Template:Award-winner Shouldn't we merge this article with Super Mario 64? It's simply a remake w/ some newly created challenges, more characters and a slightly different storyline. The powers and levels are still the same, with improved graphics. Wayoshi 20:57, 3 July 2006 (EDT)

I'm not sure. There are enough chages to Super Mario 64 DS its own article. More playable characters, more levels, more stars, different power-ups, including the Power Flower. It's much more than a simple remake. However, the two pages should be linked together. --Son of Suns 02:03, 5 July 2006 (EDT)

Remake

This isn't a remake. It has new characters, new levels, and a slightly different plot. True, Super Mario Advance 3 had extra levels, but remakes don't include new plots. That isn't saying since Super Mario Advance 3 has extra levels, it should be two different games. It's saying that there are too many differences between 64 and 64 DS.

They are two different games, but SM64 DS is still a remake of SM64. -- Son of Suns

But how?

Mariofan132

Using the same title and the same base environs. -- Son of Suns

Since this is a remake, how come I keep seeing it referred to in this Wiki as either non-canonical or a separate incident from Super Mario 64? I must admit, I am confused... Dinosaur bob 13:54, 1 July 2007 (EDT)

Isn't this an FA

Isn't this an FA?Storm Yoshi

I don't know, but it sure looks like it should be. Talk

WarioLoaf and I rewrote it; WL did the code and I wrote an entire walkthrough. It got nominated; didn't make it. 3D, SIGH... admire my handiwork!

Mini-game instructions

Are the in-game instructions for the mini-games identical to those in New Super Mario Bros.? I only have the latter and would like to add the instructions to the articles. Time Questions 15:17, 3 January 2008 (EST)

No one here who has both games and can compare the instructions? Time Questions 07:32, 22 January 2008 (EST)

Is this Fake?

I found this picture, and I think it is fake. Image:FakeWaluigi.jpg
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lewa159 (talk).

YES, it is fake. It's been specificly stated ti be fake. And, people have torn the game apart, ripped up the ROM, and found nothing of Waluigi. And, sign comments plorx.GreenKoopa - Comments or questions?

Problem

Some code at the end of the page seems to not end, and seems to keep the templates towards the middle and some other things. If I'm correct, it seems to be coming from the differences section towards the bottom of the page. May somebody fix this, as I don't know how, please? --Palkia47 21:11, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

Rec Room

I added that some of the games are from NSMB I wonder wwhy no one else did that.ratfink43

'cause the NSMB games are from SM64DS, not the other way round. Time Questions 14:29, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

Multiple Endings

Within the past two weeks, I decided to attempt to beat Super Mario 64 DS without rescuing Wario and Luigi. In the latter case, Wario also would not be saved. This article is untrue in that a player does not need to save all the characters to battle the final Bowser upon obtaining 80 Power Stars. In addition, not saving characters creates two alternate endings to the game. The first shows Mario, Luigi and Yoshi with Peach and all appearing as figures on the cake. The second shows just Mario and Yoshi meeting Princess Peach and only the three of them appear upon the "Thank You" cake.

2. Other Universe

You can have all the characters saved and on top of the cake,or just yoshi and mario. Either way,you have to finish the game with yoshi and mario. --Rosalina1234 12:26, 23 July 2011 (EDT)Rosalina 1234

Find a way to incorporate that into the article.--Knife (talk) 04:49, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

VS Mode

There is no mentioning of vs mode in this article. I believe that it should be added.

Trivia

Is anyone aware that when a cap is lost, one can find it in any course in which it is possible to lose a cap? Bspald95 (talk) 16:25, 23 August 2012 (EDT)
