'''''Super Mario 64 DS''''' (originally known as '''''Super Mario 64 × 4''''' during development)<ref>{{cite|url=www.unseen64.net/2008/04/22/super-mario-64-x-4-ds-beta|date=April 22, 2008|title=Super Mario 64 x 4 <nowiki>[</nowiki>DS – Beta / Unused Stuff<nowiki>]</nowiki>|author= U64 Staff & Contributors|publisher=Unseen64|accessdate=May 30, 2024|language=en}}</ref> is a 2004 game from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] made for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It is the first game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] released for the system and also the first 3D ''Super Mario'' game for a handheld console. The game is an enhanced [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] of the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay, and improved graphics. Like the original game, ''Super Mario 64 DS'' was released as a launch title.

Unlike in ''Super Mario 64'', [[Mario]] is not the only playable character (nor is he even available at the start); [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] become playable characters and join the adventure to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]]; the player also starts the game as Yoshi instead of Mario. ''Super Mario 64 DS'' is the first and so far the only game of the ''Super Mario'' series where Wario is playable. It is also one of the three ''Super Mario'' games where Yoshi is fully playable and not exclusively controlled by any of the other characters, the others being ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

Other new features within the game include a wireless multiplayer [[#VS mode|VS mode]], in which up to four players can play simultaneously on each Nintendo DS connected together locally (though this cannot be done on the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] version except for the single-player training), [[minigame|mini-game]]s to play with each character, and new additions to the story mode, such as new courses, missions, and bosses.
==Story==
'''From the instruction booklet:'''
<blockquote>"Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you."<br><br>At the invitation of Princess Peach, Mario, accompanied by party crashers Luigi and Wario, enter the Mushroom Castle.<br><br>But when the three don't come out of the castle for a long time, Yoshi decides to check up on them.<br><br>Upon entering the castle, Yoshi discovers that no one is there. According to Toad, Bowser has stolen the Power Stars guarding the castle and locked Princess Peach into the walls and paintings. Maybe Mario and his friends have been captured in the paintings, too!<br><br>Now it's up to Yoshi to rescue Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Wario from the castle's paintings and walls!</blockquote>

Princess Peach writes a [[letter]] to Mario, telling him to come to [[Peach's Castle|her castle]] because she baked a [[cake]] for him. This letter is assumed to be a clever forgery from Bowser, who guesses that Mario and his friends would come looking and so employs [[Bowser's Minions|his minions]] to capture them beforehand.

Mario arrives outside the castle through a [[Warp Pipe]], followed by Luigi and Wario. The three then make their way to the castle entrance. Yoshi is seen asleep on the roof the entire time, only to later be awakened by one of the [[Lakitu Bros.]], who reveals that the others have not returned yet; immediately, Yoshi decides to locate them.

Yoshi tries to enter the castle, but the doors are locked. The Lakitu Bro says that he saw a [[rabbit]] with the [[key]] in his mouth. After Yoshi grabs the rabbit, the rabbit gives up the key to him. When Yoshi finally goes inside, he hears a voice from Bowser telling him, ''"Welcome. No one's home! Now scram--and don't come back! Gwa ha ha!"'' A [[Toad (species)|Toad]] informs Yoshi that Bowser and his army have kidnapped Peach and stolen the [[Power Star]]s. He also concludes the last time he saw the heroes is when they jumped into the [[Bob-omb]] painting. Yoshi then decides to investigate. Eventually, Yoshi starts collecting Power Stars, rescuing Mario, Luigi, and Wario along the way, and the four continue to collect the Power Stars in order to save Peach from Bowser.

There are alternate endings for ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Depending on which characters the player saves, they may or may not appear during the ending. Mario and Yoshi are always present in the ending. For each alternate ending, a different cake is awarded, featuring the characters that appeared in the ending as the cake figures. If the player does not drain the moat, then it does not appear as if it were drained. Also, if the player does not finish [[Snowman's Lost His Head]] on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]], the [[Headless Snowman]] lacks his body and has a sad expression.

==Gameplay==
As in ''Super Mario 64'', the courses are accessed by the different [[painting]]s on the castle's walls. While up to 120 Power Stars can be collected in the original, 150 can be collected in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', 30 more than in the original game.
===Controls===

The game makes use of the Nintendo DS's features by giving the player three different ways to control their character. All three modes are always accessible by pressing the {{button|ds|Select}} button.
*In Standard Mode, the chosen character is controlled with the Control Pad. The stylus can also be used in Standard Mode. {{button|ds|B}} is used for [[jump]]ing; {{button|ds|A}} is used for [[punch]]ing, [[kick]]ing, and sticking out Yoshi's tongue; and {{button|ds|Y}} is used for [[dash]]ing. The {{button|ds|R}} button is used for [[crouch]]ing, while {{button|ds|L}} handles the camera together with the {{button|ds|Pad}} Control Pad. Additionally, if the player is playing as Mario and presses {{button|ds|B}} while sliding down a wall, Mario [[Wall Jump|wall-kick]]s. Compared to Mario in ''Super Mario 64'', where he was moving as fast as the player tilted {{button|n64|Stick}} of the Nintendo 64 Controller, the characters in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' move much more slowly when the run button is not pressed.
*In Touch Mode, the character is controlled by having the player move their thumb or the {{button|ds|Stylus}} stylus across the Touch Screen. By using the thumb or stylus, the player can adjust the character's speed and direction in a manner similar to what was possible with the Nintendo 64's control stick. Jumping, crouching, and kicking are still executed with the buttons.
*In Dual-Hand Mode, the character is controlled with the stylus, and jumping, kicking, and crouching are done by utilizing either the buttons (for left-handed players) or the {{button|ds|Pad}} Control Pad (for right-handed players). The movement radius is larger with this control option, and all camera adjustments are done with the Touch Screen as well. The {{button|ds|L}} and {{button|ds|R}} buttons are not used.

On the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and the Wii U GamePad, however, {{button|3ds|Stick}}/{{button|wii|CCStickL}} makes for a more authentic feel of using the Circle Pad/Joystick, making for better and easier controls. However, the player still needs to press {{button|ds|Y}} to run, and the game still registers only eight different inputs, not the full range of a circle. In the options, the player can change how audio comes out of the speakers and the settings of the backlight. For sound, the player can choose between stereo, surround, and headphones. The backlight can be toggled on and off.

