Super Mario 64 DS

Background

The landscape and the characters all look familiar. This is the opening castle area of Super Mario 64, only with a few DS twists thrown in. Up to four players can link up using the wireless capabilities. Players move familiar characters like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario around the 3-D landscape, exploring and looking for stars. While on screen shows the player's character position, the other provides an overall map of the area. Touch a spot on he screen to pop the camera over to another players position, or to take a close up look at the castle.

Gameplay

Each of the four main characters has multiple jumping moves that cover great horizontal and vertical distances. Each has unique moves: Yoshi can eat enemies and turn them into eggs that he can throw; Mario can punch, kick and wall-jump to great heights; super-strong Wario can break certain blocks; and Luigi can jump incredibly high. Power Flowers give each character even cooler powers, like invisibility, fire breath or the power to float through the air.

Features

• Play as Mario, Yoshi, Luigi and even Wario. You'll need to use each one's unique abilities to find 150 Power Stars hidden in the castle and grounds.
  
• Play through Adventure mode and try your stylus-wielding hand at tons of new touch-sensitive min-games.
  
• Battle up to three friends in Wireless Versus mode, which you can play with only one Super Mario 64 DS game card.
