Review

 

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.

This was a incredible game but i prefered the N64. Although i liked playing as wario and yoshi etc, i would have prefered to play as mario and then you can unlock the three caps!

However i loved there were 30 extra stars and a few more bonus levels that werent in the N64 version. All in all it was a pretty good game.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars A lot of plusses, it just doesn't wash with me, sorry

How can I explain myself? To say that I didn't enjoy this game would be a lie, but I feel there was something missing from this. It's probably because I remember playing the original which is still the more superior game. A couple of issues I had with this one was that the camera was annoying and sometimes difficult to see what you were doing and hard to control when you are in the middle of doing something else. Also (please don't find out where I live and kill me!) Whats with the added characters? I don't feel this adds more to the gameplay, it is an annoyance, whats wrong with just mario? In all all it is an undeniably a good game, with the minigames being a good edition but I would recommend people with t wii to download the original from the virtual console rather than get this, if you don't have a wii, then it may be your only chance to experience this great game, although it is a watered down experience.