===Character selection=== 
[[File:TheDoors.png|200px|thumb|The doors with "M," "L," and "W" above them represent the rooms where the unlockable characters are trapped. After unlocking one, the player can pick and swap characters.]]
The player can switch between characters in the [[Peach's Room|princess's room]], which contains three [[switching room]]s, each symbolizing the character's first letter of his name. To use him, the player must go through the door, and the corresponding character comes out of the door. Reentering the door of the character currently selected switches the player back to playing as Yoshi. There are four doors in total (excluding the two for exiting the princess's room). However, the white-bordered door does not unlock a playable character but instead contains a secret Power Star, which can be unlocked if the player is able to catch the eight [[glowing rabbit]]s. Once the Power Star is obtained, the player can reenter the door, but there is no effect afterwards ([[Boo]] laughs are heard), and the player's character simply exits it and groans.
{{br}}

===Characters===
In order to fully complete the game, the player needs to unlock Mario, Luigi, and Wario, who were trapped behind doors by [[Bowser]]. The following table below shows how good each character is in a certain stat. Each has his own special abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. The instruction booklet shows each character's stats and indicates his abilities with stars. However, it omits the rating for [[swim]]ming speed and does not account for differences in physics that affect the stats. Mario, for example, has a higher top running speed than Luigi. Additionally, each character has different air speeds; Mario's jumps are higher than Yoshi's (most notably his [[Triple Jump|triple jump]]), and Mario also moves farther forward, tied with Luigi.

[[File:SM64DS Yoshi Artwork.png|100px]]
|rowspan=3|As the first and default character of the game, Yoshi must find and free Mario, Luigi, and Wario, who have been imprisoned from the clutches of Bowser and [[Bowser's Minions|his minions]]. Yoshi has average running speed but quite slow swimming speed. His jumping ability is generally worse than both Mario's and Luigi's, though better than Wario's, as Yoshi is able to [[Flutter Jump|flutter-kick]] (when {{button|ds|B}} is held) to reach higher places that the others cannot reach. However, he cannot punch or kick (unless he uses a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]), nor can he grab large objects or enemies. His [[Ground Pound|Pound the Ground]] attack also is not strong enough to break any [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]]s or defeat [[Boo]]s. Instead of normal attacks, he has the ability to [[swallow]] most enemies (when {{button|ds|A}} is pressed) and either spit them back out or turn them into [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] (when {{button|ds|R}} is pressed) that he can [[Egg Throw|throw]], making him the only character with a projectile attack. Yoshi can have only one egg at a time. His thrown eggs home in on enemies and defeat multiple enemies nearby in a sequence. Yoshi can also swallow fire and then spit it out as a stream of flame. Some enemies, such as [[Bully|Bullies]], cannot be swallowed. Yoshi's [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] ability is [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|Fire Power]], which fills his mouth with a flame he can use as much as he wants for a limited time. This flame can melt blocks of [[Ice Block|Ice]] and damage enemies. Yoshi is also the tallest character.

[[File:Mario SM64DS art.png|70px]]
|rowspan=3|Mario is trapped behind a door by [[Goomboss]] and is required to complete the game without the use of [[glitch]]es, since he is the only one who can enter the final Bowser [[level]], [[Bowser in the Sky]]. Using Yoshi from the starting point in the castle, the player should go up the stairs to the right 1-[[★ door]]. The player should go straight to the next door, go through the [[Goomboss Battle|8-★ door, and hop into the Mario painting]]. The player has to locate Goomboss by jumping into a hollow tree stump at the highest point of the level into a spot marked "X" on the map, and fight him by spitting Goombas at him for [[Mario's Key]]. The player then has to go back to the princess's room and unlock the "M" switching room to free Mario. Mario's stats in every category are average, and he plays similarly to his ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' self. He has the fastest running speed of the four heroes, and he is tied with Luigi for the highest jump height, making him preferred on certain timed segments. Mario is the only character who can perform the [[Wall Jump|wall kick]]. His Power Flower ability is [[Balloon Mario]], which lets him float to normally unreachable distances. Mario is also the only character who can access the item called "[[Wing Cap|Wings]]," turning him into [[Wing Mario]], which also allows him to reach greater heights by [[fly]]ing.

----
[[File:Luigi Artwork - Super Mario 64 DS.png|100px]]
|rowspan=3|Mario's younger twin brother, Luigi, is optional to find but is required to obtain certain Power Stars that the others cannot retrieve. The player has to jump into a painting on the top floor of [[Big Boo's Haunt]] as Mario. There, Mario must go through the door where he hears [[King Boo]]'s laugh, although some of the doors return the player to the entrance of the sub-level. When Mario reaches the end, he has to fight King Boo himself with any attack except jumping for the [[Luigi Key]], which is used to open the door to obtain Luigi. Luigi is slightly weaker than Mario; Luigi's attacks do the same damage, but he moves more slowly when carrying objects or enemies. He is the fastest swimmer of the four heroes. Luigi is tied with Mario for the highest jumps. Luigi, however, is more maneuverable in the air than his comrades. After a normal jump or [[Double Jump (consecutive)|double jump]], he can [[scuttle]] (which is similar to Yoshi's flutter kick) to briefly slow down his descent. After performing a [[Backward Somersault|backward somersault]], he spins as if he jumped on a [[Fly Guy]] and descends slowly. Luigi can also briefly run on [[water]], which is especially useful after a charged dash. Luigi is about as tall as Wario. Luigi's Power Flower ability is [[Vanish Mario|Vanish Luigi]], which functions identically to Vanish Mario from the original game and allows Luigi to pass through certain walls for a short time.

----
[[File:Wario SM64DS art.png|100px]]
|rowspan=3|Like Luigi, Wario is optional to find but is needed to obtain Power Stars that the others cannot retrieve. Once the [[Key Door]] right at the head of the stairs in the main lobby is unlocked, Luigi has to go inside, then get past another door leading to [[Snowman's Land]]. There are two Power Flowers, so the player has to use Luigi to go transparent into the mirror by the Snowman's Land wall (certain glitches allow Yoshi and Mario to unlock Wario, but only Luigi can be used without glitches), and he has to fight [[Chief Chilly]] by pushing him into the [[freezing water]] three times for the [[Wario Key]], which is used to open the door to find Wario. Wario has the worst speed stats and jumping capabilities of the four heroes, but he is by far the heaviest and strongest, being able to move faster when carrying objects and enemies and smash through [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]]s and other heavy objects. Wario's strength allows his punches to deal double damage to [[Eyerok]], defeating each hand in only two hits instead of three. In the VS mode, Wario has the unique ability to [[Wild Swing-Ding|pick up stunned opponents, spin them, and throw them]], in a similar fashion to throwing Bowser. Wario can also ground-pound objects with twice the strength of the other characters. His height is about the same as Luigi's. Wario's Power Flower ability is [[Metal Mario|Metal Wario]], which functions identically to Metal Mario in the original game. This form gives Wario invulnerability to enemy attacks, [[lava]], and freezing water, as well as the ability to walk underwater. Wario still takes falling damage, however.

===Colored caps===
In the painting worlds and some secret courses, the [[cap]]s of Mario, Luigi, and Wario can be found and are visible on the Touch Screen. When a cap is put on, the player's character turns into the corresponding character who owns the cap. He gets all moves of the character who owns the cap, including the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] and [[Wing Cap|Wings]] power-ups, but keeps his original voice. The caps are usually found on the heads of [[Goomba]]s, Boos, or [[Dorrie]]; on land or underwater; or on any other enemy.

