    2nd person is watching your character from the viewpoint of someone else.

    3rd person is when you see your character from the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t exist.

    Mario 64 is played through the viewpoint of a guy in a cloud with a camera. Which makes it 2nd person.

    If the character wasn’t there it would be third person (like the side scrolling Mario games)
