Super Mario 64 DS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:48, June 14, 2017

This article is about the released remake of Super Mario 64. For the canceled Nintendo 64DD sequel, see Super Mario 64 2.

Template:Infobox Super Mario 64 DS (originally known as Super Mario 64 × 4 in development^[1]) is a 2004 game from the Super Mario series made for the handheld game system Nintendo DS. It was also the first Mario game to be released on the Nintendo DS and is also the first 3D Mario game for a handheld console. The game is an enhanced remake of the 1996 game Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay and graphics. 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 also join the adventure in order to rescue Princess Peach from the hands of Bowser. Other new features within the game include a wireless multi-player 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 version except for the single-player training; minigames to play with each character; and new additions to the story mode such as new courses, missions, and bosses.

Plot

General

Super Mario 64 (left) compared to its remake.

Princess Peach writes a letter to Mario, telling him to come to 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 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 realizes that the others haven't returned yet and instructs 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 in his mouth. After grabbing the rabbit, the rabbit gives up the key to Yoshi. When Yoshi finally enters 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 tells Yoshi that Bowser and his army have kidnapped Princess Peach and stolen the Power Stars. He also says 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 in the process, and the four continue to collect the Power Stars in order to save Princess Peach from Bowser.

There are three alternate endings for Super Mario 64 DS. The first involves the player not rescuing Wario. During the ending, Mario only lands 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. The third cutscene features Mario, Wario, and Yoshi, with a lack of Luigi, due to the mirror glitch. 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 head will not be seen in the ending.

Peach's message to Mario. It reads, "Dear Mario:
Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you.
Yours truly--
Princess Toadstool
Peach"

From the instruction booklet

"Please come to the castle. I’ve baked a cake for you."

At the invitation of Princess Peach, Mario, accompanied by party crashers Luigi and Wario, enter the Mushroom Castle.

But when the three don’t come out of the castle for a long time, Yoshi decides to check up on them.

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!

Now it’s up to Yoshi to rescue Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Wario from the castle’s paintings and walls!

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 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 is ; punching, kicking, and sticking out Yoshi's tongue is ; and dashing is . The button is used for crouching, while handles the camera together with the Control Pad. Additionally, if the player presses and holds and presses , the player will wall kick (if playing as Mario). Compared to Super Mario 64, where Mario was moving as fast as the player tilted the of the Nintendo 64 controller, the characters in Super Mario 64 DS move much more slowly when the running button is not pressed.
In Touch Mode, the character is controlled by having the player move their thumb or the stylus across the touch screen. By using the thumb or stylus, the character's speed and direction can be adjusted by the player 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 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 and buttons are not used.

On the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, however, the makes for a more authentic feel of using the Control Stick, making for better and easier controls. However, the player will still need to press to run and can still only move in eight different directions.

Character Selection

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.

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 with the same character once more. There are four doors in total. However, only the white door is not a playable character and instead contains a secret Power Star which can be unlocked if player is able to catch the 8 Glowing Rabbits. Once the Power Star is obtained, the player can re-enter the door, but there will be no effect (Boos will be heard), and the player character will simply exit it and groan.

Characters

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 their 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 doesn't account for differences in physics that affect the stats. Luigi, for example, while having a higher top running speed than Mario, has a lower acceleration (making him worse in some timed segments). Additionally, each character has different air speeds; Mario's jump is lower than Yoshi's and Luigi's, but he moves farther forward than Yoshi, while tied with Luigi.

Name	Description	How to Unlock	Stats
Yoshi File:Yoshi SM64DS.png	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 his minions. He has decent speed at both running and swimming and is very good at jumping, being able to flutter kick to reach higher places, that the others cannot reach. However, he cannot punch nor kick (unless he uses a Mushroom), slide-attack, consequently cannot grab large objects and enemies, and his ground pound isn't strong enough to break any Brick Blocks or defeat Boos; instead, he can swallow small enemies and turn them into throwable eggs, making him the only character with a projectile attack. He is also the tallest character in height.	Default	Power	0/3
			Speed (run)	2/3
			Speed (swim)	2/3
			Jump	3/3
Mario File:Mariogood.PNG	Mario is trapped behind a door by Goomboss and is necessary to free. Using Yoshi, from the starting point in the castle, the player should go up the stairs and to the right door. The player should go straight to the next door, go through the 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 M Key. 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. He is the shortest in height, but as the most balanced of the four playable characters, and medium of all stats, Mario plays very much the same way as he did in the original Super Mario 64, with good all-round capabilities, except on speed at running. Only he can perform the Wall Jump. He is a required, main character to complete the game since he is the only character that can enter the final level.	Defeat Goomboss in Goomboss Battle as Yoshi.	Power	2/3

