Amazing platform game for the N64, so-so for DS
When Super Mario 64 came out on the Nintendo 64, the control style was great, with the anolog stick controlling Mario was a snap. Now you control Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario with the Control Pad, Stylus, Finger/Thumb, or Thumb Strap. Most of the controls are pretty bad, and you'll just stick with the Control Pad, which is unfortunately the best control type of them all. Adding 3 new characters, and 3O new stars is new. However, most of the "New" stars are just extra stars in a level (1 extra for each level) and very few new stages. Some things in the levels are changed from the original, with the creators trying to make the game easier then the original. l greatly like that idea, since the controls are sort of hard to control.

Good Buy
This is a tough review. First off, l played the original SM64 back when Nintendo still thought cartridge systems were a good idea. The DS version adds enough to this new version to truly warrant the buy.
The added puzzles and different beginning add another level of playability for older gamers as well as people new to the game.
The controls are what get in the way of this being the perfect game.
Kudos to Nintendo for trying to do the pseudo-analog control on the touchscreen, but it just isn't the same. There have been too many times where l'm running around trying to do something and l'll fall off a cliff because, well, there's not true analog control. There is the standard digital D-pad, but there's just not enough tactile response or accuracy for my taste.
Ultimately, the game is a blast. The controls can get extremely frustrating (l can be tricky, but it's never been THAT hard to stomp on a goomba.) lf you own a DS Lite, [...](l was lucky enough to get one as a free gift.)
Again, this is a very good game. With all the DS titles available now, though, l'd put this lower on your video game shopping list. lt's not a waste of money, but DS games have evolved over the years since SM64 was released. Still good, but definately not the best.

* the classic 64 and more ...
there is so much to do in this game and fun using different characters other than mario. at first the controls were confusing but once you get use to it, the game is a blast. There are many stars to collect and secret stars to find. Many missions in a small cartiage makes this game worth its value. lt does get repetitive once you collect over 1OO stars, but still fun. Recommended as a game you should get for DS.

THE BEST MARl0 GAME!!!
l thought this game was AMAZlNG!!! The best part is exploring princess peach's castle. The thing is about this game is that it isnt side scrolling like all the other mario games. This is more like super mario sunshine. (but better) The levels are all different and unique in their own ways. l love the mountain levels where you have to climb big mountains! The Bob omb hills, The mushroom mountain place, and the twhomp towers are my favorites! (l forgot the real names) What makes it better is that you can play as yoshi, luigi, or wario also! Mountains, Mazes, Deserts, 0ceans, Up in the sky, Y0U CAN NEVER GET EN0UGH!!!!
Music 1O/1O
Control 9/1O
entertaining 1OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO/1O!!!!!!
W0RTH lT!!! You should buy this wonderful game!!