When the player is hit by an enemy, the cap topples off, and the character needs to retrieve it within a limited time. When the cap disappears, it reappears on a different, set location in the course. If Mario, Luigi, or Wario loses his original cap, he cannot pick up any other characters' caps or use Power Flowers until he retrieves his own. All of them also take double damage when hurt.

With Yoshi, a player can select the cap when selecting a Star right after jumping into a painting. If a cap is selected, Yoshi puts it on after entering the course.

===Coins===
[[File:CoinsY,R,B.png|thumb|The three different coins]]
Coins can be collected by every character. In every course, there are a little over 100 coins, and collecting 100 in each gives the player 15 extra Stars for the 15 courses. After successfully completing a mission by grabbing a Star, the player gets an [[extra life]] for every 50 coins collected (this, however, does not work if the player exits the course via the menu). The highest number of coins that the player can collect is 255. They can be found on land, in the sea, in [[enemy|enemies]], etc. They also refill the player's [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]] by one wedge for each coin collected. 

There are three types of coins:
*[[Coin|Yellow Coins]] are worth one coin and are found in most enemies.
*[[Red Coin]]s are worth two coins and have to be collected in groups of eight during one mission in each world and in some secret courses for a Power Star to appear.
*[[Blue Coin]]s are worth five coins and are often temporary. They are found in tougher enemies or on [[slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]]s, or they do not appear until the player hits a [[Blue Coin Block|blue Switch]].

===Power Flower powers===
[[File:Power Flower.png|frame|A Power Flower]]
Each of the four player characters has a special power from the Power Flower found inside [[Cap Block|red ? Block]]s, replacing the three caps from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Only Mario can get something other than a Power Flower from a ? Block, which is the "[[Wings (Super Mario 64 DS)|Wings]]" (a white feather) to transform him into [[Wing Mario]] for 60 seconds. A player character can use his power only temporarily. If anyone other than Yoshi hits a ? Block without his cap, a [[Bob-omb]] comes out instead. In some ? Blocks (such as the ones in Whomp's Fortress and Snowman's Land), a Bob-omb is always spawned if the blocks are broken by Mario, even with his cap on. The three powers that Mario can use in ''Super Mario 64'', namely the Wing, Invisibility, and Metal powers, can now exclusively be used by Mario, Luigi, and Wario, respectively. However, Luigi's and Wario's powers last shorter compared to Mario's equivalent forms in ''Super Mario 64''.

|Yoshi's fiery breath can melt blocks of [[Ice Block|Ice]] and roast enemies with fire blasts. The ability is accessible either from a bonfire in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]] or by swallowing certain enemies such as a [[Fly Guy]]. Yoshi can spit fire only once, but he can carry the fire within his mouth for an unlimited time.

===Rabbits===
{{main|Rabbit}}
In addition, there are many rabbits to catch. They replace [[MIPS]] from the original game and have the same name internally and in the [[Shogakukan]] guide. The rabbits give up keys to unlock mini-game drawers in the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]] when caught. Seven rabbits spawn around the castle as each character, and any rabbits not meant for a certain character do not spawn unless that character is selected. Wario catches orange ones, Luigi catches green ones, Mario catches pink ones, and Yoshi catches yellow ones, for a total of 28 rabbits. To make the rabbits appear, the player must talk to the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in the Rec Room. Upon the player talking to the [[Lakitu Bros.|Lakitu Bro]] at the start of the game, an extra yellow rabbit appears near the hedge maze, and it provides the key to the front doors of the castle. Though intended to be caught as Yoshi, if unlocking the front doors is avoided using [[glitch]]es, the rabbit still spawns when accessed as any other character, despite appearing yellow. Once caught, this rabbit never reappears and can never be a [[glowing rabbit]].

===Rabbit locations===
The following table displays information pertaining to the whereabouts of each rabbit, which mini-game its related key unlocks, and the number of Power Stars that are required to access the rabbit. For more information regarding the mini-games unlocked, view the section about the [[#Rec Room|Rec Room]].

To unlock the white-bordered door within the [[Peach's Room|princess's room]], the player must catch eight glowing rabbits. Once the player has collected at least 50 Stars and the given rabbit has already been caught, there is a 1/32 chance for the rabbit to be glowing white each time the area the rabbit is in is loaded. This chance increases to 1/16 once at least 80 Stars have been collected. Upon catching a glowing rabbit, the player is informed of how many glowing rabbits are left to be caught or, on the final rabbit, is given the key to the white-bordered door. Once the key to the white-bordered door has been collected, rabbits no longer have any chance to be glowing.

Three [[key]]s are used to unlock [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]]. They are obtained after boss battles. [[Mario's Key]] is obtained once [[Goomboss]] is defeated, [[Luigi Key|Luigi's key]] is obtained once [[King Boo]] is defeated, and [[Wario Key|Wario's key]] is obtained once [[Chief Chilly]] is defeated.

Upon catching all of the eight glowing rabbits, the player receives a key that unlocks the white-bordered door in the princess's room. The first time the player opens it and enters, they find a Power Star. However, if they come back after taking it, Boos' laughs can be heard, and the player character comes out of the door, startled.

At the beginning of the game, after catching a rabbit near the small hedge on the left of the castle, [[Yoshi]] gets the key to unlock the castle's front doors.

After clearing the first two [[Bowser]] levels, the player receives [[key#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Big Keys]] to access the basement and second floor, respectively.

==Courses and missions==
[[File:SM64DS Dark World Star 2.png|thumb|Mario fighting Bowser in Bowser in the Dark World]]
The following table displays information regarding each course, the [[Power Star]]s found within each course, how to get the Stars, and what character is required to obtain the Stars. During some missions, the player can find a cap of another character that transforms them into the character that owns the respective cap. The number of caps in a course varies and is based on which characters have been rescued, with few exceptions. Yoshi does not have a cap but is able to choose from the rescued characters' before selecting a mission. When the player's coin meter reaches 100 for the first time in a particular course, a bonus Power Star appears, making a total of eight Power Stars available in each course. If one of the characters receives a Power Star and redoes the mission, the Power Star appears as blue and does not add to the total. Bowser is fought in three courses, each of which is behind a [[Big Star Door]], and a certain number of [[Power Star]]s is required to open the doors. Big Star Doors can be opened only with Mario, though once one is opened, any character can enter the door. The only exception to this is the Big Star Door leading to the final Bowser course; if any character other than Mario enters it, that character is brought to the [[endless stairs]] instead.

