I really can't decide what game I like better ;_;

Mario 64 or Mario Galaxy. They're both really damn good. ;_; Mario Galaxy had better controls and level designs, but lacked a certain charm that 64 had, and was a bit linear and the free roam levels weren't as big as 64's. The music was definitely better, but some of it wasn't as memorible as 64's tracks. I prefer the happy energetic ice-world music from 64 than the slow real-time orchestra ice music from Galaxy. But 64's controls were often unforgiving and definitely not as good as Galaxy's. They were slippery and the N64 and VC controllers definitely aren't that great for playing Mario 64. That said, dispite the fact that some levels were designed funky and there were alot of give away stars (i.e. talking to a toad and him just handing you the star), there were things I missed from Mario 64 to Mario Galaxy. Galaxy lacked a real cave level like Mario 64's, and it's only snow world wasn't as happy as Mario 64's.

In the end, both are fantastic games, but I really can't decide which on I like best. ;_;

i haven't played galaxy, but i never really found the controls on 64 to be 'slippery' or 'unforgiving' (well, maybe a few times on that ice slide when you race with the penguin). :B i guess you just get used to it?

oh, and when you had to swing bowser around by the tail it was pretty slow starting off sometimes... so yeah, i get what you're saying.

Mario 64 had TWO snow worlds D:

this is completely irrelevant
but
am i the only person who though the second one really sucked >_>

you had the humungo slide mountain one, and the big snowman one...

Dammit, I need a wii and SM64 now ;_;

I vastly prefer Galaxy, myself.

Oh, and you seem to be leaning toward Mario 64...

Galaxy replaced those lame "talk to toad in castle or wash the crud off a bell = free star" things with actual level challenges or minigames, making the game feel longer.
