Super Mario 64 for the N64 was argueably one of the best games of all time. It started the 3-D platformer genre. It was wonderfully made and very innovative. Shigeru Miyamoto has done it again with Super Mario 64 DS. Super Mario 64 DS has splendid graphics that top the N64 by far. The animations are very smooth and the characters are less blocky and have slicker appearances. The stereo sound sounds wonderful with all of those memorable music pieces that are quickly recognized from the 1996 version. Also, the SFX from the minigames are top-notch and are what you'd expect from a Gamecube game. You'll be playing Super Mario 64 DS for a long time and even after you beat Bowser, you want to go through and collect all of the stars. What's different in this version of the game rally makes you go "Oh, wow. That's cool." There are many new rooms in the castle, new worlds, mini-games, more stars to collect, and of course the addition of being able to play as Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. If you have a DS you should go pick up Super Mario 64 DS. Heck, even if you don't have a DS go but one and this game with it. You won't regret it.
