Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 is a 3D platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It was released in 1996 and became the first mainline Mario game to use fully three-dimensional environments. The game follows Mario as he explores Princess Peach's Castle and enters magical worlds hidden behind paintings in an effort to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser.
