Mario’s first foray into the world of 3D arrived in the form of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64 tasked players with heading to Princess Peach’s castle to save her from Bowser, who has taken control and locked Power Stars behind magical worlds within the castle’s paintings. Revolutionizing the gameplay of a platformer and what an open-ended adventure could be like, the game allows players to tackle levels (or courses) as they like, navigating levels such as a floating tower, a sunken ship, and a boiling volcano as they run, jump, and backflip their way to save the Mushroom Kingdom once again.
