This is an excellent remake of the original. I love the concept of taking old classics and adding new content to them. This adds 30 new stars, a handful of new levels, four new playable characters, and fun minigames. This is mandatory playing for all owners of the Nintendo DS.

child's first gambling experience

Para nada soy un gen z adicto a la ds. Este juego no lo conocí por la 64 sino por su remake, que es muchísimo mejor y no voy a cambiar de opinión. Me encantaba explorar los mapas como yoshi e intentar tragarme a los pingüinos. La música del nivel final de bowser es mítica, así como la del nivel del agua. Y me pasaba HORAS jugando a los minijuegos, luigi me volvió ludopata.

I beat this when I was like 7 and I got so excited that I fell off my bed and the game froze. I was distraught.


Great game, far better expanded than the original, but the main problem is the controls. I played it on the 3DS (wich has analogues), but still.

Mario 64 from the N64 suffered from its bad camera, but that's okay, coming from a 1996 game. I can't say the same from this one, since the camera and the controls are terrible.

It's a wonderful experience, but it can be really frustrating.

The amount of times I've replayed this is ridiculous. LOVE IT!
and yet despite that i hadn't completed this game once lol.

mario 64 was already frustrating playing it on a ds was even worse

CLASSIQUE, le jeu est si long et c'est constamment bien

the best part of mario 64 is its controls. this game ruins them. it's not that good

the minigames added to that remake are deeply etched in my mind as being THE activity on school trip buses

The definitive version of Super Mario 64
Wario is in it

you be having the time of your life in this game and then BOOM the last 2 levels, those could've been considered as a new type of torture ngl

My 3DS says 46 minutes... I definitely played a ton of this. I'm not sure that I made much progress, but it was awesome to just roam around and play the minigames on road trips. I don't think there's ever been a better minigame collection.

If it wasn't for it's horrible controls, this would be my favorite 3D Mario game.
And where is Waluigi?! Come on, Nintendo. Give our purple plumber boy a chance.

A solid remake, but not my ideal version. My biggest issue is the controls. While the original’s controls weren’t perfect, the remake’s just feels stiff even with a control stick, and the camera is somehow worse. I think the new characters are cool, minus Wario. All of the stars that require him all boil down to “break the black block” they even take stars that were perfectly accessible in the original and just shove black blocks in the path to make you use him, it’s kinda lame. He doesn’t even have new movement options like the others, so he just feels like a way for the developers to lock stars behind in the late game. Besides that, most of the other new content is just kinda there. The minigames are neat, hunting down rabbits to get them isn’t. New stars are cool in concept, but most of them boil down to “collect silver stars” or “press the star switch” with little variety. Overall, I still enjoyed my time with 64 DS, the controls just aren’t my cup of tea and some of the new content is whatever.

does anyone else think its insane that this came out only eight years after the original? thats like if Mario Odyssey got a handheld remake literally next year and it somehow had better graphics

only thing holding this back from being earnestly better than the original is the tank controls. however. im extremely attached to this one

It's a beautiful game, I think we all know that. However, it's a shame that the camera is still not functioning properly and that swimming feels like you're carrying two 20kg bricks.

finally, a 3d platformer with WARIO!!!!

Impressive remake that took a few steps forward but a lot back. The steps forward being that the new content is great, mini games are fun, nice seeing the game with modern models, and the ending stretch is more bearable. The steps back are that it controls much worse, which makes the already frustrating moments in the OG more bad. If the ending is more bearable, the beginning feels more annoying now. Overall a good game but could’ve been a better remake, 6.5/10

Fidèle à lui-même, dédiasse au piano qui m'a trauma quand j'avais 10 piges, les minis-jeux masterclasse aussi

I have a lot of nostalgia for this one, but the controls really do hold it back.


This SHOULD be better then the original but the controls hold it back.

They remade Analog Stick: The Game without an analog stick...

Não tenho nem noção de quanto tempo eu passei jogando esse game, devo ter zerado ao menos umas 10x... Fez minha infância!
