Super Mario 64 DS

Super Mario 64 DS (originally called Super Mario 64 x 4 ) is a game from the Super Mario series made for the handheld game system Nintendo DS. The game is a remake of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay and graphics. Unlike Super Mario 64, Mario is not the only playable character (nor is he even available at the start); Yoshi, Luigi and Wario also join the adventure in order to rescue Princess Peach from the hands of Bowser. Other new features within the game include a multi-player mode, in which up to four players can play simultaneously on each Nintendo DS connected together locally; minigames to play with each character, and new additions to the story mode such as new missions and levels. It was also the first Mario game to be released on the Nintendo DS.

General
Peach writes a letter to Mario, telling him to come to her castle because she baked a cake for him. This letter is assumed to be a clever forgery from Bowser, who guesses that Mario and his friends would come looking and so employs his minions to capture them beforehand.

Apparently, Luigi and Wario somehow read the letter themselves and catch up behind Mario. Although surprised to see the other two are there, Mario lets it go and the trio start to run up to the castle when Wario bumps into the two. Mario and Luigi stare at him while Wario just chuckles. The three stop and race into the castle, when Bowser ambushes them and they, according to Toad, jump into the Bob-omb painting to retrieve the Power Stars after Bowser takes them and captures Princess Peach.

Yoshi is asleep, only to be awakened by one of the Lakitu Bros.. He is seen on the roof (possibly a reference to Super Mario 64), but somehow ends up in front of the castle when woken, probably carried there by the Lakitu who realizes that the red, green, and yellow plumbers haven't returned to the pipes to leave, and instructs Yoshi to locate them.

Yoshi tries to enter the castle, but the doors are locked. The Lakitu Bro. says that he saw a Rabbit with the key. After grabbing the rabbit, the rabbit gives up the key to Yoshi. When Yoshi finally enters, he hears Bowser's voice telling him "no one's home" and to "scram". Toad tells him Bowser has kidnapped Peach and stolen the Power Stars. He also says the last time he saw the plumbers is when they jumped into the Bob-omb painting. Yoshi decides to investigate.

After being found, the quartet hunts for the rest of the stars. Some of them are hidden so well that Bowser does not even know about them. After collecting at least 80 stars, the player can finally fight Bowser for the final time. Mario ascends a staircase at the top of the castle to face Bowser for the final time. After making it through another one of Bowser's obstacle courses, Mario encounters Bowser and the two battle.

Bowser ends up defeated, gives up and hands Mario the Giant Power Star before he explodes. When Mario grabs the final Power Star, wings suddenly appear on his cap allowing him to fly.

Finally, he lands in front of the castle where Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi are waiting for him. As his wings fade away, Mario uses the power of the Power Stars to make Peach appear in front of the castle. All four rush up to her as she wakes up. Peach is surprised to see the other three but she still thanks them, Peach kisses Mario and says they will make a cake for her heroes. Peach and the heroes walk into the castle. Yoshi starts to do so himself, but then pauses and turns around to look at the player. Peach calls his name and Yoshi runs in after the four. The credits roll and after the credits, the cake, with Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi figures, is shown at the very end.

There are two alternate endings for Super Mario 64 DS. The first involves the player not rescuing Wario. During the ending, Mario lands only with Yoshi and Luigi. From then on, the cutscene continues as does the good ending without the attendance of Wario. In the second alternate cutscene, the player will have to not save Luigi which ultimately leaves Wario to be left behind too. In this ending, Mario lands with Yoshi and then the cutscene proceeds lacking the two other heroes. For each alternate ending, a different cake is awarded featuring the characters that appeared in the ending as cake figures.

From the instruction booklet
At the invitation of Princess Peach, Mario, accompanied by party crashers Luigi and Wario, enter the Mushroom Castle.

But when the three don't come out for a long time, Yoshi decides to check up on them.

Upon entering the castle, Yoshi discovers that no one is there. According to Toad, Bowser has stolen the Power Stars guarding the castle and locked Princess Peach into the walls and paintings. Maybe Mario and his friends have been captured in the paintings, too!

Now it's up to Yoshi to rescue Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Wario from the castle's paintings and walls!

Gameplay
As in Super Mario 64, the courses are accessed by the different paintings on the castle's walls, but in the DS game, the player can collect 150 power stars, 30 more than the original game.

Controls
Making use of the DS's features, the player is offered three different types to control the character. All three modes are always accessible by pressing Select.


