Banjo isn't really a comparable contemporary.

A fairer comparison would probably be Bubsy 3D or something.

Why not?

More variety would have been nice I suppose, but what is there is unforgettable IMO.

Dire Docks and Dry Dry Desert are in my top 20 "getting high" songs.

The soundtrack is 10/10 and so is everything else. Mario 64 is the best game ever made.

A lot happened in that generation for 3D platforming games. It really is just my opinion, but I think it's probably better to take more specific vertical slices. Like early, mid, and late. Banjo would be better examined alongside Spyro, etc.

Oh, I responded to wrong post. Here's your (you).

I liked every song in the game

I agree there probably weren't enough songs, but the songs that WERE there were pretty amazing

dire dire docks - amazing gorgeous and atmospheric. I love how it gains strings when you enter the water, and when you surface later in the level, it picks up drums
Bowser level music - Very epic and catchy
Boo's mansion - God-tier ambient scary track
Hazy Maze Cave - Again a very special ambient track

I'd like to point out anon that the OST in super mario 64 is suppose to be extremley ambient and Atmospheric for the sake of immersing you into the game.

Alot of the songs themselves can straight up change depending on the area of the level your in or if your in some sort of state like in water or flying.

That's what the artist were trying to accomplish and they did it nearly flawlessly with the ost. Most of them are charming and peaceful while also being catchy and unforgettable.

I think it services the game perfectly. Anything different would've grated while trying to get all a level's stars.
