    64 Stars!

    In everyone's favorite "save-the-princess" series," Mario jumps into action again in his most popular game! Introducing a whole new kind of game-play, the player experiences new worlds and new villains in an amazing
    3D environments that are so lovable they're impassible. The wonderful music improves the already perfect scenery, and can possibly make up for the wonky camera. Mario also has many new moves and tricks up his sleeve that made their own ways into various other 2D/3D Mario games.

It's a game like Super Mario 64 that makes the Nintendo 64 quite possibly of of, if not the greatest gaming consoles ever made.
