This Mario game features a significant number of changes from the Nintendo 64 title. Another stage may challenge your wits instead of your reflexes by having you solve puzzles. For example, on one level, you are in a race against multiple opponents. The company does this by regularly introducing new gameplay styles. While "Super Mario 64 DS" on the Nintendo DS is primarily an action adventure, Nintendo keeps the action fresh. Goals can range from gathering coins to completing quests for NPC characters. To gain Power Stars, you'll complete objectives in each level. You'll run, jump, and stomp on the heads of your enemies. "Super Mario 64 DS" plays similarly to other Super Mario Bros. After achieving 80 Power Stars, you'll unlock the final battle. The more Power Stars you collect in these areas, the more of the castle you unlock. In each castle is an interactive painting that takes you to a new area.

To rescue her, you'll need to traverse her castle and search it room by room. In "Super Mario 64 DS," a port of the original game, Princess Peach has once again been kidnapped by Bowser.

It's only fitting that "Super Mario 64 DS" was a launch title for the Nintendo DS in 2004. "Super Mario 64" was a launch title for the Nintendo 64 in 1996.
