Nintendo website (Wii) / Wii Shop Channel

The first great 3D platformer goes Virtual.
On a bright, sunny day in Mushroom Kingdom, Mario goes to visit the princess, but finds her castle eerily empty. Leaping through pictures hanging from the walls, he enters 15 magical worlds in a quest to collect the 120 Power Stars pilfered by evil Bowser and save the day. The game's vast worlds teem with daunting obstacle courses, hidden items, puzzles and more than 30 types of enemies. Take advantage of Mario's large selection of moves, including running, jumping, swimming, stomping, and punching, and even performing a backward somersault! Special caps give him short-lived powers, including the ability to fly. Super Mario 64 features unmatched camera control that makes adventuring in its 3-D world a snap, even for newcomers.

My Nintendo website

Download and play Super Mario 64 on your Wii U console. Originally released on the Nintendo 64 system, this was the first Super Mario game with a 3D world. Master Mario's actions in 3D and collect the Power Stars!

Story

The game begins with a letter from Princess Peach inviting Mario to come to her castle for some cake. He arrives to find that Bowser has taken over the castle and imprisoned the princess. In order to regain control of the castle and rescue Peach, Mario must collect the Power Stars that Bowser has hidden throughout the castle.

Gameplay

Super Mario 64 is a 3D platformer in which players play as Mario, with the ability to roam freely in all directions within the area's confines. Princess Peach's Castle acts as the main hub world, from which levels can be accessed. The game features 15 main levels in which the goal is to collect stars in order to open new rooms in the castle. Stars are obtained through various means, usually using Mario's abilities, such as punching, jumping, and running, to fulfill the requirements for gaining stars in each level. Requirements include fighting bosses, winning races, or simply reaching the location of the star. In some levels, Mario must use power-ups in the process of obtaining stars. In addition to the main 15 levels, there are some smaller, hidden levels that contain fewer stars, and a few stars are hidden around the castle.

-*There is no rumble support anymore (as the IQP doesn't have that functionality).
-*If VI_CONTROL_REG IQP bit 3 is on, video is corrupted ([[Ukikipedia]] believes this is to counter piracy).
-*EEPROM is no longer used by the IQP (flash memory from the iQue is used instead), so the game is patched to address that.
-*iQue own part of the copyright to the Shindō Pak Taiō Version, so there is a new copyright notice for iQue (©2003 iQue). Furthermore, the original Nintendo notice extends further to 2003; "©1996-1997 Nintendo" is now "©1996, 2003 Nintendo".
