Super Mario 64 was the first 3D platform game in the Mario series, and though it was not the first-ever 3D platformer, it established a new archetype for the genre, much as Super Mario Bros. did for 2D sidescrolling platformers. The game has been called "revolutionary" and has not only influenced a great many games in its genre, but has had a lasting impact on 3D games in
general.
During a vacation in Dinosaur Land, Princess Toadstool gets
kidnapped, and a spell is cast on the inhabitants of the
island. When they stumble upon Yoshi, a young dinosaur, Mario
and Luigi learn that Bowser is responsible for the terrible
misdeeds. Now, all Yoshis are trapped in magical eggs that
Bowser has hidden throughout seven castles. Many hidden paths
aid Mario in making his way to Bowser's castle, completing 74
areas, and finding all 96 exits. Discover items, including a
feather that gives Mario a cape that allows him to fly or a
flower that shoots fireballs, in layers upon layers of 2-D
scrolling landscapes. You can even ride Yoshi and swallow your
enemies! |
