In the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Mario's head appears along with a [[Yoshi]] head. In this game, Mario's face can turn into an ink outline version of itself, which can be distorted with the [[Nintendo DS#Stylus|stylus]] or various buttons.

Mario's face is also a feature in some of the [[minigame]]s in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. When the player opens a [[treasure chest]] in [[Boom Box (minigame)|Boom Box]], the chest makes a sound, astonishing Mario's face on the top screen. If the player makes a mistake, Mario's face frowns, while if the player succeeds, Mario's face beams joyously at the player.

Mario's face later appears in the ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' version of [[Face-Lift (minigame)|Face Lift]] (also in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' but with Bowser's face and no other faces), where the player has to alter the face of Mario or other characters in the game. The more accurately the face is changed to match a picture, the more [[point]]s the player receives. The player who earns the most points wins, although two players can win if they earn the same number of points. Mario's head, along with a Luigi head, Peach head, Yoshi head, Wario head, and Donkey Kong head, appears in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Look Away]], where each head has to dance along to the music, and the team of three heads must avoid looking in the same direction as the single player head. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Mario's face is one of the faces (alongside [[Wiggler]] and Toad) to appear in the minigame [[Picture Imperfect]]. The player must get his ''M'' on his hat right, nose right, mustache right, mouth right, and eyes right.
