Message: [QUOTE="Your_Homie_Gale, post: 209927, member: 26790"] Mario 64 DS was my favorite DS game for a while and it was my first time playing Mario 64. The controls were something I got used to and I didn't have any trouble adjusting to and from the original 64 controls. As someone who has played both I think DS is still a great way to play the game, but it is flawed in its bonus content. The new characters are pretty cool to play as but I wish Wario was more useful than just breaking black bricks and having the metal cap power up. Compared to Luigi who felt like a side grade to Mario, Wario feels too specific with what he's given. Dividing the stars up between the cast and making them more character specific means you have to run back and change characters which feels tedious for 100% completion, but this mitigated by Yoshi at least (something better than nothing in my opinion.) As for the 30 new stars to collect (150 in total) they are all 8 red coin challenges, 5 silver star challenges, and star switch challenges which seem dull. Why not make more new specific challenges than just the same 3 copy paste ones? The new levels to explore, however, including their boss fights, are a main highlight I enjoy. The mini games are also the best thing added to 64 DS aside from the new levels. [/QUOTE]
