Mistakes and Grammar Errors

  • A typo exists in the game's script. It was fixed for the Virtual Console version, however. Go to the top of the castle, and talk to Yoshi. He will start his speech with, "Mario!!! It that really you???". It should be, "Mario!!! Is that really you???" in order for it to be grammatically correct.
  • If Mario is one star short of opening a door, it says "You need 1 more Stars."
  • In the VC version of the game, the Chain Chomp's mouth and tongue are purple instead of red in the N64 version.
  • If you have 4 or less HP and you get squished by a Thwomp, Mario will be squished and dissapear into thin air.

References in/for Games

References to Other Games

  • Super Mario Bros. - A carving of Mario from this game appears on a pillar in Bowser in the Sky.
  • Super Mario World - Yoshi says to Mario that they haven't shared an adventure in ages, and the last adventure they went through together was in this game. Also the idea of Switch Palaces is in a way brought back.

References in Later Games

  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Due to all the rumours involving the mysterious carvings on the star statue surrounded by Boos that supposedly read,"L is Real 2401", the very same carving returned in this game. This game also uses a heavily modified version of the game engine used here.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - One of the characters is seen with a Mario mask. Like its predecessor, Ocarina of Time, it also runs on the same modified Super Mario 64 engine.
  • Paper Mario - This game starts the same way, with a letter being sent from Peach. Peach's Castle returns and the main room is near identical (however the doors do lead to different rooms).
  • Super Mario 64 DS - This game is a remake of Super Mario 64. Also, at the start, Yoshi is on the roof and jumps down, a reference to the fact that he is there at the start of Super Mario 64.
  • Mario Kart 64 - Peach's Castle is hidden in the Royal Raceway.
  • Super Smash Bros. - When Mario's shield breaks in this game he acts the same as he does when he has low health here. Two levels based on places here are also accessible, such as Metal Mario's Stage and Peach's Castle.
  • Mario Kart Super Circuit - Peach's castle reappears in the background of Peach Circuit and Mario Circuit 4.
  • Mario Kart DS - Tick Tock Clock appears as a race track in this game. Several bosses found here also reappear in this game.
  • New Super Mario Bros. - This game uses many things found here, such as Dorrie, and a Bowser head closes in on the screen when the player dies.
  • Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - The game starts in the same way, Peach sends Mario another letter.
  • Super Mario Galaxy - The game starts in the same way, Peach sends Mario another letter, while the Bowser levels resemble the ones in "Super Mario 64" and use the same theme.
  • Super Smash Bros. Melee - Two levels based on areas from Super Mario 64 appear Princess Peach's Castle and Metal Mario is a trophy.
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Music from Bob-omb Battlefield is unlockable.
  • Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! - Wrinkly Kong plays this game sometimes in her Save Caves.

Trivia

  • There are many glitches in this game, that, when utilized, allow a player to complete the game with 16 stars in as little as 16 minutes, instead of the previously required 70 stars. Up until recently, those glitches were the only known, however now there are glitches to beat the game with 1 or even 0 stars in 5 minutes.
  • Mario's method of defeating Bowser in this game is identical to the one he used in The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach. He also used this technique during their battle in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode Mario Meets Koopzilla.

The flying fish Easter egg.
  • The title screen of the game features the ability to grab Mario's face with the hand cursor and distort it in various bizarre ways.
  • In the beta level, Mario's third jump in his triple jump would cause him to do his helicopter spin which was eventually only available to when he jumped on certain enemies.
  • When Super Mario 64 was being localized for the English speaking countries, many small changes were made. For example, Princess Toadstool never reads her letter aloud in the Japanese version of Super Mario 64. In 1997, Super Mario 64 was re-released in Japan as "Shindou edition." It featured all the changes from the English game, plus rumble pack support.
  • As a little Easter egg, sometimes when Mario jumps out of water a fish flies out with him. As shown by the picture above, this is much easier to do when jumping out of shallow water.
  • In the Japanese version of the game, the portrait for Jolly Roger Bay depicts several bubbles, while the international version shows the sunken ship at the bottom of the level. Super Mario 64 DS has the Japanese version's painting for all regions.
  • If there's another N64 controller connected to the Nintendo 64, the second player can control the camera while Peach congratulates Mario.
