moved the history above version differences because it makes more sense that way, added more information to the first sentence and wii u vc part
(Considering this is one of the longest pages, I don't think it qualifies for "stub." Additionally, fixed a broken link and grammar issues.)

'''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.

==History==
 
Super Mario 64 was a game that was in development in 1995, the beta's were shown at the Shoshinkai show in November of 1995, with the introduction of the Nintendo 64 (Ultra 64). Early footage of the show revealed the beta version of Super Mario 64, in which it looked completely different than what the finally product looked like, the final product was suppose to come out in December, but it was delayed further, the entire game was rebuild and in May 16th, E3 1996, the game almost looks like the original game we have now and looks almost finished, and the entire game was almost accessible, some stuff got changed before the release, such as the star sprite being changed, more small details needed to be added. The game was rushed at the end as told by one of the programmers of Super Mario 64, and some of them never wanted to code due to Super Mario 64, they all were burnt out, and the game was released in Japan on June 23rd, then September 26th that was released for the US.

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

The English version of the game introduces voice clips like "Haha" and Peach's voice clips. It fixes some errors from the previous version, like the lack of a coin limit. It has, in general, less text than the Japanese version, but takes longer during the intro and ending due to Peach's narration.

The European release of Super Mario 64 supports language changing in the settings menu between English, French, and German. This is optimal for the [[ABZ Button Challenge]] because the Start button can be used to change language and the language with the least text can be selected. Due to [[Wii VC Round-To-Zero]], however, the true optimal PAL version is not on N64. Outside of ABZ, PAL is little-used because changing languages wastes time and English is effectively identical if you do not change languages. Because of the PAL video format using 50hz instead of NTSC's 60hz, PAL runs at 25 [[frames]] per second rather than 30, another reason why it is suboptimal for speedruns/TASes.

The Wii U Virtual Console version has no known interesting glitches that set it apart from either N64 or Wii VC. It is identical to Wii VC, except that the rounding error is absent. Wii U VC is often joked about for have a high amount of input lag.

Much like Wii VC, Japanese Wii U VC is the Shindou version. This means that you still can't do BLJs or other patched glitches not present in the Shindou version.

Unlike on N64 or Wii VC, the PAL version runs at 60hz instead of 50hz. As a result of this, PAL Wii U VC will run at full speed like the American and Japanese versions.

The most major difference is that entering the inside of the island in [[Tiny-Huge Island]], where Wiggler and red coins reside, will crash the game. The crash is console only, and seems to occur after Wiggler starts moving. Note that this area is apparently the only area with more than one warp in or out, with this or Wiggler's movement possibly being the cause of the crash.
