Gameplay changes

 * Luigi, Yoshi and Wario are now playable. Only Mario was playable in the original, while Yoshi makes an unplayable cameo appearance on the Castle Roof after the original game is finished and Luigi and Wario did not make any appearances or cameos in the original. There were, however, rumors that Luigi could be unlocked in the original, but those have since been debunked, and he was planned to appear in the original game, but was dropped.
 * Utilizing the stylus and touch screen, the player can now draw and stretch the characters which appear on the title screen.
 * In the original game, Mario (the only character capable of wall jumping in both the original game and the remake) cannot slide down walls. He is able to do so in the remake, making Wall Jumping much easier to perform than in the original.
 * Mario is able to float, Luigi can become invisible, Wario can become a metal version of himself and Yoshi can breathe fire out of his mouth when anyone collects a Power Flower. Mario can also fly by collecting a feather. In the original, Mario was able to collect different caps to use these various abilities (excluding the fire and balloon power-ups) such as the Wing Cap, the Vanish Cap and the Metal Cap.
 * There are eight Power Stars in each world. In the original, there are only seven Power Stars in each world.
 * There are 36 rabbits to catch. In the original, there is only one rabbit which is caught twice in the basement.
 * There are 150 stars in the whole game. There were 120 in the original.
 * Wario is now able to pick up signs and throw them like any other enemy that is picked up. He is also able to jump on signs and ground-pound them into the ground once. In the original version, Mario is not able to pick up signs, nor is he able to ground-pound them. He and the other characters can't pick up signs, but can ground-pound them twice.
 * After collecting all Stars, the player may be shot out of a cannon to the top of Princess 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 Roof. He will award the player with 100 lives, a new animation for his Triple Jump, and jump into the waterfall.
 * The Mushroom power-up was added, mainly found in bricks, and caused the player to grow to an enormous size (and gave Yoshi punching abilities). Within a time limit, one can defeat virtually every enemy, something that couldn't be done in Super Mario 64. After destroying the first seven, the player receives an extra life for anything else they destroy. A 90's Got Milk commercial shows footage from Super Mario 64 featuring a giant Mario, but it was impossible in the original version.
 * 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 Circle Pad on the Nintendo 3DS somewhat simulates the classic analog stick.
 * 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 by the cursor.
 * The L and X buttons on the Nintendo DS control the camera. In the original, the C buttons on the Nintendo 64 control the camera.
 * Rabbits, when caught by the player, can unlock minigames in the Rec Room. In the original, a rabbit provided hints and/or a Star.
 * Silver Stars were added in the remake. During Silver Star missions, the player must collect five Silver Stars to make a Power Star appear.
 * In the original, a glitch can cause Mario to backwards Long Jump. In the remake, backwards long jumping is possible, but will not have the same effect as in the original.
 * The player is given three save files to play on. In the original, the player was given four.
 * Mario couldn't destroy things that Wario could do in this game. He and the other characters also cannot even do it in this game.
 * Star Switches are seen in this game. They make a Power Star appear for a limited time in a Star Sphere.
 * Two Power Flowers appear in the mirror room of Peach's Castle (four if the ones through the mirror are counted), but only if Luigi is used. In the original, no Power-Ups appear whatsoever in the room.

Sound changes

 * 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.
 * When a pipe appears at the start of a new game, Mario pauses before saying "Ha Ha!". In the original, he immediately says "Ha Ha!" after saying "Yahoo!".
 * When Mario goes to sleep after idling for too long, he does not talk in his sleep, though this may be because it would have to be recorded for the other three characters.

Text changes

 * When the player first enters Big Boo's Haunt in the original, they are greeted with, "Come on in here... ...heh, heh, heh..." They are not greeted in the remake.
 * King Bob-omb of Bob-omb Battlefield is obsessed with his mustache. In the original, he is not shown to have any particular interests.
 * In the original game, when Mario throws Bowser, he says "So-long-a-Bowser". He does not say that in this version, instead, he says "Buh-bye", which he also says after closing the DS.
 * After collecting a 1-Up Mushroom, the words "1-UP" appear in orange text. In the original, no on-screen icon appears.
