Super Mario 64 came out in 1996 and, was the first successful Mario game that that had a 3-d look to it. This game was extremely revolutionary for its time. That is why It became so popular. This was the top selling game on the 64. The game was so popular you can find a download version on the Wii and they made a version with more levels and characters for the DS.

This game does have the same normal story line, that Bowser has taken Princesses Peach and Mario has to rescue her. Between levels you will be in the castle, you jump into a painting to get to the level you want. There are six different objectives for each level (seven in DS and other charecters too), which you will need to unlock doors to visit new levels. This game has a lot built in to it. That is why it was so succesful. ( http://cheats.ign.com/ob2/068/000/000606.html )

This game is a great game to pick up if you are looking for one. 64 games are cheap, the download versions probaly only a little more, and the DS versions sould not be too bad. Even after getting thourgh the story mode there is many more stars that can be unlocked. This is a great game to get. You should look for a copy.