			Speed (swim)	2/3
			Jump	2/3
Luigi	Mario's younger twin brother Luigi is optional to find, but is required to obtain some Power Stars, as well as Wario is. The player has to jump into a painting on the top floor of the level Big Boo's Haunt with Mario. There, Mario must go through the door where he hears King Boo's laugh, although some of the doors lead to nowhere. When Mario reaches the end, he has to fight King Boo himself with any attack for the L Key, which is used to open the door to obtain Luigi. Luigi has the same power as Mario, except he moves a bit slower when carrying objects and enemies, but he has the best speed stats and jumping capabilities of the four. He can scuttle jump to briefly slow down on his descents, slowly hovers down from a somersault, rather than a normal backflip, and he can even run on water briefly, due to his light body, and is the fastest at swimming. Luigi's height is similar to Wario's.	Defeat King Boo in Big Boo Battle as Mario.	Power	1/3
			Speed (run)	2/3
			Speed (swim)	3/3
			Jump	3/3
Wario File:WarioGoodQual.PNG	Like Luigi, Wario is optional to find, but is needed to grab stars that 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 are two Power Flowers, 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 by pushing him into the ice water thrice for the 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, smash through Black Bricks, including other heavy objects. He can also send enemies flying with a single blow. In VS Mode, Wario has the unique ability to pick up stunned opponents, spin, and throw them, just like how the player battles Bowser. He can also ground pound objects twice the strength of others. Wario's height is tied with Luigi's.	Defeat Chief Chilly in Chief Chilly Challenge as Luigi.	Power	3/3

The Three Caps

File:FlatHats.png

The essential headwear.

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 power-ups, but will keep his original voice. The caps are usually found on the heads of Goombas, Boos, or Dorrie, on land, underwater, or on any other different enemy.

When hit by an enemy, the cap topples off and the character needs to retrieve it in a limited time. When the cap disappears, it reappears on a different, set, random location in the course. If Mario, Luigi, or Wario lose their original caps, they cannot pick up any other characters' caps or use Power Flowers until they retrieve their 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. Yoshi is the only character that can use all three caps.

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

The three different coins

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 more than 50 coins. The highest number of coins that the player can collect is 255. They can be found on land, in the sea, on enemies, etc. They also refill the player's health.

Types:

Yellow Coins – worth 1 and are found in most enemies.
Red Coins – worth 2 and have to be collected in the quantity of 8 for one episode in each world and some secret courses for a Power Star to appear.
Blue Coins – worth 5 and are often temporary, found in tougher enemies, on slides or invisible until the player hits a Blue Coin Switch.

Power Flower Powers

File:Power Flower.PNG

A Power Flower.

Each of the four characters has a special power from the 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 "Wings" (a white feather) to transform him into Wing Mario. Once he has taken the flower, a hero uses his new powers for a short time (about 20 seconds). Notwithstanding, Mario's wing form can last a bit longer, about one minute. If the player hits the box without their cap on, a Bob-omb comes out instead. 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.

Image	Name	Description
	Fire Power	Yoshi's fiery breath has the ability to melt ice and roast enemies with fire blasts. Players use to make Yoshi breathe the fire, which temporarily replaces his lick attack. Yoshi is given a time limit which 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. However, this will only give Yoshi one fire breath before the ability is canceled by itself in a short amount of time.
	Balloon Power	Balloon Mario has the ability to float in a puffed out formation of the stomach to reach high-up places. The player must press 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 during flight. The effect will wear off by itself after a short amount of time.
	Invisibility Power	In this form, Luigi has the ability to become invisible and is able to pass through almost any solid matter, except ice. The player can control Luigi as normal. Vanish Luigi is not immune to lava, quick sand and drowning. The ability will wear off within a short amount of time. He cannot get hurt by enemies, like Metal Wario.
File:SM64DS-Metal Wario.PNG	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 to it will defeat it and will not hurt Metal Wario. He also sinks and when submerged in water, he can walk on seabeds. However, Metal Wario will sink fairly quicker than normal in quicksand and lava. Normal controls are used in this form. The ability will wear off after a short amount of time.

