    StarFox64 still holds up tremendously well. The blocky and simple art design makes it visually easy to read, and the gameplay is solid.

        It really holds up, probably moreso than most N64 games. There’s so much fun in the simplicity of wrecking things.

    Happy to see Perfect Dark so well represented - it was a hell of a hidden gem; it got sorta overshadowed by Goldeneye in the collective memory but it was one of those rare and shining examples of a sequel that perfectly added great and innovative next steps to the winning formula of the good first game without mucking up the core mechanics any.

    I agree with most of these lists. I would add Banjo Kazooie! Just finished a replay of it (N64 version, not XBLA) and it mostly holds up.

    Diddy Kong Racing. Mario Kart with flight, I don’t know how it never got huge.

    Edit: After Ocarina of Time of course. That was defining.

    Majoras Mask, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and Goemons Great Adventure are some of my all time favorites.

    Jet Force Gemini was my top go to game quickly followed by Conkers Bad Fur Day. Cruisi’n USA deserves an honorable mention as well!

    I’ve gotta rep one of my all time favorite party games to this day (ported to PC) Worms Armageddon. They’ve had several sequels, but I believe that was the last one to use that particular physics engine, and every game since has just felt a bit… Hollow?

    Also +1 to Paper Mario - S-Tier RPG, best of the whole series IMHO, tho the GameCube sequel TTYD is deserving of a very close second. I wish so bad they’d make a return to badges and acquiring new buddies and buddy upgrades throughout the game. The oragami king battle mechanics did not do it for me, and with it being the core mechanic of the game just soured my whole experience despite the rest of the game being pretty solid.

      I bought Sticker Star real excited for Paper Mario, and hated it. Every attack is a consumable item? No thanks.
