User Rating: 8.5 | Super Mario 64 DS DS
The original is a highlight of the system, the new one is a worthy buy. It adds a surprisingly lot for a remake, (or update) and is a ribbon of memory's flowing back. While it doesn't add enough to really fill up the void time created, it certainly leaves you satisfied.

Unless your a veteran of the game then, then its really little more than a short-lived quick and fresh rerun of your favorite classic (which many of us, including me, still own).

Graphics - 9
They look and play really nicely on the DS, but still have at some times the grainy and choppy quality.

Sound - 10
Amazing sound tracks, memorable effects and an overall phenomenal sound environment.

Gameplay - 8
The camera persists to be annoying, as in the original, and the gameplay feels a little dated. Though it still delivers fully.

Overall - 8.5
You might as well play the original, it really doesnt add a whole lot new to the game it began as. Nonetheless, its a pretty good game and an easy recommendation. Another factor bringing it down, is its boring multiplayer.
