Super Mario Bros. bc it's the link from Atari-era poo poo that was like just barely representational and not remotely fun to play to modern classics that you can actually go back and appreciate and understand. I think you can honestly and reasonably describe all vidya games as pre-SMB and post-SMB and I don't think you can do that for any other launch title.

I could agree with this. Gonna have to go with SM64 though, I don't have any memories of a pre-SMB world, so that is lost on me. For all I know, videogames have always been fantastic.

SM64 showed just how to properly do a 3D game, and had so many secrets and tricks. The SNES was mostly a NES that just looked nicer, and a couple games had special chips. Super Mario World is just a nice evolution over SMB3, but SM64 is the one that really changed the landscape.

Was Starfox 64 a launch title? That convinced me to get a 64 more than Mario tbh

No. It came out the summer after. Barely in launch window.
