Mario Collector's Book

Super Mario 64 is a 3D action-adventure platform game where players control Mario as he explores a large open world, collects Power Stars, and rescues Princess Peach from Bowser. Gameplay revolves around using Mario's diverse moves — including triple jumps, long jumps, wall jumps, and special caps for flight — to navigate obstacle courses and puzzles in the castle's paintings and worlds. The story begins with a letter inviting Mario to the castle for cake, but Bowser kidnaps Peach and seals her inside the walls using stolen Star powers. Characters include Mario as the protagonist, Princess Peach as the princess in distress, Bowser as the villain, and Toad as a supporting ally; no playable Luigi or Yoshi in the original. It stands out for pioneering true 3D free-roaming exploration with innovative camera controls, making it a launch title for the Nintendo 64 that revolutionized platforming. Single-player mode only.
