\tThat darn washing machine! Which game has been swirled here?
\n\"That<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Mario Golf
\n\t Mario Kart 64
\n\t Mario Party 3
\n\t Mario Party 2\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Mario Party 3.<\/p>\n

It’s definitely Mario, but which one? Mario Party 3<\/a> is the game we were after.<\/p>\n

\"Mario<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tOh, the mice were really hungry with this one! Why didn’t they eat that last mouthful?
\n\"Oh,<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Daikatana
\n\t Hexen
\n\t Duke Nukem: Zero Hour
\n\t The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.<\/p>\n

Come on, who doesn’t have those terrifying The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask<\/a> eyes burned into their brain?<\/p>\n

\"Zelda:<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tWe love Pikachu as much as the next person, but scribbling everywhere but his face? Not cool.
\n\"We<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Pok\u00e9mon Puzzle League
\n\t Pok\u00e9mon Stadium
\n\t Pok\u00e9mon Stadium 2
\n\t Pok\u00e9mon Snap!\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Pok\u00e9mon Puzzle League.<\/p>\n

Pikachu features on a few of the above cover options, but Pok\u00e9mon Puzzle League<\/a> is the only place you’ll find his anime appearance.<\/p>\n

\"Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tUgh, it looks like a nasty water spill has happened on this one. What game was it?
\n\"Ugh,<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Twisted Edge
\n\t Snowboard Kids
\n\t Snowboard Kids 2
\n\t 1080\u00ba Snowboarding\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is 1080\u00ba Snowboarding.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of snowboard games on N64, it turns out, but 1080\u00ba Snowboarding<\/a> is the one we’re looking for here.<\/p>\n

\"1080<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tSomething’s got this one glitching out. Which game does it belong to?
\n\"Something's<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Wipeout 64
\n\t Blast Corps
\n\t Micro Machines 64 Turbo
\n\t Cruis’n USA\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Blast Corps.<\/p>\n

It’s glitched, but it’s still Blast Corps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Blast<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tEww, some mice have chewed this one up real bad! Which game goes inside?
\n\"Eww,<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Star Wars Episode I: Racer
\n\t Top Gear Rally
\n\t World Driver Championship
\n\t Excitebike 64\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Excitebike 64.<\/p>\n

All of those sponsorships look very motorbikey, no? That’s because it’s Excitebike 64<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Excitebike<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tYou leave a game next to your book of impressionism artists and boom! Help us unscramble this one, please?
\n\"You<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Diddy Kong Racing
\n\t Wave Race 64
\n\t Hydro Thunder
\n\t Pilotwings 64\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Pilotwings 64.<\/p>\n

That darn mosaic makes things a little harder to make out, but it’s Pilotwings 64<\/a>, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

\"Pilot<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tThose pesky younger siblings and their crayons! Which box has been doodled on?
\n\"Those<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Banjo-Kazooie
\n\t Banjo-Tooie
\n\t Donkey Kong 64
\n\t Disney’s Tarzan\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Banjo-Kazooie.<\/p>\n

No amount of scribbling can hide the unmistakable jungle backdrop of Banjo-Kazooie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Banjo-Kazooie\"\/<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tWoah, this one has curled up in the heat! Which game is it, when flattened out?
\n\"Woah,<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
\n\t GoldenEye 007
\n\t F-Zero X
\n\t Forsaken\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is F-Zero X.<\/p>\n

A lot of dark backgrounds and explosions in the above options, but if you iron that wobbly cover out, you’d see none other than F-Zero X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"F-Zero<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tOnly one small section survived the sun damage on this one, it seems…
\n\"Only<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Dr. Mario 64
\n\t Bomberman 64
\n\t Puyo Puyo Sun 64
\n\t Tetrisphere\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Dr. Mario 64.<\/p>\n

