Super Mario 64 DS - for NDS

Super Mario 64 DS brought one of the most important three dimensional platformers ever made to Nintendo's handheld in 2004. Developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo, it rebuilds Super Mario 64, the Nintendo 64 classic, for a system with two screens, a touch screen and wireless play. The setup is familiar: Peach is trapped inside her own castle and power stars are hidden throughout its painted worlds. What makes Super Mario 64 DS stand apart is the cast, because instead of Mario alone you can take control of Mario, Luigi, Wario and Yoshi, each with abilities of their own.

You begin as Yoshi, and the others are freed as you explore the castle and find keys. Every character handles differently, some jumping higher, some hitting harder, some fluttering or floating, so a star that resists one of them often falls easily to another. Caps let you change who you are in the middle of a level, which turns many of the castle's challenges into questions of choice rather than pure reflex. Alongside the star hunt, Super Mario 64 DS carries a deep set of touch screen minigames and multiplayer modes for up to three friends over wireless, where everyone races for stars in compact versions of the game's worlds.

Players keep coming back to Super Mario 64 DS because its foundation is one of the great designs in games, and the handheld version gives that design new angles: more characters, more reasons to revisit a world, more to find. For collectors, Super Mario 64 DS is a cornerstone of the Nintendo DS library, a title from the system's earliest days that still sits near the top of any list of its best games, and a cartridge worth owning for the minigames alone.
