The Super Mario 64 Quiz

When Super Mario 64 launched with the Nintendo 64 in Japan on 23 June 1996, it lifted Mario out of side-scrolling levels and dropped him into fully 3D worlds. A letter from Princess Peach invites him to the castle for cake, but Bowser has got there first, stealing the Power Stars and hiding them in the castle’s walls and paintings. It’s up to Mario to leap into those paintings, explore each course and win the Stars back one by one.

This quiz runs from the easy stuff, like caps and Power Stars, through to bosses, secrets and the special edition that made controllers rumble. Every answer comes with a short explanation and a link to our Super Mario 64 guide, so you can brush up on anything you missed. Here we go!
