After 17-18 years of owning Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64 and never playing past 50/51 stars, I finally got 120 stars in the game tonight. The last star for me was finding 100 coins in Level #15: Rainbow Ride. I had the most trouble with nailing the repeated wall jumps to get the blue coins on that level. I had failed coin runs of 99, 96, 94, and 92, but I was convinced my luck would turn at some point. It did, when a random Goomba fell safely to a platform below me as I was stuck on 99 coins for the second time. Man, it was such a wave of relief to get that last star, and corny as it may sound, I will never forget the experience of reuniting with Yoshi and flying around the castle with my newly-acquired Wing Cap. I love this game now, even as frustrating as it could be at times, because it felt like such an adventure throughout. Oh, and I have a sudden urge to want to buy the original soundtrack. Dire, Dire Docks is just...the most relaxing theme. What do you guys think of Super Mario 64? Any memorable experiences?

My favourite bit was always catching the Penguins!!!
Amazing game. A literal masterpiece. N64 era truly is the greatest of all time.

I happened to clear the DS Version but never the N64 Copy, even though I do own one.

It was the first game I got for my N64 last month and I absolutely love it.

I was terrified of Level #3: Jolly Roger Bay as a kid, and I hated having to swim anywhere near Unagi the Eel. EVERYTHING about Level #5: Big Boo's Haunt was a "nope" for me, especially creeping toward the Mad Piano for one of the red coins.

Wasn't there a feature where you chased a penguin?

I picked this back up a couple years ago too and was trying to get all the stars. I beat the game with the 70, but I forget how far I got with the stars. I broke a controller after getting 99 coins on the clock world and falling to my death after the camera freaked out on me.

Haha your 120th star was my 119th star.
Anyways, I loved Super Mario 64, but I really wish they had upgraded Super Mario 64 DS to be played on consoles. I know there is virtual console but it is not the same.
Super Mario 64 DS really was better. They added 30 stars and new bosses and characters and all sorts of sh**. Really fun!