In the Mirror Room,<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980610064913/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/basic10.html|title=Course 10: Snowman's Land|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|language=en-us|accessdate=March 15, 2022}}</ref> which leads to Snowman's Land and Chief Chilly Challenge, the player can use Luigi to obtain a Power Flower and run through the mirror. The door on the other side leads to a Power Star in a white room. This sidequest is called '''Through the Looking Glass''', whose name is derived from the title of the novel ''{{wp|Through the Looking-Glass}}'' by {{wp|Lewis Carroll}}. After 50 Power Stars have been obtained, [[glowing rabbit]]s randomly appear around the castle in place of ordinary ones that have been caught. Eight must be grabbed to earn a Star, but they are so scarce, it is rare to find one. They do not appear in the place of a rabbit unless the rabbit in question has been caught before. When the last one is caught, the player is given a key that unlocks the last room in the character-selection area. Inside this room is the Power Star. If the player goes into the room after the Power Star is collected, Boos are heard laughing, and the player character simply exits the room and groans. Nearly all other courses are accessed from inside the castle, with Big Boo Battle, Behind the Waterfall and The Secret Under the Moat being the sole exceptions.<br>'''Unlock criterion:''' Begin a new save file.

|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A giant [[Bob-omb]] at the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] that attacks by throwing smaller Bob-ombs in his first battle. The Big Bob-omb can be defeated by sending the Bob-ombs back at him three times. In his second battle, the Big Bob-omb attacks by tossing the player around the stage, but he can still be defeated if a cap-wearing character picks him up and tosses him three times.
|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A giant [[Whomp]] at [[Whomp's Fortress]] that tries to crush the player by falling on top of them. They must avoid the attack and ground-pound the king's back as he is about to get up. Doing so three times defeats him.
|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A giant [[Goomba]] that holds the key to Mario's door and walks around the stage with some Goombas. Yoshi can defeat him by spitting a Goomba at him three times; however, Goomboss spawns more Goombas and gets faster after each hit. If he is fought by Yoshi, the Goombas spawn behind Goomboss. If he is fought by anyone else, the Goombas spawn in front of him.
|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|Mario's archenemy and the main villain of the game. Bowser's tactics differ depending on when he is fought, but he usually attacks by [[Fire Breath|breathing fire]] and ramming into the player. He can be defeated by tossing him into a [[Mine|spiked orb]] once the first two times he is fought. For the final encounter, the player must throw him into spiked orbs three times to defeat him.

The Big Boo attacks by ramming the humans if they are not looking at him. The player can defeat the Big Boo by hitting him three times with any attack except jumping when he is not invisible.
|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A giant [[Mr. I]] that hides in a secret room at the top of Big Boo's Haunt along with a Boo. He attacks by shooting blue flames at the player and can be defeated if they run around him enough times, making him dizzy.
|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A similar foe to the normal Big Boo that guards the key to Luigi's door. He can warp between realities and attack by ramming into the player or spitting blue flames at them. This Big Boo can be defeated by hitting him three times with any attack other than jumping.
|colspan="5"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A large [[Bully]] that is fought two times in [[Lethal Lava Land]]. He attacks the player by ramming into them, trying to push them into the [[lava]]. To defeat the Big Bully, the player must do the same by repeatedly hitting him towards the lava.

The player must punch each eye three times (or twice if playing as Wario) to defeat Eyerok. If playing as Yoshi, the player must ground-pound into, slide-kick, or spit fire at him.
|colspan="4"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A large Bully encased in ice that has the same fighting style as the Big Bully. However, the platform that he is fought on is made of ice as well, making it very slippery. Pushing him into the [[freezing water]] once defeats him.
|colspan="4"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A larger Chill Bully that guards the key to Wario's door. Luigi must push him into the ice-cold water three times to defeat him; however, Chief Chilly makes the platform that he is fought on smaller after each hit.
|colspan="4"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|Five enormous fire-breathing [[Piranha Plant]]s that rapidly shoot up from the ground when approached, shrinking down after attacking. While visible, they are vulnerable to punches.
|colspan="4"align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|A caterpillar that is angry at the player for flooding his house. He attacks by charging at the player. When his head is jumped on two times, he becomes angrier and attacks at a much faster speed. When jumped on once more, he is defeated.

==VS mode==
[[File:SM64DS Vs Mode.png|thumb|Green, Red, and Blue Yoshi in the Castle Grounds in the VS mode]]
The game includes a multiplayer VS mode. The mode can be accessed from the Title Screen by tapping the orange "VS" button at the bottom left of the Touch Screen. The VS mode supports only single-card gameplay, with Player 1 as the host with the inserted cartridge and Players 2–4 using the DS Download Play feature. The VS mode starts in a waiting area, which takes place in [[Peach's Castle|a castle]] interior, as shown from the top screen. It depicts a desert sand-colored wall with a large [[painting]] of a cloudy sky, two large pillars located left and right each, a red carpet on the checkered floor that leads up to the wall, and red drapes hanging on the ceiling. While other players are preparing, the bottom screen reads "Waiting for opponents..." When other players have joined, their names are displayed on Player 1's screen. The host can then tap the "TOUCH TO START" notice to start the battle. While in the waiting room, players can press {{button|ds|Start}} to change the settings and press {{button|ds|Select}} to change their controller layout. After a course is selected, the gameplay begins.

Players aim to collect more [[Power Star]]s and [[coin]]s than their opponents. At the top center of the screen is a countdown timer, which starts at 30. Players can hold up to five Power Stars. When a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is attacked by an obstacle or opponent, it loses a Power Star, which bounces around the course, akin to a [[Silver Star]]. The Yoshi can reclaim the Power Star before their opponent does. [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]], [[Luigi Cap|Luigi's cap]], and [[Wario Cap|Wario's cap]] are located around the stage, and they transform the Yoshis into [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]], respectively. Yoshis can [[swallow]] their opponents unless their opponent is wearing a cap. A few of the stages have a large yellow block that contains a pair of wings, which temporarily grant Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario the ability to [[fly]]. Wario is the only character with an ability exclusive to the VS mode, the [[Wild Swing-Ding|Swing and Fling]], where if Wario attacks an opponent, they get knocked out slightly longer, allowing him to grab the opponent, swing them around, and throw them. Whoever finishes with the most Power Stars is the winner, though if two or more players are tied, the winner is determined by the number of coins.

===Characters===
Every player controls a Yoshi, all with the same abilities: Player 1 controls the default Green Yoshi, Player 2 controls a Red Yoshi, Player 3 controls a Blue Yoshi, and Player 4 controls a Yellow Yoshi.

===Stages===
A stage can be selected only by Player 1, by tapping its icon on the Touch Screen, then the Yoshis jump into the painting to enter that course. They are taken to the selected course, and the gameplay starts.

|-
|[[Castle Grounds]]
|The outdoor area in front of the Mushroom Castle. It has a few differences, including ropes that block the castle's doors and cannon, a moving platform added to the moat and lake, and a [[Chain Chomp|Chain-Chomp]] bouncing around the area. One of the Power Stars is at the tip of its chain.
|-
|[[Sunshine Isles]]
|In the main game, this course is accessed from a painting in the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]]. There are a few differences: The background music is changed, the sky is faced differently, there are no enemies, and there is a yellow block containing a feather.
|-
|[[The Princess's Secret Slide]]
|In the main game, this course is located in the [[Peach's Room|princess's room]]. The caps are found at both the beginning and end of the level. It is the only course where Power Stars are not found in [[Star Sphere]]s. If a player falls off, they are returned to the beginning of the slide.
|-
|[[Battle Fort]]
|In the main game, this course is accessed from the courtyard of the Mushroom Castle, through a hole under a Brick. The course features [[metal ball|iron ball]]s (which Wario can break), and in the VS mode, it also features no enemies and two yellow blocks containing feathers.

