瑪利歐故事 (僅卡帶)

Finally got this to complete my N64 collection — the label is in great shape and the pins are clean, no issues booting up. The RPG combat is surprisingly deep for a Mario game, and the story keeps you hooked.

The artwork on this cart is crisp and the save battery still held my file from years ago, which is a nice bonus. I’ve been playing it on my old N64 and the balance between story and combat is spot-on for a long weekend.

It’s rare for an RPG to nail the difficulty curve this well—easy enough to pick up, yet with enough depth to keep you strategizing. The story pulls you through the world instead of just dumping side quests on you. Paper Mario fans will feel right at home.
