3rd-person. Blazing ahead at a constant zillion mph, with speed boost pads to go even faster. Jumping over stuff. Sliding under stuff. Getting catapulted hundreds of feet in the air.

I distinctly remember hearing about the Blockbuster video rental stores getting the Mario 64 kiosks, so I went to one and got my mind blown running around in 3D space and dodging that chained bowling ball with teeth. Totally a defining moment for Nintendo. I was totally a 64 nutcase from that point onward.
