🙏Thank you guys all so much for watching! We are seriously so lucky that we get to make videos that people actually watch! You guys are all the best!!!
-Thomas, PJ, & Mac
Let us know what our best (or worst😎) takes are! Also, would you guys like to see more Mario star/level rankings in the future?
A Mario Odyssey moon ranking would be cool but that would probably take a long long time 😅
A Mario sunshine shines or Mario galaxy 1/2 stars would be really cool
Your best take was somewhere over the rainbow. It’s underrated and is actually quite fun. The worst take was haunted books. It’s probably because it was the first star I collected, but it deserves better 😂
I think blast away the wall is the worst cause off the forbiden thing
In snowman's land, you can climb onto the penguin's head to make it across more easily
In Tall, Tall Mountain, why don't collect all the coins in the slide first and collect the rest outside on stable ground? That's what I do.
souds like he doesnt know you can jump down after the slide.
I was thinking the same thing. Because after you complete the slide in the N64 version, you can just jump down to safe ground and get the other coins on the mountain. It's not like in the DS version where it truly IS annoying, because you can't jump down anymore and instead have to go for the coin rings on the mountain top.
The only way to know that wind is there is trial and error or a guide
@radaf4429 you dont need the wind, theres just ground there that brings you to the start of the level
@RemiGemini my b I'm used to DS
Apparently you are unaware of the fact you can jump over the railing back to the beginning of the level after doing the slide on Tall Tall Mountain
Most of the early ratings is "This is the worst cause its easy to die and I suck at the game but that's the game's fault". I stopped when he said Hazy maze cave is a bad level because it has insta death traps...that boulder does 3 damage, NOT insta death. You literally have to die on PURPOSE there to get that clip... and there is NO reason to longjump that pit backwards...EVER.)
SHame cause it's an interesting video, but nothing kills a rating video faster than "I never actually played the game but going to talk like I've been playing for years". Note to self, when a video opens with "is this top tier game REALLY as good as people think it is or is it overrated?", expect to see a series of "I don't get why people like this popular game, it's not good cause I keep failing to make easy jumps."
@@MarioMastarno one is reading that essay dork
@@JKLeScH777 your comment inspired me to read his comment, just for the sake of proving your comment about his comment wrong
@@MarioMastar well.. your comment sounds rude.. but.. I must agree with it, I've been playing this game for 28 years on a "regular" basis, and hearing stuff like
"the owl doesnt come back you need to exit the level" (it just slowly goes back to the level entrance, you dont have to exit the stage)
or
"the star spawn during the slide which is stupid idea" (yeah just start with the slide and no more problem)
or
"the eel in the bay it's not fun and not unique" ( it's the only star like that in the game how is it not unique !?"
or
"2 stars with the same name this game is garbaaaggeeee" (but the objective is the same .. so who cares ?)
or
"jumping to that star on the mushroom in TTM is haaaardd" (how is it hard you have one jump to do it's on the same level with barely a way to fall off, jump is A, you learn to jump in the first minute of gameplay..)
there are so many example where I was just laughing at this point, like the ice house in SL, and the amount of stars that "i dont know.. it's just.. there!"
also the fact he complains about the pirahna in tiny huge island even if you just have to hit 5 of them, but gives the first place to a star that you need to find the correct order of the chests.. in water.. otherwise you lose HP and risk drowning..
cool video to watch anyway, but yeah, it feels like he is someone who didnt play it in the last 10 years and tries to place stars in order with criteria he doesnt even follow himself.
@@JKLeScH777 I read it and I agree. lol
I ain’t gon lie bro, some of these just sound like major skill issues
Major
For real man
Very true
Assist
Not some, but the majority of his complain.
8:00 If you use an adjective doubled for emphasis, you use a comma.
Guys first play through.
Purely for the sake of this "review" and based on the other comments, a lot of people agree this video makes WatchMojo look like they have a PHD in entertainment research...
