We’re all guilty

Now that it’s downloadable for Wii U, Super Mario 64 has entered my life again.
It wasn’t my favorite Nintendo 64 title — heck, it wasn’t even my favorite 3D platformer on the console — but it was a formative game and, coming up on two decades later, it remains special. Plus, I just love having a stable of familiar old games to play again on the Wii U GamePad.
While digging into the re-release this week, two certainties about Mario 64 became clear:
1) I’m always, always going to disfigure Mario’s face for a bit before actually playing the game.
2) I’ll never beat that smug penguin to the finish line without falling off the slide at least once.
(Oh, also: the penguin’s baby is annoying and ugly and I hate it.)
