Editorial Review: The game that launched the Nintendo 64 system stands the test of time as one of the first and best exploratory action/adventure games.

This industry milestone game lets gamers play at their own pace, encouraging them to explore new nooks and crannies of its many levels with a Zen-like approach where the journey is as important as the goal. Other N64 games such as Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64 all owe much of their inspiration to this gem of a game. A showcase for the system's graphics and processing speed capabilities, Super Mario 64 is a must-have for any N64 owner. --Jeff Young

Awesome Game its Mario come on I think this is the best Mario game they have made. I haven't played any new ones but so far this is th best its so much fun to just run around and be silly in the game.
Best Game EVER!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Fun, but still easy!Great game!Best Mario game ever! I play it for hours!Couldn't be improved!
Super Mario 64 is the greatest Mario game EVER The title says it all. This game has always been so awesome and challenging. It's still fun after all these years!
Best all ages interactive game of the 90's! I almost wish Nintendo Wii made something this extensive, without those difficult angles as in the newest Mario.
Best game ever? Okay so when I decided I wanted to buy a "new" nintendo 64, my brain automatically said "now where can I find super mario". Hours upon hours were spent on this game when I was a tweenager and I had so much fun with it. So I went out as soon as I could and bought it again.
I was kind of worried, because I had gotten some games with my system that I used to this were fun also but they ended up being a little too easy since I'm older now, but when I got this and played it it was exactly the same. Some easy levels, and some that take forever to get through, but in a good way.
I have had it for a month now and haven't gotten bored with it yet. So I recommend this game to people of all ages. I even let my 3 year old brother try it out and he had a blast, even though he had no clue how to really navigate 100%.
