Game play:
I really like the story that is involved in the game. You start out just knowing that you’re a plumber rescuing a Princess, but as you go along, you meet other characters who add to the story. There’s Toad who is a helper to the Princess, and Lakitu who holds the camera to record Mario’s adventures. The fact that you can move through portraits is an interesting way to create a narrative. You see some of the same characters appear over and over, eventually ending up in the same place.
I didn’t have any interesting social interactions this time around, but when I was a kid it was family tradition to sit around watching dad play the game for a few hours. So whenever I play now, I inevitably remember back to that time. This allows a pleasant emotional state whenever I play the game.
Design:
When this game first came out, it was very innovative for it’s time. Not only the graphics, but also the amount of free choice you had in the game. The game’s story was, and always will be a classic. There are very few people who don’t know the name of Mario. Mario set the new standard for N64 games when it came out.
The game keeps the player interested through the extremely different level designs. There’s the desert area with living cactuses, and the lava land with fire dragons. Each one is unique and allows for a new discovering, allowing you to not be bored. There are a lot of different characters for each level as well as a few returning ones. It was always fun for me to see the different characters on each level.

Summary:
Super Mario64 is about a plumber named Mario who goes off to rescue his beloved Princess Peach. The evil dragon Bowzer who sets challenges for Mario inside of lands inside portraits captures her. Your goal of the game is to capture stars in order to get closer to fighting Bowzer.
Game play:
Super Mario64 is very interesting to play. Its story is so different from all others, and it’s graphics so classic, it will always hold a place in game history. While playing as Mario, you wouldn’t think it’d be fun playing as a little Italian man yelling “yahoo!” but it really is. You can’t help but feel happy when he grabs a star, or smashes an enemy flat.
I really like in Mario how you can choose which stage you want to go in to. You have a certain number of pictures that are unlocked, and you can go into any of them to earn stars. I like this amount of choice that you have because I certainly have my favorite levels that I love going back to over and over again to make sure I’ve gotten all the possible stars out of them that I can.
