Driving Game from Nintendo
The original 3D platformer to appear for the N64. It did much to showcase the potential of the new machine. Mario must rescue Princess Peach from evil Bowser's clutches. In order to do this he must explore a vast world and collect 120 'Power Stars'. This involves not only surviving the attacks of the many enemies populating the levels but completing particular challenges. The challenges are varied, including races and reuniting a lost baby penguin with its mother! Mario is not limited to traveling on foot, he can also swim and fly. | The game is structured around a central hub; the castle and its locale. Levels are accessed via portals. As you'd expect from a Mario game, the level design is ingenious and the world is bright and colorful. Many of the creatures are familiar from the previous games. The game employs good 3D graphics and some cool visual effects. Cartoon-style sound effects and music accompany play.
