Gamelog entry 2
Gameplay
The more I play this game, the more frustrated I get. I keep getting stuck on certain levels.... the ones w/ lava or in the sky. Also the occasional glitch is highly frustrating, getting stuck in walls and having to reset, or falling through floors that you should have clearly been able to land on.
This game is such a classic game that everyone who plays video games seems to have had a Super Mario phase. A friend of mine came over one day and beat the whole game that day, granted he used secret paths and techniques, but regardles it still required some impressive play.
Design
One thing that is done very well in this game is the obstacles that require impeccable timing. From a design standpoint, it impresses me, because it is so creative and precisely choreographed. From the players standpoint its frustrating though, because it is so difficult.
I wish that the two player mode was done differently. I would like to see the two players on screen at the same time when in the levels, not only when on the map. I think this would make it more fun and create a better social dynamic between the players.

Super Mario for Nintendo 64 is the kind of game that stays on the TV screen for a long period of time with sporadic spans of gameplay and progression occurring. We, my housemates and I, have been slowly progressing through the game always having to go back to certain levels to earn extra lives. The vast expanse of levels makes this game an epic excursion. The more you play the better you get, all the opponents are on set paths, so you can began to predict where the opponents are going to be.
This game continues to be exciting to play, because while different people play they teach and show you where new hidden levels are located. That is one of the funnest aspects of the game to me. Every where I go I am looking for hidden levels or items, the exploration and discovery aspect is highly intriguing.
