Super Mario 64 DS is a video game made only for the Nintendo DS handheld console by Nintendo's internal Entertainment Analysis and Development division, published by the company itself for the portable device, and released 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 its classic Super Mario 64, which appeared first on the Nintendo 64 home console back in the 1990s.
The original game went on to gain critical and sales success, so the remastered version doesn't change much of its core gameplay, with the developer concentrating on improving the visuals of the title, in order to take advantage of the more powerful DS hardware, while adding new characters, like Yoshi or Wario, who can explore new areas.

Glowing rabbits
Some locations of the rabbits are as follows.
- Rabbit 1: Caught with Luigi. It is found in the underground hallway near the Lethal Lava Land course.
- Rabbit 2: Caught with Yoshi. It is found in the garden on the outside of the castle near the bushes.
- Rabbit 3: Caught with Wario. It is found in the hall of the Tiny-Huge Island course.
- Rabbit 4: Caught with Mario. It is found on the staircase leading up to the Tick-Tock Clock course and the Rainbow Ride course.
- Rabbit 5: Caught with Luigi. Found in the Bob-Omb Battlefield hall.
- Rabbit 6: Caught with Wario. Found in the same place you found it with Wario. It is found in the hall of the Tiny-Huge Island Course.
- Rabbit 7: Caught with Mario. Found in the Jolly Roger Bay hall.
- There is no particular order to the glowing rabbits. The fastest way to catch all eight glowing rabbits is to use Yoshi and go outside (not the Boo courtyard). Yoshi has five rabbits outside alone. Go outside, catch all the glowing rabbits, re-enter the castle, then exit again. Keep repeating this until you catch all eight glowing rabbits.
