It's worth remembering "kids" were the intended audience for this game. Many of the stars you found "easy" or "lazy" were my favorites as a child because the rest were too challenging. I remember Shifting Sand Land being really difficult because I didn't have a wing cap and used whirlwinds to navigate the skies or the pillar to kick the bird when it stole my hat. There are lots of little things that change the experience when you're a kid playing. It also allowed the game to grow up with me. As I got older, so did my skills and I solved the more difficult stars. But screw that magic carpet, waiting sucks no matter how old you are! Great video!

This is the first video of yours I've seen and you've instantly earned a subscription from me. I've always enjoyed these kind of long analysis/review videos and you do an incredible job with it. Super Mario 64 is one of my favorite games and although I don't agree with every point you made, I really enjoyed watching you analyze the game. I was SHOCKED when I saw your view and subscriber counts. You deserve SO MUCH more. Can't wait to check out more of your stuff!

Small comment on the camera, you can activate a follow-behind-Mario setting by hitting the left bumper on the N64 controller. I remember using this a lot during the difficult camera areas.<br><br>Great video and fun channel. You do good work and your thoughts are fun, especially with the OoT video.

SM64 is my favorite game of all time. There's no other game I've ever experienced that's conditioned me over the last 25 or so years to constantly want to revisit it. Every few months I have an urge to fire up my N64 to play SM64 and I'll just forget about playing anything else for a week or two. Great video, great review, you absolutely deserve way more subscribers

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeXhQFu5srg&t=1152">19:12</a> to be entirely accurate, you can use the R button camera pretty much anytime to get a bit more flexibility from the camera. It’s not amazing, but it’s something.

This is why I love Super Mario Odyssey so much. It's the only 3D Mario game that brought back the intense complexity of Mario 64's movement, but camera works properly.

You can wall kick off the side/perpendicular wall instead which makes a lot of those jumps a lot more manageable such as boos haunt or the second on cool cool mountain one.
