Well, 64 has a huge disadvantage in that it is now old. At the time it was amazing, intuitive, and more fun than much else out there. I never completed it in its original form, but played through all 150 stars of the DS remake. If we were reviewing them the typical way we would break it down.
Name(Why rate this?): Obvious victory to Galaxy.
Sound 64: Good tunes and soundeffects. Mario's "oofs" can get a tad repetitive.
Sound Galaxy: Orchestrated songs that (Gasp?) don't cause mild insanity after long play sessions. Great simple sound effects give a feeling of actuall action. Winner!
Graphics 64: Great for its time, it featured large enviroments and some amazing 3D forms of familiar badguys.
Graphics Galaxy: Actually beatiful. The graphics are clean, crisp, and functional. The bosses, bad guys, and enemies look awesome, but don't distract from your goals. Winner!
Gameplay 64: Sharp controls, short learning curve, and brilliant levels to play through. This game offered an excellent expirience across man different worlds, ensuring that you never get bored(Actually, going up and down those staircases was a little bit boring.)
Gameplay Galaxy: Great controls coupled with excellent animations give you a sense of actually controlling Mario. The level designs are intuitive, yet varied. Winner!
The Winner is Galaxy! (Nobody saw that coming.)
If you consider the impact that had in their own times however, 64 blows Galaxy away.
