I doubt I’ll ever be more blown away by a game than I was when I played Mario 64 for the first time. I was 15 when it came out and the move from a 2d to a 3d world was just insane. I can’t imagine gaming taking a leap that big now. Maybe if a truly immersive and spectacular VR game comes out soon that could possibly compare.
I'm with you, I was 12 and I swear I've never seen a bigger more significant graphical leap forward than from 2d side scrolling to 3d open adventure in that era 💯
I was also 15. I remember that I bought the game although not having the money for the console yet. And then suddenly a pricedrop was announced! Winderful times. Also loved Waverace and Goldeneye.
That feeling of slowly learning to use the control stick to move Mario around in 3D was so magical. Then you'd explore every nook and cranny. Not because you expected a reward for it. Because you COULD. These are things kids these days who grow up with 3D games on their phones will never experience.
It did feel pretty amazing to go from snes to n64. But imo the most amazing leap in tech was classic doom. My entire life ive always imagined a world where we never advanced beyond the doom engine. Imagine skyrim with that engine but the game still plays the same way it does now. Thatd be so cool! Daggerfall would look so basic.
I gotty say yes but that is in great part nostalgia speaking because even though i dont care ebout graphics mario oddyssey has brought me so much more fun than 64 and i didnt fully finish 64 but the controls in odyssey are far better and i really live how fast its going but if its about which one is better for the time it came out in id probably say mario 64 because it pioneered in the category and its still very fun today
@@harmondraws yes i played it through out of respect for what it means in gaming history and with all due respect by todays standards its ass. It was still fun especially with the goofy graohics and controls but i wouldnt pay full price money for a game lile that. It feels more like a 5-10 dollar bootleg
Seeing how relatively small this 21 year difference is compared to the 6 year difference between SM64 and SMW puts things into perspective how absolutely insanely groundbreaking SM64 felt to play back then.
I spent hours just doing back flips, long jumps, and doing the handstand dismounts from trees. It was another world. I couldn’t think about anything except sinking hours into SM64 and Shadows of the Empire getting it that first Christmas after it had dropped that previous fall.
It’s basically a sequel. I personally think Odyssey is one of the best games ever made. It’s not just some fun little Mario game. It’s insanely creative and fun and unique
That's actually the native (non-emulator) Nintendo 64 resolution. It blended well with CRT / tube TV's, yet looks less than ideal on newer monitors. Emulators such as Project 64 did a phenomenal job at upscaling resolutions for N64 games for over 20 years
This just saved me so much money. I didn’t care for the game on 64. It’s too difficult and not user friendly controlling Mario. He goes all over the place when I want to walk a straight line. It looked familiar in the trailer I watched and couldn’t put my finger on it. Thank you so much.
I heard somewhere that bobomb battlefield was supposed to have a river but was scraped, pretty cool to see it in cascade kingdom now seeing how similar they are lol
Bowser's Fury was their last 3D Collectathon and i heard it was great and more rewarding than odyssey's moons. Some rumours we're spread that the next one will be open world like Fury so i think it's going to be great
@@user-fk2xg8nq6r Oh, i don't really know much about the classic Zelda games. But what i imagine for Mario is a Rich world kinda like the Paper Mario ones, but free movement like odyssey. And with objectives working like Bowser's Fury. But what was there in Majora's mask that lacks on the new Zelda Games, i suppose the world was more full?
I really hope the next 3D Mario game returns the ability to punch and kick freely, like in Mario 64. One of my frustrations about the more modern 3D Mario games is that you have to rely on the game's gimmick ability like cappy in Oddysey, FLOOD in Sunshine, and the cat/racoon powerup in 3D World/Land.
What if cascade kingdom was that level just in like 30 years later like there’s a chain chomp right there. And then there’s a bridge and then at the top there’s a big place to fight a boss
Old school folks would know that nintendo 64, was the beginning of all the immersive games we have today... Yall remember goldeneye, it's not even the game, but it was the music...that these games carried with them...
At the time super Mario 64 came out it was mind blowing I was in Middle School it was a magical time games have better graphics today but it's don't feel the same
Dang, Odyssey looks BAD ASS! I bought a Nintendo64 with my own money when they first came out. As a kid it was so cool! Ahh memories... Mario 64 was a blast, I'd love to play it again. Time flies... I'll be 40 in less than 3 months.
I bought Switch since I really and I mean REALLY hope to play Super Mario 64 again. But then when I played Odyssey, its kinda refreshing to get frustrated and figure out a game all over again. The feeling I felt when I first played 64. and now I just beat bowser and was glad that I can play more and unlock more stuff.
Never noticed how similar they are...

