Wish I played Mario 64 when it first came out; playing its bare-bones port on 3D all-stars just shows how dated this is and how much it could have used some tweaking to make it playable all these years later- mostly the camera, but Mario’s controls too. But there’s still a great platforming game here, such a huge leap into the third dimension for Mario and for video games in general.

Yeah this is a prime example to me of respecting a game more than enjoying it (see also: original Legend of Zelda)
