PEACH’S CASTLE (SUPER MARIO 64)
Simply by virtue of being one of the first – if not the first – fully realized 3D hub world in most gamers’ memories, Super Mario 64’s Peach’s Castle deserves a place on this list. But there’s so much here to love beyond just that. Not only was it specifically structured to beckon further exploration, it also acted as a safe ground for trying out your various moves (of which the combinations in this game were countless), as well as being packed with loads of great secrets and easter eggs.
