This is truly a legendary game, probably in the nintendo 64 top five games on the system and probably one of nintendo's best games ever. Its a shame the n64 did so badly in the sales some people will probably never play this great platformer. Super mario world though still remains my favorite Mario game even though I'm not knocking this game, Mario's first 3-d debut which has a mix of some the old levels in Mario with some great new missions to do, one thing I enjoyed about this game was the snow level in the game going down the slide racing the enourmous penquin for a star. The whole game was great despite the fact that it wasn't multiplayer which is a shame; poor old Luigi. The story also sucked; "Mario I've baked a cake for you" says Peach then she's kidnapped. In many ways it is so funny the fact that the story is so kiddish yet adults and younger gamers alike buy it, still worth the purchase and you have to own it, it really rocks.
