Bob-omb Battlefield is a masterpiece within a masterpiece that established a new grammar for 3D movement and invoked a sense of storytelling within traditionally wordless worlds. The first level of Super Mario 64 is a dense possibility space with precisely-tailored progress that leads you across enemy lines and up a mountain in pursuit of its seven perfect stars. Bob-omb Battlefield is worth hanging on the wall. What makes this warzone so welcoming? How many times can you climb the same hill? Do you think love can bloom, even on a battlefield? Light the fuses, man the artillery, and hold on to your flying hats, because this is The Art of the Level: Bob-omb Battlefield. Presented by Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 Season 2. #IGN #SuperMario64 #ArtOfTheLevel
