The games toward the top of this list are the ones that we feel have the best combination of those three criteria, while the ones towards the bottom, or the ones that didn't make the cut, might be strong in one of those aspects, but lacking in the others. Second, we tried to consider a number of factors, including historical significance, how good it looked and played at the time, in addition to how well it holds up today, y’know, just in case you’re still able to dig your old N64 out of the closet. First, while we didn't have a hard rule on only including games that were exclusive to the Nintendo 64, we also didn’t want to include games that are just simply better on other platforms of that era, like Resident Evil 2 and Rayman 2. The manual does state that "the monsters will soon begin to overflow from inside the painting", which could be an explanation of why the in-game elements exist outside the castle on the artwork - but this never happens in the game, all the enemies encountered in the game take place inside the castle walls.In the latest update of our Top N64 Games list, originally written more than 21 years ago, we continue to celebrate the N64 games that have left the biggest mark not just on our lives, but on the industry as a whole.Īs always with any kind of list like this, it’s important to establish our criteria to explain as best as we can why some games made the list and others didn’t. Since Bowser's world is only inside the castle walls, it isn't possible for elements of this world to be outside of the castle walls as depicted in the artwork. Since the courses of Super Mario 64 are contained inside the paintings (and other areas) of the castle are Bowser's creation - this means it would not make any sense for Princess Peach's castle to co-exist with areas that are essentially in a "fake" world that only exists inside the castle itself. Toad telling you that Bowser created his own world inside the paintings Super Mario 64 plot explained from the manual (Source: ) It isn't all wrong though, a Boo is depicted next to the castle, and this is accurate since Boos are lurking around in the courtyard, however there are no Goombas roaming around outside the castle - another error. Remember how warp paintings are used as a method of transport to different courses? The "world" that we encounter within the game's courses are actually creations of Bowser, as explained in the Super Mario 64 instruction booklet, and also by Toads that you speak to inside the castle will also say that it is a world that Bowser created with the power of the stars. Princess Peach's castle is prominently featured on the top of the "world", one side of the world has a snowy area with the blue penguins (which we see in Cool, Cool Mountain and Snowman's Land), the remaining visible side has a Pokey and Bob-omb with a palm tree - implying this is probably Shifting Sand Land, the only course where Pokeys appear.īut, wait, think about it for a moment. Peach's castle can't possibly co-exist in the same "world" as in-game elements as they are actually contained within the castle itself in paintings But in Super Mario 64 he isn't travelling the world at all, all the action takes place within the castle walls. If you look at the artwork as depicted of this world - it would strongly imply that Mario is travelling the world to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, similar to how he does in Super Mario Odyssey. The North American box art only features the top part of this globe on the front (though the penguins can be visible on the side of the box), whereas the Japanese one features the entire globe logo more prominently on the front cover. Take a look at this Super Mario 64 logo - it is a "globe" with some in-game elements that is featured in the game's box art. ![]() It turns out there's a mistake in the Super Mario 64 logo that few might have noticed. We're seeing a load of Super Mario 64 content right now, but there's something interesting that I noticed recently. With the arrival of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, we are re-introduced once again to Super Mario 64. Super Mario 64 Box Art "Globe" Logo Mistake Explained ![]()
