Isn't Super Mario 64 third party? It's hal labs, not nintendo

No, it was developed by Nintendo EAD, the largest first party software division within the company.
Smash Bros was HAL Labs, not Mario 64. That being said, HAL Labs worked closely with Nintendo on the title, and Nintendo owns a significant stake in the company.
