Rainbow Ride feels like a great reward for getting to the end of the game, I love the energy of that level and all the platforming challenge.

As a kid I thought Rainbow Ride was the coolest, but now I get to Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow and it's like ughhhhh. LET ME RUN AND JUMP. No autoscrolling! Maybe it wouldn't so bad, but you have to do the Cruiser path at least twice, probably 3 times for the 100 coin star.

Actually, as long as you get all the blue coins, you don't need to go on the cruiser path to get 100, you can go to the donut lifts instead.

I will agree that the Rainbow Ride part can be super slow, but to me it feels like a chauffeur ride victory lap to the winner's podium!

I like Hazy Maze... although I wish there was a way from Nessy's room to the main moving platform room. Boo's House is probably my least favourite all around... or maybe DDD. But again, there nothing I really dislike that much about the game.

As stated, all levels are pretty damn good, and as a whole, they just make a solid game.

Wet-dry is pretty sweet when the music changes as you swim through the tunnel to town. Also the water level changing depending where you jump through the painting was also a nice touch!

Super Mario 64 is an 8/10 for me. I’ve only started playing it recently on Super Mario 3D Allstars on the Switch. Definitely a great early 3D game. Very fun, cute, and challenging.
