By michaeljordan123 (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

This game is excellent for people at any age and could be one of the best games so far for the ds. This game was originaly for the nintendo 64. There are hundreds of diferent endings so if youre friend tells you won of the endings you are most likely...

Talk to youre friends about it

Pretty much a clone of the original, but keeps you occupied...

By jamesbellini (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

When I first saw this game advertised I was overjoyed - I had forgotten about Mario64 and hearing about its imminent release on DS brought back all sorts of nostalgic memories on my N64, all those years ago...

Brings back memories of the original - nice time waster

Absolutely ridiculous controls - if only DS had an analog stick

Growing up with the SNES, Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo 64 I am a real Mario fan and love most of the games that I have played from the Nintendo team and this game is no exception.

Great game

Super Mario 64 DS

By Chen Reed (pocketgamer.co.uk)

Joined by his friends, it's time for Nintendo's plucky plumber to hop, skip and jump onto dual screen

Well, for one thing, the basic plot hasn't changed much. Princess Peach must be saved from the clutches of evil (again!). But if Mario is the main face of the game - well it's his name in the title - at least he's got some friends to help him out this...

Other Nintendo favourites with their special abilities - Luigi has his high jump, while Yoshi can trap enemies in eggs and Wario can smash big blocks - are on hand too. And collecting power flowers gives each character even better skills such as...

Super Mario 64 DS (DS) review

By NowGamer ArchiveBot (nowgamer.com)

Award: Insane Fun

Old vs new, vs old... oh, this is confusing

Crisp, colourful, stunning. Super Mario 64 is perfect to showcase the DS’ capabilities Good voice acting, although it can be repetitive, but great stereo sound and musical score.

Super Mario 64 DS

By Matthew D. Sarrel (pcmag.com)

The Nintendo 64 classic is back with new characters, stages, and puzzles. Start off as Yoshi and rescue Mario, Luigi, and Wario. Multiplayer mode requires just one game cartridge and four DSs. The minigames are so much fun that they alone are worth the...

Super Mario 64 DS

By Kaleb Rutherford (cvgames.com)

Nintendo has always been known for making great First Party titles. However, Nintendo learned a valuable lesson with the release of the GameCube. For the first time in the history of the company, they released a console without a Mario title. So it...

Overall, Super Mario 64 DS is one of two games available at launch that I would recommend owning. While the controls really take something away from this title, the game is just so much fun and brings back so many fond memories that it is worth the...

Mario 64 is a title that not only showed the world how to make a 3D platformer but is also one of the best Mario titles in recent memories. However, not all things are perfect in this Nintendo DS flagship title.

They packed all the Mario-in-Wonderland gameplay of Super Mario 64 for the ol' N64 into a DS version, cleverly titled Super Mario 64 DS...

Back in the days of the N64, Super Mario 64 took the side-scrolling, platform-hopping, bauble collecting series to a whole new dimension, that being the 3rd, making it a deep, sprawling 3D adventure that was unreservedly lauded because of it. They...

Super Mario 64 DS

By Ash Paulsen (gamesarefun.com)

In closing, Super Mario 64 DS is definitely the quintessential "killer app" of the Nintendo DS launch, and I recommend it to all DS owners. It's really a shame that a well-updated port of an eight-year-old classic is the DS' killer app at launch, but...

Port or not, this is a killer gaming experience any way you look at it, and I recommend it to those who have played (and even mastered) the original just as much as I do the newbies out there (and for you guys, I'm jealous; you're experiencing, for the...

Super Mario 64 DS

It's-a Mario! One of his greatest adventures ever gets an overhaul for the touch screen generation.

It's a portable Mario 64 with lots of added features. What else do you need to know

Control takes some getting used to; limited multi-player

Super Mario 64 DS review for the DS

By Ben_Silverman (gamerevolution.com)

The future is now...again.

Good delivery; Groovy extra mini-games; An improved Super Mario 64

Which was interesting eight years ago; Control and camera issues; Boring multiplayer

It is supremely difficult reviewing a launch title for a strange new system like the DS, but in this case, you should already have a good idea what to expect. Super Mario 64 DS is a solid platformer that offers some notable alterations to a proven game...

However, it's a little odd looking so far back into Nintendo's past as we invest in its future, and you can't help but feel a sense of d'j" vu while traipsing through what is essentially a port. That's not exactly riveting for a launch title. Mario...

Manufacturer's Description


Super Mario 64, the genre-defining Nintendo 64 classic, arrives on the Nintendo DS with all-new features that take full advantage of the new portable system's dual screens, touch screen and wireless multiplayer capability! Play as Mario, Yoshi, Luigi and even Wario. You'll need to use each one's unique abilities to find 150 Power Stars hidden in the castle and grounds. Play through Adventure mode and try your stylus-wielding hand at tons of new touch-sensitive mini-games. Battle up to three friends in Wireless Versus mode, which you can play with only one Super Mario 64 DS game card. Each of the four main characters has multiple jumping moves that cover great horizontal and vertical distances. Each has unique moves: Yoshi can eat enemies and turn them into eggs that he can throw; Mario can punch, kick and wall-jump to great heights; super-strong Wario can break certain blocks; and Luigi can jump incredibly high. Power Flowers give each character even cooler powers, like invisibility, fire breath or the power to float through the air. Answering an invitation, Mario, Luigi and Wario set out for a royal party with Princess Peach. When they arrive at the castle, though, they find it strangely empty. Meanwhile, Yoshi awakes from a rooftop nap to find the castle eerily silent, with Mario, Luigi and Wario nowhere to be seen. Yoshi soon discovers that Bowser has pilfered the castle's Power Stars and imprisoned the Toads in the castle's immense collection of paintings. It's up to the dynamic dino to figure out what happened to Mario, Luigi and Wario and save the day.
