This new game gives Mario an exciting quest with lots of plot elements. Another interesting change from the original Mario games is that he can no longer breathe underwater.
He has to surface every once in a while. This is much more realistic than anything seen before. The graphics are composed of rendered texture-mapped polygons, which allows for the 3-D world. One particularly interesting level has an area where Mario must slide down a mountain to collect bonus coins.
The Ultra 64 controller is really put to the test here in order to keep our hero on course. Every button is used for some cool effect. Also new is the fact that for the first time ever, Mario can look up and down to see dangers from above and below. Remember that this game is just like real life now. Mario's new adventure pits him against his age-old adversary Bowser.
It seems like the evil turtle king has taken over yet another domain in the Mushroom Kingdom. As the levels progress, Mario finds out more about what Bowser's up to.
His henchmen are all over, with some interesting new opponents, like vicious penguins in the Ice World. Mario will find clues inside a submarine sunk deep beneath the ocean's waves, making for a challenging aquatic adventure.
Each level contains its own unique traps and pitfalls. Think the Thom blocks are deadly now? Just wait until you see one hovering over your head about to strike. Fortunately, Mario will acquire power-ups as well. Mario may get some of his older powers back like fireballs, but expect to find neat new tricks, like picking up enemies including Bowser.
Yes, that is how you defeat him--pick him up, twirl him by the tail and throw him off the platform. Check out the water screens on this page. Look carefully. Not only is the water translucent but you can see the Mario-eating fish starting to circle him. Mario's come a long way since his first appearance in Donkey Kong.
This version of the game will bring excitement to the players in the same way the very first Mario adventure did--with spectacular animation, challenging gameplay and most important of all We can't wait to see more! In the three years since Mario made his first appearance as a polygon hero, a dayglo 3-D render dropped into an SGI urban cityscape, Miyamoto and friends have demolished architectural reality and built a whole new Mario World around him.
Previous Mario games have been extraordinary enough, Super Mario World 's title betray its ambitions, but despite its levels, varied levels and innovative game design it remains plainly stuck within a highly artificial, 2-D environment. Only now, with revolutionary bit hardware, has Miyamoto's ambitions as a creator of worlds truly come true.
Even before it's a game, Super Mario 64 is a breathtaking, entirely 3-D environment of astonishing imagination. The game begins, instantly in true cart fashion, with the Super Mario 64 logo springing onto the screen accompanied by a rare speech sample: "It's me, Mario! As a star circles around his head, Mario's eyes follow, his whole face mobile with varying expressions.
It's a demo truly worthy of an SGI workstation. Press Start and you get a choice of four save game slots, all on the cart itself- not the joypad memory system. Click past this and an intro begins with a 3-D rendered close-up of Princess 'Peach' Toadstool, again unhappily awaiting rescue by her Italian chum.
She then fades away into the sky, replaced by Lakitu floating atop a cloud with camera in hand. He whizzes about the castle ahead, swooping under the bridge and over the beautifully translucent water, pulling you into the game without wasting any memory on FMV - the graphics are all real-time, even if they do look workstation quality. Lakitu's final pass ends with a familiar green pipe emerging from the ground, out of which springs Mario.
Lakitu now becomes simply a game option: there are two basic views:Mario which basically follows behind our hero and Lakitu which is more free floating. The freedom of choice is initially overwhelming, but at this early stage you can go with almost anything - the intelligent camera usually provides a usable perspective. Wherever you look in Mario, the game looks good, and sounds good. Although initially there's no musk, woodland sound effects are crystal clear and brilliantly create an involving atmosphere.
As Mario stares ahead at the castle which, Tardis-like contains all the game's huge levels, butterflies flutter around his head with dreamlike realism. Standing still, Mario's head turns from side to side and his body heaves as if slightly breathless. To move Mario, you use the central analogue joystick. Although this moves freely in all directions, an octagonal surround provides a familiar eight-position template.
Most of the time, you simply push as far and as fast as possible, making Mario sprint with surprising speed -especially considering how this huge Gouraud-shaded, mip-mapped 3-D environment moves in perfect lockstep.
Almost instinctively, you'll set Mario running in huge looping circles, spinning the world around with breath-taking ease, powder puffs of dust rising at Mario's feet. If you push more gently, Mario simply walks, by pressing the trigger button you can even make him crawl. The two main action buttons, green and blue make him punch and leap - use the trigger button while leaping and he does a bottom bounce.
You can also use the green button to turn a leap into an Olympic dive if you're really desperate to get somewhere. This is, of course,just scratching the surface of Mario's abilities.
Walk off to the right and you'll see a line of trees. As you approach, a flock of birds fly off the trees, their plaintive tweets proving far more evocative than any CD rock soundtrack. Accompanying the bird song, there's the sound of rushing water which intensifies as you approach a nicely animated waterfall. Leap over the guard-rail and you dive into the the water. Simply lying in the water gives you an opportunity to admire the blue, semi- transparent water which gently undulates as the current gently carries you forward.
What other software house would bother with such fine detail? Dive down and the surface of the water pans up, then disappears. While losing the blue overlay Is a little bizarre, it neatly denotes the transition between swimming on the surface and diving into the underwater environment. Pressing the jump button gives a small, slow stroke while the punch button provides more energetic movement.
