Fans around the world lauded Nintendo for taking such bold and innovative steps when creating the game. However, Super Mario 64 was very much the “system-seller” during 19, quickly becoming one of the bestselling games at the time. It was not considered a launch title for the Nintendo 64, as the console had released in April of 1996. Super Mario 64 was released on June 23 rd, 1996 in Japan and months later around the world. With the Nintendo 64 on the horizon, developers worked tirelessly to get the game finished in time. Proper development of Super Mario 64 took about three years, and Nintendo knew from the start that they wanted it to be the game that broke all the barriers. Acclaimed game developer Shigeru Miyamoto originally had the concept for the game around five years before it released, back when the original Star Fox was being developed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ( SNES). In order to understand Super Mario 64, we need to travel back in time to over two decades ago, the mid-1990’s. So after that lofty introduction, let’s dive in and explore just what makes Super Mario 64 so incredible. Super Mario 64 also has a well-deserved perfect rating and is often regarded as one of the best video games ever created, from many different gaming news outlets. It is one of the few games that still holds up to current standards after so many years. This game ushered in the era of 3D gaming, a place that gamers never thought they would go. I, of course, am talking about the masterpiece that is Super Mario 64. This game was a revolution in the gaming industry, and it brought what we play to a whole new level that people did not think was possible.

I also happen to share a birthday with this game, which makes it feel like I share a special attachment with it.
