I'm a few stars in and liking this game so far. Although the slippery slide in the ice level was a bit challenging.Is there anything I should know going in? Things to look out for?
>>12685431Just know how to use all the jumps
>>12685431There's odd teleports in some levels you may wanna look up.
>>12685431>Is there anything I should know going in?Not really, the game was designed for people who had never played a 3d platformer.>Things to look out for?There are signs that you can read for hints. You can also talk to some characters.
>>12685435>look up secretsYou're a boring person.
>>12685431Run around the posts a few times so they ejaculate coins.
>>12685431If you look at the ceiling in the main lobby after getting 10 stars, you'll get to unlock the wing cap. You should be able to figure out everything else.
>>12685431You should read the manual.
>>12685431>Is there anything I should know going in? Things to look out for?I need someone to write a dissertation on the introduction of this phrase into the modern internet discussion. Its so baffling to me.>Im about to watch the Sixth Sense, any twists I should be aware of going in? any clues I should be looking out for to solve the mystery before its revealed at the end?>Im 30 minutes into the Godfather can we have a discussion about it? Man I really hope Sonny makes it to the end of the film hes such an interesting character.
>>12685431How familiar are you with parallel universes?
>>12685431anyone tried 64 plus on pc? how is it?
>>12685484I understand wanting to discuss some old media youre experiencing the first time. but holy fuck wait until youve actually played it first.
>>12685431>Things to look out for?every copy of mario 64 is personalized
Hey guys I just tried drinking water. So far I really like it but does anyone have any tips?
>>12685431Be sure to count the number of A presses as you play and try to keep them as low as possible. Half A presses don't count.
>>12685705Try breathing while taking a sip for extra enjoyment.
For the longest time I didn't believe that shit about yoshi on the roof because it sounded like the shit your friend's dad who worked at nintendo told you about.
>>12685484Comparing a singular, controlled experience with experiences that have infinite possibilities is a bit disingenuous, no?I got advice before playing Dark Souls and if I hadn't, I probably would've dropped it. Dark Souls 2 specifically has a stat tied to i-frames that is not mentioned anywhere in-game
>>12685431Nah, you're fine, you can really just go in blind and you'll be able to make it to the end.
>>12685473I suppose THAT one isn't 100% intuitive, but it does still kinda give you a clue.Otherwise, I can't think of anything else.
>>12685431you should know that there's a pc source port that removes any possible friction the game could have as far as sluggish walking adjustment controls and camera, in addition to avoiding n64 emulator weirdness.
TTC 100 coins used to be the hardest thing ever
>>12686424It makes a very obvious beam of sunlight appear there when it unlocks which is pretty hard to miss.Maybe "modern gamer" wouldn't bother to push C up and look at it but still.
I miss when games had cool secrets like Mario 64. Only Elden Ring has even bothered trying to keep game secrets alive, and everybody just combs the wikis so they don't miss anything anyway. Every other game just spoon feeds the shit out of you to your face
>>12686452I wanted to give benefit of the doubt, seeing as nothing happens if you were to look up towards that spot when you stand further away. Someone COULD hypothetically just not look at it a second time.
>>12685431The last star on Big Boo's level isn't attainable. It was put in as a practical "haunted" joke by the developers.If you get all 180 stars, you can unlock Luigi.
>>12686453>t. only plays AAA slop>conveniently ignores GTA and Red Dead series
>>12686461Yeah people don't totally use wikis for those either
>>12685431watch for rolling rocks
>>12685431will you find the 121 stars?
>>12685459I partially agree, but how else are you supposed to know to stand still in a random-ass spot for a second if you don't have a friend/brother/magazine telling you to do so first
>>12686719>random assThere's a massive conspicuous light wave there.
>>12685745i still dont believe it.
>>12686759I wasn't referring to the wing cap switch level, I assumed the original anon meant the warp points within the levels themselves, like this unmarked corner in Whomp's Fortress
>>12686719>>12686782As a kid with infinite free time I just randomly stumble on them. I think thats what the devs intended, for it to be just a cool minor surprise.
>>12686782Bobomb battlefield teaches you to check in corners and shit for stuff like this.No kid missed the warp shortcut up the mountain, and most found the warp in the flowers just by fucking around
>>12685903comparing dark souls to Mario 64 a game for toddlers is a bit disingenuous no? Do you not see how embarrassing you look? You are literally asking for tips on how to to put the square block in the square hole.>>12686719>supposedyou arent entitled to knowing all the secrets thats what makes them secret. God you people are fucking stupid.
>>12685903There really is a reasonable-sounding retard ready to pop up in defense of absolutely anything.
>>12685431You've already gone way too far and there's no redeeming your play effort at this point. For one thing, before you learned the name Mario, YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED whether there was anything you needed to know going in. We could have pointed you in the right direction then, but now it's much too late.
Explore on your own
>>12685431You can beat the game with only 70 stars, don't force yourself to get stars you don't enjoy. Still, play as much as you can.
>>12685705>waterDo you have broccoli hair too?
>>12686952you sound mad
>>12689147Only zoomers drink water now?
>>12685705pass it through a RO filter first, then add some trace mineral drops and some magnesium bicarbonate. It's quite tasty with a splash of lemon juice.
>>12688994lazy pseudo-intellectual zoomer who probably plays on an emulator and savestates his way through the underwater treasure chest puzzle
>>12689497Real millennial chads get all their liquid intake from Hawaiian Punch and the insides of Fruit Gushers.
>>12690132>Intentionally playing the optional levels you don't like is actually le smart
>>12690152gaming is about the grind, you're not supposed to enjoy everything
>>12690153>IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE GOODAnd you call me pretentious? Shouldn't you be making a Saturn thread right about now?
>>12690157being good or not good isn't the point, you didn't really play mario unless you got every star and did without cheating (that includes ingame teleports; if you used the shortcut to beat koopa in the footrace, you didn't really play)
>>12690158I am unsure if I'm dealing with a troll, but your earlier zoomer accusation betrays the fact you are a self-hating zoomer insecure about his own zoomerdom (many such cases on this board!), which is also corroborated by the fact savestates are the first thing that come to your mind when you think outrunning Koopa the Quick lol. I've been playing Mario 64 my whole life; it was my first ever game, on a PAL N64 unfortunately, but I've played it to death and the fact remains there are parts of the game that aren't that fun, which luckily are optional.
>>12690162unsure if i'm dealing with a zoomer who doesn't know what savestates are or trying to deflect because he can't beat koopa without CHEATING by using teleport shortcuts>I've been playing Mario 64 my whole life; it was my first ever game, on a PAL N64you've been playing it since you were an infant?
>>12690132Meanwhile, save state using zoomers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JhYbnx_h0w
>>12685431Side and lunge jumps are OP if you're creative how you use them. You can pretty much side jump into a wall jump to get more height and momentum.
>>12685431Assuming you're emulating the game, it's worth understanding the original system and what's changed compared to modern systems.For the most part, it's the controller. The N64 pad's analogue stick has a really long pivot compared to most other control sticks that came after it.N64 software is calibrated around this large pivot, such as how easy it is to do smaller movements, so moments that call for tip-toeing are easier on the original controller but may be harder on modern controllers with smaller pivots (depending on how the emulator calibrates this).
>>12685473This also the hole in the moat outside. I could see someone losing their mind trying to figure those out.