The owl goes back to the same spot after a minute or so in "fall onto the cage island", but it still makes it tedious to do it
The comma in Cool, Cool Mountain is because in English you have to separate adjectives by a comma...
0:06 bro I think it’s a good game WHAT CONTROVERSY?
You find out after watching a few of his "takes" he's kind of hating the game because it's popular....he's actually terrible at it and blaming the game as "not being as good as people remember". Sorry but that earned the dislike for me.... just a waste of our time for an interesting video concept.
@@MarioMastarwell no. As he said SM64 is a part of video game history but it IS also quite frustrating and hard sometimes, way less satisfying to play than later games. Still a great game i think but i wouldn’t agree with it being the best mario game for example
@@goldeer7129it’s not a hard game at all. Literally all the 2D Mario games on the older consoles make SM64 seem like child’s play in terms of difficulty
You dont have to leave the level for the owl to come back. He comes back in less then a minute
There's a lot of stars that make me question if this guy actually played the game more than once just to write this rating system... The boulders in hazy maze cave do NOT insta kill you and you never have to jump that pit backwards...EVER. He did that on purpose to get that clip... just to say "Yeah this level sucks". Also, Tiny Huge Island is a bad level? I'm not "moving on" from that take.
I totally forgot about there was an owl in the game
7:28 There is indeed one blue coin in Bobomb Battlefield if you kill the koopa… if I remember correctly
yeah, you're right
yup, but this person decided to talk in a video about a game he just doesnt know enough, the amount of incorrect information is laughable.
Seek the 8 red coins
'They are hidden quite creatively'
1/5 for creativity
?????
Fun fact: For the Big Boo on the Balcony star if you crawl up the slope you won't slide down. (Intended mechanic)
I remember being stuck on 119 stars for so long as a kid because I couldn’t get the 100 coin star in Rainbow Ride. After months of trying, I finally did it and oh man did I ever celebrate.
surprisingly, the 100-coin Tall Tall Mountain star never gave me trouble, I just did the slide first, jumped out of the mountainside, then climbed back up the mountain to get the rest of the coins
Same here. I did the slide first and then the rest.
Yeah, surprised the creator didn’t realize that
Even as a kid I quickly figured that's the way to do it
Like everyone with a brain does.
Same, always do the slide first for this one
I’m sorry, there’s a debate on whether or not Super Mario 64 is still a good game? The answer is yes. Anyone who says no is objectively wrong
Really don't get the Tiny Huge Island hate. Always been one of my favorite levels.
Never let this man cook again
Fr 😭
For the Tall, Tall Mountain 100-coin star, at the end of the slide, you can jump down from that little area and it takes you back to the beginning of the level.
Mips taking 2 of the top 5 spots was such a let down
SORRY WHAT
7:25 There's a sign telling you to run around the posts.
Tall tall mountain: do the slide first, doofus
I’m noticing that a lot of these complaints this guy has have more to do with him just sucking at the game rather than there actually being anything wrong with the stars themselves
fr bro...this was a tough watch.
14:34 I saw you doing this earlier in the video too but this is the time I want to point it out. Do you seriously not know how to ground pound a boo? You don't have to circle around their back and dive into them. Just jump so that you're above them and Then do the ground pound and you beat them faster and easier
SM64 speedrunner here:
1. you have a major skill issue
2. do slide first in ttm
3. nintendo designed it so that you crawl up the slope on the roof in bbh, you can literally crawl up it, yes
it shouldn't even be a question that dire dire docks 100 coin star is the worst, barely over 100 coins in the level, so have to re-get the red coins if you don't do it in the same go, multiple piles of coins that are completely required to find that are in places you wouldn't even think of checking since you can't see coins until you're really close, plus being an underwater stage is just so slow, with multiple things that can happen to make you have to reset like the whirlpool or getting sucked into that vent that sends out outside the castle. just a terrible terrible star
You don't need the blue coins in the cave in Tiny-Huge-Island.
I won't continue watching. Two mistakes in the first few stars is lack of either research, expertise or talent or just laziness.
