Collector's Q&A
How much is Super Mario 64 worth?
As of June 2026, a loose cartridge typically sells for $37–$43. Complete-in-box copies sell for around $130. Live links in the Price Check panel show the latest numbers.
Why does complete-in-box cost more?
The original box and manual were routinely discarded, so surviving complete sets are genuinely scarce. The box and manual can add at least $77 over the loose price.
How do I spot a fake cartridge?
Authentic carts have a Nintendo-stamped board inside, factory-molded plastic seams, and a board serial that matches the region label. Phillips-head screws instead of Gamebit screws? Treat it as suspect.
