Super Mario 64 DS is a video game released just for the Nintendo DS portable system, created by the Entertainment Analysis and Development division of the Japanese company, and published by Nintendo itself 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, as a remake of the original Super Mario 64 that appeared back in the 1990s for the Nintendo 64 home console.
This remastered DS version of the game doesn't try to alter the core principles of the classic title, in order to attract those that want to experience it once more or who didn't get a chance the first time, but does upgrade things like graphics or gameplay, by taking advantage of the more powerful DS handheld, while adding extra playable characters, including Yoshi or Wario, who have special powers that come in handy in certain areas of the game's world.
HINTS
Peach's Castle
Secret Star
-Stand on the sun platform in the middle of the main room in the castle as Mario. Gaze up at the sun above the final Boss door. You must perform this trick with Mario because he is the only person that can fly. Inside, you must collect eight red coins and a Star will appear on the center platform. Note: You can only receive this star after you reach a certain point in the game. You will know you have reached this point when the sun shines through onto the platform.
-Go into the courtyard, but do not go into Boo's Big Hunt. First, go to the red bricks on the side and Ground Pound them. One of them should have a hole leading to a secret stage where you must collect five silver stars.
-On the level where you unlock Wario, once you get down the slide and across to the land, turn to your left to see a narrow little bridge that leads to a different area. Get the Wario hat nearby, then get the Power Flower to turn to Metal Wario. This must be done because the wind blows when you try to cross. However, Metal Wario is not affected by the wind. You will see a big black cube once you get to the other side. Crush the cube to get the Star.
-After you get Luigi, go up onto the third floor of the castle, go to the mirror room. Get a flower with Luigi and go into the mirror door. There will be a white room with a star in the center.
-That door that is next to Wario's door has a Star in it. The only way to get it is to catch all the shiny bunnies. The last bunny should give you a key. Use that key to get through the door.