The moat proves to be as full of life as the trees, with schools of fish scooting about. Everything outside the castle is harmless, but it serves to generate a sense of being in a surreal world, complete with its own ecosystem, rather than simply another banal gamescape, where everything is locked into a rigid game design.
While there's plenty of hatches and even a door underwater, there doesn't seem any easy way to open them. Moreover, the more observant will notice the appearance of a Power Dial at the top of the screen. This monitors Mario's air supply - stay down too long and the plumber drowns. This dial also appears when Mario gets hit or caught in an explosion, warning of draining energy - which can be restored by collecting coins.
After climbing out of the water, you can walk around and finally enter the castle. A toadstool stands in a comer, one of a legion of friends, signposts and framed message providing advice in short, bite-sized chunks of text. Initially, all but one of the game's courses are locked. The one exception is up on the left Walk though the door and you enter a boring grey room with a picture of a bomb.
What do you do now? Why leap through, with the picture's surface rippling In a way previously only possible on workstation demos. A screen appears, showing how many stars you can collect, but you can press by that and be, instantly, in a new world Friendly pink bombs amble around a lush green plateau with a cannon. A wooden bridge stretches off into the distance, virtually harmless lump-like creatures, called Goombahs, wander about to let you practice bottom - bouncing - rather more difficult in 3-D than 2-D, but to compensate the collision detection has been set on the generous side.
On every level, the objective is to recover stars - there are a in all - and one star is quickly found, locked behind bars! To reach it, you must free Chain Chomp - a huge black ball with snapping steel teeth. Chained to a wooden post he's furious and will attack as you try to rescue him. Bottom-bouncing the post into the ground sounds easy, but with Chain Chomp circling about and the all intricacies of a 3-D perspective it's tricky.
The control system which makes such a hugely ambitious 3-D landscape so much fun isn't, initially, as instinctive as you'd like under pressure to be quick and accurate. If you quickly try the game in a shop, even walking across a bridge can seem difficult with the panning camera angles, the diagonal motion and Mario's speed when running. With practice, however, it soon becomes instinctive and beyond Chain Chomp, Nintendo have thoughtfully arranged a field packed with wooden posts and Goombahs for you to practice with.
If that seems a bit boring, carry on and you'll find yourself at the foot of a mountain with huge cannonballs merrily rolling down the track which circles up to the top. Running up the mountain, while leaping over the cannonballs is excellent fun. Typical of the thoughtfulness of the design, the cannonballs don't simply follow a groove but randomly roll about to complicate things further.
Reach the top of the hill and the King of Ka-Boom awaits. After a brief text message, battle begins. Combat is a form of 3-D wrestling, your objective is to circle around behind King Bob-omb, grab a leg and throw him: three times to finish him off.
His objective Is to grab you leg, flinging you off the mountain top to reset his energy and drain yours - although there is an energy star nearby. Defeating the Bomb King gives you a star and ends the level, bringing up a save option. You can now try another door, or leap back through the picture to find the landscape subtly changed with a new level of challenge. There are 15 exceptionally varied game worlds in all, each with seven stars, plus a wealth of secret levels and three dramatically different confrontations with Bowser.
Although there are stars in total, you can rescue Princess Toadstool with just 70 - bypassing entire worlds if you want Freedom is the principal characteristic of the game, the structure is incredibly nonlinear, giving players a huge choice of how and where they collect stars.
Although some levels resemble a 2-D platformer stretched out into 3-D, most are fully formed world-lets which you can freely explore in any direction, the various leaps and hazards perfectly integrated into realistic landscapes. This freedom of movement is matched by the camera - In this game setting your camera angle can be as important as timing a leap.
Compared to 2-D Mario games, this is a markedly more sophisticated game. Mastering the controls and camera system is more complicated, but the environment is so much more realistic and involving it's unlikely anyone will lament the change. Nintendo embrace of 3-D gaming is so comprehensive, so well thought-out that it marks the biggest advance in game design since the business began.
Moreover, the variety and scale of this ground-breaking title - all crammed into a mere 12MB cart - dwarves anything yet seen on the CD superconsoles. The sheer scale of the achievement, in originality; variety and technological muscle earns it a 'Best Game Ever' acclamation through sheer muscle, almost regardless of Its undoubted and typically Nintendo artistry. To give you some idea of just how magnificent Super Mario 64 is, we've provided a complete solution to Course One, a partial solution to the first Bowser confrontation, plus mini-descriptions of all the major courses up to fifteen.
There's also a full description of the first power-up location, and brief descriptions of the remaining two power-ups. Even this wealth of information only scratches the surface of this immense game: remember, there's seven Stars to find on each Course, with progressively more sophisticated puzzles to test Mario's hugely varied abilities.
There's also numerous secrets Including bonus levels with a further 15 Stars. Description: This course is dominated by Big Bob-omb's mountain, a large, squat peak at the western tip of a large green field.
A spiralling track to its summit is distinguished by huge cannonballs rolling down it. Big Bob-omb stands on the summit. Guide: You begin the Course on a dirt track which should be followed over two wooden bridges the second acts like a see-saw!
Climb up the stone steps, then turn right and go through a gap in a metal fence. Watch out for rolling cannonballs and gaps in the track. If you do get hit, there's a transparent heart half-way up the mountain which will restore full energy.
