Nintendo released it in Japan on June 23, 1996, and later in North America, Europe, and Australia. Along with Pilotwings 64, Super Mario 64 was one of the launch games for Nintendo 64.

A multiplayer mode featuring Luigi as a playable character was planned but cut. The visuals were created using the Nichimen N-World toolkit and Miyamoto aimed to include more details than earlier games.

Super Mario 64’s development, handled by Nintendo EAD, lasted approximately three years one was spent on designing while the next two on direct work. Producer/director and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto conceived a 3D Mario game during the production of Star Fox (1993). It preserves many gameplay elements and characters of earlier Mario games as well as the visual style. It emphasizes exploration within vast worlds, which requires the player to complete various missions in addition to the occasional linear obstacle courses (as in traditional platform games). Super Mario 64 features open-world playability, degrees of freedom through all three axes in space, and relatively large areas which are composed primarily of true 3D polygons as opposed to only two-dimensional (2D) sprites. As Mario, the player explores Princess Peach’s castle and must rescue her from Bowser. Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game for the Nintendo 64 and the first in the Super Mario series to feature three-dimensional (3D) gameplay. Super Mario 64 PC Full Version Free Download
