They are both truly amazing games and it is hard to say which one you should buy. Super Mario 64 is Very long ( you can collect 120 stars) and has over 20 amazing levels. Paper Mario's story is incredible and the fighting system is epic. I suggest you play Super Mario 64 first even though Paper Mario is my favorite game of all time. I say that because Super Mario 64 is the better game in most people's eyes, just not mine. Buy both if you can- They are both near perfect games.
Mario 64 is the most overrated game of all time.Rocky32189
For its time, it wasn't. Didn't it revolutionize and define the 3D platformer back in '96?

I'm talking by today's standards. People are saying its the best game of all time. Give me a break. There have been tons of platformers that have blown away Mario 64 since.
Paper Mario still holds up to this day as one of the best; Mario 64 doesn't.
I got bored with Super Mario 64 on the DS very quickly soon after I beat it.
So I think I'll say Paper Mario.

Thats like saying TP is better then OoT please SM64 set the standard of a 3d platformer and was very enjoyable game and revolutionized 3d platformers. Anyway on topic: I would say for now Super Mario 64 but if you get the chance get Paper Mario both still great games.[QUOTE="rebfan1993"][QUOTE="Rocky32189"] Mario 64 is the most overrated game of all time.Rocky32189

Tons? Like what? Sonic Adventure? Crash Bandicoot? Spyro? Banjo Kazooie? Ape Escape? Jak and Daxter? Ratchet & Clank? All good mascot platformers, but none of these are all-time classics that will still be remembered 11 years down the line like Super Mario 64.
Having played many 3D plaformers i.e. Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Banjo Kazooie, etc. I have to say that I've never liked ANY of the Mario 3D games. It's just my personal preference. (Cue bashing by Mario fans).
However, all three Paper Mario games are among my favorites all time. I can't tell you how many times I've played through Paper Mario and I still love it.
Paper Mario all the way!

Mario 64 is remembered for revolutionizing 3D platforming titles. It still plays, but yeah. Ape Escape, Jak, R&C. Those series are all better than Mario 64. They've surpased it by means of control, design, and graphics. I'm not saying Mario 64 is bad, but its legacy is by creation only, not by how well its held up. It just doesn't hold up as well as even the first SMB title, let alone 3 or 4 (SMW). Recommending a game for solely what it did isn't wise. Just because Wolfenstein 3D was the first FPS, doesn't mean it was the best to ever come out. Just like Mario 64, thats what its remembered for. Being the first, not the best.
TC, if you want a 3D Mario platformer, either get Sunshine or get Mario 64 for DS. I'd stick with Paper Mario for VC .
