Super Mario 64 DS

« Its greatness holds up almost ten years later. It's a treat having an enhanced (both gameplay-wise and visually) version of the game that you can toss in your pocket and play on the go. This is easily the best launch title in the DS lineup. »

« The minigames are easily one of the high-lights of the game. »

« From the unlockable minigames to the multiplayer mode and the new stars to find, this latest installment in the Mario series is a shining example of gaming at its best. »

« I can't tell you how impressed I am with the quality of sound, not only that this game produces but from the DS itself. It rivals anything your television can put out and it even has a surround sound option. »

« Who would have thought you would be playing a portable version of this game with better graphics, more levels, more characters, wireless gaming and new bonus games. Nintendo took a great game and added more greatness to it. »

« A hoot of a game. »

« With a huge adventure that will take dozens of hours to complete, along with 36 different mini-games and single-card multiplayer, Super Mario 64 DS is easily the best title on the Nintendo DS right now. »

« Control worries aside, I found tons to enjoy from the many mini games available to even the weak multiplayer mode. »

« The idea of this mario game is nice but it feel very boring cause the controls are horrible and why they didnt make a remake from this game. Its sad, the game as so much potential. REMAKE PLEASE. »

« Good game but the controls take away the fun, why would they remake a game that uses analog and take that away. they managed to make the camera worse in my opinion which i didn't know that was possible. the amount of stars kind of saves the game for me. also the diverse amount of characters really help the game. overall i would rather play the original »

« Great game on both Nintendo 64 and DS. If you want to play any Mario game this is the one you need to play. This game did not follow trend it invented a trend. »

« It is genuinely hilarious how people still treat Super Mario 64 like it’s the gold standard of gaming when it’s actually the blueprint for every clunky, frustrating "3D" disaster that followed. If you take off the nostalgia goggles for five seconds, you’ll realize this isn't a masterpiece; it's a tech demo that’s aged like milk in a hot car. The movement is a joke—trying to get Mario to walk in a straight line is like steering a shopping cart with three broken wheels. He’s either moving at a snail’s pace or careening off a ledge because the "revolutionary" analog controls have the precision of a toddler on roller **** let’s talk about the real villain of the game: the camera. It’s not a "pioneering" system; it’s a sentient nightmare that actively tries to get you killed. You spend 40% of the game fighting Lakitu just to see where you’re going, only for the view to snap behind a wall or zoom into Mario’s pixels right as you’re making a jump. It’s a "meditative" exercise in patience that usually ends in a "Game Over" because the game literally refused to let you see the platform. Compared to the high-speed, 360-degree flow of a real action game, Mario 64 feels like trying to run through a swamp while looking through a **** "Aero" aesthetic that actually makes games look futuristic and cool is nowhere to be found here. Instead, we get these barren, jagged environments that look like they were generated by a primitive calculator. The levels are tiny, empty, and repetitive, forcing you to jump back into the same painting six times just to collect a different colored star. It’s the definition of "padding" before we even knew what that word meant. There’s zero momentum, zero style, and a soundtrack that loops the same three "happy" tracks until you want to mute the TV.Honestly, if this game didn't have the red hat on the box, it would be remembered as a clunky, experimental mess from 1996 that failed to understand how speed and physics actually work. Sega was out here giving us blue blurs and actual attitude, while Nintendo was making us chase a rabbit in a basement for twenty minutes. It’s a slow, primitive relic that paved the way for decades of "safe" platforming, proving that even back then, the plumber was more interested in being a mascot than actually being fast. »

« Yo soy bastante anti a los juegos viejos, pero como puede ser un juego del 96 tan bueno? Nono en serio ósea no puede ser tan bueno y divertido. Me parece bastante pesado llegando al final y también cuando no paras de morir, pero lo demás muy bueno. Cada mundo tiene su propia personalidad y las mecánicas son muy buenas. La banda sonora es buenísima y se complementa re bien dependiendo el mundo. Me imagino un pendejo de la época flipando en colores con este juego, juegazo de manual tio. »

« The lack of an analouge stick is unfortunate but the new content offered is fun and even two messy control scheme can't hold Super Mario 64 too far down »

« to say this is the remake of the original Super Mario 64 but to say it's on DS version this DS version has a different twist to this one basically you've got the help of Mario Luigi and Wario to assist you but apparently borrow all the characters I mentioned have all been locked behind doors so who'd you think you're playing as you guessed it you are playing as Yoshi Yoshi has to say our heroes in this version of 64 Mario can you help him Save the Day go look all »
