+== Why You Should Give It A Shot ==
 Super Mario 64 is an iconic title and watershed moment in gaming, but what makes it so much fun? Similar to games like Super Smash Bros. Melee, the mechanics are so fluid and satisfying, the skill expression is amazing, and advanced techniques raise the skill ceiling to impossible levels. In the 29 years since this game's release, very few titles have rivaled the level of control and precision that is possible in Super Mario 64 (2 of those being Sunshine and Odyssey!). But don't take it from us; here's videogamedunkey ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MQO2STCbbY
