Finally using my N64 more and need some games, any suggestions?

So many good games on N64, but if I had to recommend a few off the top of my head:
Paper Mario
Kirby 64: Crystal Shards
Blast Corps
Harvest Moon 64
Jet Force Gemini
Mario Tennis
Mario Party 1-3 were all a lot of fun, too
 
definitely Harvest Moon 64 and Paper Mario 64. also if you can get your hands on it Majora's Mask, but it's probably pretty pricey........

if you end up getting any of the Mario Party games though as people are suggesting be careful bc MP1 has some really infamous stick rotation minigames that caused enough injuries in its era for Nintendo to get in hot water over it :')
 
As the title suggests, I got another N64 a few years ago to replace my childhood one that I lost many years ago and I've been trying to use it more and have bought a few more games for it but I'm pretty stumped on what else I should get, so any suggestions help!
So far the only games I really have are Mario Kart, Goldeneye, SM64, both Pokémon Stadiums and a BUNCH of racing games.

First of all, nice selection! Those are some of the best titles already, crazy how many racing games were on the 64!
Just looking at my own collection I'll add a few:

-Super smash bros
-Gex: Enter the Gecko
-Worms Armageddon (imo the 64 version is the good entry in this series, went downhill afterwards)
-You're either a Zelda fan or you're not but there is Majora's mask
-Paper Mario
-Donkey Kong 64
-Space Station Silicon Valley
-You most likely have it but F-Zero X
-Starfox 64
 
I haven't read all the previous posts, but I'll throw some names of games that I liked a lot and are very underappreciated.

- Snowboard Kids 1 and 2 (I think 2 was only released in Japan, so you'll need to break the physical lock of your console to play it): it's Mario kart but with snowboarding, too good to pass up

- Extreme G (there's 2 games in this series, but both are equally good): it's a futuristic motorcycle game, like, imagine Wipeout but with motorcycles. Some designs look like Kaneda's from Akira

- Winback Covert Operations: the true father of third person cover shooters

- Chameleon Twist: lovely platformer, full of charm.

Oh, I forgot some!

- Buck Bumble
- Mischief Makers
- Blast Corps
- Space Station Silicon Valley
- Wave Race
- Sim City 2000 (I played on a japanese cart, I don't know if it was released outside Japan)
- WCW versus NWO Revenge
- Aerofighters Assault

+1 for Mischief Makers, that was an excellent game!

Blast Corps is one of the best games on N64. I haven't ever played a game anything like it on any other system.
 
@TheWildShadow55 did you end up getting any "new" games for n64? what did you decide on? :)
I haven't been able to use my N64 in a few weeks unfortunately, but yes! I have bought quite a few of the suggestions mentioned here, I've been enjoying them a lot and I really do appreciate how much people showed out for my thread lol
 
My favorites that I have are:
Paper Mario
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Mario Party 1, 2, & 3
Yoshi’s Story
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario 64
Banjo Tooie
Donkey Kong 64

I’m just gonna push for Paper Mario like some of the others have said. It is SO GOOD. I have replayed it so many times, I replay it as least once a year because the story is so good. I love it so so much. If you like RPG games it’s perfect.
 
Pretty much most of the games mentioned above. Surprisingly, the Star Wars racing game for N64 where you're Anakin as a lil kid was pretty fun. I never owned it but played it at my grandmas house in Georgia and I was surprised at how chill of a game it was, especially for a racer. The only racing games I've only really been into like that are that one and F-Zero X. Mario Kart of course is good but the only Mario Kart game I could probably still play to this day is Double Dash but that's for Gamecube.

The Pod Racer game? That game was amazing! One of the best racing games on N64!

Yeah that one. Funny thing is I never even beat it. But I noticed they have a very slightly remastered version (the cut scenes only actually but still) on the Switch and I've been meaning to buy it so I can play through it and beat it how I never got the chance.

I remember there were some crazy glitches/cheats in that game... Pretty sure on one track you could go in reverse past the finish line, then go forward to pass the finish line and it would count for a completed lap... made for some fun glitched out races with friends.
