"When an eel lunges out" "Unagi?!" "*lower pitched godzilla roar*" "That's amoray~! Get it? A moray eel? I said a funny!" "Fuck you!" Easily the best moment of this review.
Well, then again, unlike Super Mario 64, at least in Donkey Kong 64, you don't lose the collectibles you've gathered if you die in a level, you actually keep them. The game doesn't punish you that way.
Eh, I still do enjoy the game. But this is coming from a guy who grew up with collect-a-thons, such as the two aforementioned games and the Banjo-Kazooie series.
+Hylian Alchemist Thats fair. I dont hate DK64, but I dont know if I could call it a bad game. Im not a fan of collectathons anyway, so it could be a bias.
2:50 Wow. It’s crazy that Charles stepped down as the voice of Mario and friends latterly one day after I left the film studio that I was a part of. I hope that he finds success in his next chapters.
It's much MUCH harder to notice when playing on the N64 as opposed to any other platform. Mario doesn't switch to his low-poly model until he's too small to render in detail with the N64's low resolution. By the time he's far away enough to switch models, he's already just an indistinguishable handful of pixels. It's only noticeable when you're playing on an emulator, like the virtual console or a PC emulator, that you can clearly see Mario's lower-poly model thanks to the higher resolution.
cb2198 Not the case with sprite flicker. You could definitely see the effect on CRTs, albeit a bit muted compared to newer TVs. In many games, it's intentionally used to give certain sprites the illusion of transparency. The only time sprite flicker doesn't show itself properly is when recordings are running at a frame rate lower than the game itself.
Why?!? Wall jumping is probably on of Mario's easiest 2d and 3d moves to pull off. Don't meant to be mean but, it just wasn't that hard for me to pull off.
This is my favorite 3D Mario game. It's so simple, yet speaks volumes. The jump to 3D was moreso a jump, skip and long jump into a portal. The characters were all memorable, the music is fantastic, the levels all had their own unique charm and the infamous "So long, Sir/You/Gay Bowser!" It's classic! I've beaten this game so many times, I've lost count. And I could pick it up right now and collect all 120 Power Stars again with no hesitation. It's simply perfect, in my eyes. Great review, Johnny!
After hearing Charles Martinet is retiring from voice acting, I came straight back to this video. Johnny: If for whatever reason Charles would leave his role as Mario, the next guy would probably just do his best to simulate Martinet's voice. PlatformChef: We will find out soon enough when Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes out.
Honestly, it's not THAT hard to find someone else to do an over-the-top high pitched italian accent. It just...won't be the same wothout him. Honestly, his voice started sounding raspy in MK8, so I think his age is really taking a toll...

