Super Mario 64
Reviewed by Matt Mullen
Super Mario 64, one of the first games to come out on the 64 system,
you could also say that it is the sequel to the first game on the NES,
Mario. Even though this game does not include mario it is still much
better then most games. The graphics are outstanding, the gameplay
is good, and the music has a strong variety. In Mario 64 you go around
peaches castle collecting power stars trying to make your way to the
three Bowsers and defeating them setting the princess free. Their is
a total of 120 stars, and if you can get them all you can meet Yoshi.
Graphics 9 out of 10
The graphics are pretty good on this game but Nintendo did not use
all of its capabilities on this game considering it was the first game
on the 64 deck. But that doesn't matter, the graphics are still much
better then most of PSX's games and segas. The graphics are pretty

Music and Sound 10 out of 10
In this game there is different music for most of the levels, some bold,
some soft. This variety of music keeps the adrenalin pumping and makes
you want to find out what's coming up, so never turn it off until you
have found out what is over the horizon. In this game there is different

Game Challenge 9 out of 10
This game is easy for some and can be very difficult for others depending
on your skills. You must be able to use the anolog joystick easily to
defeat this game. To beat this challenging game you must collect at
least 70 stars and you must beat bowser all three times. After you beat
the game you can continue on to try and reach 120 stars. In this game
you swing bowser around by his tail, but stop, fly, swim, race against
animals, and take baby penguins to their worried mothers, and more!

Game Play-Fun 10 out of 10
This game is very fun, every once in a decade it will get boring because
you can not accomplish something but other then that you could play it
for hours. You are Mario and you go around breaking bricks and stopping
on enemies which makes this game very fun. You could play it for ever,
that is until you get 120 stars, then it gets a little boring because
there are no multiplayer capabilities which I believe they should look
into for the next Mario, but while you are still trying to beat it is very
fun! This game is very fun, every once in a decade it will get boring

Frustration
Sometimes this game can be very frustrating if you can't get that star
that you see but just can't get, it can take you hours to get one star, at
those times you should just turn it off and take a break or go after a
different star that is easier to get. Sometimes this game can be very

Replayability 6 out of 10
It just isn't as fun the second time around. You know were everything
is, you know how to get everything and the challenge goes away. It can
still be kind of fun racing penguins and turtles, but not fun collecting
100 coins to get a star or getting 8 red coins. They should have mad a
multi player capability so that you can play with your friends. It just

Game Value 9 out of 10
This game only cost $40, and can be very fun. It is almost well worth
it. It will take you quite awhile to beat if you only play for so long a
day but if you play for 5 hours a day it could take just 3 days or less,
so I suggest each day you just get 1-10 stars, otherwise you will beat
the game fast and it will become boring. This is well worth 40 bucks
accept its few glitches, sometimes you can't get a good camera view,
you can get stuck, and no multi-player. This game only cost $40, and

Brief Summary
In this game you start out by getting a message from peach asking you
to come to the castle and when you come you find it overtaken by Bowser.
You must go into worlds collecting stars which give you power to get to
bowser and to drive him out of the castle. There are 12 worlds I believe,
and each one of them contains 7 stars. There are also hidden secret stars
around the castle. You must have 8 stars to get in the basement, 30 to
get into the second floor, and 70 to get in the attic I believe. In this game
you kill enemy's and race against animals for stars. You also collect coins
and complete task for stars. This game can take a very long time or a very
short time to beat depending on who you are. In this game you start out by

Overall 9 out of 10
This game is well worth it's $40 price. Super Mario 64 is a legend for
the N64, it is the first game to come out on the 64 deck. Even though
it is missing a few aspects this game is still great and can be mind
boggling. What ever you do don't give up for those stars and get Princess
toadstool back at any cost. And enjoy this great game! This game is well