Neither do i
I know right
They’re similar in ways we never noticed before!?

I like how they "tipped their hat" to the 64 version

@@harrisonclifton5239?
Heck yeah. Idk if this is the Mario I played in 64.
The one I played he jumped through paintings and said “yahoo!” When he jumped up in the air while shooting his fist in the air
What do you mean??
I love the fact you can get the polygraphic Mario 64 skin in Mario Odyssey
Do you mean low poly Mario?
@@nexustarget442 Nah, they mean polygraphic
I've seen an HD mod for Mario 64 and I'm pretty sure they just reused his Oddyssey skin for it
And also visit the "L is Real" garden, complete with all the spots where the Boos would've been at in SM64.
I know right? Such love and care from Nintendo
The graphics may be glitchy… but Super Mario 64 was one of a kind. Amazing game and still a classic I play

Absolutely true!!

Wow they are so similar and I never noticed
We need a SM64 remake
frrr it's my favorite mario game
You have it on the DS. How many remakes ungrateful gamers want?
@@Jyoshi0 ikr
No we don't, we don't need more remakes. Go away.
@@Jyoshi0 It has happened again ^ these people are literally kids.
Mario will never change his running style😂
Over 20 years apart and while both games are masterpieces…nothing comes close to the innovation found in Mario 64.
Quake 1:
its within an order of magnitude for sure. (that is a compliment to the game)@@purple781
The third person Driver and GTA games wouldn't exist without Mario 64.
@@purple781 Before Quake there was Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.
Odyssey isn't a masterpiece
Wow! I never noticed how similar they are!

Didn't realize I had to see this and I'm glad it did made me feel so much happier
Mario 64 all day that game was groundbreaking.
Took me 7 years to realize how similar they are
Wow 7 years... time flies
IT HAS BEEN 7 YEAR S ,??
Wow the Beginning of these stages are almost identical. Even the chain chomp is there
Here something left.
The Mario 64 oddysey that made kaze emanuar. Its a real amazing hack rom
I have played it on Android and it's a fun hack. I have played it on Mupen64 FZ Pro
@@yaboijuanito1460 the BEST n64 android emulator
I love how they made 64 look blurrier than it actually is
they ALWAYS do that!!!!!
Thats the native blurring filter
That’s how it looks without any upscaling on modern screens. It was 240p.
That's because you are used to looking at emulator footage. The original resolution was as you see it here.
This comment actually says a lot.

Wow I never knew they were so similar
The moving camera angle is such a simple but brilliant upgrade, helps your depth perception to a screen so much
Throughout all my time playing Mario Odyssey, I never knew that cascade kingdom had similarities to Bob-omb Battlefield
Beeeeeautiful comparison, i dont really NEED those improved visuals but i definitely WANT IT! ✌🏼🤓🎮
Bro is NOT using the nerd emoji unironically wtf💀

Skill issue.
It took me for a while to realize Cascade Kingdom is just Bob-Omb Battlefield but with changes
Maybe cascade kingdom is bob-omb battlefield after years and years, so it got all gross and messed up.
@@ImdefinitelynotCobaltion or bob bomb battlefield in the past
@@fireblade696 but then again, Mario Oddysey DOES take place after 64.
Every level is bobomb battlefield but with changes
Super Mario 64 looked like the top screen to 7yr old me in 1996
Fr Shit Was So Advanced For The Kids
Same! 😂
I heard somewhere that bobomb battlefield was supposed to have a river but was scraped, pretty cool to see it in cascade kingdom now seeing how similar they are lol
At first I actually didn’t realize how similar the cascade kingdom really is to bob-omb battlefield.
I’m so hyped for the next 3d collectathon, hopefully they go for quality over quantity of stars or whatever next time.

