After a long and tiring session of trying to figure out how to put Doom on a website for a project via jsDOS, I decided to kick back and relax with Super Mario 64. I went ahead and hopped into Jolly Roger Bay, which is one of my favorite levels in the whole game (bold take, I know.)

I went ahead and did the ship star first. I usually do the star in the cave first because I struggle with that damn eel so much (or if you were younger me then it just creeped the fuck out of you). This one when I do it, I always try to race up to the top before the water fades down. Right now my current best is the second closest platform. I bet a speed runner or someone good at them game could get it quick though.

After that I hopped back in to do the cave star. I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but the level always looks wrong after you clear all the fog. Like before It seemed nice and cool and a nice place to relax and take a nap, and without the fog it kind of lost all that character.

Before the cave star, I got side tracked with the platform, trying to get up it for some reason despite knowing only red coins were up there. I ended up calling it quits though after slipping off the platform for the 5th time though.

After that though, I stopped and just started kind of looking around (something I’ve found this game to be very good for). I ended up observing the fish tanks and how there Is light coming out of them, which is something I kind of never considered. Especially because as far as I know we can’t see any lights in there. Idk, it’s just something I thought was interesting.

There was so much magic in this game. That soundtrack and overall atmosphere was incredible. I remember trying it in little bite-sized pieces at Toys R Us and the McDonald’s lobby and being really blown away.
