Released in 1996 by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development, Super Mario 64 is a platform-adventure game that brought the long-running series into three-dimensional gameplay for the first time. Available on Nintendo 64, Wii, and Wii U, it tasks players with collecting Power Stars hidden across a series of expansive worlds, accessed by leaping into paintings within Bowser's castle. Environments range from grassy meadows and mountain peaks to underwater realms and dungeon interiors, each presenting distinct obstacles and enemies. Mario's move set is notably broad, encompassing crawling, swimming, kicking, and acrobatic maneuvers such as reverse flips and backwards somersaults, all controlled through the Nintendo 64's analog stick. Special caps scattered throughout the game grant Mario additional abilities. The central conflict pits Mario against Bowser, King of the Koopas, encountered across several direct confrontations. Save data supports up to four player profiles.
On a bright, sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario goes to visit the princess but finds her castle eerily empty. Leaping through pictures hanging from the walls, he enters 15 magical worlds in a quest to collect the 120 Power Stars pilfered by evil Bowser and save the day. The game's vast worlds teem with daunting obstacle courses, hidden items, puzzles, and more than 30 types of enemies. Take advantage of Mario's large selection of moves, including running, jumping, swimming, stomping, punching, and even backward somersaulting! Special caps give him short-lived powers, including the ability to fly.