==Rec Room==

Once keys are gained, they can open shelves to unlock [[minigame|mini-game]]s. Yoshi's mini-games are puzzle-based, Mario's are action-packed, Luigi's are casino (or luck-based) games, and Wario's do not have a specific theme.

The following table is a complete listing of all the mini-games, their in-game instructions, and the numbers of [[Power Star]]s needed to unlock the mini-games. Most of these mini-games are reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and they also have multiplayer, along with some new ones. There are 36 mini-games in total. Each character has nine mini-games: The first two are available from the start, while the other seven are obtained from catching the rabbits.

==List of changes from the original game==
Although ''Super Mario 64 DS'' is a clear remake of the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', there are some elements that were added in the game that the original game did not have, as well as elements that are seen only in the original game that were taken out or slightly tweaked in its remake.
===Gameplay changes===
====General====
[[File:SM64DS Sign.png|thumb|Luigi reading a sign that has been partially pounded into the ground]]
[[File:SM64DS Title Screen Luigi.png|thumb|left|128px|Luigi's appearance on the Title Screen]]
*[[Mario]], in addition to [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]], are now all playable. Only Mario is playable in the original, while Yoshi makes an unplayable cameo appearance on the [[Peach's Castle#Castle Grounds|castle roof]] after the original game is finished, and Luigi and Wario did not make any appearances or cameos in the original. There were, however, [[List of rumors and urban legends#Luigi in Super Mario 64 / "L is real 2401"|rumors that Luigi could be unlocked in the original]], but those have since been debunked, and he was planned to appear in the original game but was dropped out.
*On the Title Screen, Mario's or Yoshi's face can be dragged by the stylus. While being dragged, they become wireframe. The user can also design a custom picture to drag around. In the original, [[Mario's face]] can be pulled by the cursor. If the player taps Mario's or Yoshi's face, a drawing of Mario or Yoshi (respectively) appears. The third time the player taps Mario's face, a Luigi drawing appears instead.
*In the original game, Mario (the only character capable of [[Wall Jump|wall-kick]]ing in both the original game and the remake) cannot slide down walls. He is able to do so in the remake, as in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', making wall-kicking much easier to perform than in the original.
*Wall-kicking from a [[dive]] is now possible if Mario dives into a wall at a low enough speed.
*By holding {{button|ds|Y}} to charge up a [[dash]] while standing still, then pressing any direction on the {{button|ds|Pad}} Control Pad, any character can transition from standing still to dashing at full speed.
*It is possible to grab ledges during a [[Triple Jump|triple jump]], whereas Mario must land above the platform surface in the original.
*The [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] has a different effect for each character: Mario is able to [[Balloon Mario|float]], Luigi can become [[Vanish Mario|invisible]], Wario can become a [[Metal Mario|metal version of himself]], and Yoshi can [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|blow fire out of his mouth]]. Mario can also [[fly]] by collecting a feather. In the original, Mario is able to collect different caps to use these various abilities (excluding the fire and balloon power-ups), specifically the [[Wing Cap]], the [[Vanish Cap]], and the [[Metal Cap]].
*There are 150 Power Stars in the whole game, an increase from the original game's total of 120.
**There are eight [[Power Star]]s in each course. In the original, there are only seven in each course.
*There are 36 [[rabbit]]s to catch. In the original, there is only one rabbit, [[MIPS]], who is caught twice in the basement.
*Wario is now able to pick up [[sign]]s and throw them like any enemy that is picked up. He is also able to jump on signs and ground-pound them into the ground once. In the original version, Mario is not able to pick up signs, nor is he able to ground-pound them. He and the other characters cannot pick up signs but can ground-pound them twice.<ref>{{cite|author=Greenalink|date=June 23, 2016|url=youtu.be/vlCmbSAQBmg?t=3002|00:50:02|title=''Super Mario 64'': Changes from N64 to DS - Nintendo 64's 20th anniversary special|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 30, 2024}}</ref>
*The [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] power-up was added, mainly found in [[block (Super Mario 64)|Bricks]], and it causes the player to grow to an [[Mega Mario|enormous size]] (and gives Yoshi punching and kicking abilities as well as the ability to destroy Bricks). Within a time limit, one can defeat virtually every enemy, which could not be done in ''Super Mario 64''. After destroying the first seven, the player receives an [[extra life]] for anything else they destroy. A [[List of references in advertisements#Got Milk?|1990s Got Milk? commercial]] shows simulated footage from ''Super Mario 64'' featuring a giant Mario, but it was impossible in the original version.
*As the [[Nintendo DS]] does not have the analog stick that the Nintendo 64 has, either the D-Pad or the stylus can be used for movement (depending on the settings), though the Circle Pad on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] can also be used in a somewhat similar manner.
*[[Klepto]] appears in three different levels, while in the original, he appears only in the level Shifting Sand Land.
*The {{button|ds|L}} and {{button|ds|X}} buttons on the Nintendo DS control the camera. In the original, the {{button|n64|C}} buttons on the Nintendo 64 control the camera. The camera also gains a new sound effect and full 360-degree camera control in all courses but the Bowser ones, where it is restricted to eight fixed angles.
*Rabbits, when caught by the player, can unlock mini-games in the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]]. In the original, a rabbit provided hints and/or a Star.
*[[Silver Star]]s were added in the remake. During Silver Star missions, the player must collect five Silver Stars to make a Power Star appear.
*In the original, [[List of Super Mario 64 glitches#Backwards Long Jump|a glitch]] can cause Mario to gain excessive negative speed when repeatedly performing backward [[Long Jump|long jumps]] on certain surfaces such as slopes, stairs, and elevators. It also allowed him to bypass the [[endless stairs]] with fewer than 70 Stars. Like in other updated releases of the game, this glitch has been patched so that Mario and the others remain at intended speeds, as well as only allowing Mario to enter [[Bowser in the Sky]].
*There are three save files to play on. In the original, there are four.
*[[Star Switch]]es are seen in this game. They make a Power Star appear for a limited time in a [[Star Sphere]].
*There are red [[? Block]]s and yellow [[! Block]]s. Like in the original, yellow ! Blocks are the standard ones, whereas the new red ? Blocks now share the same [[Cap Block|functionality]] as the three colored ! Blocks from the original. They also now spawn a [[Bob-omb]] if anyone besides Yoshi does not have a cap.
*The ability to bounce-[[Slide Kick|slide-kick]] off [[lava]] once has been removed.
*The ability for Mario to wall-kick from a full-speed long jump has been removed. However, he can now wall-kick from a [[Backward Somersault|backward somersault]], dive rollout, or slide-kick rollout (the latter two now allowing ledge-grabs, which means [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and Bowser in the Sky can now be entered without jumping).
*In the original game, collecting a 100-Coin Star (or a Red Coin Star in a Bowser stage) would keep Mario's health where it was when he collected it. In the DS version, the player's health gets refilled.
*The [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]] loses and gains power slower than in the original game after the player respawns from death or drops from high places.
*Diving at the end of a fall inflicts no damage, no matter how high the character fell from.
*Falling with the Wing Cap while holding the jump button does slow down the fall, but unlike in the original game, it does not prevent damage from falling.
*In the original, during the final scene after the credits (after everyone waves goodbye to the player), the [[cake]] awarded to Mario is displayed, and the player must reset the system to continue playing. However, in the remake, after the cake is shown, pressing any button takes the player back to the Title Screen.
*In the original game, when Mario goes to sleep in shallow water, he remains asleep after lying down. However, in the remake, after Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, or Wario stays asleep for a period of time, he immediately wakes up after lying down.
*[[Pokey]]s can no longer be safely jumped on to defeat them.

