The first well made three dimensional platformer of it's day Super Mario 64 still ranks among the genre's finest. Perhaps its a sad commentary on the once dominant game-type but Mario's seminal 3D game still holds up to this day-provided you don't attempt to play it using the DS' stylus pen: increasingly rare DS thumb-strap for the win! Not to worry though if you managed to snag a Nintendo Wii you can set aside your GI Joe esque Kung-fu grip and use either your wavebird or classic pad to experience SM64 the way it was meant to be played.