 * In standard mode, they are controlled with the Control Pad. Jump is, punching, kicking, and sticking out tongue is and dashing is . The  button is used for crouching, while  handles the camera together with the  Control Pad. Additionally if the player presses and holds , and presses  the player will wall kick (if playing as Mario). Compared to Super Mario 64, where Mario was moving as fast as the player tilted the stick of the Nintendo 64 controller, the characters in Super Mario 64 DS move much slower when the running button is not pressed.
 * In touch mode, the character is controlled by having the player use their thumb on the touch screen, or by moving the stylus, across the touch screen. By using the thumb or stylus, the character's speed can be individually adjusted by the player as it was possible with the Nintendo 64's Control Stick. However, jumping, crouching, and kicking are still executed with the buttons.
 * In two hand mode, the character is controlled with the stylus, and jumping, kicking, and crouching are done by utilizing either the buttons (for left-handed players), or with the Control Pad (for right-handed players).  The movement radius is larger with this control option, and all camera adjustments are done with the touch screen as well.  The  and  buttons are not used.

On the Nintendo 3DS, the Circle Pad somewhat recreates the feeling of playing with the Control Stick from the N64, although the player will still need to press to run and can still only move in 8 different directions.

Character Selection


To switch between characters, there are three doors each symbolizing the character's first letter of their name. To use them, the player must go through the door, and the corresponding character will come out of the door. Switching to Yoshi will mean reentering the door that complements the same character once more. There are four doors in total, however only one is not a playable character. Inside the silver door, is a secret power star which is hidden until the player is able to catch the 8 glowing rabbits.

Characters
To have more of a chance beating the game, the player needs to find the three plumbers who where locked behind doors by Bowser:


 * Yoshi - The first and default character of the game, Yoshi must find Mario, Luigi, and Wario, who have been flung behind doors by Bowser. He can flutter kick to reach high places. He cannot punch, however, and consequently cannot grab large enemies.
 * Strength:0/3
 * Speed:2/3
 * Jump:3/3


 * Mario - Mario is flung behind a door with Goomboss and is necessary to find. Using Yoshi, from the starting point in the castle, the player should go up the stairs and to the right door. The player should go straight to the next door, go through the 8 star door and hop into the Mario painting. The player has to fight Goomboss for the M Key by jumping into a hollowed tree stump at the highest point of the level. Then the player has to go back to room with the stained glass windows with Peach on them and unlock the M Room to find Mario.
 * Strength:2/3
 * Speed:2/3
 * Jump:2/3


 * Luigi - Mario's younger brother Luigi is optional to find, but is required to obtain some Power Stars. The player has to go to the top floor of the level Big Boo's Haunt with Mario. When Mario reaches there, he has to fight King Boo for the L Key, which is used to open the door to obtain Luigi.
 * Strength:1/3
 * Speed:3/3
 * Jump:3/3


 * Wario - Like Luigi, Wario is optional to find, but is needed to grab stars the others cannot retrieve. Once the large door right at the head of the stairs is unlocked, Luigi has to go inside, then get past another door leading to Snowman's Land. There are two Power Flowers, so the player has to use Luigi to go transparent into the mirror by the Snowman's Land wall, and he has to fight Chief Chilly for the W Key, which is used to open the door to find Wario.
 * Strength:3/3
 * Speed: 1/3
 * Jump:1/3

Caps
In the painting worlds, caps of Mario, Luigi, and Wario can be found and are visible on the touch screen. When a cap is put on, the player's character turns into the corresponding character who owns the cap. He gets all moves of the character who owns the cap including the Power Flower power-ups, but keep his original voice. The caps are usually found on the heads of Goombas, on land, or underwater.

When hit by an enemy, the cap topples off and the character needs to retrieve it in limited time. When the cap disappears, it reappears on a different, set, random location in the course.

With Yoshi, a player can select the cap when selecting a star right after jumping into a painting. If a cap is selected, Yoshi will put it on after entering the course.


 * Mario's Cap - a Red cap that allows the player to turn into Mario.
 * Luigi's Cap - a Green cap that allows the player to turn into Luigi.
 * Wario's Cap - a Yellow cap that allows the player to turn into Wario.

Coins
Coins can be accepted and collected by each character. In each course there are a little over 100 coins and collecting 100 gives the player 15 extra stars for the 15 courses. They can be found on land, in the sea, or in enemies.

Types:
 * Yellow Coins - worth 1 and are found in most enemies
 * Red Coins - worth 2 and have to be collected in the quantity of 8 for one episode in each world.
 * Blue Coins - worth 5 and are often temporary, found in tougher enemies, on slides or invisible until Mario hits a Blue Coin Switch.

