Is this man even a doctor? Can we see his certificate?
Because his only solution to burgeoning bacteria
populations appears to be to indiscriminately chuck
pills at the problem until it resolves itself, one way
or the other. It’s a remake of the 1990 Game Boy
puzzler, with Wario also getting in on the act.

DR MARIO 64 2001


After a dry run on SNES, the N64 saw Mazza fully
commit to the role-playing game genre on paper.
Or should we say, as paper. Flanked by several
whimsical allies – from pink Bob-Ombs to a be-
shaded Lakitu – Mario embarks on an adventure of
devastating wit, while Luigi stays at home.

PAPER MARIO 2000


In which Mario and Bowser take time out from being
mortal enemies to serve up a fast-paced slice of
tennis action. It was distinguished from other tennis
games of the era by its unique flow, fuelled by the
‘charge’ mechanic that gifted you better power and
accuracy over your shots.


MARIO TENNIS 2000


01 Mario Golf 64 1998
Teeing off the range of Mario Sports titles, which would
go on to encompass everything from basketball to ice
hockey, Mario Golf 64 was a relatively straight-laced
arcade golf game with tracks that drew from classic
Mario locations such as Shy Guy Desert and Boo Valley.

02 Mario Party 1998
One of three Mario Party games to hit the N64, this
outing contains over 50 Mario-themed mini-games all
linked together by a traditional dice-roll board game.
Available games ranged from Whack-A-Plant to the
frankly unpronounceable Bombsketball.

03 Mario Artist 1999
Japan-only suite of four connected software tools for
the ill-fated 64DD add-on; Paint Studio (self-explanatory),
Talent Studio (animation software), Polygon Studio
(design and render 3D images) and Communication Kit (to
help you share your creations with other users).
