Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 is a 3D platformer game released in 1996 for the Nintendo 64. It was also one of three launch titles for the Nintendo 64. Since its release, Super Mario 64 has been widely acclaimed as one of the greatest games ever released due to it's inclusion of Big Chungus.

Super Mario 64 was the first 3D Mario game ever released, with its initial concept dating back to 1993. Super Mario 64 2 was planned but cancelled after the system it would've launched on, the Nintendo 64DD failed in sales.

Recently, the game has received lots of attention for its interesting content found in the 2020 Gigaleak and the discovery that every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized.

Super Mario 64 starts with a letter from Princess Toadstool/Peach to Mario. "Dear Mario, please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly, Princess Toadstool."

Mario is so excited to receive an invitation from the Princess, so he dresses his best and leaves quickly.

When Mario reaches the castle, he realizes everything is strangely quiet. Shaking off any uneasy feelings, he walks into the castle, where he is greeted by a familiar voice. "No one's home! Now scram! Bwa, ha, ha!"

Mario begins searching the entire castle, but all doors are locked but one. He peeks inside, seeing the largest paintings he's ever seen with the strangest sounds coming from behind it.

Without another thought, Mario jumps into the painting goes inside it. Suddenly, another world opens before his very eyes.

And so begins the grandest of all your adventures!
