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.

well, seeing as how ALL paper mario games are boring as holy hell...I'd say Mario 64. The only good Marios are Mario platformers and Mario Karts. Some mario sports games are decent but Mario RPGs just suck.

It all depends on your tastes. If you like RPGs, get Paper Mario. If you like Platformers, get Mario 64.

Super Mario 64 is overrated. Clunky controls and nothing happens except 99 lives when collecting all 120 stars.

I would stick with Paper Mario, However, if you don't have the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...... GET THAT GAME!!!!!

Paper Mario by far. Mario 64 is the most overrated game of all time and is much shorter than Paper Mario.

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.

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.

Paper Mario's great but by the end of the game it gets pretty boring and repetitive. Mario 64 is better IMO.

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 .

Mario 64 is for some reason over appreciated on these forums imo. I bought both Mario 64 and Paper Mario, and imo Paper Mario hold up better to the test of time.
No offence to anyone's personal tastes, but Mario 64 is and always has been a pretty poor game.
