I'm the opposite, I liked the outside part but found the inside kind of boring. It didn't help that the camera didn't control too well near the ceiling of the pyramid either.

>>3911803
I skip rainbow ride entirely when I replay SM64, that level is a chore to do.

Anonymous Sat Apr 8 20:25:30 2017 No.3912160

Yet another example of how the controls and camera of that game are so pathetically bad that you might as well depend on 100% luck or be one of these OCD people that play it a million times and memorize exact positioning and timing like it was a goddamn Dragon's Lair game.

>>3912164
Maybe I should play more Dragon's Lair then.

Because that's the only way to get better at Mario 64: sheer memorization and robotic movement. Compare that to old 2d platformers which allowed you to be reactive because the whole thing wasn't some random "point the stick 37.23 degrees, wait until you pass this exact point at 46, 33 on the map and then rotate to 84.4 degrees, wait 4.8 seconds then hit jump" bullshit. You could actually, you know, SEE what was coming and know that you wouldn't jump out into the nothingness because of some random goddamn camera fling or because you were off by .7 degrees.

It is amazing to me that no one ever actually refutes what I say about SM64, they just reply to me with mad BS like you are.

Are you all just angry that Nintendo paid reviewers and manipulated the industry to make Mario 64 and their other subpar N64 titles successful and make the public think they were good games even though they really weren't?

Because I think that's what's going on here.

What puzzles? Are there really people out there who are so stupid they were puzzled by the mechanics in wet dry world?

There are a grand total of two water levels you have to use to get all the stars. Highest and lowest.

You probably think you have to use the carpet in Rainbow Ride for anything other than the big house too.

Actually I take this back, you only have to RIDE the carpet for the big house star. You have to use it as a platform for 2 others, but you don't need to ride it.

The star where you have to stand on the 4 pillars is one of my favorite stars in SM64. The feeling of accomplishment I got as a kid when the top of the pyramid exploded was unreal. Plus the unexpected boss fight at the end was great.

Truly a great moment for 8 year old me.

HMC, LLL and WDW are some the worst levels in the game

TTM, WFT, TTC, JRB, BOB are the best.
WFT was my favorite as a kid (the first one I got all stars), and probably still is (I just love it, don't ask why - I guess it's comfy)

BBH is the worst and also has crappy music

I really prefer kazooie but i enjoyed hazy maze cave and tick tock clock.
Also the Snowlevel with the penguin.

A level i absolutely hate is the shitty desert you mentioned. Pain for the eyes and that shitty red coins in mid air.
Inside the pyramide its fine except if you stuck in sand.