Is it bad Sunshine is my favourite single-player platformer? (Multiplayer might goes to 3d World). I loved the vacation theme and actually liked the voice acting. I'd be all for a sequel that irons out its flaws, with possible multiplayer and a fleshed out story. But Sunshine really tried to do something different.
Sunshine was great. I liked it better than 64. And yes, I played 64 first. I like Galaxy 1, 2 and 3D World were better than Sunshine IMO but, I'd play Sunshine over 3D Land.
awesomeguy2009 well it kinda depends. The 64 is much smother but it is kinda dated. The ds version looks better, and has more to do, but like johnny said, the control is still kinda stiff, even on the 3ds. So it depends on if u would like less to do, but a smother control. Or more to do, and r ok with controls that r kinda stiff.
I liked Sunshine. Honestly I can agree with people that Sunshine is kinda bullshit for completions sake, but honestly. It's so much more interesting than Mario 64's levels. In a Mario 64 level I feel more like I'm going through a level where in Sunshine I am more pulled in by the level. I think the fact that Isle Delfino was the Hub World was a bad and good idea. Good in the sense that it was neat to explore and find hidden things, bad in the sense that you shouldn't be getting Shine Sprites from the inhabitants. Shines hidden in the town, fine, being given to you by Piantas? Inexcusable.
Agreed, plus the fact you buy them with blue coins was always really weird to me. I just loved how all the main characters were more developed in this game, you felt that they were really all in this together when they moved around town (and let's be honest, you were the only one with F.L.U.D.D to clean the town). It also would have been nice to have FLUDD be earned through the story, rather than just sitting on the floor at the start of the game. Even so, the music, theme, levels and so forth were things I loved. They even changed the common enemies like Boos, Bullet Bills, Bob-ombs, Koopas, etc. To show you weren't in the Mushroom Kingdom and they were different species for a more tropic setting (yet Galaxy had the same designs even though it was in space).
Yeah, buying the Shine Sprites shouldn't have been something you had to do, in fact the blue coins basically don't even need to exist. I know people argue that games have pointless collectables, well the blue coins are a collectible that shouldn't have a point. What would have been cool is if you could use blue coins for upgrades to F.L.U.D.D. And that the Fludd attachments were instead switchable instead of having to find them in the levels. Less situational than the hats in Mario 64, but still fairly situational. I feel like Galaxy is just riding off the, space gravity gimmick. Don't get me wrong, Galaxy is fun, but I spend half of the time in a level just being launched to and from planets. The area's a nice to look at, but I don't feel like there's any need to explore. And if you've ever played it with a second player the game gets really easy cause the second player can essentially just freeze enemies.
Super Mario 64 was my childhood for me. It was the first game along with Mario Kart 64 the family received with the Nintendo 64. At first, I didn't respect too well, but not too long after receiving the game. I respected it and tried to complete it after I finished the game. Problem was I would play other games and when I returned, I came to find out my file was deleted. Dire Dire Docks is one of my favorite Mario of all times. So many good memories with this one. The original N64 cartridge will always be the definitive version for me as the DS version felt like the gimmicks were shoehorned in.
This game was the perfect mix of challenge, fun, and creepiness. I played it when I was younger and I got this sense of the danger Mario was in. I mean those creepy paintings that he has to go through, the practically empty castle - save the toads and the ghosts, and everything is basically out to get you. And I loved every minute. The minigames were also a marvelous addition.
N64 version wins in terms of controls and audio quality, and DS version wins in terms of graphics and bonus content. Ultimately though, I like both versions equally.
Very good review of Mario 64. I knew there were parts about the game that made me feel uneasy about it, and you hit the nail on the head for all of those points. You're also about to review my all time favorite Mario game. I look forward to what you have to review. Even if it is my favorite, I take note of it's flaws as well. Can't wait, Johnny! Also congrats on getting YT verified. :)
I will always respect Super Mario 64 for what it did for the franchise, but I would play any 3D Mario game except 3D Land over 64, as well as Super Mario World. I don't see it as a bad game, but more of an old classic, that was indeed a good game at launch, but has gained issues because later games improved, not because it was bad. I feel the same about Pokemon Red and Blue, as well as Ocarina Of Time. Not bad games, but old classics that have been improved upon since release.
My heart goes out to Johnny for inevitably 100% clearing Sunshine when he plays it. The blue coins are always far worse than you think they're going to be. ;_;
Ha! Decided to rewatch this after the Super Mario 3D All-Stars announcement, and I got an ad for that very game. Speaking of which, I wonder if they’ve added full camera control to the Switch version since it has two analogue sticks compared to the N64’s one. Time will tell...

+Hylian Alchemist True, but thats like one positive aspect next to a boatload of negatives. DK64 is tedious in a way thats far above M64.

+Hylian Alchemist Thats fair. I dont hate DK64, but I dont know if I could call it a bad game. Im not a fan of collectathons anyway, so it could be a bias.

