Game log entry #3:

Summary
I began playing Mario 64 and i have only seen other people play this game but i myself have never played it. The game starts off by Mario coming to princess peach's castle where he sees that bowser has taken over and locked everyone and everything into start rooms. mario must travel trough all of the rooms and unlock the doors by destroying the challenges set up on every stage.
Gameplay #1

I began playing this game and I was getting used to the controls so i was running around in the outside of the castle. after around 3 minutes i ran inside the castle were I saw all the locked doors. I went to the left door were i was able to enter without any stars. i jumped into the world and found out that i was supposed to get to the top of the hill and fight the boss. After a while of falling and getting killed because of the dog, i got away and found the boss. At first i had no idea what i was supposed to do or how to kill the boss until i ran behind him and picked him up and dropped him. i figured that i was suppose to do this 3 times so i ran behind him as fast as i could and i would drop him i did get trow a couple of time as i learned that i had to run away from him and be able to get to his back. after i finally beat him and kicked his ass wich was very exiting. After you beat him you can then jump back into the map and do different missions. The second time i joined i went after the dog as i figured that im can lower the stick wich he is attached to because i was messing with the things in the map.

Gameplay #2
the second time playing the game i had left of with around 5 stars so i was able to do different maps. In each of the maps you learn how to use Mario in different ways, to be able to fight against bowser. After i was able to get 10 starts and i went after bowser wich is the first time that you fight him in this game and it was loads of fun on how you are suppose to trow him to the spykes about 3 times. I did this stage around 4 times becaus i loved fighting him. After you beat him one time you get the key and are able to go further on into the game were you face new challanges and unlock different abilities. I was able to unlock the flying hat were i was able to go back to stage one and fly around wich is loads of fun especially when you have no idea of were to go or what to do. I found that their was lots of more stars that i can get in each of the stages, by doing different things. Most of the time i was messing around and flying trough the air.

Design
the design on the game was great, its a 3D world were you can do almost everything. you walk around and try to fight bowser to save the princess from the evil bowser. the design of it is great the whole idea of having a huge range to fight and the world is very open but closed at the same time you can pick what type of place you want to do and what mission.
