About this product

Product Information

"Super Mario 64" was a launch title for the Nintendo 64 in 1996. It's only fitting that "Super Mario 64 DS" was a launch title for the Nintendo DS in 2004. In "Super Mario 64 DS," a port of the original game, Princess Peach has once again been kidnapped by Bowser. To rescue her, you'll need to traverse her castle and search it room by room. In each castle is an interactive painting that takes you to a new area. The more Power Stars you collect in these areas, the more of the castle you unlock. After achieving 80 Power Stars, you'll unlock the final battle. "Super Mario 64 DS" plays similarly to other Super Mario Bros. titles. You'll run, jump, and stomp on the heads of your enemies. To gain Power Stars, you'll complete objectives in each level. Goals can range from gathering coins to completing quests for NPC characters. While "Super Mario 64 DS" on the Nintendo DS is primarily an action adventure, Nintendo keeps the action fresh. The company does this by regularly introducing new gameplay styles. For example, on one level, you are in a race against multiple opponents. Another stage may challenge your wits instead of your reflexes by having you solve puzzles. This Mario game features a significant number of changes from the Nintendo 64 title. The biggest difference is that you can now play as four characters. While the original game starts with Mario, this one starts with you playing as Luigi. Over the course of the game, you'll unlock the ability to play as Mario, Wario, and Yoshi. Mario appears with his blue overalls, red shirt, and red hat. The other characters are featured in their classic forms as well. Each of these characters has unique abilities to use that are original to this version. Mario can inflate himself like a balloon and float across the level. Luigi becomes invisible and hides from his opponents. Wario can become metal, allowing him to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Yoshi can breathe fire, letting him ignite both enemies and torches. You'll need to master each of these abilities if you want to get every star in this Mario game. "Super Mario 64 DS" adds 30 extra Power Stars to the experience. Each one is hidden somewhere in Peach's home and requires you to use each new ability. The title also takes advantages of the fact that the DS has two screens. The actions of Mario, Wario, Yoshi, and Luigi are always displayed on the top screen while the bottom screen holds an interactive map. If you're looking for a fun way to enjoy this classic, you can use the touchscreen to control your character instead of regular buttons. Once you save Peach from Bowser, the fun is just beginning. Not only does this Super Mario version feature 36 minigames but it also has a multiplayer mode. In multiplayer, up to four friends can fight against each other in various arenas. This DS game can feel like a sequel to the original title instead of a port. Super Mario fans of all ages can find this an excellent addition to their collection.

    Loved these games, happy with the purchase..

    With some known games, there are lots of good small games that I would never buy because of how expensive every Nintendo game is, plus it is very handy to have only one chip instead of several with less games.. Sound and video quality is almost same as original Nintendo games, reaction time with keys is also as aspected..

    Great for the first day

    This was such an experience the first day, but now, no matter what it will randomly tell me “the DS card was removed” even though the game card is still in the system. I am not experiencing this issue with any other physical games. Disappointed :(

    Game arrived on time and does work. However I had a hard time getting it to read on the DS even after trying 2 different ones. Once it eventually read the game, it plays great with no issues

  • Very challenging gaming experience!

    This mario game is super challenging. Alot of the stages feature instant death if fall off the screen. What I mean by that is you have to have really great manuver using the control pad in guiding mario properly, but once you fall off the platform, you have to start over the same painting you previously jumped in. For some people, it can be very frustrating and you may stop trying to conquer the painting you once jumped into. Also here's another challenge, for every painting you jump in, you must know exactly what to do when looking for power stars. That includes in figuring out the puzzles in every painting. That also can be frustrating as well because you have to have the skills in solving in finding every power stars for each painting. For Alot of people it can lead to giving up on playing the game because it's too difficult if you don't have the knowledge in solving puzzles. For me I don't mind it because I'm used to puzzle solving games.

  • Fantastic Product & Incredible Delivery Speed

    Haven't had this game in well over a Decade so I was super excited to snag a copy with all it's original stuff (case, manual) and I was simply amazed at how fast it all got here. If you can find as good as deal on one of these I suggest you jump on it ASAP, can't wait fo run through this and all the goofy mini-games again!

  • A piece of my childhood but portable

    i know alot of people would say the original 64 version is better but the fact that i can play this on my ds makes this my prefferable way to play. plays as good as the original with sone graphical downgrade plus a bunch of mini games( some fun some not so much but all great time killers). I mainly bought this game to introduce my kids to the stuff i grew up on and aint no better way.

  • Mario 64 in your pocket. The nostalgia fit for a college student.

    I have to say, finding this game at a reasonable price was tough since most places charge $30 for this even without the case. I played one level and it was a nice throwback to the N64 era. With this, now my library will be expanded further on various genre to keep the child in me entertained for many many hours without feeling bored or annoying. Thank you Nintendo for making such great games.