Makes sense. I think the same thing happened with sprite flicker on the NES? Using an old CRT TV you couldn't see it.
yeah that does make a lot of sense. thanks
cb2198
Not the case with sprite flicker. You could definitely see the effect on CRTs, albeit a bit muted compared to newer TVs. In many games, it's intentionally used to give certain sprites the illusion of transparency.
The only time sprite flicker doesn't show itself properly is when recordings are running at a frame rate lower than the game itself.
Watching you wall jump with such ease kills me something deep
Why?!? Wall jumping is probably on of Mario's easiest 2d and 3d moves to pull off. Don't meant to be mean but, it just wasn't that hard for me to pull off.
On VC and emulaters the controls can get very wonky. I also really really suck at it lol
Yea sometimes emulators can cause problems like that.
Yeah its why I stopped playing 64 on an emulator. Wall jumping to get coins is a pain and 100 coins for a star on each level?! Not gonna happen
I agree
3:00 I wonder what Johnny thinks of Kevin Afghani’s performance in Wonder?
Can't speak for Johnny but i think it's great
Busted out laughing at 7:23 when Mario unexpectedly takes fall damage then again in slo-mo XD
This is my favorite 3D Mario game. It's so simple, yet speaks volumes. The jump to 3D was moreso a jump, skip and long jump into a portal. The characters were all memorable, the music is fantastic, the levels all had their own unique charm and the infamous "So long, Sir/You/Gay Bowser!" It's classic!
I've beaten this game so many times, I've lost count. And I could pick it up right now and collect all 120 Power Stars again with no hesitation. It's simply perfect, in my eyes. Great review, Johnny!
Memorable characters?
Alex Umana
Yes, it's a Mario game, they're all void of character. Good enemy designs I guess if that's what he meant.
De Pieter Like your dog doesn't have character because it doesn't talk? I'm pretty sure he meant character.

You know, maybe there never will be a new Mario voice actor. Maybe they'll just re-use the voice clips they already have for ever and ever.
that seems plausible
Wouldn't work when they actually do need new voice clips or actual dialogue said by the characters.
Honestly, it's not THAT hard to find someone else to do an over-the-top high pitched italian accent. It just...won't be the same wothout him. Honestly, his voice started sounding raspy in MK8, so I think his age is really taking a toll...
I think Martinet's in his 50s. He has some good years left, so let's be grateful for the time that we can still call him Mario's voice.
ThePreciseClimber Or just have Martinet record thousands of voice clips so even after he's gone there will be new clips.

@@Gamer1288 I was too late lol
I was reminded of this video since the new 3D Allstars came out!
Super Mario 64 was my childhood for me. It was the first game along with Mario Kart 64 the family received with the Nintendo 64. At first, I didn't respect too well, but not too long after receiving the game. I respected it and tried to complete it after I finished the game. Problem was I would play other games and when I returned, I came to find out my file was deleted. Dire Dire Docks is one of my favorite Mario of all times. So many good memories with this one. The original N64 cartridge will always be the definitive version for me as the DS version felt like the gimmicks were shoehorned in.
This game was the perfect mix of challenge, fun, and creepiness. I played it when I was younger and I got this sense of the danger Mario was in. I mean those creepy paintings that he has to go through, the practically empty castle - save the toads and the ghosts, and everything is basically out to get you. And I loved every minute. The minigames were also a marvelous addition.
Always love going back to this video
It's nearly 3 am, and I was just about to finally go to bed. Thanks a lot, Johnny.
You could watch it when u wake up
NOPE!
More power to you, if I was in your position I would probably fall asleep watching the review due to lack of sleep.
FYI, during the title scene with the giant 3D Mario, you can lock his deformations in place using the R shoulder button.
N64 version wins in terms of controls and audio quality, and DS version wins in terms of graphics and bonus content. Ultimately though, I like both versions equally.
Very good review of Mario 64. I knew there were parts about the game that made me feel uneasy about it, and you hit the nail on the head for all of those points.
You're also about to review my all time favorite Mario game. I look forward to what you have to review. Even if it is my favorite, I take note of it's flaws as well. Can't wait, Johnny!
Also congrats on getting YT verified. :)
I only ever played Mario 64 at a out-of-town Blockbuster when I was a kid. Grew up with NES and SNES, then moved to the PS1!
14:13 who would've ever thought that one day this part would age poorly lol
9:56 lmfao lol that was great! Johnny cracks me the hell up all the time 😂
3:00 well nearly ten years later were at the point
I love how his desktop background is always the game he reviews
Little details
14:12. that didn't age well.
9:45 XP BEST PART!
GOD DAMN
9:57 Fornagi
Johnny to mario 2014 fuck you
''Luigi is no where to be found no matter what internet rumors tell you''
2020 Nintendo gigaleak: *laughs*
10:56 - 11:03
You know, that's actually a really good design idea. I might just do that for my SM64 hack.
All these years later... 7:26 is still my favorite part of any video on TH-cam. God bless you, Johnny.
This is still my favorite Mario game and it's still as fun to play now as it was when it came out in 1998 👍