Power Flower Powers
Each of the four characters has a special power from the Power Flower found inside a ? Block. Only Mario can get something other than a Power Flower from the ? Block, which is the feather that transforms him into Wing Mario. Once taken the flower, a hero uses his new powers in a short time, that may last about 20 seconds. Notwithstanding, Mario's wing form can last a bit longer, about one minute. Additionally, Luigi's and Wario's powers last shorter compared to Mario's equivalent forms in Super Mario 64.

Rabbits
Each character has 7 rabbits to catch (they are color coded). Wario catches orange, Luigi catches green, Mario catches pink, and Yoshi catches yellow. The rabbits will give up keys to minigames drawers in the Rec Room. Yoshi catches 8 because the first one has the key to the castle.

Keys
Keys are used to unlock Mario, Luigi, or Wario. They are obtained after boss battles. Mario's key is obtained once Goomboss is defeated, Luigi's key is obtained once King Boo is defeated, and Wario's key is obtained after Chief Chilly is defeated.

Upon catching all of the 8 shiny rabbits, the player receives a key that opens the white room in the character switch room. The first time to open it and enter, a character finds a power star. However, if the character comes back after taking it, Boo laughs can be heard, and the hero comes out from the door, startled.

Worlds
(As stated above, when the player's coin meter reaches 100 for the first time in a particular course, a bonus Power Star appears, making a total of 8 Power Stars available in each course.)

Secret Stars
Secret Stars throughout the castle. All are necessary for a perfect completion.

Bowser Boss Battles
Bowser has kidnapped Peach, and holds the keys to the next floors as in Super Mario 64. Mario is required to open the Star Doors so he and the other three playable characters can battle him (unless it's the final stage). However, a glitch can be used to fight Bowser with another character, with Yoshi using hats to fight Bowser. He can be beaten by swinging him into the spike balls once (three times for the final battle) to get a key and, in the last battle, the final star.

List of changes from the original
Though Super Mario 64 DS is a clear remake of the 64-bit game Super Mario 64, there are some components added to the game, as well as elements only seen in the first rendition which were taken out in the remake:


