'''''Super Mario 64 DS''''' (originally known as '''''Super Mario 64 × 4''''' during development<ref>http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/22/super-mario-64-x-4-ds-beta/</ref>) is a [[List of games by date#2004|2004]] game from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series made for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It was the first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' game to be released for the Nintendo DS and also the first 3D ''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 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]]. ''Super Mario 64 DS'' is the first and currently the only game of the ''Super Mario'' series where Wario is playable. It is also one of the two games where Yoshi is playable, but is neither ridden nor controlled by any of the other characters, the other being ''[[Super Mario Run]]''.

Other new features within the game include a wireless multiplayer 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]]s to play with each character, and new additions to the story mode, such as new courses, missions, and bosses.

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 [[Koopa Troop|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 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!"'' [[Toad]] informs Yoshi that Bowser and his army have kidnapped Princess 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 Princess Peach from Bowser.

 

There are alternate endings for ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The first involves the player not rescuing Wario. During the ending, Mario lands only with Yoshi and Luigi. From then on, the cutscene continues, as does the good ending, without the attendance of Wario. In the second alternate cutscene, the player will have to not save Luigi, which ultimately leaves Wario to be left behind too. In this ending, Mario lands only with Yoshi and then the cutscene proceeds, lacking the other two heroes. 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 will not appear as if it was drained. Also, if the player does not finish [[Snowman's Lost His Head]] in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]], then the snowman's body will not be seen in the ending.

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

 

Making use of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s features, the player is offered three different ways to control the character. All three modes are always accessible by pressing the Select button.

 

*In Standard Mode, the chosen character is controlled with the Control Pad. The stylus can also be used in Standard Mode. [[Jump]]ing is {{button|ds|B}}; [[punch]]ing, [[kick]]ing, and sticking out Yoshi's tongue is {{button|ds|A}}; and [[dash]]ing is {{button|ds|Y}}. 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 presses {{button|ds|B}} while sliding down a wall, the player will [[Wall Jump|wall kick]] (if playing as Mario). Compared to in ''Super Mario 64'', where Mario was moving as fast as the player tilted the {{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 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, the {{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 will still need to press {{button|ds|Y}} to run and the game will still only register 8 different inputs, not the full range of a circle.

 

To switch between characters, there are three doors, each symbolizing the character's first letter of his name. To use them, the player must go through the door, and the corresponding character will come out of the door. Re entering the door of the character currently selected will switch the player back to playing as Yoshi. There are four doors in total. However, the white door is not a playable character and 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 will be heard), and the player's character will simply exit it and groan.

In order to fully complete the game, the player needs to find three unlockable characters, who were trapped behind the doors by [[Bowser]]. The following table below shows how good each character attributes in a certain statistic. Each has his own special abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. The instruction booklet shows each character's stats and indicates their abilities with stars. However, it omits the rating for swimming 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), and also moves farther forward, tied with Luigi.

 

|rowspan=3 |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 [[enemies|his minions]]. He 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, being able to [[Flutter Jump|flutter-kick]] by holding {{button|ds|B}} to reach higher places that the others cannot reach. However, he cannot punch or kick (unless he uses a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]), or grab large objects and enemies. His [[Ground Pound]] also is not strong enough to break any [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]]s or defeat Boos. Instead of normal attacks, he has the ability to [[swallow]] most enemies by using {{button|ds|A}} and either spit them back out or turn them into [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] with {{button|ds|R}} that he can throw, making him the only character with a projectile attack. Yoshi can have only one egg at a time. His thrown eggs will 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 the [[Bully]], 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 [[Ice Block|Ice]] and damage enemies. Yoshi is also the tallest character.

|rowspan=3 |Mario is trapped behind a door by [[Goomboss]] and is required to complete the game without the use of glitches, 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 and to the right 1 star door. The player should go straight to the next door, go through the [[Goomboss Battle|8-Star door, and hop into the Mario painting]]. The player has to locate Goomboss by jumping into a hollowed 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 the [[Mario Key|M Key]]. Then the player has to go back to the room with the stained glass windows with Peach on them and unlock the "M" 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, and is tied with Luigi for the highest jump height, making him preferred on certain timed segments. Mario is the only character that can perform the [[Wall Jump|wall jump]]. 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 "Wings," turning him into [[Wing Mario]], which also allows him to reach greater heights by flying.

|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 the course [[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 for the [[Luigi Key|L Key]], which is used to open the door to obtain Luigi. Luigi is slightly weaker than Mario; his 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 or [[Double Jump (consecutive)|double]], he can [[scuttle]] (which is similar to Yoshi's Flutter Jump) to briefly slow down his descents. After performing a backflip, he will spin as if he jumped on a [[Fly Guy]] and descend slowly. Luigi can also briefly run on water, which is especially useful after a charged dash. Luigi is about as tall as Wario. His 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 surfaces walls for a short time.