The other mistake is, that you can do the slide in Tall-Tall-Mountain before getting the other coins.
Lack of expertise definitely also please watch the top15 there hilarious
bro just does willy nilly on creativity
It's almost like trying to objectively critique something using subjective metrics is a terrible idea.
You don't hide behind the penguin, you ride his head.
You can do both! Its a pretty cool concept
WHAT
If the Snowman's body misses the head, you can warp back to the beginning and the body will be there again.
I've never been good at that star. Any tips?
@@TheMonarchofMonarchs933 If I recall correctly, I think I jumped off the slide before the switchback down to the ground and got there way before the body did.
@@TheMonarchofMonarchs933 if you jump down to save time, you'll never get it, the ball will roll beside and fall off, you need to "show the way" so you do the slide 100% and you just stand behind it at the end, the snowball will follow you and tadam!
@@Tashiro64
I still need to do that star in my recent run. So I hope the standing behind it part works.
Edit:
I got the star, thank you.
I don't think there is any controversy surrounding this game. It is largely seen as a fun play even today
9:26 this is not true. The owl comes back if you wait at the tree.
Note that bobomb battle field actually has one blue coin
For Blast to the Lonely mushroom star on Tall Tall Mountain you can simply run along the rolling log while climbing the mountain and long jump off the end of it, you will land right on the mushroom and you can get the star without ever unlocking the cannon.
I just use the fly guy lol
@@YouDrewsYouLoseOne of the greatest things about games like SM64 is that they let you come up with all sorts of solutions.
...the end when he rages on the camera angles on tick tock clock is the biggest mood
6:17 how is it you don't know that you could just stand underneath those books and jump into them like you jump into a block? You're making it harder by trying to jump kick them.
7:43 Putting a comma between two adjectives is just correct grammar.
Also you can crawl across the roof on Big Boo's Balcony.
11:07 I highly doubt very many people actually got that star without the wing cap. I mean I'm sure there are plenty people who have but the majority? Yeah right. I mean it says when cap in the name and if you just use the Canon you're just going to fall down. Wing cap from that cannon allows you to glide more with some control so you better use the wing cap
“Wall jumps suck” and “I usually resort to backflips” is CRAZZZYYYY
The amount of critique and complaints in this comment section is very much justified. I love the idea of this video, but this countdown is narrow bias.
You can just jump out of the hole where the Mysterious Mountainside star is. So for the 100 coins star, you can do the slide first, then collect the remaining coins on the mountain. I can't remember if the star would remain after leaving the sub area, but if it does, then you would also be able to attempt to collect the star as many times as you wish. It is still a 100 coin star, so it is still among the worst. Missing the star is a problem on the DS version, where the hole is blocked off, though I don't think you are forced to do the slide, as the levels have more coins.
I don’t even have to see the whole video to already know that it’s great. I always like seeing star rankings. I would love if someone did this for all the shines in Mario Sunshine.
Stay tuned then 👀👀
@@SwitchStop Sure will!
@@SwitchStopbetter get an every moons in odyssey rank after that 😂
@@SwitchStopwill you do it for both galaxy games?
Woooooooooooh. Yeah baby
The owl comes back, but just takes some time
You don't need to leave the level to make the owl respawn in "fall into the cage". He just flies back to the tree, you just need to wait a minute for him to get back
Secret aquarium is literally my favorite star because of how strange and calming the location is. I milk the hell out of every coin to stay as long as possible
My tick tock clock enjoyment got so much better when I realised I can do every star with the level stopped
7:15 I find it easy to get the 100 coins at Bob bomb battlefield and I did so without spinning around those pillars. You actually don't need to do so. The thing that's a little more tricky is trying to get the coins that you shoot yourself out of the Canon to get that normally you would go through the hoops of coins to get a star but if you're trying to get all of those coins up there that's more tricky.
For Snowman's Big Head, you can just stand on the Big Penguin's head and you won't get blown off the mountain.
