Super Mario 64 DS is a game made exclusively for the Nintendo DS by Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development group, and published by the company 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 remastered version of the classic Nintendo 64 game Super Mario 64.

Because the original title had such a large cult appeal, being the first 3D Mario game ever, the development studio didn't change up the new version all that much, keeping the gameplay and the story largely the same, but did implement a few improvements, in terms of graphics, thanks to the more powerful hardware of the Nintendo DS, and even added a few new characters like Yoshi or Wario, who have special powers different from Mario.

Secret Stars

-Go into the basement with Wario. Go to the entrance to Hazy Maze Cave but do not jump in. Go all the way around and down the steps. You should see a Toad in the left hand corner. Speak to him for a Star.

-Go to the second floor with Luigi. There is a Toad across from the Tall Tall Mountain entrance, located directly behind the steps that go to the third floor. Speak to the Toad and he will tell you about the mirror room. Before he finishes, he also gives you a Star.

-In all the levels leading up to a Bowser fight (the levels that bring you to a transport pipe), there are a possible of two secret Stars. One is to find all eight red coins. The other is to find a switch Star by stepping on a Star button.

-On every course in this game, you are able to get a Star if you collect 100 Coins.

-When you go into Luigi's picture frame (located in the ghost place), get Luigi's cap. Find a "?" box after killing everything in there (because you will need to go very fast). When you use a Power Flower and you are invisible, in the final room where you enter the hole to face King Boo, there will be a Star on the map. Because you can go through walls, go through the ghost picture and there will be a Star.
