While the 3D technology had been used since the 1980s, no game before Super Mario 64 was able to implement free movement in all three axes (up/down, left/right, depth) while also featuring a fully immersive world built in 3D. Super Mario 64 is not only the first 3D platformer but also one of the grandfathers of open-world games. Finally, by timing a crouch before a jump, the player could leap forward, reaching long distances, while crouching when Mario’s already in the air results in a ground stomp. If the same principle of changing directions and jumping was applied when Mario hit a wall, the player could wall jump. By changing direction quickly just before a jump, Mario could use friction to lateral jump. If the player decided to move Mario with the control stick at the same time they jumped, a triple jump also became possible. The height control by holding or tapping the jump button would be back, but by timing multiple jumps in sequence, Super Mario 64 allowed the player to double jump. That means that Mario’s basic jump needed to be expanded in Super Mario 64 to allow players to reach every corner more efficiently. With levels fully built-in 3D, there’s a lot more for a player to explore. This philosophy would once again orient the design of the first 3D platformer in history. used the technological limitation as a source of creativity by adding multiple possibilities to a single action. The design of Mario’s jump in Super Mario Bros. Nevertheless, the change for 3D demanded a whole new approach. This flexible and controllable jump would become the bread and butter of every 2D Super Mario game forever. By tapping or holding the jump button, the player could also control the height of the jump, allowing more precision and diversity around a single mechanic. gave players the possibility to run in order to increase the jump length, also adding a simulated friction that gave the combo of running and jumping a unique feel.
