Today’s game is Super Mario 64. I’ve done the First and got too the second bowser level. I took this screenshot while climbing up the stairs to the first battle. There’s something i love about these stairs and the bowser levels at large.

I also went to Jolly Roger Bay and tried to get that damn eel. I ended up drowning while trying to get to the surface and where i died was right before the top. It ended up looking like he was choking himself or drowning on air:

I also did the Penguin on the Snowy mountain. I think i can say i made everyone proud dropping it off the mountain (Though i took myself with it)

I also caught Mips and got this screenshot of him looking like his day was ruined. I surprisingly did it in record time and it only took me three attempts to catch the damn thing. I took him into Lethal Lava land with me shortly after this picture. I lost him while there but i imagine he’s still there.

    One of my all time favorites. There’s something special about the N64, these games were magical as a kid and a lot of them still hold up today.

    I used to play through Ocarina almost every year but it’s been about a decade and I started a playthrough last week. People have made some incredible progress on updating textures and such to make the game look more modern 👌

      I stopped playing consoles after my first Sega Mega Drive (most of the games I like work better on M+KB), but I’ve been meaning to try and play some N64 games in an emulator. And HD texture and quality mods would be a nice addition.

    People say this game has not aged well, I only partially agree with that. Ps2 was my first 3d game console and I played this game on the wii virtual console, and I was just amazed by it. So much so that I thought I should try other n64 games too, but was disappointed at how awfully all of them controlled. This game really did set the bar.

      I think the controls are one of the few things impacting its age. They’re difficult to get right on modern hardware with the One Stick design. Especially the Wii U gamepad. I played that version and Mario just did not control well for me. I don’t know what it was

      Tagging onto this. Has anyone tried to play Glover recently? That used to be one of my favorites as a kid and I keep thinking about emulating it.
