Super Mario 64 is a 1996 N64 video game developed by Nintendo EAD and released by Nintendo of America in the USA on September 26, 1996. Mario is super in a whole new way! Combining the finest 3D graphics ever developed for a video game and an explosive soundtrack, Super Mario 64 becomes a new standard for video games. It's packed with bruising battles, daunting obstacle courses and underwater adventures. Retrieve the Power Stars from their hidden locations and confront your arch nemesis -- Bowser, King of the Koopas! -Run freely in a grassy meadow, tip-toe through a gloomy dungeon, climb to the top of a mountain or take a swim in the moat! -Leap head first into a watery painting and soon you'll be searching for the surface in an underwater realm! -On-the-fly, 3D rendered game play delivers the action of ruthless enemy attacks from every angle! -Find the Caps that give Mario super powers, ponder the mysteries of the pyramid, you can even race Koopas for fabulous prizes! -With the Nintendo 64 Controller and its analog Control Stick, Mario can crawl, kick down obstacles, swim, do reverse flips, and even stick the landing on his backwards somersault! -Saved game information is stored for up to four players in memory.