 * Mario, Wario, Yoshi, and Luigi are now all playable. Only Mario was playable in the original, while Yoshi made an unplayable cameo appearance on the Castle Roof.
 * Peach wears her hair in a pony tail in her appearances. In the original, she wears her hair down.
 * Mario can Float, Luigi can turn Invisible, Wario can turn Metal, and Yoshi can Breathe Fire by collecting a Power Flower. Mario can also Fly by collecting a Wing Feather. In the original, Mario was able to collect different caps to use flight, invisibility, and metal power, and floating and fire power were not present at all.
 * There are Red ? boxes and Yellow ! boxes. In the original, there were also blue and green boxes, and all boxes had exclamation marks.
 * There are seven missions in each portrait world (plus the 100 coin Star). The original has only six missions, plus the 100 coin Star.
 * There are seven multicolored Rabbits for each character to catch. In the original, there is only one rabbit which can be caught twice.
 * There are 150 Stars in the game. The original had only 120.
 * Thwomps are gray, spiked, and rectangular prism-shaped. The original's Thwomps were blue and cube-shaped.
 * Wario, Luigi, and Yoshi figures appear on the cake at the end along with those of Mario and Peach (with Wario and Luigi only appearing if the player has unlocked them). Only Mario and Peach were seen in the original.
 * After collecting all Stars, the player may be shot out of a cannon to the top of Peach's Castle. Three 1-Up Mushrooms can be found there, as well as one of Luigi's Rabbits. Also present on the roof is a red ! Box, which gives the player a Feather for Mario and a Power Flower for Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. In the original game, Mario will find Yoshi on the Castle Roof; he will award the player with 100 lives and the ability to Triple Jump from a standstill.
 * Cheep-Cheeps and Big Berthas replace the Bubs and Bubbas from the original game.
 * Fire Chomps replace the Kuromames from the original game.
 * Yoshi is the default character and the first to be played as. In the original, Yoshi could only be seen on the Castle Roof.
 * The Super Mushroom power-up was added; it causes the player to grow to an enormous size and gives Yoshi punching abilities. While it remains active, one can defeat virtually any enemy, something that couldn't be done in the original Super Mario 64.
 * Upon the game's start-up, Mario does not say anything on the Nintendo logo screen and says "It's-a me, Mario!" only on the title screen. In the original, he says "It's-a me! Mario!" on the Nintendo logo screen and "Hello!" on the title screen.
 * Yoshi appears on the title screen if the player returns to it without turning the game off or if the player touches the Yoshi icon.
 * As the Nintendo DS does not have the analog stick that the Nintendo 64 has, either the D-pad or the stylus can be used (depending on the settings). However, the slidepad on the Nintendo 3DS revives the classic analog stick feel.
 * On the title screen, Mario or Yoshi's face can be dragged by the stylus. While being dragged, they become wireframe. The user can also design a custom picture to drag around. In the original, Mario's face can be pulled on by the cursor.
 * The L and R buttons on the Nintendo DS control the camera. In the original, the C buttons on the Nintendo 64 controlled the camera.
 * Rabbits, when caught by the player, can unlock minigames in the Rec Room. In the original, Rabbits provided hints and/or a Star.
 * The door on the top right corner of the lobby contains two Peach murals (one still leading to The Princess's Secret Slide), as well as five additional doors. The three doors with the letters above them allow the player to switch between characters, the door on the right contains a Power Star, and the door in the center leads to the Rec Room. In the original, the room only contains three Peach murals, one leading to the Secret Slide.
 * Silver Stars were added in the remake. During Silver Star missions, the player must collect five Silver Stars to make a Power Star appear.
 * Big Bob-omb of Bob-omb Battlefield is obsessed with his mustache. In the original, he is not shown to have any particular interests.
 * Mr. Blizzards have zig-zag mouths and wear hats, while in the original they have circular mouths and wear nothing on their head.
 * In the original, a glitch can cause Mario to Backwards Long Jump. In the remake, Backwards Long Jumping is impossible.
 * The player is given three save files to play on. In the original, the player was given four.
 * Lakitu's Cloud is less fluffy and has a happy face, while in the original it resembles a normal, fluffy cloud. Additionally, Lakitu looks happy in the remake, while in the original, he looks unhappy.
 * When a file is opened, Mario pauses before saying "Ha Ha!". In the original, he immediately says "Ha Ha!" after saying "Yahoo!".
 * Some Brick Blocks are red, while others are black. Black Brick Blocks can only be broken by Wario. In the original, all Crates are brown.
 * Star Switches are seen in the remake. They make a Power Star appear for a limited time.
 * After collecting a 1-Up Mushroom, the words "1-UP" appear in orange text. In the original, no on-screen icon appears.
 * Klepto the Condor appears in three different levels, while in the original, he only appears in the level Shifting Sand Land.
 * Toxic Gas is purple. It was green in the original game.
 * Two Power Flowers appear in the mirror room of Peach's Castle. In the original, no Power-Ups appear here whatsoever.
 * There is one ? Switch, found in the course Tower of the Wing Cap. In the original, there was an ! Switch instead. Two other ! Switches are also seen in the original; one in the basement of Peach's Castle and the other in Hazy Maze Cave.

Voice Cast

 * Charles Martinet as Mario, Luigi, Wario
 * Kazumi Totaka as Yoshi
 * Leslie Swan as Princess Peach
 * Jen Taylor as Toad

Beta Elements
The game was initially announced as Super Mario 64x4. This iteration featured co-op multiplayer, different graphics and slightly different level layout among other things.

A fully functional Red Koopa Troopa enemy is present in the game's code and can be accessed with an Action Replay code.

Trivia

 * The artwork of the castle on the box art is different from the design in-game. The design on the box art is actually based off the castle that appears in Mario Circuit from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. This also applies to the star.
 * In all regions, the painting for Jolly Roger Bay is from the original Japanese Nintendo 64 release, even though it was also changed in the Rumble Pak version. Similarly, when Mario goes to sleep after idling for too long, he does not talk in his sleep.
 * When the player puts on the Mario cap for the first time, the game states that the player must press to do the wall jump. This is incorrect, as the player must press  to wall jump.
 * In the Korean version, there is no Rec Room and the rabbits for minigames, but it appeared already in the Korean version of New Super Mario Bros..
 * There is a secret in the title screen in which when the player drags the face, they can get a Luigi drawing.
 * If the player presses in the title screen, a full color shadow appears instead of ink.
 * The instruction booklet has a mistake where Luigi's speed is similar to the rest of characters but Wario. In fact, Luigi is the fastest.
 * The UK version of the game's manual mistakenly reads, "Thank you for selecting Super Mario DS" instead of the full name.