Your getting crazy Johnny. Your talking to a computer.
Don't we all? :)
I think everyone has at one point uttered the magic words to his/her computer:
"Are you fucking kidding me???"
He's still sane enough to know how to spell you're.
MasterShadic2 lol
No, the computer is talking back, as long as it is giving you a reply then you're safe. it's when it doesn't reply that you have to start worrying.
I will always respect Super Mario 64 for what it did for the franchise, but I would play any 3D Mario game except 3D Land over 64, as well as Super Mario World. I don't see it as a bad game, but more of an old classic, that was indeed a good game at launch, but has gained issues because later games improved, not because it was bad.
I feel the same about Pokemon Red and Blue, as well as Ocarina Of Time. Not bad games, but old classics that have been improved upon since release.
3D land sucked balls.
ElectricGamerYT It was like arcade fun to me
3D Land was fun but when I played it again, it just felt empty
I feel the same way about the first Metal Gear Solid
yeah, ocarina of time is a little too non linear. not in a good way.
Am I the only one who feels really weird that this marathon happened nearly *TWO* years ago?
You think that’s bad, to me it happened 4 years ago.
@@michaelrhett4958 now *5* years
Man 9+ years on and i still remember the eel bit, thats some tight writing there.
3:02 Who’s here after hearing the news?
I love that part with Mario and Johnny
Mario:"Nice computer you've got here. Can I have it?"
Johnny: "NO!" lols
I broke my face smiling when I saw this in my subscriptions feed.
Typing from the future to say you were dead right about this 2:59
Easilly the best intro in any game review video, everyone should make a intro like this one.
You are so amazing Johny XD. Every time you do a review, it never bore me.
My heart goes out to Johnny for inevitably 100% clearing Sunshine when he plays it. The blue coins are always far worse than you think they're going to be. ;_;
3:00 Welp...
Ha! Decided to rewatch this after the Super Mario 3D All-Stars announcement, and I got an ad for that very game.
Speaking of which, I wonder if they’ve added full camera control to the Switch version since it has two analogue sticks compared to the N64’s one. Time will tell...
Every time I make it to this part of the playlist, the intro song tickles me in all the right ways.
Cheers, J-Man.
Only johnny can make the process of setting up a console and inserting a cartridge look so elegant
First review I've seen of this without nostalgia blindness involved, it was really welcomed to see an actual fair review good work man
Oh, and happy birthday.
@15:31 Idk why but that Black brick bitch line makes me laugh so hard.
Johnny interacting with the Mario head kills me 😂
excellent review! keep up the great work, sir!
Hang on, this game is 20 years old.
Holy shit...
9:57 Yeah... The eel scared me shitless too as a kid! Well played Johnny, and a great review!
As for Super Mario Sunshine... SPOILERS Have A Great Summer Vacation! END SPOILERS...
Oh! ...heh heh, I see what you did there!
The Eel scared everybody.
Super mario sunshine is still fun. And I beat Luigi's mantion (b rank, damn it not a rank)
bulletpanda01 Almost everyone got scared the first time they saw that thing!
phantomshadow224 do you know about the plant in luigis mansion?
3:05
I can just imagine Rob Paulsen being Martinet's replacement.
I watch Johnny vs the World videos, SGBLikestoPlay, Clementj642, and Brainscratch more than I watch any TV show.
Keep it up, these reviews are always great!
Johnny, you did it again. This review is amazing! So much detail. Also, Charles is love, Charles is life.
