'''''Super Mario 64 DS''''' (originally called '''''Super Mario 64 x 4'''''<ref>http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/22/super-mario-64-x-4-ds-beta/</ref>) is a game from the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario'' series]] made for the handheld game system [[Nintendo DS]]. The game is a remake of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay and graphics. Unlike ''Super Mario 64'', [[Mario]] is not the only playable character; [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] also join the adventure in order to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from  the hands of [[Bowser]]. Other new features within include a multi-player mode, where up to four players can play simultaneously on each Nintendo DS connected together locally; [[mini-games]] to play on each hero, and new additions to the story mode such as new missions and levels.

==Story==
[[Image:SM64DS1.png|200px|thumb|left]]
[[Princess Peach|Peach]] writes a letter to Mario, which is apparently seen by both Luigi and Wario, who come in [[Warp Pipe]]s along with Mario to [[Peach's Castle]] to get some cake.This letter was, assumingly, a clever forgery from [[Bowser]], who guessed that Mario and his friends would come looking and so employed his minions to capture them beforehand. Although surprised to see the other two were there, Mario lets it go and the trio start to run up to the castle when Wario bumps into the two. Mario and Luigi stare at him while Wario just chuckles. The three stopped and raced into the castle, when [[Bowser]] assumingly ambushes them when they, according to [[Toad]], jumped into the [[Bob-omb Battlefield|Bob-omb painting]] to retrieve the [[Power Stars]] after Bowser had taken them and captured Princess Peach.
[[Image:SM64DS2.png|200px|thumb]]
Yoshi was asleep the entire time, only to be awakened by one of the [[Lakitu Bros.]]. He was seen on the roof (possibly a reference to ''Super Mario 64''), but somehow ended up in front of the castle when woken, probably carried there by the Lakitu who realized that the red, green, and yellow plumbers hadn't returned to the pipes to leave, and instructed Yoshi 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. After swallowing the rabbit, the rabbit gives up the key to Yoshi. When Yoshi finally enters, he hears Bowser's voice telling him "no one's home" and to "scram". Toad tells him Bowser has kidnapped Peach and stolen the Power Stars. He also says the last time he saw the plumbers is when they jumped into the Bob-omb painting. Yoshi decides to investigate.

After freeing the other three plumbers from their prisons, the quartet hunts for the rest of the stars. Some of them are hidden so well that Bowser does not even know about them. After collecting at least 80 stars, the player can finally fight Bowser for the final time. Mario ascends a staircase at the top of the castle to face Bowser for the final time. After making it through another one of Bowser's obstacle courses, Mario encounters Bowser and the two battle.

{{spoiler}}
Bowser ends up defeated, gives up and hands Mario the Giant Power Star before he explodes. When Mario grabs the final Power Star, wings suddenly appear on his cap allowing him to fly.

[[Image:SM64DS4.png|200px|thumb]]
[[Image:SM64DS5.png|200px|thumb|left]]
Finally, he lands in front of the castle where Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi are waiting for him. As his wings fade away, Mario uses the power of the Power Stars to make Peach appear in front of the castle. All four rush up to her as she wakes up. Thanking them, Peach kisses Mario and says they will make a cake for her heroes. Peach and the plumbers walk into the castle. Yoshi starts to do so himself, but then pauses and turns around to look at the [[player]]. Peach calls his name and Yoshi runs in after the four. The credits roll and the cake, with Peach, [[Mario]], Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi figures, is shown at the very end.

There are two 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 with Yoshi and then the cutscene proceeds lacking the two other heroes. For each alternate ending, a different cake is awarded featuring the characters that appeared in the ending as cake figures.

==Gameplay==
As in ''Super Mario 64'', the courses are accessed by the different paintings on the castle's walls, but in the ''DS'' game, the player can collect 150 power stars, 30 more than the original game.

===Controls===
Making use of the DS's features, the game offers three different types to control the character. All three modes are always accessible by pressing Select.

*In standard mode, they are controlled with the D-Pad. Jump is B, kicking is A and running is Y. The R button is used for crouching while L handles the camera together with the D-Pad. Compared to ''Super Mario 64'' where Mario was moving as fast as the player tilted the stick of the Nintendo 64 controller, the characters in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' move much slower when the running button is not pressed.
*In touch mode, the character is controlled by moving the stylus across the touch screen. By using the stylus, the character's speed can be individually adjusted by the player as it was possible with the Nintendo 64's analog stick. However, jumping, crouching and kicking are still executed with the buttons.
*In two hand mode, the character is controlled with the stylus, and jumping, kicking and crouching are done by moving the D-Pad into a direction.

===Character Selection=== 
[[Image:TheDoors.png|200px|thumb|The door with ''M'', ''L'', or ''W'' above it represents the room where the plumbers are trapped. After unlocking one, the player can swap characters.]]

To switch between characters, there are three doors each symbolizing the character's first letter of their name. To use them, the player must go through the door, and the corresponding character will come out of the door. Switching to ''Yoshi'' will mean reentering the door that complements the same character once more.

