There really isn't much of a contest. The classic Crash games were REALLY fun, and well made, don't get me wrong. In fact, I really wish Naughty Dog would go back to making games like Crash and Jak, but they won't.
But comparing these two games? Crash was good, but was for the most part a limited, even at times "on-rails" feeling platformer. Whereas Mario 64 was the first truly FULLY 3D action/platformer game. As in Mario had a full range of motion and movement, and could run around and explore big 3D environments. It was a fully realized 3D gaming concept, that would be copied and emulated in it's own way, just as much as Super Mario Bros. had been for 2D gaming a decade before.
Crash was a lot of fun. Mario 64 was groundbreaking, and in many ways a masterpiece of it's time. It wasn't PERFECT. But it was amazing for 1996.
