Super Mario 64
Gameplay2:
Playing Super Mario 64 has to definitely be one of my most favorite games on the Nintendo 64. After progressing more into the game, with the levels getting more challenging to achieve the small tasks you are asked to do. I realize how long the game really is. That you can beat the game as soon as you get enough stars to enter and defeat the final Bowser, but collecting all the stars in the game is the real challenge. I believe it is 150 stars. I didn’t now have enough time to beat the game, so my goal was to collect as many stars as possible within the next hour of playing.
I was pleased to no matter where you went in the game, you were not limited to which moves you could use. The wall jumps, triple jumps, long jumps, etc. I was left to how I wanted to finish the level how I wanted.
At the end of the game play I ended up with about 55 stars. I wasn’t fully satisfied but realized how much I had done within 150minutes of game play I was pleased. Defeating the first two Browsers, and collecting about 1/3 the total stars in the game.
Design:
I liked how Super Mario 64 was in a 3-D world. It brought me more into the game because it made it more realistic. Also the fact that you can change your camera angle (which took awhile to get use to) almost too any position you could think of was amazing. So no matter what angle or weird position you were in you had a view.
Although it brought the realistic approach to the game through 3-D it was able to bring the player back to reality from the bright colors and cartoonish look to the game. So you knew it was only a game, and you were the person controlling the outcome of it.
Mario, Bower, toads, and even the enemies in the game were created very well. But was even better was how you (the controller of Mario) could use the game play space as you please. How you could go wherever u wanted in the game world, and have very few limitations. Plus how the monsters in the world would follows you no matter where you went, for a certain distance. The design of this game was fantastic and I don’t know how else I would have made it better.

Super Mario 64
Summary:
In Super Mario 64 you are on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from the evil Bowser. Through out the game you collect stars from a variety of many missions within the paintings in Princess Peach’s Castle. The more stars you collect the more levels are opened up which brings you closer to the point of defeating Bowser and rescuing the princess.
Gameplay1:
This time playing Super Mario 64 and looking at the gaming aspects of it was pretty awesome. The story line was not much of a shock, pretty much every Mario game deals with him rescuing Princess Peach one way or another and in the process defeating Bowser. So the story seemed like it would be overall bland, but to my surprise it wasn’t. Taken as a whole it may be the same, but the journey to actually achieving your main goal is entirely different.
I liked how the storyline took place inside her actually castle. As if it was overtaken by Bowser and you were the last hope to save the day. I also liked how the levels took place inside the paintings on the wall. It brought me more into the actual game because; there were so many different types of paintings which set you up for so many types of environment of game play. Because of this I couldn’t wait to try out all the levels more and more. To see all the different challenge and obstacles I was sure to face.
While playing and going from level to level, painting to painting time went by quickly. An hour and a half had already gone by and I had already defeated the first Browser and collect about 30 stars.
