About this game

Super Mario 64 is a single-player 3D platform game in which players guide Mario through Princess Peach’s castle and its magical worlds in an attempt to rescue her from Bowser.

When Mario arrives at the castle after receiving Peach’s invitation, he finds her missing, the castle overtaken by Bowser, and the Toads trapped by his spell.

To break Bowser’s control and free Peach, Mario must explore the castle’s many paintings, which act as portals to different worlds, and collect Power Stars hidden within them.

Unlike earlier side-scrolling Mario games, this installment is set in fully three-dimensional environments.

Each course is built around objectives tied to Power Stars, such as defeating bosses, completing timed challenges, or solving environmental puzzles.

Levels can be revisited multiple times, often with new areas opening once Mario gains new abilities or items.

Progression through the castle requires collecting enough Stars to unlock doors and access new wings of the castle, with three major encounters against Bowser determining Mario’s advancement to the final showdown.

Mario’s movement set is greatly expanded compared to earlier games.

In addition to running and standard jumping, he can crouch, crawl, climb, and punch or kick enemies.

Advanced maneuvers such as double jumps, triple jumps, long jumps, wall kicks, and backflips are essential to reach hidden areas or complete challenges.

Swimming requires careful management of Mario’s air supply, and some levels feature puzzles that involve carrying items or interacting with switches to advance.

Several power-ups appear in special hidden blocks throughout the game.

The Wing Cap allows Mario to soar through the air when launched from a cannon, the Metal Cap makes him invulnerable and able to walk underwater, and the Vanish Cap lets him phase through certain barriers.

These power-ups are temporary but often required to access Stars in specific courses.

Later versions of the game introduced new features.

About Nintendo 64

The Nintendo 64 (1996) stuck with cartridges after most competitors moved to CDs, trading longer load times for near-instant game access and durability that's held up well over nearly three decades. N64 cartridges are largely intact and functional today, and while common titles are affordable, several late-release and multiplayer-focused games with smaller print runs have become firmly established as valuable collector pieces.

Gamevaro tracks Super Mario 64 [Nintendo 64DD] for Nintendo 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Super Mario 64 [Nintendo 64DD], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 64 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