Rabbits

Main article: Rabbit

In addition, each character has 36 rabbits to catch. The rabbits will give up keys to unlock minigames drawers in the Rec Room. Each character catches seven rabbits. Wario catches orange, Luigi catches green, Mario catches pink, and Yoshi catches yellow, for a total of 28 rabbits. Since Yoshi has one key to open up the castle, there are eight yellow rabbits, instead of the regular seven. To make the rabbits appear, the player must talk to Toad in the Rec Room.

Rabbit Locations

The following table displays information pertaining to the whereabouts of each rabbit, which minigame its related key unlocks, and the amount of Power Stars that are required to make the rabbits appear. For more information regarding the minigames unlocked, view the section about the Rec Room.

However, in the castle, there will be eight/nine Glowing Rabbits that will be randomly placed where a regular rabbit that has been caught used to be.

Keys

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

The keys to unlock the M, L, and W doors.

Upon catching all of the eight Glowing Rabbits, 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 finds a Power Star. However, if the character comes back after taking it, Boo 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.

Courses and Missions

The following table displays information regarding each course, the Power Stars found within each course, how to get the stars, and what character is required to obtain the Power Stars. As stated above, 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 the player receives a star and re-does the mission again, the Power Star will appear as blue and will not count.

List of changes from the original

Though Super Mario 64 DS is a clear remake of the Nintendo 64 game Super Mario 64, there are some elements that were components added in the game that the original game did not have, as well as elements only seen in the first rendition which were taken out in its remake.

