 Feel free to explore Super Mario 64 to your heart's content, but if you're looking some guidance, here's some great videos to start out!
-* Mario moves with a lot of force, but most actions lock you into the direction you're facing. This can be advantageous, but especially when you're starting out, line up your angle and check your spacing when performing actions. When swimming or flying, small movements around the neutral zone will often give you enough control.

-* The camera is hard at first (and often later), but when you make friends with it, you'll find it can work really well in a lot of cases. The game design combined with the camera allow you to do a lot of movement in your 8 notched directions (if your controller has notches).The left and right C buttons feel inverted from most modern games because you're actually controlling the camera's position, not from Mario's perspective! For a better general-purpose camera, try Mario cam C-down. It will pan to follow behind Mario and you can press C-left or C-right twice to turn it by 45 degrees. If the camera's stuck somewhere you can't see Mario, try double-tapping R to go into and out of Mario cam to reset it.
