Super Mario 64 DS

Super Mario 64 The genre-defining Nintendo 64 classic, arrives on the Nintendo DS with allnew features that take full advantage of the new portable system's dual screens, touch screen and wireless multiplayer capability. Each of the four main characters has multiple jumping moves that cover great horizontal and vertical distances. Each has unique moves: Yoshi can eat enemies and turn them into eggs that he can throw; Mario can punch, kick and wall-jump to great heights; super-strong Wario can break certain blocks; and Luigi can jump incredibly high. Power Flowers give each character even cooler powers, like invisibility, fire breath or the power to float through the air. Answering an invitation, Mario, Luigi and Wario set out for a royal party with Princess Peach. When they arrive at the castle, though, they find it strangely empty. Meanwhile, Yoshi awakes from a rooftop nap to find the castle eerily silent, with Mario, Luigi and Wario nowhere to be seen. Yoshi soon discovers that Bowser has pilfered the castle's Power Stars and imprisoned the Toads in the castle's immense collection of paintings. It's up to the dynamic dino to figure out what happened to Mario, Luigi and Wario and save the day.

Play as Mario, Yoshi, Luigi and even Wario. You'll need to use each one's unique abilities to find 150 Power Stars hidden in the castle and grounds.

Play through Adventure mode and try your stylus-wielding hand at tons of new touch-sensitive min-games.

Battle up to three friends in Wireless Versus mode, which you can play with only one Super Mario 64 DS game card.

User Reviews about Super Mario 64 DS

I remember playing the original game for the N64 when I was 10 and it is still just as enchanting on the DS, with a few new features -- great port of the old N64 game

It's a cool game, in terms of the relatively 3d gameplay. Maybe I'm just getting too Mario'd out after years of PC, Wii, and now DS Mario games. Still, my kids like it and play it fairly often :) -- decent game

The 3 types of controls are not as good as the n64 version (for me anyway), but practice does make perfect.

The graphics are some of the best for the DS - sometimes look a bit pixel-elated but are not that bad. The game has some great environments that you'll recognize from the n64 version, but you'll also come across some new worlds. Each world has at least 8 missions for you to complete. The name of the mission(s) is pretty- self-explanatory to what you have to do to complete the mission. For example... you're in a level with lots of lava and the 1st mission is called "Boil the Big Bully." Another mission is called "Foot Race with Koopa the Quick," and each mission is very fun!

You can play as 4 characters that don't need much introducing. They are the people on the front of the case: Mario in the middle(of course); Luigi, fastest of them
all; Wario, good strength; Yoshi, kinda in the middle (but jumps longer and higher).Overall, great game, fun experience, good graphics. 7 1/2 out of 10. -- Tricky controls but good game overall

Great game, brilliant update of a classic favorite. A little different, but still enough the same (and I love the multiple character feature). -- Super Mario 64 DS

The game is all good its just that you try to straighten out the game. They dont really tell you what to do in the game. -- Clueless what to do...
