When I was a kid, I had my NES and I was satisfied. I didn't even know what an N64 was until I found it wrapped under the tree one year for Christmas. I've been in love with Mario and his pals ever since. This game brings back fuzzy feelings of turning on the console and seeing 3D Mario for the first time. There is even a throwback to the grab-face features on the original game. The best part about the game is the ability to rediscover the worlds as Luigi, Wario, or Yoshi. Their unique abilities bring a whole new element to this classic game, and some new Stars can only be achieved with their talents. This game would have been fabulous as a re-release or sequel on the Gamecube as originally intended. However, trying to feature a game known for its incredible use of the revolutionary analog stick and forcing onto a handheld device with a directional pad as its main source of movement, and you are bound to encounter problems. Nintendo tried to solve this problem by allowing you to run by means of the touch pad, but it can be clumsy and difficult to see where you are going or control your speed. There is a lot more to love in this game than there is to hate, but something as crucial as character control can make a huge impact on your gaming experience. If you're looking for a nostalgic throwback, I certainly recommend this game. However, if you aren't already familiar with the controls, maps, and objectives, I'd suggest playing your way through the original on an original N64, or on the Wii Virtual Console.

Super Mario 64 DS Type of Game: Platformer System: Nintendo DS Game Developer: Nintendo Super Mario 64 DS is a remake from the N64 Super Mario 64 with some new changes. One of the new things is you can control Mario with the touch screen or the control pad. Second is that you can play as Mario, Luigi, Wario, as you rescue Princess Peach. Third is you can open up great mini games by catching rabbits, some of the mini games are more fun than the main game that gives you more hours of enjoyment. The main game is the same as the N64 version the graphics look better and the control is better then the N64 version. This is a great game to have for the DS; some of the mini games really show off the power of the DS. I recommend this game for your library; this gives you your Mario fix till the new Mario Bros game comes out later this year. My review score for Super Mario 64 DS = 8.0 (Score is 1 is throw it out and 10 is a must buy!) Reviewed by: Eric SchneiderRead full review

With some known games, there are lots of good small games that I would never buy because of how expensive every Nintendo game is, plus it is very handy to have only one chip instead of several with less games.. Sound and video quality is almost same as original Nintendo games, reaction time with keys is also as aspected..

This mario game is super challenging. Alot of the stages feature instant death if fall off the screen. What I mean by that is you have to have really great manuver using the control pad in guiding mario properly, but once you fall off the platform, you have to start over the same painting you previously jumped in. For some people, it can be very frustrating and you may stop trying to conquer the painting you once jumped into. Also here's another challenge, for every painting you jump in, you must know exactly what to do when looking for power stars. That includes in figuring out the puzzles in every painting. That also can be frustrating as well because you have to have the skills in solving in finding every power stars for each painting. For Alot of people it can lead to giving up on playing the game because it's too difficult if you don't have the knowledge in solving puzzles. For me I don't mind it because I'm used to puzzle solving games. Read full review