Luigi, Yoshi and Wario are now playable. Only Mario was playable in the original, while Yoshi makes an unplayable cameo appearance on the 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, 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.
Utilizing the stylus and touch screen, the player can now draw and stretch the characters which appear on the title screen.
Princess Peach wears her hair up in her appearances instead of wearing her hair down. This is based on how she appeared in Super Mario Sunshine which was the debut appearance of her ponytail hairstyle.
In the remake, coins are octagonal, but in the original, they are circular. Additionally, they are 3D objects in the remake, while they were 2D animated sprites in the original game.
In the original, Boos have blue eyes, but they have black eyes in the remake.
When the player first enters Big Boo's Haunt in the original, they are greeted with, "Come on in here... ...heh, heh, heh..." They are not greeted in the remake.
In the original game, Mario (the only character capable of wall jumping in both the original game and the remake) cannot slide down walls. He is able to do so in the remake, making Wall Jumping much easier to perform than in the original.
When King Bob-omb is thrown off the cliff in the original game, he says "it's against the royal rules", but he just says "it's against the rules" in the the remake.
Mario is able to float, Luigi can become invisible, Wario can become a metal version of himself and Yoshi can breathe fire out of his mouth when anyone collects a Power Flower. Mario can also fly by collecting a feather. In the original, Mario was able to collect different caps to use these various abilities (excluding the fire and balloon power-ups) such as the Wing Cap, the Vanish Cap and the Metal Cap.
There are red ? boxes and yellow ! boxes. In the original, there were also blue and green boxes and all had "!"s on them. The red and yellow boxes also had "!"s on them in the original.
There are eight Power Stars in each world. In the original, there are only seven Power Stars in each world.
There are 36 rabbits to catch. In the original, there is only one rabbit which is caught twice in the basement.
When the Big Boos are hit in the original, they make the same sound as the Thwomp, but they do not do it in the remake.
There are 150 stars in the whole game. There were 120 in the original.
In the original, Thwomps are blue and cube-shaped, while in the remake, they are green, spiked and rectangular prism-shaped. Despite this, the player can still stand on top of them.
Wario, Luigi and Yoshi figures appear on the cake at the end, along with those of Mario and Peach (with Wario and Luigi only appearing if the player has unlocked them). Only Mario and Peach are seen in the original game.
Wario is now able to pick up signs and throw them like any other 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 can't pick up signs, but can ground-pound them twice.^[2]
After collecting all Stars, the player may be shot out of a cannon to the top of Princess Peach's Castle. Three 1-Up Mushrooms can be found there, as well as one of Luigi's Rabbits. Also present on the roof is a red ! Box, which gives the player a feather for Mario and a Power Flower for Luigi, Wario and Yoshi. In the original game, Mario will find Yoshi on the Roof. He will award the player with 100 lives, a new animation for his Triple Jump, and jump into the waterfall.
Several enemies and objects have updated designs from the original version. For instance, Boss Bass has its pre-N64 design and Kuromame resemble Fire Chomps.
The Mushroom power-up was added, mainly found in bricks, and caused the player to grow to an enormous size (and gave Yoshi punching abilities). Within a time limit, one can defeat virtually every enemy, something that couldn't be done in Super Mario 64. After destroying the first seven, the player receives an extra life for anything else they destroy. A 90s Got Milk commercial shows footage from Super Mario 64 featuring a giant Mario, but it was impossible in the original version.
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.
Yoshi appears on the title screen if the player returns to it without turning the game off, or if the player touches the Yoshi icon.
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 (depending on the settings). However, the Circle Pad on the Nintendo 3DS somewhat simulates the classic analog stick.
On the title screen, Mario 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.
The L and X buttons on the Nintendo DS control the camera. In the original, the C buttons on the Nintendo 64 control the camera.
Rabbits, when caught by the player, can unlock minigames in the Rec Room. In the original, a rabbit provided hints and/or a Star.
The door on the top right corner of the lobby only contains two Peach murals (one still leading to The Princess' 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 Secret Slide).
Silver Stars were added in the remake. During Silver Star missions, the player must collect five Silver Stars to make a Power Star appear.
Whenever Hoot gives his speech, he isn't frozen and still flaps his wings. Additional music is played slower and is similar to the Wing Mario music. When the player flies with Hoot, he flaps slower than the original. In the original, Hoot is frozen when he gives his speech and his wings flap faster.
King Bob-omb of Bob-omb Battlefield is obsessed with his mustache. In the original, he is not shown to have any particular interests.
Mr. Blizzards have zig-zag mouths and wear buckets like hats, while in the original they have circular mouths and wear nothing on their head. They also died by spinning (similar to Mr I.) instead of falling on their side.
In the original, a glitch can cause Mario to backwards Long Jump. In the remake, backwards long jumping is possible, but will not have the same effect as in the original.
The player is given three save files to play on. In the original, the player was given four.
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 looks unhappy.
When a pipe appears at the start of a new game, Mario pauses before saying "Ha Ha!". In the original, he immediately says "Ha Ha!" after saying "Yahoo!".
Mario couldn't destroy things that Wario could do in this game. He and the other characters also cannot even do it in this game.
Some Bricks are reddish orange which any character but Yoshi can destroy, while the others are black. Black Bricks can only be broken by Wario. In the original, all crates are brown and have cracks in them.
Star Switches are seen in this game. They make a Power Star appear for a limited time in a Star Sphere.
After collecting a 1-Up Mushroom, the words "1-UP" appear in orange text. In the original, no on-screen icon appears.
Klepto appears in three different levels, while in the original he only appears in the level Shifting Sand Land.
The Toxic Gas in Hazy Maze Cave is purple; it is green (or yellow) in the original. The toxic gas also pushes the player back a little in the remake, but not in the original.
The interior of the igloo in Snowman's Land has been entirely changed in the DS version.
In the remake, when Bowser is defeated, he says, "Keep that Touch Screen smokin'." In the original, he says, "Keep that Control Stick smokin'."
Two Power Flowers appear in the mirror room of Peach's 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.
There is one ? Switch found in the course Tower of the Wing Cap. In the original, there was an ! Switch instead. Two other ! Switches are also seen in the original; one in the moat of Peach's Castle and the other in Hazy Maze Cave.
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.
The penguins in Cool, Cool Mountain have slightly different crying sounds than in the original.
When entering Rainbow Ride, the sound effect for entering a mini-course plays; in the original, it plays the sound effect for entering any other main course.
Unlike the remake, in the original game, two Toads accompanied Princess Peach.
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 other three characters.
In the original game, when Mario throws Bowser, he says "So-long-a-Bowser". He does not say that in this version.

