- Some titles are intriguing takes on conventional vehicle-based games. "Blast Corps" puts the player in charge of clearing a path for a fire truck loaded with a nuclear missile. The player must commandeer various vehicles and robots to destroy any building standing in the missile's way.
"Space Station Silicon Valley" stars a computer chip, of all things, that can take over animals. The player must help rescue a human trapped in a spaceship by controlling animals with various powers to complete tasks. The game features themed zones, including a jungle safari and a desert. - A rare 2D platformer for N64, "Mischief Makers" is considered weird primarily for its wacky plot scenario. The player controls a mechanized cleaning maid who has to battle robots and solve puzzles. The game features distinctive combat; the central character can pick up obstacles and shake them to defeat monsters.
"Conker's Bad Fur Day" appears to be a typical 3D platformer, but what makes it strange -- especially on the family-friendly N64 -- is its star: a foul-mouthed, bawdy squirrel who wakes up in a bizarre world filled with lewd enemies. The game features a hefty dose of toilet humor permeating its puzzle-filled levels. - Some titles bring a wacky feel to this genre. "Mystical Ninja starring Goemon" is one example. Players control a team of odd characters, including an overweight man with a hammer, in a bid to save Japan from a band of evil dancers. Along the way, the player must battle giant robots, explore castles, and listen to theme tunes that play each time the player gets on his giant sumo robot ally.
"Paper Mario" continues the adventures of the famous Nintendo mascot, with the plumber exploring locations in a non-linear world. The aesthetics of the game make "Paper Mario" a little odd, with Mario rendered in 2D (hence the title) while exploring 3D worlds filled with wacky characters. - Some N64 games are weird simply because they defy genre. "Glover" is in some ways both a puzzle game and a 3D adventure title. Players control a glove traveling with a magic ball. Players interact with the ball by throwing it or changing its form, for instance, and can use the ball to overcome obstacles throughout the game's levels.
In "Pokémon Snap," a safari-like game based on the popular Nintendo series about pocket monsters, the player must take photos as they travel around the world of the Pokémon. Sixty Pokémon appear in the game, and players can interact with the creatures in various ways. For example, players can throw toys for interesting snaps.
