Super Mario 64 was one of the first great next generation games. It was the first game I bought with
my Nintendo 64 and also one of the best. It had 3D platforming elements that are still used even to this day. The object of the game was to go through Princess Toadstool's castle and search for hidden stars that could be used to unlock new areas. Eventually
you would reach Bowser and fight him in order to rescue the Princess. After Bowser is defeated everyone is safe and happy. It gets the number 1 spot on my list
for being a great game in it's own time and also still a great game to this day.
