| | The '''Nintendo 64DD''' (Nintendo 64 Disk Drive) was a machine that attached to a [[Nintendo 64]] and could play games in a disc format. It ended up being a commercial failure, so it wasn't released outside Japan. There were several [[Mario]] games playable for this console, and several more that were cancelled. All of the games were in the [[Mario Artist|''Mario Artist'' series]]. There were only 9 games released. There were also several peripherals used for it. |

There were also several peripherals used for it. The system was released only in Japan in December 1999, following numerous developmental delays,{{ref needed}} and it was scheduled for release in North America in 2000, but it ended up being a commercial failure both due to its belated Japanese release and due to the way it was sold (mainly through subscription to the Randnet online service, with little to no retail units in stores); consequently, the planned American release was canceled, leaving the add-on exclusive to Japan.

| There were four games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] released on this console, all in the ''[[Mario Artist (series)|Mario Artist]]'' series; there were also several canceled ''Super Mario'' titles. Overall, there were only ten games released on the Nintendo 64DD, although other games planned for the console were released on the original Nintendo 64, the {{wp|PlayStation (console)|Sony PlayStation}}, the {{wp|Dreamcast|Sega Dreamcast}}, and the next-generation [[Nintendo GameCube]] or were canceled altogether.

| *If there is no game inserted in the system, the start-up appears as usual, but [[Mario]] then appears and plays around with the Nintendo 64 logo. The N shape changes when Mario interacts with it.<ref>{{cite|author=Benaim, Jason|date=May 5, 2013|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6tECCX3B4g|title=64DD emulation test|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 9, 2016}}</ref>

| *''[[Mario Party]]'' originally [[List of Mario Party pre-release and unused content|was supposed]] to be compatible with the Nintendo 64DD, suggesting that ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' was originally [[List of Mario Party 2 pre-release and unused content|supposed to serve as]] an expansion disk to it.<ref>{{cite|author=adonfjv|date=June 18, 2009|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKu5lABxR2Q|title=Mario Party PAL with 64DD error 31 gameshark|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 12, 2018}}</ref>
| |
| *The official Japanese website for the 64DD listed various online features for the ''Mario Artist'' games as having gone live, including uploading and downloading creations, entering creations into contests, and sending creations to a sticker/postcard manufacturer who would then ship the finished product to a specified postal address.<ref>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701183041/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/9911/03/index.html|title=掲示板!? ゲームデータの追加!? ネットサービスについて、もっとくわしく！|accessdate=July 16, 2024|date=October~November 1999|publisher=Nintendo of Japan}}</ref>

| *[[N64 Rainbow Road#F-Zero X|N64 Rainbow Road]] in ''F-Zero X'' has added functionality when the player uses the Nintendo 64DD disc ''F-Zero X Expansion Kit'', with which a [[:File:FZX Rainbow Road.oga|rock version]] of the ''Mario Kart 64'' track version's theme is played when the player drives on that racetrack.
