"SMELL THE
MOUS
TACHE!"
Rick, Flux, and Cylon dive into Super Mario 64 as part of their stream covering Super Mario 3D All-Stars, revisiting one of Rick’s most cherished childhood games. While Rick’s nostalgia is undeniable, the crew doesn’t hold back when it comes to roasting the quirks of this N64 classic now played on the Switch. From Mario’s occasionally uncooperative camera to the somewhat dated visuals, the trio finds plenty of material for their signature wit.
Rick tries to defend the game’s legacy, but Flux and Cylon gleefully poke holes in its crown, with Flux questioning Mario’s physics and Cylon riffing on the blocky character models. Despite the critiques, it’s clear that Super Mario 64 still has a certain charm—even if it’s wrapped in some very 1996 design choices.
This lighthearted look at Super Mario 64 combines nostalgia, humor, and some serious questions about how well the game holds up in modern times. Whether you’re a fan of the original or curious about how it fares in 3D All-Stars, this segment is a hilarious and honest trip down memory lane.
GAME BIO:
Super Mario 64 is one of the most influential 3D platformers of all time, originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1996 and later remastered as part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the Nintendo Switch in 2020. Players take on the role of Mario, who must navigate Princess Peach’s Castle and its many magical paintings to collect Power Stars and defeat Bowser.
With its innovative analog controls, open-ended level design, and charming worlds, Super Mario 64 laid the foundation for modern 3D platforming. The 3D All-Stars version features updated visuals, a higher resolution, and smoother performance, making it the definitive way to experience this classic—even if the camera is still a chaotic nightmare.