94- you don't actually have to leave the level to the owl respawn, the owl goes back to the beginning of the level after some seconds
27:00 you can jump on the pengiuns head and until he is on the other side
Or just cannon up to the star!
The fact that you didn’t even mention the option that you can grab the coins on the slide first before grabbing the coins outside in Tall, Tall moutain is just baffling. Like… why would you grab the coins on the slide last? That’s asking for failure
Tick tock clock, has 4 defrent setings. At 12 the clock is stoped, at 3 the clock is ticking slov, at 9 the clock is ticking fast, and at 6 the clock is ticking at normal sped.
P.s. I might have switched 3 and 9.
We know
in tall tall mountain 100 coins, you do the slide first, and get 100 coins outside. if you do as i said, you'll see it is actually a really fun star
Two things that stood out:
1- tall tall mountain 100 coins- at the start, run backwards to the edge where the path runs out and jump, wind will carry you up to scale the mountain faster, then enter the slide first.
2- every time you jumped near a ! box, you can just ground pound next to it to open the box, instead of completing your skid jump and jumping again to break it, just ground pound as you fall from your skid jump.
The owl flies back to where he spawns in Whomp's Fortress. No need to restart the level if you miss the star in the cage
1:57 It's been a long time since I've played Super Mario 64 but I could have sworn when you get through that tunnel and come out the other side you don't have to collect the star that just outside of it and can you just jump over the railing and end up back on the stage again? If that's the case then technically you wouldn't actually have to get your 100th coin on that slide
youre opinions are invalid
9:27 fuck that owl! Easiest way to get that star…hop in the cannon, line up with the cage, pull up until the red coin is just about out of view (but still visible) then blast. You’ll hit the star every time
9:25 thats wrong the OWL is slowly flying back to the tree
Funny cut scenes and good clips of those common instant death spots. Super iconic all the way through. Cool!
14:15 However, the level is called "Pluck the Piranha FLOWER", last time I checked "FLOWER", it was a singular noun, this should be called "Pluck the Piranha FLOWERS"
16:50 This is one of the easiest stars if you know how to obtain it. I swim from below towards the eel until it comes out of the hole. Then I swim right into the star. It's just a bit of timing, but doable
I think the Bowser puzzle to solve yourself would be an awesome star objective. The red coins could have been in the volcano and worked around that.
Take a shot every time this guy says "fun"
Was literally just playing this game. cool to see you do this
12:38 Well I mean of course the countdown with the vanish cap is going to be quick otherwise there wouldn't be much challenge to it. I do agree sort of about the wall jump though. I don't think it's that hard to pull off but sometimes I end up jumping in at the wrong angle and not landing on that platform up there with the door
THE BIG HOUSE IN THE SKY AT 43? BRO THAT STAR IS LITERALLY 120TH WTF DO YOU MEAN
How can this guy be so confidently wrong for the ENTIRE video!?
This was an amazing video to watch! Thank you for it.
How did somewhere over the rainbow get into A tier with a score of 8 when everything else in the tier has around 11?
Typo! Score should be 4+2+5=11
3:12 I collected all coins in every level. Let me tell you one thing: Neither Tick Tock Clock or Rainbow Ride are the hardest. IMO, the hardest is Dire Dire Docks. There are coins close to where you're sucked out of the level.
i say hazy mazy 100 coins is a pain😭😭😭
@@briannatodd8788Hazy Maze Cave gets my vote simply because getting the blue coins from those eyeballs on the small platforms is a pain in the ass (literally the only part of the game that I actually still consider challenging even to this day)
I'm pretty sure you can get the owl again if you miss the cage without leaving the course.
Your S tier stars are some of the hottest of hot takes, but I’m here for it
plunder in the sinken ship is my favorite star too. collecting that star felt like i'm a real adventurer myself and have just completed the biggest adventure of my life
I just replayed both Mario 64 and Sunshine back to back and I have to say, I really appreciate how in Mario 64, the 100 coin star appears right where you got the 100th coin AND you get to continue playing the level after you got it.
