One of the best games has gotten even better.
User Rating: 9.7 | Super Mario 64 DS DS
The original Super Mario 64 is one of the best games ever, no doubt on it. Nintendo ported the same Super Mario 64 for the DS as launch title with some improvements. 1st of all the story is a little different. Mario, Luigi and Wario went to rescue princess Peach but never returned, so the player starts now as Yoshi and besides getting all the stars, he now rescues also the missing characters. Once you unlock them, you can use them. Each character, when powered up with a power flower has their unique ability. Mario gains the ability of floating, Luigi turns himself invisible to enemies and also can walk through fences. Yoshi spits fire and Wario turns to metal Wario, which makes him invincible. Oh, besides the characters addition, there are also more starts, instead of 130, there are 150 stars to collect...AND MINIGAMES. Minigames are unlocked when the player catches a rabbit. Each character has their specific minigame, and the location of the rabbits varies from character to character. The minigames use the touch screen and are fun fun fun! You can also play Super Mario 64 DS in multiplayer against 3 opponents. Cool thing is that only one card is necessary to play it. Gameplay- The controls can be a little frustrating at times, or at some levels, but not problematic, you will get used to them. Graphics- Are pretty neat for the DS, better than the n64 version. Sound- The surround is awesome. Value- HUGE! You won't stop until you get all the stars, and even if you get the stars, you won't get bored with the minigames. Conclusion. If you own a DS, this game is a must have. BUY IT
