Super Mario 64 DS

Template:Infobox Super Mario 64 DS is a game from the 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 only the playable character; Yoshi, Luigi and Wario enjoy to 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

Peach writes a letter to Mario, which is apparently seen by both Luigi and Wario, who come in Warp Pipes along with Mario to Peach's Castle to get some cake. 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 painting to retrieve the Power Stars after Bowser had taken them and captured Princess Peach.

Yoshi was asleep the entire time, only to be awakened by one of the Lakitu Bros., (he was seen on the roof, 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 catching 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.

Template:Spoiler After freeing the other three plumbers from their prisions, 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. 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.

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. Template:Endspoiler For more information, see Super Mario 64 DS quotes.

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 handes 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

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 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. Than 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 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 for the W Key.

The Plumbers' Caps

File:FlatHats.png

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 Goombas, 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. Yoshi is the only character that can use all three caps.

• Mario's Hat - a Red cap that allows the player to turn into Mario.
• Luigi's Hat - a Green cap that allows the player to turn into Luigi.
• Wario's Hat - a Yellow cap that allows the player to turn into Wario.

Coins

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.

Power Flower Powers

Each of the four characters has a special power from the power Flower in the ? box. Only Mario can get something other than a powerflower from the ? box and that would be a feather to transform him into Wing Mario. These forms and powers last for a short time (about 20 seconds), except the Wing form (about 1 minute). Plus, Luigi's and Wario's powers last shorter than Mario's equivalent forms in Super Mario 64.

Mario: Floating Power SM64DS FloatingPower.jpg Floating to the level's high points. The ability to float in a puffed out formation of the stomach to reach high places, like a P-Balloon.	Luigi: Vanish Luigi Luigi can go through almost anything. The ability to transform into Vanish Luigi, becoming transparent and able to pass through solid matter. This form has a vulnerabillity to lava and quick sand, as well as drowning.
Wario: Metal Wario Metal Wario is invincible. The ability to become Metal Wario and become almost invincible, however, Metal Wario will slowly sink in quicksand and lava.	Yoshi: Fire Breath SM64DS BreathFire.jpg Yoshi fries some enemies. The ability to melt ice and such with fire blasts.

Rabbits

Each character has a certain amount of rabbits to catch (they are color coded), plus the 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.

Rabbit Locations

• 6: In the room with the entrance to the Goomboss Battle (behind the Rec Room)
• 7: Outside the castle, on the roof (150 stars needed to unlock the cannon)

• 3: In the basement, in the left hall with Toad
• 4: Behind the castle, in the courtyard with the boos

However, in the castle there will be 8 or 9 shiney rabbits that randomly is placed where a regular rabbit used to be. Template:Spoiler If you collect all of them, you can get a key that opens the white room in the character swich room. The first time you open it and go in, you get a power star. However, if you go in after that, you'll hear Boos laugh and you character comes out and seems to be quiet startled.

Bowser Boss Battles

Mario fighting Bowser

Bowser has kidnapped Peach, and holds the keys to the next floors as in Super Mario 64. He will only fight Mario. But after you beat him with Mario once, it will allow you to fight Bowser with any character. (Unless it's the final stage.) (although s glitch can be used to fight Bowser with another character, with Yoshi using hats to fight Bowser, also by using Action Replay DS, there is a code that you use to play as any character to fight Bowser) as the doors to his levels will only open for him. 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 final star.

His subversive Worlds:

• Bowser in the Dark World Which is a darkened coarse that's just... Dark.
• Bowser in the Fire Sea As the title says, it's a coarse in many fire seas.
• Bowser in the Sky The final coarse that's the longest and makes you climb high into the air.

Rec Room

The Rec Room

Once keys are gained, they can open shelves to unlock minigames. Mario's and Wario's minigames are action packed, Luigi's are casino (or luck based) games, and Yoshi's are logical.

Here is a complete listing of all mini-games (including unlockables) throughout the game. They are followed by in-game instructions.

Yoshi

• Wanted – It's easy to get lost in a crowd! Find the one who disappeared and touch him. There he is!
• Loves Me...? – Play this mini-game for advice on your love life! Pluck the petals to find out how your crush feels about you.
• Hide and Boo Seek – Rub the Touch Screen where the Boos are hiding! For the first 15 levels, you get 3 seconds to find them. After that, you only get 2 seconds.
• Puzzle Panel – Match the Touch Screen picture to the top screen. Touch a panel to turn over the surrounding panels. Harder levles will take more turns to solve.
• Boom Box – Each time you open a treasure chest, you'll hear a sound. Open 2 chests with the same sound. Win by matching all the pairs!
• Tox Box Shuffle – Oh, no! Yoshi's trapped in a Tox Box! Find which one he's in to save him!
• Which Wiggler? – Touch the Wiggler on the Touch Screen that matches the one on the top of the screen. Choose carefully, though; he has a terrible temper.
• Mix-a-Mug – Line up the slots on the Touch Screen to form a face. Win more coins by matching the center face in the slots to the one on the top screen.
• Puzzle Panic – This mini-game takes the Puzzle Panel to a whole new level. Put on your thinking cap. You're going to need it.

