Super Mario 64 DS Hints XXX (DS)

Super Mario 64 DS is a game made exclusively for the Nintendo DS handheld platform, by Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development division and published by the company itself for the portable console, 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 new and improved version of its cult classic Super Mario 64, which appeared originally on the Nintendo 64 home console.

The first game went on to gain critical and sales success, so this remastered title doesn't try to add too many new things, as the developer concentrated on improving the graphics, in order to take advantage of the more powerful DS hardware, and added new characters, like Yoshi or Wario, who can explore new areas.

HINTS

Mario's basic techniques
Note: This is with standard mode.

- Triple Jump Dive: Perform the Triple Jump, then press A.
- Ledge Grabbing: When you grab a ledge quickly press B to get up or R to descend.
- Tree Climbing: When climbing on a tree, hold Y to accelerate up. When at the top of the tree, do not move then press Up. You will do a hand stand on top of the tree. Press B to go flying high into the air. Note: This is useful for places that you cannot reacy by foot.
- Power Dunk: When in mid-air at almost any time, press R. Mario will stop in mid-air for a full second, curl up, then descend at a good speed directly downward. This is useful for boxes that need smashing.
- Crawling: Hold R and press in any direction to crawl. Crawling works best in small narrow spaces where it is easy to fall.
- Super Backflip Somersault: Hold R and make sure you are crouching, then jump. You can maneuver slightly while in the air.
