Why I Love Super Mario 64 | A Personalized Retrospective

Video Description

Just another personalized retrospective about one of the most cherished games of all time. This is a video covering Super Mario 64 and the boundless potential of creativity, skill, and expression it has unleashed, and how it all plays into my love for the game. P.S. I was experimenting with a new microphone during the making of the video, so sorry if my audio sounds a little different in this one.
