Mario 64 was better because it brought a new 3d open world which had never been done in platformers before

Some gems can act as platforms to help you get across areas that are impossible to reach, much like the vine in Super Mario Bros

The first thing that stands out are the graphics, the graphics for 1996 looked fantastic, they were even better than Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 which was released a month later

It had a very linear type of progression but it was not too unlike Super Mario World with the coin shaped levels on the overworld map

Super Mario 64 may have been the innovator of 3D Platforming, but Crash Bandicoot blows that out of the water and into space

Attack moves include jumping in the air and landing on an enemy or using a spin move in a tornado fashion to knock enemies off-screen, I like that, even if it’s a rip-off of Super Mario World

You can get more one ups by finding them across levels or collecting 100 apples which are basically the coins of Super Mario Bros, but the apples are everywhere in this

The boxes are also a rip-off of Super Mario Bros. in which they have question marks on them and you have to destroy the boxes to gain prizes

I favor him over Sonic the Hedgehog, and even Mario!

Mario's fun, but his games are too confusing and slightly boring, not to mention frustrating.

When you already have the best (Mario and Sonic) you don't need imitations

Nasty difficulty spikes (the eight or so level should be closer to the end) and the 'one path to the end of a platformer' standard which Super Mario World truely broke when it came out take the one star out of this otherwise superb game

If you get three masks without losing one, you turn invincible for a brief time much like the Starman’s in Super Mario Bros

Back when the Sony Playstation and Nintendo 64 were first released, people were getting all excited over Super Mario 64 in 1996.
