2. Cool Cool Mountain
This is the level in Super Mario 64 that separated the wholesome, good-hearted people that instantly jumped at the opportunity to help a lost penguin chick find her mama… and the monsters that would laugh as the crying chick was flung into the abyss.
Aside from presenting young children with a philosophical dilemma that would shape the future of their morality, Cool Cool Mountain still has so much else going for it!
You have the legendary race with mama penguin that will push your skills (and patience) to the test. Many will try and cheat mama by skipping the course, but most will fail and join her child in the abyss.
Outside in the cold there are a variety of stars to collect that range in challenge from rolling parts of a snowman down a slide, dodging enemies on a perilous bridge, and showing off your wall jumping skills for the first time.
What else can I say? Cool Cool Mountain is just a… cool level.
