Super Mario 64 DS is a video game that was created by Nintendo's own Entertainment Analysis and Development division, and published by the Japanese company just for its Nintendo DS handheld console, as a remastered version of the first Super Mario 64 that appeared for the Nintendo 64 home console back in the 1990s, and was launched on the market on November 21, 2004, in North America, December 2, that same year, in Japan, on February 24, 2005, in Australia, and on March 11, 2005, in Europe.
Seeing as how Super Mario 64 DS is just a remake of the first title, not a lot of changes are present, with players once again needing to explore the 3D version of the Mushroom Kingdom, but certain improvements have been made to the graphics or gameplay, thanks to the more powerful DS, while extra playable characters from Nintendo's hugely popular Mario series have been added, including fan favorite Yoshi, and a cooperative mode through the DS' Wi-Fi Connection.

Cool, Cool Mountain
Shortcut
When you go down the chimney to slide down, you will see a line of coins set up diagonally as you make a turn. Collect the coins and do not turn. You will go through a wall and get to the end of the slide faster.
Awoken owl
Move next to the elevator. Climb the tree on the right. When you get near to the top, an owl will pop out of the tree. Note: If you fall off the edge on the right of the elevator, you will float back up but only have one chance per fall to get back on the path.
Teleportation
At the beginning of the level, turn around. There should be a broken bridge. Slowly walk to the edge and stop walking. You should go to the bottom of the mountain.