Sunshine is...not as nice, in that regard.
TTM, don’t get the star on the slide, you can get it outside after you get through the slide.
There's a blue coin switch in bob- omb battlefield. It's up on the mountain trail by a cannon I believe
I think mountain slide first makes it really easy to do? And fun
whyat!? the owl goes back to the start of the level when you fail, you dont have to restart XD
On big boos balcony there are flat areas on the top of the roof you can walk on easily in Mario cam. Just long jump to the left or right and you are on flat ground. From there you make your way across the top to the middle where the star is
I actually like the Big Boo’s Balcony since you can just crawl your way. Pretty easy imo.
Ewwwwww, Mips top 5?
It's bad enough you have to stop the fun star collecting and do it once. The second is literally just a rerun.
I think it’s still an AMAZING game.
I enjoyed this, but please, you can't "eliminate bias" by chosing three arbitrary categories that are both arbitrarily weighted the same and then also arbitrarily scored. It's all subjective and biased, which is fine. After all, the point of ranking is to hear someone's opinion out, no need to cloud it in reductionism. If I want Mario 64 science, then I'll go to Pannenkook or Kaze ;)
In Lava Land, you can also fly or ride the shell to the star behind the log.
And in Snowman’s Land, you can stand on top of the penguin and just let him carry you over
I know how you feel about getting the 100 Coin Star in Tall Tall Mountain's slide. The same thing happened to me once in Cool Cool Mountain's slide. What I do is collect the slide coins first and then collect the rest when I've left the slide.
How long did it take for you to edit this video bro
You don't have to collect the Red Coins in Dire Dire Docks twice if you get the 100 coin star during the Red Coin mission.
So, I believe you can jump down from the area where the slide ends and end up back at the beginning of Tall, Tall, Mountain. So I tend to just grab the slide coins first then jump back to the beginning of the level and grab the rest. Easier than trying to jump up to the star on the slide
The owl does come back fall onto the caged island you just have to wait
22:06 I see you added a "the" into breathtaking view from bridge
For the 100 coins in tall, tall mountain, you can easily just do the slide first to collect a good amount before climbing the mountain again.
Whenever I did Tall, Tall Mountain, I always tried to do the slide first for the 100 coin star.
Wall Kicks Will Work is the best star in the whole game.
Jump on the spinny-girl's head at the top of the mountain at spawn, and fly into it.
Nothing more satisfying.
Theres a bunch of coins in the rings on Bob-omb battlefield, plenty to get 100
Right away with the first star you mentioned, just do the slide first, THEN get the coins from the course. Plus if you fall in the slide starting in there, saves time for the next shot
You don't have to stomp on the four pillars. Just take the coopa shell and ride over it. We can use the coopa to ride to the top of the piramid then too
I think wiggler is easy to beat because the challenge is supposed to be figuring out how to find them. Observant players will have seen his home above them during the red coin search, but getting to him requires outside of the box thinking so I’ve always ranked it high even if the actual boss is easy to beat once you are on them
That's how i figured it out back in the day. Noticed one of the itty bitty secrets was at the mountain top... but there was no hole? So i figured i had to make it myself
bro really put a star that he loves in c tier
He contradicts himself a lot in this video. He’ll say “I really enjoyed this star” on certain stars and then a bit later on stars he ranked even higher he says “this star wasn’t very fun”
Ranking the difficulty of a star is hard. Not every star is supposed to be the same difficulty. The Secret Aquarium gave me anxiety as a kid. On every other water level, when you fear to drown, you can at least try to reach the surface and unless you're red, you're probably gonna make it. The only exceptions are the sunken ship and the Aquarium. Notice that you can access the Aquarium with just 3 stars and you get thrown immediately into it after checking out the room and the obvious holes. With the pirate ship, you can expect there to be no air and you get at least a little diving experience entering it.
I think the comma in Cool, Cool Mountain and other levels is just for readability. You honestly might think its a typo or something if you were seeing it for the first time (if it didnt have a comma)
