Honestly M64 is an impressive game but I find it very important to note that he came up with the idea of M64 with a demo of a Yoshi game and perfected it. Guys made later the rushed Croc games. Mario galaxy was for me a more impressive game. People were fast impressed with any platformer game in the early days of 3D platform games but mario galaxy was done in a period that it was so hard to impress people with 3D platform games.

That is a good point actually. It feels like success was a given, but there'd only been one open world 3D mario in the previous decade between Galaxy and 64 in the form of Sunshine and it hadn't pleased everyone. To create a game that is always in the argument for best of the generation in a genre that everyone had moved on from is exceedingly impressive, not to mention following it up with a sequel that some feel was even better.

Like I said, I think it's a testament to the man that there's so many good answers for this question lol
