In addition to the proper game modes, Super Mario 64 DS features a doodling option that incorporates some of the tech demo technology we saw at E3. The version we played offered 36 touch-screen-focused minigames-nine for each character. Over the course of your platforming adventure you'll eventually find the other members of the gang who will then become playable characters.įinally, the rec room mode is a collection of minigames specific to each character. However, hope is not lost, as Yoshi, who was napping on the castle roof like any good slacker, becomes aware of the situation and heads out to save the day.
Unfortunately, when Mario, Luigi, and Wario stop by for some chow, they're trapped in the castle. We find Princess Peach inviting Mario and the gang over to her spacious castle for some cake (apparently when she's not being the poster child for kidnapped royalty, Peach can actually throw down in the kitchen). The story has been tweaked to accommodate the new gameplay flow. In this new incarnation of it, you'll eventually control four characters: Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario-although you'll start out as Yoshi. For example, one of the maps we saw will require players to fight for possession of a set number of silver stars.Īdventure is the single-player portion of the game, based on Super Mario 64. Versus will let you play with up to three friends in wireless multiplayer competitions that are similar in format to what we saw at E3, although the game will feature several new game types and maps to play on. You'll find three game modes when you fire up the game: versus, adventure, and rec room. The work-in-progress version on display at Nintendo's Gamer's Summit boasted a number of significant changes to the N64 game, and it appears that Nintendo has worked hard toward establishing Super Mario 64 DS as a unique title. While the game looked like a pretty straightforward conversion of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, with a few extra bells and whistles, it has now apparently come a long way since we first saw it at E3. SEATTLE-We recently had a chance to get our hands on Super Mario 64 DS, the Nintendo DS incarnation of Nintendo's classic Super Mario 64.