====Course-specific====
[[File:SM64DS Garden Maze.png|thumb|The additional hedges]]
*Hedges and an additional ramp that leads into the moat have been added to the Castle Grounds. The doors to the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] are now locked and require a [[key]], which is obtained from a rabbit there.
*The door on the top right corner of the lobby contains only two Peach murals (one still leading to [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]), as well as five additional doors. The three doors with letters above them allow the player to switch between characters; the remaining door contains a secret Power Star, and the door in the back center leads to the Rec Room and [[Goomboss Battle]]. In the original, the room is smaller and contains three Peach murals inside it (one leading to The Princess's Secret Slide).
*Two Power Flowers appear in the Mirror Room of the Mushroom Castle (four if the ones through the mirror are counted), but only if Luigi is used. In the original, no power-ups appear whatsoever in the room.
*After collecting all Stars, the player can be shot out of a [[cannon]] to the top of the Mushroom Castle. Three [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]]s can be found there, as well as one of Luigi's rabbits. Also present on the roof is a red ? Block, which gives the player a feather for Mario and a Power Flower for Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. In the original game, Mario finds Yoshi on the roof. He awards the player 100 lives and a new animation for his triple jump, then jumps into the waterfall.
*The bottom layer of [[Whomp's Fortress]] has been expanded significantly, adding space for a Star Switch and its respective Power Star, along with several new enemies.
*Firing at the breakable walls in Whomp's Fortress no longer inflicts damage.
*The Star for [[Blast to the Stone Pillar]] is out in the open (like in the original Japanese version) and not in a yellow block.
*The [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] in the Hazy Maze Cave inflicts knockback on the player's character.
*In the original game, Mario's cap did not despawn when he lost it in [[Snowman's Land]]. In the DS version, when Mario, Luigi, or Wario loses his cap in Snowman's Land, it gets stolen by a [[Mr. Blizzard]].
*The interior of the igloo in Snowman's Land has been entirely changed in the DS version.
*On [[Cool, Cool Mountain]], the pond next to the [[Mother Penguin]] is now frozen. After a Star Switch is pressed, a Power Star appears underneath the ice, and it can be obtained with Wario by ground-pounding.
*[[Over the Rainbows]], known as Wing Mario Over the Rainbow in the original game, is no longer counted as a cold course like Cool, Cool Mountain and Snowman's Land, meaning Mario and others can fall asleep instead of shivering after idling long enough in this course.

===Sound changes===
*Upon the game's start-up, Mario does not say anything on the [[Nintendo]] logo screen and says, "''It's-a me, Mario!''" only on the Title Screen. In the original, he says, "''It's-a me, Mario!''" on the Nintendo logo screen and "''Hello!''" on the Title Screen.
*When a pipe appears at the start of a new game, Mario says, "''Ha ha!''" after a pause. In the original, he immediately says it after saying, "''Yahoo!''"
*When Mario performs a [[Triple Jump]], his voice clips are not randomized.
*When the Big Boos are hit in the original, they make the same sound as the Thwomp, but they do not do so in the remake.
*When Mario goes to sleep after idling long enough, he does not talk in his sleep, though this may be because it would have to be recorded for the other three characters.
*Instruments in most tracks are not panned nearly as much as in the original. The samples are also slightly shorter and at a lower quality. A more major alternation was made in Hazy Maze Cave's introduction, which is now longer.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLLEphDzDw</ref>
*The [[penguin]]s on Cool, Cool Mountain have different crying sounds from the original.
*In the original version, [[Princess Peach]] says, ''"Mario! The power of the Stars is restored to the castle...and it's all thanks to you! Thank you, Mario! We have to do something special for you..."'' and ''"Listen, everybody, let's bake a delicious cake...for Mario..., Mario,"'' after being rescued. In the remake, she instead opens her speech with ''"Oh! Yoshi!"''; says ''"Thank you all!"'' in place of ''"Thank you, Mario!"''; and ends her speech with ''"Listen... Let's bake a delicious cake...for my heroes..., Yoshi!"'' Her voice clips are also redone.
*As with the ''Shindō Pak Taiō Version'', Mario says, "''Buh-bye!''" instead of "''So long kinga Bowser!''" when throwing Bowser a great distance.
*Entering [[Rainbow Ride]] causes the sound effect for entering a mini-course to play; in the original, it plays the sound effect for entering any other main course.
*Mario will say "''Buh-bye!''" whenever the player closes the DS to enter Sleep Mode and also says "''It's-a me, Mario!''" when the player reopens it.
*New music has been composed, such as the jingles for collecting the Silver Stars and flying with [[Hoot]].

===Text changes===
[[File:SM64DS 1UP Text.png|thumb|The "1UP" text]]
*When the player first enters [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in the original, they are greeted with ''"Come on in here...heh, heh, heh..."'' This was removed in the remake.
*In the original version, the [[Big Boo (character)|Big Boo]]'s laughs in the mission [[Go on a Ghost Hunt]] are written as ''"'''K'''a ha ha ha!"'' In the remake, ''"'''H'''a ha ha ha!"'' is written instead.
*The [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]] of the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] is obsessed with his mustache. In the original, he is not shown to have any particular interests.
*Collecting a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] causes the words "1UP" to appear in orange text, as with the 2D ''Super Mario'' games. In the original, no onscreen icon appears.

