( - The game has 30 more stars to earn than the original Nintendo 64 game.
- The Nintendo DS version features several minigame challenges that utilize the touch sensitive screen.

The landscape and the characters all look familiar. This is the opening castle area of Super Mario 64, only with a few DS twists thrown in. Up to four players can link up using the wireless capabilities. Players move familiar characters like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario around the 3-D landscape, exploring and looking for stars. While one screen shows the player's character position, the other provides an overall map of the area. Touch a spot on the screen to pop the camera over to another player's position, or to take a close-up look at the castle.

I have to say I disagree with some of the positive comments people have made about the graphics and controls on this game. The graphics aren't as good as on the N64 - of course they're not, the DS is a handheld, so you wouldn't expect them to be.
The stylus controls may be good, I've not tried them yet. However, the basic d-pad controls are pretty annoying. The default speed of movement is a painfully slow walk and to move with any speed, you constantly have to hold down the Y button, which makes pressing any other buttons awkward. I'm hoping that the stylus controls are considerably better, otherwise this is going to take a lot of getting used to.
That's not to say that the game is bad - it's not. It's different to the N64 version, as bits and pieces have been tweaked here, giving it the nostalgic fun of the original, whilst keeping it new and interesting.
WOW brilliant game!!!

Just got my brand new White DS Lite yesterday and this was the first game I got to start my DS gen collection BUT also fittin it was the very first game I ever got for my N64!!!!
Pros;
Excellent port
Still a classic
Fun
Lots to do for £25 so well worth it
All the new extra content not in the original
Cons;
Graphics fall slightly short of N64 version but for a handheld I don't see that as a great neg
No thumb nub type stick on the DS makes play with directional pad much harder(Im still sussing out playing with the DS stylus so hopin that will become easier)
All in all though 9 out of 10 and 4stars not 5 due to the cons I've stated.
My next game for my collection will be Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
