After playing Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo system, I've wanted a new Mario game. Then when I finally got my Nintendo 64 system, I immediately went for this game. And I must say what a good game this is. In fact this game is so good that I think that it's on of the best games of all time and if not of all time then it's defiantly the best platform game of all time. The gameplay is the best platform gameplay sort of like Super Mario World was on the SNES but only this Mario game is 3-D. In other words the gameplay is simply flawless. I do not know how the game's gameplay could be any better then the way it all ready is. The storyline is a classic Mario storyline, which is basically save the princess. The replay value is good because it takes a very long time to beat the game. However, you may choose to replay the game just for the heck of it still the replay value isn't all to bad. Well since this was one of the first N64, I was amazed with the awesome graphics. During that time I couldn't imagine the graphics being this good. The sound is great even better the classic Super Mario World, with new sound effects and music. Basically this is a must and I do mean must have for any gamer who owns an N64 system. I am really amazed with this game and if you are a platform gamer then you will too. I highly recommend this game to you.
