BoxTrick Ep. 121 – N64 - Mario Party 2, Majora's Mask, Diddy Kong Racing & Star Fox Switch 2 Review!

In Episode 121 of the BoxTrick Podcast, we shift our focus to the legendary Nintendo 64, revisiting some of the console’s most beloved classics while discussing why the N64 remains one of the most influential systems ever released.

This episode, we lace up the skates for Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey, one of the most over-the-top arcade sports games of its generation. With lightning-fast gameplay, huge hits, and pure multiplayer chaos, we discuss why it’s still one of the most fun hockey games ever made.

Next, we hit the track with Diddy Kong Racing, the kart racer that dared to challenge Mario Kart by introducing an adventure mode, multiple vehicle types, and a surprisingly ambitious single-player campaign. We break down what made it so unique and why many fans still consider it one of Rare’s greatest games.

Of course, no Nintendo 64 discussion would be complete without Mario Party 2. We look back at the game that perfected Nintendo’s party formula with unforgettable minigames, iconic boards, and the kind of friendships it may or may not have ended along the way.

We also revisit The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, one of Nintendo’s darkest and most ambitious adventures. From its haunting atmosphere and unforgettable three-day time loop to its incredible side quests and emotional storytelling, we discuss why it remains one of the most unique games Nintendo has ever created.

And before wrapping up, we share our full review of the brand-new Star Fox 64 Remake on the Nintendo Switch 2. We discuss what Nintendo got right, how faithfully it modernizes the N64 classic, the stunning visual upgrade, and where we’d love to see the Star Fox franchise go next.

Whether you’re a lifelong Nintendo 64 fan, a Rare enthusiast, or simply someone who loves revisiting gaming’s greatest classics, Episode 121 is packed with nostalgia, discussion, and appreciation for one of Nintendo’s greatest generations.
