Talk:Super Mario 64 DS

Shouldn't we merge this article with Super Mario 64? It's simply a remake w/ some newly created challenges, more characters and a slightly different storyline. The powers and levels are still the same, with improved graphics. Wayoshi 20:57, 3 July 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm not sure. There are enough chages to Super Mario 64 DS its own article. More playable characters, more levels, more stars, different power-ups, including the Power Flower. It's much more than a simple remake. However, the two pages should be linked together. --Son of Suns 02:03, 5 July 2006 (EDT)

Remake
This isn't a remake. It has new characters, new levels, and a slightly different plot. True, Super Mario Advance 3 had extra levels, but remakes don't include new plots. That isn't saying since Super Mario Advance 3 has extra levels, it should be two different games. It's saying that there are too many differences between 64 and 64 DS.


 * They are two different games, but SM64 DS is still a remake of SM64. -- Son of Suns

But how?


 * Using the same title and the same base environs. -- Son of Suns

Since this is a remake, how come I keep seeing it referred to in this Wiki as either non-canonical or a separate incident from Super Mario 64? I must admit, I am confused... 13:54, 1 July 2007 (EDT)

Isn't this an FA
Isn't this an FA?


 * I don't know, but it sure looks like it should be.


 * WarioLoaf and I rewrote it; WL did the code and I wrote an entire walkthrough. It got nominated; didn't make it.

Mini-game instructions
Are the in-game instructions for the mini-games identical to those in New Super Mario Bros.? I only have the latter and would like to add the instructions to the articles. 15:17, 3 January 2008 (EST)
 * No one here who has both games and can compare the instructions? 07:32, 22 January 2008 (EST)

Is this Fake?
I found this picture, and I think it is fake. Image:FakeWaluigi.jpg

YES, it is fake. It's been specificly stated to be fake. And, people have torn the game apart, ripped up the ROM, and found nothing of Waluigi. And, sign comments plorx.GreenKoopa - Comments or questions?

Problem
Some code at the end of the page seems to not end, and seems to keep the templates towards the middle and some other things. If I'm correct, it seems to be coming from the differences section towards the bottom of the page. May somebody fix this, as I don't know how, please? --Palkia47 21:11, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

Rec Room
I added that some of the games are from NSMB I wonder wwhy no one else did that.ratfink43
 * 'cause the NSMB games are from SM64DS, not the other way round. 14:29, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

Multiple Endings
Within the past two weeks, I decided to attempt to beat Super Mario 64 DS without rescuing Wario and Luigi. In the latter case, Wario also would not be saved. This article is untrue in that a player does not need to save all the characters to battle the final Bowser upon obtaining 80 Power Stars. In addition, not saving characters creates two alternate endings to the game. The first shows Mario, Luigi and Yoshi with Peach and all appearing as figures on the cake. The second shows just Mario and Yoshi meeting Princess Peach and only the three of them appear upon the "Thank You" cake.

You can have all the characters saved and on top of the cake,or just yoshi and mario. Either way,you have to finish the game with yoshi and mario. --Rosalina1234 12:26, 23 July 2011 (EDT)Rosalina 1234

Find a way to incorporate that into the article.-- 04:49, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Gallery
I think this needs a gallery. Mario Bros.!

Now I really think this needs a gallery.

VS Mode
There is no mentioning of vs mode in this article. I believe that it should be added.

 * I don't know about that.


 * It really does need to be added since it is an entirely different mode of the game and deserves a place.

Trivia
Is anyone aware that when a cap is lost, one can find it in any course in which it is possible to lose a cap? Bspald95 (talk) 16:25, 23 August 2012 (EDT)

Split Mario and Yoshi's Power Flower Forms from this article.
Now correct me if I am wrong, but I do not see any articles for Mario's floating power or Yoshi's fire breath. I know there is an article for Bowser's Fire Breath that mentions Yoshi's power-up, but does not even have quarter of the info I would put on a page if it was created. So, to keep consistency I would also create a page for Mario's Power Flower power too. Luigi and Wario's Power Flower powers got merged into their respective articles. So I think both of these power-ups deserve their own page.

Proposer: Deadline:September 6, 2012 23:59 GMT

Create Articles for both of these

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Why not?
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) Per proposal.
 * 5) Why would they even be here? If they don't deserve an article, they should go on the character pages. But as it happens, both thoroughly deserve an article.
 * 6) Per Proposal.

Create an article for Mario's Power-up and merge info from his Super Mario World power-up

 * 1) I don't think Yoshi's fire breath should get's own page for the same reason I don't think Luigi's flutter jump should get a separate flutter jump page because it's the same thing only done by someone different. I do believe Mario's should because it's a form that has appeared in 2 games (it's actually Balloon Mario from SMW)
 * 2) Per Raven Effect.

Comments
I'm on the fence when it comes to Yoshi's but i'll support Mario's if all the information about Mario's floating form from Super Mario World is merged into it since they are the same thing just with different power ups.
 * I can do that.

Shouldn't we just expand on Yoshi's section in the Fire Breath article rather than create a whole new article for it?
 * We could do that, but I already have an idea for what an article would look like I'm making a draft right now.
 * Well, I gave up on the draft, but my idea is a brief introduction, then a description of the Power-up itself. Also adding a table of levels that Fire Breath is required to use to complete. Also, we could list places where you can be Fire Breath Yoshi.

I have a very important question is Yoshi's fire breath called Fire Breath?
 * I don't know, we could always call him Fire Breathing Yoshi.
 * That would work I guess. 2nd question what is the difference between Yoshi breathing fire and bowser breathing fire other then the fact that yoshi get's his from a power flower.
 * Yoshi's power is limited and Bowser's power is unlimited. Yoshi's fire breath is smaller than Bowser's. Bowser's can split into multiple pieces. I could probably list more when I remember them.
 * All of that stuff is trivial and can easily be listed in the fire breath article. Creating one for Yoshi's fire breath would be like creating one for Fire Bros. fire breath because it shoots them out of it's mouth in little ball that are smaller then Bowser's. Or creating separate flutter jump pages because Luigi's is higher then Yoshi's.
 * More differences, Yoshi's kills on contact, Bowser's only damages. Bowser's can stay around longer. Bowser's sometimes can charge.
