Super Mario 64 was an iconic game on its own—it was the very first time that his adventure took place in a 3D environment. A series that was once limited to side-scrolling was forever changed, and Super Mario 64 introduced millions of fans to so many new possibilities on a 3D console.

The ending of Mario’s first 3D adventure was a moment that would define gaming forever. The final battle against Bowser had him spinning the villain around by his tail, earning him the star to free Princess Peach from the stained glass on her castle.

It was a pivotal moment for all gamers, especially those who had been following the red-capped hero on his journeys since the beginning.
