You also have Jumping Flash but none of those 3D platformers really play like Mario 64.

My original point was that these games didn't get inspiration from Mario 64, so obviously it plays differently.

Yes, Bowser, that's a great idea, store a Star inside one of your own Koopa guys who is apparently an ally of the hero, that totally makes sense for you to do.

I played the PC port version on my school Chromebook lol. My first time beating and 100%ing the game.

Your school must've been rich. The school Chromebook I used to have could barely run a NES emulator.

Not a single 3d platformer I have ever seen or played have not taken inspiration from this masterpiece. I've played this for the first time on the n64 switch subscription and the controls/physics are done so well. I cannot believe the game was made in 1996 and was Mario's FIRST 3d outing, because this game felt like it was created from levels of experience with 3d platformers. Nothing can replicate the magic of this game, and this is coming from someone who's first 3d Mario game was odyssey.

That's kinda because this game was the birth of 3D gaming as we know it now. Before it, 3D games just worked with tank controls or something similar.

I think the soundtrack is pretty hit or miss (for every Coconut Mall, there are generic tracks like Rainbow Road), and I found the game to be pretty unbalanced and unsatisfying. It feels like you never get punished for being bad at the game, but will get pushed from first to last just because you got a double blue shell, red shell, star, and bullet bill combo. So both, to some extent.

I replayed Mario Kart Wii last year and completed it and unlocked everything. I did it almost problem free, but the game did screw me a few times with my bad luck. I agree with the lack of punishment statement. You can suck horribly at some tracks, but you'll still be get first if you're good enough at the game. The real kicker is if the game feels like letting you win the race or if they feel like ruining your whole run due to some stupid last second blue and red shell combo.

LunarBlue24 is talking about the soundtrack.

There's only seven theme songs that I like in this game which are Bob-omb Battefield, Dire Dire Docks, Slider, Cool Cool Mountain, Bowsers Road, and the ending theme. Besides those seven tracks, the rest of the soundtrack isn't anything note worthy to me.

Yeah... I've played a ton of games in my life and lately I've been getting into the Ratchet & Clank PS2 trilogy and the Sam & Max games, they're great fun and hilarious too. I don't have a newer gen system because I really don't like a lot of modern AAA games these days, most of them don't appeal to me and feel so devoid of fun, creativity, and innovation. Especially these days where everyone is nickle and diming with stuff like battlepasses, lootboxes, and DLC; I just want a fun game man. I just stick to indie games or older games from 1980s to early 2010s.

It's sad how sort of niche the series is compared to most of Nintendo's franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Kirby. But considering there's been many indie Metroid-likes these past years, I guess people are starting to appreciate them more and honestly they were sort of ahead of their time when you really think about it. I really got into Metroid a few years ago and I've played through a good amount of the series. Metroid, Return Of Samus, Super, Fusion, Dread, and recently Prime 1. If I were to rank them it would be Super followed by Prime, then Fusion, Dread, Metroid, and Return Of Samus.

Did you play the Gameboy original or the 3DS Game?

Metroid is a interesting name drop because I've been meaning to give that series a try for a while now. However, I've never gotten around to it because there was always another game that I decided I wanted to buy instead. Even when the Wii U shop was open, I didn't bother buying a Metroid game because there were other games I wanted to play like Super Mario 64, Super Punch Out, Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, both Nintendo 64 Zelda games, and Super Mario Bros 2 (the Famicom game that's known as the Lost Levels in the U.S.). I also gave another franchise that same treatment where I would put it off for a while and or never play it. That other franchise is Final Fantasy, but recently, I gave it a shot again and this time I actually finished one game of that series and the very first game I beat in that franchise was Final Fantasy IX (which is one of my all time favorite games). The next game I plan to play is a toss up between Final Fantasy V (pixel remaster), Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, or Final Fantasy III (pixel remaster). So, maybe, I'll eventually give Metroid the same treatment.
P.S. I forgot Undertale was a game let alone that it apparently has a sequel:l

For me, one of the series I've been meaning to try out is Pikmin. It seems fun, but I haven't gotten around to playing any of the games for the same reason. There's other games I also want to buy like Ghost Trick, Apollo Justice Trilogy, Penny's Big Breakaway, Another Code, and of course, the Paper Mario TTYD remake. I also need to finish my playthrough of the OG TTYD, play Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and play Mario RPG.

Mario is peak. Then again, my gaming tastes consist of: Mario, Sonic, Metroid... uh, Undertale & Deltarune... Ace Attorney, and that's about it. And you could easily call me a Nintendo fanboy since I literally don't play on PlayStation or Xbox anymore. Still don't have a reason to get a PS5. Then again, nobody does lol.

I completely agree with you. While I think the Mario series has great games and all, it's not one of my top favorite franchises like Mega Man, Castlevania, or Devil May Cry. Whenever I'm in the mood for some Mario action, I'll replay some Mario games, but it isn't something I'll replay on a constant basis.

Personally I wouldn't really consider Mario one of my top favorite series or games for soundtracks, but they are nice to listen to every now and then.

I mean, I'd say Sonic music is better but nah, Mario music still goes hard, especially the 3D games and spin-offs. Galaxy, 3D World, Odyssey, Mario Kart, Mario Party, the RPGs, etc.

My favorite minigames as a kid was the one where you launch Spinies at parachuting Bomb-Ombs and the trampolining one with the Marios.

Those were the best ones. I also loved the one where you had to separate the black and red Bob-Obs from each other.

No other Mario soundtrack brings back as much nostalgia to me as this one. I remember playing the DS remake alot back then but I've since played the original N64 game. I remember being scared of Big Boo's Haunt and Hazy Maze Cave as a kid.

I played the DS version first, but I only played the mini games which were really fun. As for the main game, I didn't get very far in the DS version because I sucked at video games as a kid. Two years ago, I finally played the original version and I completed it with 120 stars (I played the game off the Wii U because it was still open at that time).

Thanks! Since these were available via mail order only both the tapes and CD's are quite rare but since tapes were on their way out at the time I personally believe the tape is the rarer format. My uncle collects albums and when he asked me if I had anything rare I told him I had the Super Mario 64 soundtrack on tape. He looked it up in an online sales and price tracker and said it was worth about $80!