Mario

• Mario's Slides – Guide Mario down the slides to the Star. Draw lines on the Touch Screen to create new routes for him. Collect 5 Stars to move up a stage.
• Bounce and Pounce – Mario's in free fall, but he can bounce back if you touch him. Stomp the Fly Guys, but make sure he doesn't fall off the Touch Screen.
• Sort or 'Splode – Guide Bob-ombs to the black carpet and Bob-omb Buddies to the red carpet. If you bring in a wrong-colored Bob-omb, it will blow up!
• Trampoline Time – Draw a line on the Touch Screen to turn it into a trampoline. You can draw up to 3 lines at a time. Help Mario bounce to safety!
• Shuffle Shell – Use the paddle to push the Koopa shells to the target. The closer the shells land to the center of the target, the more points you will earn.
• Bound and Trounce – Mario's surrounded by Fly Guys to trounce. Touch him on his left, right, or center to make him bounce in that direction.
• Connect the Characters – Draw lines to match the characters' head to their bodies. Press "GO!" when you're finished to see how you fared!
• Shell Smash – Hit Koopa shells together to score points. Hit many in a row for even more points. Score even higher points by smashing green shells together.
• Trampoline Terror – Only players with superb stylus skills will be able to make Mario bounce through rings.

Luigi

• Memory Match – Pick two matching cards to make them disappear. Clear all the cards to win.
• Pair-a-Gone – Touch 2 identical cards that are connected vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to make them disappear. Clear them all to win!

• Pair-a-Gone and On – This game of Pair-a-Gone goes on forever! Test your skill and see how many cards you can clear. Go for the record!
• Memory Master – If Memory Match was a piece of cake for you, try out this harder version. You now have more cards to play with.
• Super Mario Slot – Touch the spinning slots to stop them. Get 3 items in a row to earn coins! The Superstar is wild. Are you feeling super lucky?

Wario

• Bob-omb Squad – The parachuting Bob-ombs are destroying your flowers! Use your slingshot to knock them out of the air. Hit Lakitu to blow them all up.
• Snowball Slalom – Rub the Touch Screen to roll the snowman's head to the goal before time runs out! Rocks will slow you down, as will touching his head!
• Bingo Ball – Launch a ball into a numbered slot on the Touch Screen. That number will light up the top screen. Get 3 numbers in a row to score!
• Coincentration – Pay attention to where the falling coins land. Touch the blocks to retrieve the coins. But, if you choose the wrong block, your game will end.
• Psych Out! – Are you psychic? Can you guess what's on the card's other side? Maybe if you stare at it long enough, a vision will come to you.
• Slots Shot – The bars swing open when a ball goes in a Piranha Plant. Sink the ball into the pipe to trigger the slots Switch. Get 3 items in a row for a bonus!
• Lakitu Launch – Shoots as many balls as you can into the tubs within the allotted time.
• Intense Coincentration – There aren't as many falling coins this time around, but that won't stop Wario. Watch the coins carefully!
• Giant Snowball Slalom – Roll the snowball over a longer course! As before, avoid rocks because they'll slow the player down.

Trivia

• The tune in the Rec room is the Grass Land overworld theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.
• 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 originally going to be called Super Mario 64X4.
• The Super Mushroom power-up was added in this game, mainly found in bricks, and caused the player to grow to an enormous size (and gave Yoshi punching abilities). In the limited time one has it, one can defeat virtually every enemy, something one couldn't do in Super Mario 64.
• Waluigi was rumored to be a playable character, due to a certain "Purple Prizes" sheet that was concocted. The sheet was apparently released by Nintendo and provided false screenshots of Waluigi in-game, as well as claiming that he could be unlocked as a playable character by beating Koopa the Quick in under 30 seconds, and then fighting a so-called "Rabbit King." However, this was proven false.
• In Tiny-Huge Island, "Klepto the Condor" was originally "Five Itty Bitty Secrets".
• The artwork of the castle on the Boxart is different from the design in-game. The design on the boxart 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 Japanese N64 release.
