Super Mario 64 / Playable hero
Mario
Playable hero · Mushroom Kingdom
Mario arrives at Peach’s Castle after receiving an invitation, but Bowser has taken control and hidden Power Stars in the painting worlds. The castle becomes the starting point for learning movement, finding courses and recovering the stars that open further doors.
- Story: Recovering stars opens more of the castle and leads to three Bowser encounters. Secret rooms, cap courses and resident rewards form a collection alongside the fifteen main courses.
- In the game: Practise long jumps, backflips and side somersaults in the grounds, and settle the camera before narrow landings. His movement and temporary cap effects provide route solutions.

From the game
Pictures made from the Super Mario 64 (USA) game data: characters, enemies and items are drawn from their own 3D models, posed with a frame of one of their own animations; courses are drawn from their level geometry with their objects in front of their own sky. They are rendered without the game’s fog, shadows or moving water textures, so they look a little cleaner than on the console.