===Graphical changes===
[[File:SM64DS Hazy Maze Cave Star 4.png|thumb|The purple poison in the toxic maze]]
*Many returning characters' models are much more detailed and smoothened, including Mario's, Bowser's, Yoshi's, [[Koopa Troopa]]s' and [[Goomba]]s'.
**Mario's and Bowser's models are updated to match their current appearances since ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
*A blue tint overlay and a layer of mist have been added underwater.
*The painting for [[Jolly Roger Bay]] is based on that in the original Japanese version.
*Peach wears her hair up in a ponytail instead of wearing her hair down. This is based on her appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', which was the debut of her ponytail hairstyle.
*All the textures are redone to take advantage of increased memory.
*The sun and moon found in level skyboxes are now separate objects from them. Additionally, the pyramids seen in the background of [[Shifting Sand Land]] have been removed.
*In the remake, [[coin]]s are octagonal, but in the original, they are circular. Additionally, they are 3D objects in the remake, while they were animated 2D sprites in the original game.
*Several enemies have updated designs. Many of the designs from this game end up becoming the standard for later games.
**[[Cheep Cheep|Bub]]s were depicted as resembling [[Blurp]]s with an orange, scale-like texture and plain fins, but they have a traditional design in the remake.
**[[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]]s were depicted as a larger version of the aforementioned Bubs with shades, but due to the Bubs looking on-model, they were revised to look more like [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]].
**In the original, Boos have blue eyes and are oblong, but in the remake, they use their current appearance from ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', where they have black eyes and are more spherical.
**[[Mr. Blizzard]]s have zigzag mouths and wear buckets like hats, while in the original, they have circular mouths and wear nothing on their heads. Their defeat animation shows them spinning (similar to [[Mr. I]]'s) instead of falling on their sides.
**[[Lakitu's Cloud]] looks less like a real cloud and has a happy face, while in the original, it resembles a normal cloud. Additionally, Lakitu is smiling in the remake, while in the original, he has a neutral expression.
**In the original, [[Thwomp]]s are blue and cube-shaped, while in the remake, they use their ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' design and, as such, are a gray-green color, spiked, and rectangular. Despite the spikes, the player can still stand on top of them.
**[[Whomp]]s now have gray rectangles for hands instead of purple spheres.
**[[Heave-Ho]]s have their faces replaced with a pair of digital eyes.
**[[Skeeter]]s are now light blue instead of turquoise.
**[[Scuttlebug|Scuttle Bug]]s no longer resemble orange marbles, instead having bee-like stripes. Their bodies are also now 3D models rather than 2D sprites.
**[[Bob-omb]]s and [[Chuckya|Chuck-Ya]]s gain windup keys, like the former's classic design and their design used since ''Mario Party 4''.
**[[Bomp|Moving Bar]]s no longer have eyes in [[Whomp's Fortress]].
**[[Pokey]]s now have their ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' design and can graphically rotate.
**[[Maw-Ray|Unagi]] now has a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]-like head and yellow markings.
**[[Snifit (Super Mario 64)|Sniffit]]s are less spherical and wear black masks instead of white.
**[[Fly Guy]]s have visible mouths.
**[[Spindel]]s have one row of bandages instead of three.
**[[Monty Mole]]s have a new design with a double upper lip.
**[[Bullet Bill]]s have a design similar to their design from ''Super Mario Bros.'' but silver, without a mouth, and with black arms. The original game's version resembled a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]].
**[[Chain Chomp]]s have more spaced eyes.
**[[Spindrift]]s have tan heads.
**Goombas appear in a darker shade of brown, while the artwork is now far more consistent with their model.
**[[Flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|Flame thrower]]s now resemble active [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomp]]s instead of simple, black spheres.
**[[Amp]]s have white lips and yellow eyes and lack the original design's cross-popping veins.
**The projectile a Mr. I shoots is turquoise and glowing instead of a purple bubble. Mr. I itself now has a slitted pupil instead of a rounded one.
**[[Swoop]]s no longer have visible teeth but have yellow, red, and purple details based on their designs from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
**[[Piranha Plant]]s now have white lips instead of green, as in their pre-N64 designs as well as the design used since ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. 
**The Big Bob-omb now has white gloves instead of yellow.
**The [[Whomp King]] now has a crown and is shaped in a more chipped, irregular shape.
**[[Big Bully|Big Bullies]] have spiked rings around their horns and red rings around their eyes.
**[[Wiggler]] now turns red after the second hit and looks angry throughout. He also now has spots.
**[[Bowser]] no longer has a disproportionately large head. Additionally, he no longer sports an iridescent tint when battled in [[Bowser in the Sky]].
*The [[Headless Snowman]] now has facial expressions.
*The [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] is now purple instead of greenish yellow in the original.
*[[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]]' feet are now red instead of orange. They also now have fuses.
*Unlike the remake, in the original game, two [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s accompanied Peach.
*Hoot flaps his wings while speaking. In the original, Hoot is frozen when he gives his speech. He also flaps his wings slower compared to him in the original.
*Instances of Bowser depictions that used 2D artwork in the original, namely the moving platforms in [[Lethal Lava Land]] (which is a modified version of his ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' artwork) and the submarine in [[Dire, Dire Docks]], have been replaced with depictions using 3D renders.
*Wario, Luigi, and Yoshi figures appear on the cake at the end, along with those of Mario and Peach (with Wario and Luigi appearing only if the player unlocked them). Only Mario and Peach are seen in the original game.

==Regional differences==
[[File:KoreaSM64DS.png|thumb|The title screen of the Korean release, which does not have "Rec Room"]]
*The mini-games, and by extension the rabbits that have the keys to unlock extra mini-games and the Toad that appears in the Rec Room inside the Mushroom Castle, are removed in the Korean version, likely due to the presence of gambling in Luigi's mini-games.<ref>{{cite|title=''[[tcrf:Super Mario 64 DS#Regional Differences|Super Mario 64 DS]]''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref> Colored rabbits do not appear, though the yellow rabbit with the castle's door's key and glowing rabbits still do.
*The Japanese and Korean version colors the word "Super" (as well as the word 「神游」 in the iQue Chinese version) in many colors rather than just one color, making it look a lot like the original game's title screen. 
*There is a yellow [[! Block]] alongside the red ? Block on the roof of the Mushroom Castle in the Korean version, rather than only the ? Block in the other releases. This ! Block gives [[extra life|extra lives]]: The block does not disappear so that the player can easily earn up to 100 lives.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOGJQ59Jr_A|date=July 28, 2016|title=슈퍼마리오 64DS 요시로 성 꼭대기 올라가기|publisher=YouTube|language=ko|accessdate=May 30, 2024}}</ref>
*The US v1.1 version has different enemy bounce physics than the US v1.0 version. V1.0 mimics the original game, while v1.1 puts every bounce in the jump state.