If the little germ wasn’t enough of a giveaway, the pills behind it should have been! This is Dr. Mario 64<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tLeft this one too close to our NES collection and it got all pixel-y. Which game does it belong to?
\n\"Left<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t F-Zero X
\n\t Jet Force Gemini
\n\t Extreme-G
\n\t Wipeout 64\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Extreme-G.<\/p>\n

If you really squint, you can just about make out the Tron-esque bikes of Extreme-G<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Extreme-G\"\/<\/a> Image: Acclaim Entertainment<\/p>\n

\tYou leave a game next to your kaleidoscope for too long and look what happens!
\n\"You<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Space Station Silicon Valley
\n\t Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls
\n\t Body Harvest
\n\t Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls.<\/p>\n

Those who know who that green face belongs to won’t have had too much trouble here. That’s Iggy, of Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls<\/a> fame.<\/p>\n

\"Iggy's<\/a> Image: Acclaim Entertainment<\/p>\n

\tThis one has a mirror permanently embedded in its middle! (Don’t ask how):
\n\"This<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Fighter’s Destiny
\n\t Killer Instinct Gold
\n\t Flying Dragon
\n\t Mortal Kombat 4\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Killer Instinct Gold.<\/p>\n

Oh my, the action-packed cover of Killer Instinct Gold<\/a> gets a lot more intimate with a mirror split down the middle!<\/p>\n

\"Killer<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tSomeone has been scrapbooking and has cut out their favourite characters. What’s the name of this one, again?
\n\"Someone<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Harvest Moon 64
\n\t Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
\n\t Quest 64
\n\t Mega Man 64\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.<\/p>\n

Notice those two tiny pink arms next to the central cutout? That’s the giveaway! This is Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kirby<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tMould will sometimes send things into the pixel realm, so which cover has been affected here?
\n\"Mould<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Yoshi’s Island
\n\t Yoshi’s Safari
\n\t Yoshi’s Cookie
\n\t Yoshi’s Story\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Yoshi’s Story.<\/p>\n

It’s clearly Yoshi, but only Yoshi’s Story<\/a> came to the N64.<\/p>\n

\"Yoshi's<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tWe seriously need to start setting up traps. Which game has been nibbled here?
\n\"We<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Perfect Dark
\n\t GoldenEye 007
\n\t Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
\n\t Gex 64: Enter the Gecko\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Perfect Dark.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of ‘Hero with Gun’ close-up N64 covers, but this one is Perfect Dark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Perfect<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tYep, humidity will do that. Can you tell the game by that small untouched section?
\n\"Yep,<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Mario Tennis
\n\t Mario Party
\n\t Super Mario 64
\n\t Paper Mario\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Super Mario 64.<\/p>\n

Pixelate it as much as you’d like, we know Super Mario 64<\/a>‘s castle when we see it!<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tYears of resting our mug on that explosion means the rest of the box hasn’t fared so well…
\n\"Years<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Shipwreckers!
\n\t Rayman 2: The Great Escape
\n\t Glover
\n\t Overboard!\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Rayman 2: The Great Escape.<\/p>\n

A couple of red herrings in there (Overboard and Shipwreckers never came to the N64)! There’s a limbless hero fleeing the scene in the full cover of… Rayman 2: The Great Escape<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Rayman<\/a> Image: Ubisoft Montpellier<\/p>\n

\tWe know it’s hot, but was there nothing else to fold into a fan?
\n\"We<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t Forsaken 64
\n\t Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
\n\t Sin & Punishment
\n\t Shadow Man\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is Sin & Punishment.<\/p>\n

It took a long time to come West, but that creased cover is, in fact, Sin & Punishment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Sin<\/a> Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

\tAnd finally, another one with years of water damage… probably:
\n\"And<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life\t<\/p>\n

\n\t WinBack: Covert Operations
\n\t Quake
\n\t Mission: Impossible
\n\t Body Harvest\n\t<\/p>\n

The answer is WinBack: Covert Operations.<\/p>\n

Another in the ‘Hero with Gun’ cover series, this one is WinBack: Covert Operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
