It is undoubtedly one of the best Nintendo 64 games and it is well deserved. We are talking about Super Mario 64, whose influence seems to go beyond the field of video games. This is what the study we bring you today points to.
This is a study that was carried out a few years ago, in 2024. It states that playing Super Mario 64 DS on a regular basis seems to alter the players’ perception of space. Those who engaged in this game showed a tendency to map objects in their environment in relation to other elements of their environment, rather than in relation to themselves.
The game seems to influence how people process and perceive the space around them. It comes to be related to cognitive psychology and video game design, as you can see below:
