Super Mario 64 DS is the rehash of the what might be one of the best 3D platmorers of any time from the Nintendo 64. This game was released along with teh DS console so gamers could get some Mario right away. This time there are more stars, multiplayer, and some new friends to play along with. The game starts out with Mario getting an invite to Peach's castle, and somehow he gets locked up and he makes the swap with everyones favorite dinosaur Yoshi. So then you start on your adventure. You will go along on the famous Mario 64 levels, for a little bit of some deja-vu of your times on the Nintendo 64 console. As you progress you unlock fun mini-games which are the only thing that you use the touch screen for besides rotating the camera, and the classic bowser and other boss battles along the way. Nothing will make you more upset than realizing right at the last moment that you do not have a Z button and then you must flip through your booklet to figure out the right button to use. The touch screen camera works just like the C Buttons did so I had no problem with the camera. The graphics have been updated from the original and with the mini-game additions, this game is even more fun this time around. I definaltey recomend this to anyone who owns a Nintendo DS because it is a fun game to be able to play on the go, because you can get a star, save, shut it off, and then be on your vaction or wherever you might be. I give Super Mario 64 DS a 9/10.
