Super Mario 64 without a single doubt.
An average to good 3D platformer in a gen filled with way, way better options and coming from an exceptional 2D platformer masterpiece as Super Mario World, is exalted as one of and as the very best game by a lot of people not only from its genre or gen but of all time.
There is not a single game that comes remotely close to being as overrated as it is.

I don't agree with this opinion, and many have this opinion. I don't agree because it was the first, so saying "filled with better options" is not fair when you're the pioneer and the creator of the whole concept. It's easy to imitate and add ideas to a concept that you don't have to create from the scratch. Also, in terms of movements not a single platformer from that time had a character as fluid and responsive as mario. The only 3d platformer from that time that could be beside mario 64 is Rayman 2, banjo and kazooie was cool because of the exploration, the whole platforming mechanic was a mess, just like donkey kong 64.
