Going through the castle, I was paying attention to the graphics of the game. Although they weren't good as opposed to the current games such as Gears of War, the graphics were great for its time. The game gives a feel of a basic 3d castle and that's enough to draw me into the game instead of turning it down.
I was to create a videogame, this game has inspired me. Setting a standard for other games to follow is something that I want to do and I feel Super Mario 64 did just that for 3d games. Although the game isn't perfect, just giving a basic frame for others to expand on really reaches out to me.
The freedom this game allows also draws me towards it. While playing, I had fun being able to go to a world and do whatever you want (although you complete tasks for stars).
All in all, I liked Super Mario 64 for it's originality and courage for stepping into a type of game that the franchise never was a part of before.

In my opinion, Super Mario 64 is one of the best Nintendo 64 games to be created. In the game, you control Mario through various instances in Peach's castle while trying to save her from Bowser. The story is very typical of any Super Mario game but its the other elements in this game that make it stand out from the rest.
Nintendo's decision of having Mario enter the 3-D world has what makes this game shine. In the older version of Mario games such as Super Mario Brothers, Mario was only able to jump, run from left and right, and other basic moves in comparison to Super Mario 64. Being able to double jump, turn metal, and swim are just some of the features that brings audience to love Super Mario 64.
The stars also added more depth to the game. Usually, after the story of the game is over, the player will quit playing the game; however, being able to search for 120 stars in the game make the player want to continue until he has reached a hundred percent.
I decided to play through the beginning of the game again. I went to the first level where you have to fight the big bom-omb at the top of the stage. Talking from when I first played Super Mario 64 years ago, it was fun playing through the game and defeating bosses such as bom-omb because it gave people something different and unique. My next log will talk about roaming around the castle and the graphics of Super Mario 64.
