still find it so odd when people try to use Mario 64 as some bastion of good Star design when most of those stars are "Get to this arbitrary place. Oh, except what you need to get here may not be available until you actually select this star when you enter for no reason whatsoever."

Definitely dumb but the level within a level philosophy of Mario 64 was generally done really well. And Bowser stages in particular are usually really good, crisp platforming. Still some of the best to this day.
