Super Mario 64 DS is a re-make of the original 1996 version. It was one of the most popular games out there. However, many people who remember it, haven't played it in years.
So, when you play it for the Nintendo DS, you will most likely enjoy the plumber's return. You will most likely have your fun because of all the familiar sights. But, instead of just playing the same thing, you will find some extras.
Mario's crew now has 3 more characters to play as: Yoshi, Luigi and Wario. Each one has different abilities and stats.
If that's not enough, there are now 50 more stars to collect, and mini-games too.
However, the Nintendo DS has no analog stick, and using the touch screen to move usually works if you are left-handed. But, that's a minor flaw if it doesn't keep you away from addiction.
The graphics and sound are superb too.
Good: More stars, characters and even mini-games. The graphics and sound may be as good as the original Super Mario 64.
Bad: To collect every star, you will find yourself re-playing the same levels over and over. The controls are sometimes hard to use, and a second analog stick would have helped a lot to make a camera. (I think it should have been released to Gamecube.) Plus, it's not an original game. (It's a re-make.)
