Dude, when they first release this game on the n64 it was like the best thing that had ever happen in human life. Over 8 years pass and they remade this game on the nintendo ds which was a really great idea because they added 30 new stars and 3 new playable characters into it, yoshi, luigi and wario.

The only excuse on not getting the one on the ds is if you don't have a ds/dslite, which makes it reasonable to go and buy this game on the wii.