Wtf they remade the structures I never knew that, thats just awesome
Damn, never noticed this! Brilliant.
Oh man in 2026 SM64 is gonna be 30 years old.
30 years since I first played it..
It will always remain a masterpiece
So wierd back then I remember Mario 64 looking alot smoother but with better graphics now it looks so old haha
oh ! it's true that they look similar
i didnt realize this but the jump in mario 64 is so much weightier than the one in odyssey its like wow mario is so much more fluid in odyssey
Improved engines=improved physics
Crazy this game came out 2 months after I was born
Mario 64 gives me such heavy nostalgia .. I loved my childhood in every way but the N64 still holds some of my fondest memories
I never noticed how similar the layout was omg
omg i didn’t realize it was like an homage to mario 64
it’s crazy how they clearly imitated the Mario 64 bomb omb battle field amazing
2017 was peak. I hope they can replicate the amazingness on the Switch successor.
I remember getting N64 when it first came out with Mario! Can’t believe how far graphics have come.
It’s cool how they made cascade kingdom an inspiration of bob-omb battlefield
I love that classic Mario 64 music though ❤
My man just found the biggest Easter egg ever in Nintendo!😮
I didn't realize those worlds were very similar 'til now
My childhood days 😅 I can still remember those hidden places on the game 90s kids rock
Oh wow, the similarity
21 anos de evolução tecnológica e Mario continua sendo um jogo incrível!
I love this! I never noticed.
Super Mario Odyssey was perfection

I realized this when playing, I felt as if I was playing something very familiar. Almost 64-esque even though I just got the game. Ah~ the memories…
What if cascade kingdom was that level just in like 30 years later like there’s a chain chomp right there. And then there’s a bridge and then at the top there’s a big place to fight a boss
Thats prob true
That’s a good theory
This actually makes sense the dirt hole in 64 is where the waterfall is at in Odyssey
I'll never forget watching my first speedrun of this game and realizing Mario can kick
Took me 7 fucking years. IT TOOK ME 7 YEARS TO REALISE HOW SIMILAR THE FIRST LEVEL WAS
this is very nostalgic
Those chicken nugget goombas were the best
Both games are my childhood
never noticed how similar these levels are
Súper Mario 64 was more mind blowing then that Mario oddysey
I used to think mario 64 looked like real life back then
This song should be number one so catchy ha ha
Wow! They look similar cool
They both look so good!
Very cool to see. I think I'll buy that now
64 felt like odyssey back then.
The fact at first I thought they were the same map...
I can’t understand why we haven’t had a sequel yet
I never noticed the homage to sm64, that’s pretty neat.
Old school folks would know that nintendo 64, was the beginning of all the immersive games we have today...
Yall remember goldeneye, it's not even the game, but it was the music...that these games carried with them...
Ill always love n64 mario
The Battle is finished
"Coincidence isn't real!"
never occurred to me that they were sorta similar
Nothing beats the OG Mario
At the time super Mario 64 came out it was mind blowing I was in Middle School it was a magical time games have better graphics today but it's don't feel the same
The platforming in the mario series got a major upgrade lol fr playing sm64 nowadays is irritating
Mario 64 dude, the game is a leyend
A fine example of how cartoonish art styles are more timeless.
Oh my god!!!!
How have I never noticed that
Dang, Odyssey looks BAD ASS!
I bought a Nintendo64 with my own money when they first came out. As a kid it was so cool! Ahh memories... Mario 64 was a blast, I'd love to play it again. Time flies... I'll be 40 in less than 3 months.
I knew it as soon as I played this map! Even has the star ⭐️ behind the chained dog 🐶
The guy playing 64 really doesn't like jumping when not required
Nintendo knows how to make games.
Crazy it's 20 years difference
N64 mario was so far ahead of its time
Se ve cool la comparación 👌
This will be Super Mario 64 graphics in 2019 😱
After Super Mario 3 and Mario World i didn't give a damn anymore really
Why? Mario got old?
i love how there’s a way to skip the exact same chain chomp as SM64
The memories..........
How could I never saw this 😮
The Cascade Kingdom is future version of Bomb-omb battle field. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Mario odyssey is an amazing game.
I wonder if this is how the felt Mario 64 back in the day
Super Mario Bros Vs Super Mario Bros Wonder
Didnt even notice that
Well this clearly is a completely different “map” you can see they put a lot of effort into referencing sm64
both great
the music quality is better in switch, but the music composition in SM64 is better for me