==Notable mistakes and errors==
*When the player puts on [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]] for the first time, the game states that the player must press {{button|ds|A}} to do a [[Wall Jump|wall kick]]. This is incorrect, as the player must press {{button|ds|B}} to wall-kick; the error is possibly a result of referencing the control scheme from the original release. In the Japanese version of the game, however, wall kicks are not mentioned in this line of text at all.
*The European version of the game has an inconsistent apostrophe character when played in English; while most text uses a straight apostrophe (') as does all text in the American release, some text was altered to use a curly apostrophe (’). 
*Despite the instruction booklet giving Yoshi's jumps a three-star rating, his [[Long Jump|long jump]]s and [[Triple Jump|triple jump]]s do not go as high or far as Luigi's or even Mario's (who has only a two-star rating).
*[[King Boo]] is mistakenly referred to as [[Big Boo (character)|Big Boo]] despite there already being a character with that name.
*In [[Big Boo's Haunt]], the part of the library leading to the "[[Secret of the Haunted Books]]" Power Star where several [[Bookend]]s fly off the shelves uses the normal floor texture sound instead of the wood texture sound.
*In a similar manner to the above example, on the castle's third floor, the ground by the 50-[[Big Star Door|Star Door]] has the carpet texture sound instead of the normal floor texture sound.
*The instruction booklet states that Mario and Luigi's speed is the same as Yoshi's. In fact, Mario and Luigi are the fastest in running and [[swim]]ming, respectively.<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet|page=18–20|date=2004|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>
*Even if the player has collected the Star, a Star that is held by Unagi or Klepto or the caged Star on Tall, Tall Mountain appears as if it has not been collected yet when untouched by the player.
*If the player enters the Tower of the Wing Cap without Mario's cap, the Wing Cap still appears on Mario. He even has his cap on until he leaves by any method.
*The UK version of the game's manual reads, "Thank you for selecting the ''SUPER MARIO''™ Game Card for Nintendo DS™ systems," instead of the full name.<ref>{{cite|url=cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_SuperMario64DS_EN.pdf|title=''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet|format=PDF|page=2|language=en-gb|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo of Europe}}</ref>
*Page 23 of the game's instruction booklet shows a screenshot of Mario on Star 3 in the Bob-omb Battlefield. The Silver Stars on the Touch Screen appear to be actual Power Stars.<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet|page=23|date=2004|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>

==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Super Mario 64 DS pre-release and unused content}}
[[File:Ss sm64x4 pre03.jpg|thumb|A pre-release version of the Bob-omb Battlefield]]
The game was initially announced as ''Super Mario 64 × 4''. This iteration featured co-op multiplayer, different graphics, and slightly different level layouts among other things from its final release. At {{wp|E3}} 2004, a build of the game was available to play. In single-player mode, the player could switch between the four playable characters using the Touch Screen. Wario also had long sleeves as opposed to his current short sleeve design.

A fully functional red [[Koopa Troopa]] enemy is present in the game's code and can be accessed with an Action Replay code. Similar to Bullies, red Koopa Troopas attempt to ram into the player character. When they are knocked out of their [[shell]]s, they slowly walk back to them. If the player hits a [[Red Shell]], it slides along the ground and defeats enemies in its path. Once it collides with a wall, it breaks. If Yoshi eats a red Koopa Troopa, he can spew fire like in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

|8.9/10
|"''At the very least, you can depend on at least one game in the system's launch line-up to bring hours, days, and weeks of great fun on the new hardware, even if it may not exactly be the system seller people are expecting out of the Nintendo DS' launch window. While I would have loved to experience a brand new Super Mario game that incorporated and integrated the system's capabilities, it's at least great to experience a well-produced and expanded version of a tried-and-true formula.''"

|8.4/10
|"''All things considered, Super Mario 64 DS is a great update of a classic game. While some portions of the game have aged better than others, and while the control could've been a little tighter, the game is done right enough to make it a faithful update for fans of the original; new players will certainly find a lot to like here, as well. This is clearly and deservedly the flagship game for the Nintendo DS launch.''"

|Kristan Reed, [https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_supermario64ds_ds Eurogamer]
|9/10
|"''On the whole, in this reviewer's estimation, the DS more than lives up to expectations. If anything, there was little excitement about it in this corner of the EG camp in the run-up to release, and although it'll be interesting to see whether the presence of a second screen will make any real difference, it's the touch-screen gaming that has really made the difference - although it's telling to note that so far it's only been genuinely useful in games actually designed around this input, as opposed to shoehorned into accommodating it as with the main portion of SM64DS. You've got to hand it to Nintendo, though; it's moved the gaming goalposts again. Or rather it lets the players do it themselves this time.''"

|7.5/10
|"''So what we ultimately have in Mario 64 DS is a poorly-conceived port of an otherwise good game. It pains me as a Mario fan to hand out a less-than-superlative score to any version of such a classic, but the simple fact is that all of Mario 64 DS's new additions can't overcome its problems. If I want to play Mario 64 again, I'll do it on the system it was designed for (and at about a tenth of the cost of a new DS). In the meantime, I'll hold out hope that the mysterious New Super Mario Bros. title teased at E3 is the game that Mario 64 DS should have been.''"

===Sales===
Following its release in Japan, ''Super Mario 64 DS'' sold over 241,000 copies in December 2004. ''Super Mario 64 DS'' is the 10th best-selling game for the Nintendo DS, having sold 11.06 million copies worldwide.

==Staff==
{{main|List of Super Mario 64 DS staff}}
The game was produced by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], who also served as the supervising director, and directed by Shinichi Ikematsu. The main system programmer was Toshio Iwawaki; the other system programmers were Kenzo Hayakawa, Yuichi Yamamoto, Kenji Matsutani, and Hiroshi Umemiya.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Super Mario 64 DS glitches}}
===Amp disappearance glitch===
[[File:SM64 DS Amp Glitch.png|thumb|The glitch in action]]
With one wedge of health, if the player touches an [[Amp]], when they fall down, one-third of their body will be clipped into the ground, and as [[Bowser]]'s face appears, they will disappear.

===Falling Pillar glitch===
Sometimes, when the player [[Long Jump|long-jumps]] under a falling pillar in [[Jolly Roger Bay]], the pillar is destroyed, and the player stays crushed until they lose a life. This only occurs in Version 2 of the game.

===Fence flying===
In [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], the player should enter the first cannon by a Goomba, a Brick, and a tree. Then, they should aim so that the tip of the bottom arrow aligns with the tip of the bottom of the floating island. Once the cannon fires, he moves back and forth at the fence, passes through the fence at a certain angle, and ends up on top of the mountain instantly.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw-3Y8FcjMY|title=''Super Mario 64 DS'' Weird Glitch|author=ArconisNova|publisher=YouTube|date=June 17, 2014|language=en|accessdate=May 30, 2024}}</ref>

===Hatless Power Flower abilities===
In [[Tall, Tall Mountain]], the player should grab the cap of anyone except their character. With the cap on, they should go grab the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] atop the mountain and then get [[Ukiki|Ukkiki]] while the Power Flower is still in effect. They should wait for it to wear off, and while they are flashing back to normal, they should hop into the water, transforming back to normal by the time they reach it. When in the water, the player should head back on land via the waterfall (if they go on land normally, Ukkiki will give his dialogue, causing the character to return to normal). When they climb the waterfall slightly, they can return to land. The player should then get to the top of the mountain via Hoot and get the Power Flower. Depending on which cap they grab, the following effects will happen:

*[[Luigi]]: His body will be invisible, but his head will remain the same.
*[[Mario]]: Everything will be normal, but he will have wings growing out of his head.
*[[Wario]]: The game will freeze the instant the Power Flower is touched. It can also be used to find the debug screen.

==Notes==
*The original European version of ''Super Mario 64 DS'' received a PEGI 3+ rating. However, due to content regulations in Europe growing stricter over the years, the European Virtual Console rerelease instead received a PEGI 12+ rating because of the gambling in Luigi's mini-games. This also applies to ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
