Play Online Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64 Version)

Super Mario 64 arrived in 1996 and changed how players moved in games. Nintendo invited Mario into a world built in three dimensions. He raced across glowing meadows under a blue sky. He climbed stone towers. He leaped over deep pits to keep moving forward. His journey led him into Bowser’s lair and Princess Peach waited inside.

Princess Peach’s castle stood at the center of the action. Paintings on the walls led to other worlds. In each area Mario earned a Power Star by winning a race against goombas. He solved puzzles. He battled hulking bosses to claim more stars. With every prize the castle opened new corridors until Mario faced Bowser in three final battles.

This game showed off bold visuals with smooth controls. Players could twist the camera to find the best view at any moment. Mario learned the triple jump. He bounced off walls and pounded the ground to shatter blocks. A later handheld edition added more Power Stars and unlocked new characters. Super Mario 64 set a new standard for platform games that followed.
