battles, daunting obstacle courses, and underwater adventures. Search for hidden Power Stars and face your arch-nemesis—Bowser, King of the Koopas. • Explore a grassy meadow, tip-toe through a gloomy dungeon, climb to the top of a mountain, or swim in the moat. • Leap into a watery painting and find yourself in an underwater realm. • On-the-fly 3D rendering delivers action from every angle as enemies attack. • Discover Caps that grant Mario super powers, uncover the mysteries of the pyramid, and even race Koopas for fabulous prizes. • With the Nintendo 64 Controller’s analog Control Stick, Mario can crawl, kick down obstacles, swim, perform reverse flips, and stick the landing on a backwards somersault. • Save data is stored for up to four players in memory.

On a bright, sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario heads to visit the princess—only to find her castle strangely deserted. By leaping into the paintings on its walls, he enters 15 magical worlds on a quest to recover the 120 Power Stars stolen by the evil Bowser and save the day. These expansive worlds are packed with challenging obstacle courses, hidden items, puzzles, and more than 30 kinds of enemies. Use Mario’s wide range of moves—running, jumping, swimming, stomping, punching, and even backward somersaulting. Special caps grant short-lived powers, including the ability to fly.