Notable mistakes and errors

When the player puts on the Mario cap for the first time, the game states that the player must press to do a wall jump. This is incorrect, as the player must press to wall jump.
Despite the instruction booklet giving Yoshi's jumps a 3-star rating, his long jumps and triple jumps do not go as high and far as Mario and Luigi's do.
King Boo is mistakenly referred to as Big Boo.
The 50 Star by the third floor has the carpet texture sound instead of the normal floor texture sound.
The instruction booklet is written in a vertical format and has a mistake where Mario and Luigi's speed are similar to the rest of the characters, except Wario. In fact, Mario and Luigi are the fastest in running and swimming.
Even if the player has collected the Star, a star that has been collected by Unagi the Eel, Klepto, or the caged star in Tall, Tall Mountain will show a star that hasn't 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 will still be on Mario. Mario will even have his cap on until he leaves by any method.
Even if Yoshi's mouth is full, he can still make sounds.
Page 23 of the game's instruction manual shows a screenshot of Mario on Star 3 in Bob-omb Battlefield. The Silver Stars on the Touch Screen are mistaken for actual Power Stars.^[3]

Glitches

Main article: List of Super Mario 64 DS glitches

Falling Pillar glitch

Sometimes, when the player long jumps under a falling pillar in Jolly Roger Bay, the pillar will be destroyed, and the player stay squished until the player loses a life. Note that this only works in Version 2 of the game.

Hatless Power Flower Abilities

The player should enter Tall Tall Mountain as Mario, Luigi, or Wario. Mario, Luigi, or Wario should obtain the Power Flower (or the Wing Cap in Mario's case) atop the mountain, and then grab Ukiki, while the Power Flower is still in effect. He should wait for it to wear off and, while he is flashing back to normal, he should hop into the water, but should be back to normal by the time he hits it. When in the water, Mario, Luigi, or Wario should head back on land via the waterfall (if he goes on land normally, Ukiki will give his speech, causing Mario, Luigi, or Wario to return to normal). When he has climbed the waterfall slightly, then he can get on land. Mario, Luigi, or Wario can then go to the top of the mountain via the owl and obtain the Power Flower. Depending on which cap he has, 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.

Clipping Glitch on Bob-omb Battlefield

This glitch can be performed with any character (although Mario should not have wings). First, to perform this glitch, the character would have to go to Bob-omb Battlefield. Once he is on the mountain trail, he should enter the first cannon by a Goomba, a Brick, and a tree. Then, the character should aim so that the tip of the bottom arrow aligns with the tip of the bottom of the floating island. Then once the character fires, he makes a glitchy movement going back and forth and then passes through the fence at a certain angle and will end up on top of the mountain instantly.^[5]

Quotes

Main article: List of quotes in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS

Boo

(caught by Yoshi) "You...can't...EAT...ghosts! Eee hee hee!"

King Boo

(to Wario) "Eee hee hee...I am Big Boo, the scariest of the spirits. Eek! What's this?! Your face...It would even scare a ghost. How horrible! You've got it backwards...I do the scaring around here! All right, now I'll put some real fear in that frightening face of yours! Eee hee hee!"
(defeated) "Augh! The scariest one wins, and your face is flesh-creepingly frightening. Good thing I don't have any flesh! Eee hee hee! This is not the end. See you again."

Lakitu

(to Yoshi) "Yoshi...Yoshi... (wakes Yoshi) Listen... Mario hasn't returned yet..."

Regional differences

The title screen of the Korean release, which doesn't have "Rec Room".

The minigames, and by extension the rabbits that have the keys to unlock extra minigames, are removed in the Korean version, possibly due to Luigi's minigames taking place in a casino.^[6]
The Japanese and Korean version colors the word "Super" in many colors rather than just one color, making it look a lot like the original game's title screen.
There is an orange ! Block along the red ? Block on the roof of Peach's Castle in the Korean version, rather than only the ? Block in the other releases. This ! Block gives the heroes to an extra life: the block doesn't disappear, so that they can easily earn up to 100 lives.^[7]

Trivia

The artwork of the castle on the box art is different from the design in-game. The design on the box art is actually based off the castle that appears in Mario Circuit from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. This also applies to the Power Star seen on the box art.
In all regions, the painting for Jolly Roger Bay is from the original Japanese Nintendo 64 release, even though it was also changed in the Shindou edition.
In the title screen, if the player taps Mario or Yoshi's face, a drawing of Mario or Yoshi (respectively) appears. The third time the player taps Mario's face, a Luigi drawing will appear instead.
This is the first and presently only game in the main Super Mario series where Wario appears and is playable, and it is also one of the two main Super Mario games where Yoshi is playable, but isn't ridden or controlled by any of the other characters. The other is Super Mario Run.
The UK version of the game's manual mistakenly reads, "Thank you for selecting the SUPER MARIO™ Game Card for Nintendo DS™ systems." instead of the full name.^[11]
