Super Mario 64 was the launch title for the Nintendo 64 (N64), and is largely considered to be one of the best and most important 3D platformers of all time.

Game Versions

There are many different versions of the game, differing by where, when, and how they were released, and in what way.

N64

Japanese

V1.0

The very first version of the game, the Japanese 1.0 N64 has all the quirks of the Japanese 1.1 N64 version, as well as different Timestop mechanics and other things (please add if you are reading this).

V1.1

Version 1.1 of the Japanese N64 version fixed some of the bugs from the 1.0 version, but still contains many that were later fixed, such as spawning displacement, the lack of a coin limit, and other things (also please add). It is notable because it contains less dialogue than the English version. For example, Mario does not say "Haha", nor does Peach narrate her "Dear Mario" letter. She also does not talk during the ending. This version is notable for being the fastest version of the game for the 1 Key category, but no others. This is because the text takes longer, but the lack of narration makes the game shorter. The text in the first Bowser fight is avoided during the 1 Key run, so the Japanese version becomes faster.
