Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
Super Mario 64 was a genre-defining classic. Now it arrives on the Nintendo DS with all-new features that take advantage of the new portable system's dual screens, touch screen and wireless features! Mario, Luigi and Wario are invited to a royal party for Princess Peach. When they arrive at the castle, it is strangely empty and the 3 of them try to learn what happened. When they disappear too, Yoshi must rescue them from their old enemy Bowser.

A remarkable transfer to the portable DS - Reviewed on 2008-06-12
Mario 64 may still be one of the greatest third-person adventures on any game system - more than a decade after it was released. That said, Super Mario 64 DS didn't disappoint me, an owner of the original game. It's amazing that all that technology, that was considered cutting-edge in 1996, can be crammed onto the hand-held DS. But it is, and even features several improvements, like being able to play as several different Mario characters with unique abilities. The levels have been redone to accommodate for those abilities, and several new levels have even been added.
The only gripe I have is that a game that was designed to be played with analog control doesn't always work so well with the DS's D-Pad. The control isn't always tight - and the DS version is noticeably not nearly as responsive as the original game. There are a few cheap deaths, especially for people over the age of 12 with adult-sized fingers. But, all in all, that can be overlooked as this is probably one of the best games currently available for the DS, particularly in the platforming genre.