|'''Power''' || ★☆☆

|'''Speed''' || ★★☆

|'''Jump''' || ★★★

|rowspan=3 |Like Luigi, Wario is optional to find, but is needed to obtain Power Stars that the others cannot retrieve. Once the large 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 ice water three times for the [[Wario Key|W Key]], which is used to open the door to find Wario. He has the worst speed stats and jumping capabilities of the four, but he is by far the heaviest and strongest, being able to move faster when carrying objects and enemies and to smash through [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]]s and other heavy objects. His strength allows Wario's punches to deal double damage to [[Eyerok]], killing each hand in only two hits, instead of 3. In VS Mode, Wario has the unique ability to pick up stunned opponents, spin them, and throw them, in a similar fashion to throwing Bowser. He can also ground-pound objects with twice the strength of the other characters. Wario's height is about the same as Luigi's. His Power Flower ability is [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Wario]], which functions identically to how it did in the original game. This form gives Wario invulnerability to enemy attacks, lava, and icy water, as well as the ability to walk underwater. Wario will still take falling damage, however.

|'''Power''' || ★★★

|'''Jump''' || ★☆☆

In the painting worlds and some secret courses, the caps 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]] power-ups, but will keep his original voice. The caps are usually found on the heads of [[Goomba]]s, [[Boo]]s, 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. They 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 will put it on after entering the course.

Coins can be collected by each character. In each course, there are a little over 100 coins, and collecting 100 gives the player 15 extra Stars for the 15 courses. The player gets an [[extra life]] if they get at least 50 coins. 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|health]] by 1 point for each coin collected.

Types:

*[[Coin|Yellow Coins]] – worth one and are found in most enemies.

*[[Red Coin]]s – worth two and have to be collected in the quantity of eight for one mission in each world and some secret courses for a Power Star to appear.

*[[Blue Coin]]s – worth five and are often temporary, found in tougher enemies, found on slides, or invisible until the player hits a [[Blue Coin Block|blue Switch]].

Each of the four characters has a special power from the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] found inside a [[? Block]], replacing the three caps from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Only Mario can get something other than a Power Flower from the ? Block, which is the "[[Wing Cap|Wings]]" (a white feather) to transform him into [[Wing Mario]] for 60 seconds. Once he has taken [[Power Flower|the flower]], a hero uses his new powers for a short time. If the player hits the box without their cap on, a [[Bob-omb]] comes out instead. In some ? Blocks (such as the ones in Whomp's Fortress and Snowman's Land), a Bob-omb will always be spawned if broken by a certain character, even with the cap. Additionally, Luigi's and Wario's powers last shorter compared to Mario's equivalent forms in ''Super Mario 64''. Except the fire and floating abilities, Mario now shares his moves with the other three characters.

!Description

|align="center" |[[Fire Power (Yoshi)|Fire Power]]

|Yoshi's fiery breath has the ability to melt ice and roast enemies with fire blasts. Players use {{button|ds|A}} to make Yoshi breathe the fire, which temporarily replaces his lick attack. Yoshi is given a time limit that restricts the time given to breathe fire. This ability can also be reached with a bonfire found in the two snowy courses: [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]], or by swallowing certain enemies such as [[Fly Guy]]. This will only allow Yoshi to spit fire a single time, though the fire can be held indefinitely.

|align="center" |[[Balloon Mario|Balloon Power]]

|Balloon Mario has the ability to float in a puffed-out formation of the stomach to reach high-up places like a [[Power Balloon]]. The player must press {{button|ds|B}} to rise, while moving in a horizontal direction with the D-Pad. Mario will begin to descend when no buttons are pressed. The ability will cancel if the player presses {{button|ds|R}} during flight. The effect will wear off by itself after a short amount of time.

|align="center" |[[Vanish Mario|Invisibility Power]]

|In this form, Luigi has the ability to become invisible and is able to pass through certain walls, such as grates and paintings. The player can control Luigi as normal. Vanish Luigi is not immune to lava, quicksand, or drowning. The ability will wear off within a short amount of time. He cannot get hurt by enemies, like Metal Wario, but unlike Metal Wario, will simply pass through them, instead of damaging the enemy.

|align="center" |[[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Power]]

|This form gives Wario the ability to become heavy metal, which gives him more power and invincibility. Merely touching an enemy or walking into it will defeat it and will not hurt Metal Wario. He also sinks, and when submerged in water, he can walk on seabeds. Normal controls are used in this form. The ability will wear off after a short amount of time.  

In addition, there are many rabbits to catch. They replace [[MIPS]] from the original game and are named "MIP" internally. The rabbits will give up keys to unlock minigame drawers in the Rec Room when caught. Seven rabbits will spawn around the castle as each character, and any rabbits not meant for a certain character will 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 [[Toad|Toad in the Rec Room]]. Upon talking to [[Lakitu]] at the start of the game, an extra yellow rabbit will spawn near the hedge maze, which provides the key to the front door of the castle. Though intended to be caught as Yoshi, if unlocking the front door is avoided using glitches, the rabbit will still spawn when accessed as any other character, despite appearing yellow. Once caught, this rabbit will never respawn and can never be a glowing rabbit.

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

To unlock the white door within the character selection room, the player must catch 8 glowing rabbits. Once the player has collected at least 40 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 81 stars have been collected. Upon catching a glowing rabbit, the player will be informed of how many glowing rabbits are left to be caught, or on the final rabbit, will be given the key to the white door. Once the key to the white room has been collected, rabbits will no longer have any chance to be glowing.

Upon catching all of the eight glowing rabbits, the player receives a key that opens the white room in the character-selection room. The first time to open it and enter, a character finds a Power Star. However, if the character comes back after taking it, Boos' laughs can be heard, and the hero comes out from 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 door.

After clearing the first two Bowser levels, the player receives keys to access the basement and second floor, respectively.

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 will transform 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.
