The DS version was my first experience of the Mario 64. I quite liked the added challenge of the extra characters but looking back it was really trying to emulate other games rather than staying true to what made the original really great.

@joboer
I picked up the DS version when the system launched and the answer is both yes and no.

The game looks pretty good on the DS. The controls work decent too, though not as well since I’m pretty sure you had to use a run button to make up for the lack of analogue stick. The camera is mapped to the touch screen which works better than you’d think.

But for whatever reason, the game starts you off as yoshi and you have to save the other characters. There are also hats that will let you transform into the other characters. This sounds cool in theory but just makes the game feel more convoluted and less enjoyable.

Great review. Is the DS version any good, anyone? Also, `SnakeHayter`is an amazing name.

I never realized it before, but you are totally right. The princess is a filthy liar.

Mario would clearly do anything for her, so why does she feel the need to lie to manipulate him?
