The amazement of seeing Super Mario 64 at Toys R Us (RIP) before you could preorder an N64 in 1996 will always be associated with those early levels. That’s where the magic, wonder and nostalgia is for me. I’ll politely push through the later levels if I have to, but I’ll always come back to those early levels. Mario 64 is an incredible experience all these years (decades!) later. As soon as the terrain and any music is recycled the shiny/newness/excitement goes down. The “first” of each type of level are incredibly special: green fields of bom-omb battlefield, snowy peaks of Cool Cool Mountain, etc. The higher tier levels, while still fun in their own way, don’t have the same “I can’t believe I’m playing this in 1996 on my amazing N64” as the earlier levels invoke. This project is no longer offically being worked on.

There’s a definitely, for me, a major drop in fun as you ascend Peach’s castle. An open-source SM64 level editor written in C 4.0, and uses Windows Forms and OpenTK. Perhaps the biggest surprise (pun intended) occurs the moment you enter world 4-1.

And none of the stars really give me that “wow, that was really fun” satisfaction! 3 are full of clever ideas and fun surprises.
I find I’m constantly sliding or falling off the side of the island, or getting eaten by that (jerk of a) huge fish with sunglasses. The actual design of the world is a bit cumbersome and I just don’t have fun much in it. But for me the idea is far better than the execution. Yes, being able to switch between tiny Mario on a huge island and huge Mario on a tiny island is a clever idea. It seems a lot of people love this stage for the unique mechanic. So for no real reason other than “it’s fun” and for nostalgia, let’s get into ranking the Mario 64 courses! 15. easy to get Marios cap back, and its as simple as going to the level Mario lost. But having just completed the game to 100% recently (in Mario 3D All-Stars), there are definitely some levels I like more than others. Super Mario 64 is one of the most poplar Mario games, if not the most. In my opinion all of the worlds in the game are pretty delightful and have at least some strengths. It’s what makes Mario 64 one of the best N64 games of all time, and a joy to play today! But let’s talk ranking the Mario 64 courses. Most importantly, the courses are just FUN and comforting. Despite its age, Mario 64 remains a prime example of excellent 3D level design! Its stages are just the right size, allow for a lot of freedom of movement, and are full of plenty of secrets and shortcuts.
