*It is highly recommended that runners who play using an original Nintendo 64 controller switch to a different controller for Bowser fights, as rapidly spinning the N64 controller's stick will wear it down. | |||
**Recommended controllers include a Hori Mini Pad, a [https://a.co/d/d72pG9Q Retro-Bit Tribute 64] or [https://a.co/d/4ZTzk7B Warrior64], or a GameCube controller via a [https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/gc_to_n64_adapter_v3_with_builtin_controller_pak/index.php Raphnet adapter]. | |||
