Super Mario 64 DS : Nintendo DS Description
Expanded Description A launch title for the Nintendo DS handheld system, this remake of the breakthrough N64 3D platformer adds new multiplayer game modes that make use of the handheld's wireless technology. Players can take the roles of Mario, Luigi, Wario, or Yoshi -- each with a different special ability -- in competition against other nearby DS gamers to collect the most stars. Super Mario 64 DS also features 36 new mini-games -- nine for each of the four playable characters. As in the original, the single-player mode has gamers traversing a three-dimensional Mushroom Kingdom castle toward a final showdown with Bowser, who wants all the stars for himself. In regular play, the top screen shows the 3D action while the bottom screen is used to display a top-down map of the current area.
