Unexpected ;

Can't find the missing or extra semi-colon. Looked for it a long time. Please help!

VideoGamesController.cs 
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Treehouse.Models;

namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
    public class VideoGamesController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Detail()
        {
            VideoGame vg = new VideoGame()
            {
               Title = "Super Mario 64";
               Description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.";
               Characters = new string[]
                 {
                    "Mario",
                    "Princess Peach",
                    "Bowser",
                    "Toad",
                    "Yoshi"
                 } ;  
             };
              return View(vg);

        }
    }
}
Detail.cshtml 
@model Treehouse.ComicBooks.Models;
@{
    Model.PageTitle = "Video Game Detail";
}

<h1>@Model.Title</h1>

<h5>Description:</h5>
<div>@Model.Description</div>

<h5>Characters:</h5>
<div>
    <ul>
        @foreach (var character in Model.Characters)
        {
            <li>@character</li>
        }
    </ul>
</div>
VideoGame.cs 
namespace Treehouse.Models
{
    // Don't make any changes to this class!
    public class VideoGame
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public string[] Characters { get; set; }
        public string Publisher { get; set; }

        public string DisplayText

            get
            {
                return Title + " (" + Publisher + ")";
            }
        }
    }
}

There are a few extra semicolons.

On lines 12 and 13, there are semicolons where there should be commas.

And on line 21, there's a stray extra semicolon.

It can take a while to get used to semicolons separating statements, but commas separating items in an object.
