Thank you to All In! Games for sponsoring today's Super Mario 64 DS ep! Check out Tools Up!: store.steampowered.com/app/10...
Super Mario 64 is a Nintendo classic and having played it quite a bit and reviewing it before, I didn't think there was much more you could do with this game. But then this DS game remake came out and blew me away. I was able to play and be nostalgic for parts of this game, and then pleasantly surprised with the new additions. To me, Super Mario 64 DS is the definitive way to play this game.

@char7490 2 жыл бұрын

@@jasonbrown467 You’re not wrong that “smart” phones existed before that but they weren’t in the modern form we see today. They didn’t have the same blueprints that the iPhone gave us to kickstart actual smartphones. They had resistive touch needing a stylus, really underpowered CPUs, installing apps wasn’t as centralised and easy because there was no App Store. Plus the UI wasn’t intuitive and easy for the average consumer to use. The foundations were definitely there but it wasn’t enough to be considered a smart phone yet. Sure you could browse the internet, play games, and call people but its still very limited.

This is MY mario 64. I’ve been playing it every once and a while, and I’m finally trying to finish it. My idiotic 5 year old self never figured out how to unlock Luigi or Wario, and I never beat the game. Kinda funny if you ask me! I need to finish it soon... This is the definitive edition of Mario 64. In my opinion: the only edge the original has is the speed running community, as well as being the origin of 3D Mario. DS absolutely updated it in every way possible. Small critique: all characters can use the hats and the wing. The only exception here for the first one is that no other character is yoshi besides Yoshi. The wing can be used by everybody tho.

@awol9588 4 жыл бұрын

Actually only mario can use the wing unless you're playing the multi-player versus mode, but yeah, he didn't make it clear that the bros and Wario can turn into other players using caps except they can't turn into yoshi.

This was the first video game I ever played, ever. It took me years to complete 100%, since I not only had to learn how to play and get good at the game, but games in general. I took it with me EVERYWHERE, and it took the help of all my friends to finally beat the game. It’s still one of my most treasured childhood moments. When my little brother turned about four or five (the age I was when I started playing), I reluctantly gave him my copy of the game, along with my original grey DS, so he could make some of the same memories I had made. It was a really touching Toy Story 3-like moment, until four days later he flushed it and the DS down his school’s toilet.

I ended up growing up with both the n64 version and the ds version. My sister had the n64 version that I played and eventually completed at a pretty young age. Once the ds came around, I no longer had access to the n64 version by normal means, but I was super excited for it. Because I got a limited amount of games, I played it a lot. After school, on car rides, whenever I could really. I enjoyed it a lot to the point where I ended up completing the game not once, not twice, but over ELEVEN times. All that said, I really enjoy both versions for their own reasons. I personally prefer the ds version just because it's more polished, but I occasionally would go back and complete mario 64 in a day just because its overall movement just felt special.

Man this game was my childhood. It’s just like you said. This game is my image for Mario 64 and I’m so glad to see a KZfaq reviewer not crap on it because it’s not the original. Surprised you didn’t talk about the controls more considering there is less analogue movement due to the way it’s programmed. Since it was programmed with a dpad in mind the game makes you snap to 8 directions instead of the 360 movement of the original. Even if you use a circle pad on 3ds or wii u it is still not programmed for 360 movement. That never bothered me but I do realise it’s a valid complaint. Great video Jirard!

There was one time when I was little, my Grandpa was in the hospital. We had a pretty good chunk of the family who showed up to visit. I had a cousin who had this on his DS and nearly all of my family spent hours only playing the minigames over and over, there were so many fun ones. It was awesome how, even though the game is a single player game, these minigames opened up an entirely to aspect to the game where others could enjoy these minigames.

This game to me is the pinnacle of mobile gaming. It’s literally a full console game and then some with decent graphics and great controls and it all runs and loads so smoothly. I used to play this every day when I was a kid, I would hide it under my bed and when mom told me to go to sleep I would turn the volume down and stay up late playing it and I always had it in the car anywhere we went. There are other good mobile games but nothing quite of this caliber

@bonsparksart825 4 жыл бұрын

Jirard dude. You're right about something always being for someone. When you're a teen on the school bus in an era where your parents couldn't afford to get you a unique game for party games, it's a miracle when your full length single player Mario game has around a full half Mario party integrated into the game itself. Being able to burn those 40 minute bus journeys with your friends was great.

Love that you used some Donkey Kong County 2 music! Though I’d played the SNES Mario games, this was my first 3D video game experience. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t realize it was a remake for a while. At the time, I was crazy about Yoshi in Super Mario World. Playing as him was something I never thought I’d see, so that was personally something special. Your videos are always a gift Jirard!

I remember walking from middle to meet up with my little brothers at the elementary school to wait for our parents to pick us up, standing around with my friends who were doing the same, and passing this one ds around trying to beat each other’s scores in the mini games (specifically the bomb matching one and the trampoline drawing one). that and bouncing golf balls off the brick wall. I haven’t thought about that in a long time. Nostalgic. 👍

Born in 2001, this was the SM64 that I grew up with. Countless fond memories. I remember the playground rumour that in order to unlock Luigi, you needed to beat up the haunted piano in the ghost house. I died to that piano like 100 times before finding that Luigi painting out of sheer luck. One of my happiest moments in all of gaming. Then in the early days of youtube, learning the various glitches and the Waluigi fan theory, just so so good.

No. The controls are shit in this version that makes it not definitive by a long shot. The extra stuff in an original Mario N64 rom, a mod, would be the definitive version but not this. And not even with a control stick. The movement is still too much broken with it.

I ended up playing the minigames in this more than the main game itself which I did finish. It's funny how you mentioned they were similar to the games your little brother would download on your iPhone/Android because they were the original casual time waster type of games that we just play on our phones now. You gotta remember, smartphones didn't exist yet and even then most kids playing this were too young to be trusted with a cell phone when this was out, so these minigames were very much welcomed.
