Super Mario 64 is crunchy, borderline-unplayable, polygonal garbage. Don't believe me? Go play Sunshine, Galaxy 1 and 2, 3D World, and Odyssey... then go play that. It was a prototype they went ahead and sold.

But it's literally the one that set the foundation for all the ones you named. Without 64, none of the others would exist.

Yeah it doesn't hold up great now, 27 years after it's release. But at the time it was revolutionary and set the standard for 3D platforming.

I had just graduated high school when it came out. It was garbage then too. Games like that are why games like Symphony of the Night were so popular at the time: 2D was still waaaaaay better.

Ahhh that makes sense. You were at your dumbest and edgiest phase.

No, just past the age where nostalgia gets in the way of a critical eye. Like I said, 90s kids would be enthralled by a 3D Mario. 80s kids just want Super Mario World back.