===Characters===
To have more of a chance beating the game, the player needs to unlock the three plumbers trapped by ''Bowser'':

*'''[[Yoshi]]''' - The first and default character of the game, Yoshi must free Mario, Luigi, and Wario from the clutches of Bowser and his minions. He can flutter kick to reach high places.
*'''[[Mario]]''' - Mario was captured by [[Goomboss]] and is necessary to free. Using Yoshi, from the starting point in the castle, go up the stairs and to the right door. Go straight to the next door, go through the 8 star door and hop into the Mario painting. The player has to fight Goomboss for the M Key by jumping into a hollowed tree stump at the highest point of the level. Then the player has to go back to room with the stained glass windows with Peach on them and unlock the M Room to free Mario.
*'''[[Luigi]]''' - Mario's younger brother Luigi is optional, but is required to obtain some Power Stars as well as Wario. The player has to go to the top floor of the level [[Big Boo's Haunt]] with Mario. This level is very tricky, as some doors lead back to the start. When the player reaches there, Mario has to fight [[King Boo]] for the L Key.
*'''[[Wario]]''' - Like Luigi, Wario is optional, but is needed to grab stars the others cannot retrieve. Once the large door right at the head of the stairs is unlocked, Luigi has to go inside, then get past another door leading to [[Snowman's Land]]. There's two [[Power Flower]]s, so the player has to use Luigi to go transparent into the mirror by the Snowman's Land wall, and he has to fight ''[[Chief Chilly]]'' for the W Key.

===The Plumbers' Caps===
[[Image:FlatHats.png|left|frame|150px|The essential headgear.]]
In the painting worlds, caps of all three plumbers can be found and are visible on the touch screen. When a hat cap is put on, the player's character will turn into the corresponding character who owns the cap. They will get all moves of the character who owns the cap including the [[Power Flower]] power-ups, but keep their original voice. They are usually found on the heads of [[Goomba]]s, on land, or underwater.

When hit by an enemy, the cap topples off and the character and will need to retrieve it in limited time. When the cap disappears, it reappears on a different random location in the course.

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.

*'''[[Mario's Cap]]''' - a Red cap that allows the player to turn into Mario.
*'''[[Luigi's Cap]]''' - a Green cap that allows the player to turn into Luigi.
*'''[[Wario's Cap]]''' - a Yellow cap that allows the player to turn into Wario.

===Coins===
[[Image:CoinsY,R,B.png|thumb|The three different coins]]
Coins can be accepted and collected by each character. In each course there are a little over 100 coins and collecting 100 will give the player 15 extra stars for the 15 courses. They can be found on land or in enemies.

Types:
*Yellow Coins - worth 1 and are found in most enemies
*Red Coins  - worth 2 and are to be collected in the quantity of 8 for one episode a world.
*Blue Coins - worth 5 and are often temporary, found in tougher enemies, on slide or invisible until Mario will hit Blue Coin Switch.

===[[Power Flower]] Powers===
Each of the four characters has a special power from the Power Flower found inside a [[? Block]]. Only Mario can get something other than this mighty flower from the ? Block, such as the [[feather]] to transform him into [[Wing Mario]]. Once taken the flower, the heroes use their new powers in a short time, that may last about 20 seconds. Notwithstanding, Mario's wing form can last a bit longer, about one minute. Additionally, Luigi's and Wario's powers last shorter compared to Mario's equivalent forms in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

===[[Rabbit|Rabbits]]===
Each character has a certain amount of rabbits to catch (they are color coded), plus the nine sparkled white ones. The Rabbits will give up keys to minigames drawers in the Rec Room. Each character catches 7 rabbits. Wario catches orange, Luigi catches green, Mario catches pink, and Yoshi catches yellow. Yoshi catches 8 because one key is for opening the castle.

However, in the castle there will be 9 shiny rabbits that will be randomly placed where a regular rabbit used to be. {{spoiler}} 
Upon collected all of them, the player receives a key that opens the white room in the character switch room. The first time to open it and enter, a character will find a power star. However if the character comes back after taken it, Boo laughs can be heard, and the hero comes out from the door, startled.

[[Image:BowserSM64DS.jpg|thumb|Mario fighting Bowser]]
Bowser has kidnapped Peach, and holds the keys to the next floors as in ''Super Mario 64''.

He can be beaten by swinging him into the spike balls once (three times for the final battle) to get a key and, in the last battle, the [[Giant Star|final star]].

== Trivia ==
*In this game, [[Thwomps]] are spiked like in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', but characters can still stand on them like in ''Super Mario 64''.
*The game was [[Super Mario 64 DS/Beta elements|originally]] going to be called ''Super Mario 64X4'', back when it still had multiplayer in story mode.
*The artwork of the castle on the box art is different from the design in-game. The design on the box art is really based of the castle that appears in [[Mario Circuit]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. This also applies to the star.
*In all regions, the painting for [[Jolly Roger Bay]] is from the original Japanese N64 release, even though it was also changed in the Rumble Pak version. Similarly, when Mario goes to sleep after idling for too long, he does not talk in his sleep, though this may be because it would have to be recorded for the three other characters.
*When the player puts on the Mario cap for the first time, the game states that the player must press A to do the [[Wall Jump|wall jump]]. This is incorrect, as the player needs to press B to wall jump.
*In Korean version of this game, there was no [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]], but it appeared later in the Korean version of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''.
*The caps were originally going to be contained in blocks.
