Mario will slam into the wall, breaking the edge off and revealing a power star.īut “Blast Away the Wall” is one of those power stars that requires you to look up a guide or watch a YouTube video. Then, you jump in the cannon, aim yourself a little above the corner of the wall, and blast away. To get this star, you first have to talk to the Bom-omb Buddy to unlock the cannon. But what did it feel like the first time? I honestly can’t remember, but I have to imagine I was irritated. When I’m playing Super Mario 64 today, climbing into the cannon and blasting through the wall in Whomp’s Fortress is instinctive, like finding the hidden block with the extra-life mushroom in Super Mario Bros.
With the necessary “ Super-Mario-64-is-great” preamble out the way, here are the seven worst power stars in Super Mario 64.
With 120 power stars to collect, it’s not surprising that some of them aren’t great, right? You don’t have to find all 120 stars to reach the final boss fight with King Bowser and save the princess.īut if you want to complete the game and see Yoshi on top of the castle, you have to look high and low for every single one of them. Throughout Princess Peach’s castle, there are 120 power stars that Mario has to find to complete the game. It’s also where our modern concept of open-world gameplay and 3D platforming begins.
(I know I’m skipping over Super Mario RPG, but many people don’t consider it a mainline game, and Nintendo released it just a month before Super Mario 64.)įour short years later, Mario was a fully developed character who could in three dimensions! Super Mario 64 is where our image of who Mario is and what he sounds like emerges.
SUPER MARIO 64 BLAST AWAY THE WALL SERIES
Playing through Super Mario 64 in 2021, it’s easy to forget how revolutionary Super Mario 64 was in the ‘90s.īefore its release on the 64, the last time we saw Mario in a main series Mario game, he was just a little 2D sprite on our Gameboy screens in 1992’s Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
