Here's yet, another review done by your known's truly, IB122, this time is on the game Super Mario 64 on he Nintendo DS. This game right here is a remake on the original 1996 game of Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 with a brand new twist and the first Mario game for the Nintendo DS as well, being released around the same time the DS was released in 2004, in this game, instead of one character, you got 4 different characters to control and a whole bunch of other good, interesting things to do, but enough about the introduction, and lets get to the review, show we.
The Graphics:
The graphics is the biggest change between this and the Nintendo 64's version, a wide difference, for this, I think looking at each of the character spites in each of the levels and all looks a lot ore sharper and a lot more "3D" than in the N64 version, and I think Nintendo did a pretty wonderful job in the graphics sector after taking a look at the N64 version and remaking in for the Nintendo DS version, and I do got to say, this is a pretty great progress that they have taken with this one game, especially going from a console to a handheld, is quite amazing as well, and it's not just the main game that I really like about, it's also the graphics in the mini-games, pretty well done for this game, and got a lot of details into each and everyone of those games in that list, the background, the foregrounds and a lot of other interesting things with the graphics is just amazing, I love how the graphics turned out in this game.
With how the graphics turned out, even for a handheld system, I give this a prefect 10 out of 10

The Sound/Music:
The sound and the music hasn't very much changed from the Nintendo 64 version, in fact, it's very simular in a way, so I'm not going to say a whole lot into the Sound/Music sector, but I car refresh your memory about the Sound/Music in this game. The sound in this game is very nice, I just really like the outdoor sounds of the birds chirping and the other sound effects in the game like the jumping and the moving around is really nice as well, as for the Music, personally the music in this game is also really a nice touch as well and I think this game has the best music in the whole game like in each of the levels you do, they all have that unique sound played , but other than that, that's all I got to say about the Sound/Music.
Since nothing much was changed from the original Nintendo 64 game, I give this a 9 out of 10
----
The Addiction Level:
The addiction level is really high, like I mentioned above in the intro, if you love playing Super Mario 64, but you're no where near the television, then you just get your DS out and pop in this game and then you're playing Super Mario 64 on to-go. Personally I am really addicted to Super Mario 64, so in a way, this makes me really addicted to this game as well, since it's pretty much the same game on to-go, just with a lot of newer features which I'll get to in the Depth later on in the review, but other than that I got to say with the addiction level on this game.
With the ties with the original game for on to-go, I'll give this a perfect 10 out of 10.

The Story:
The story starts out that Princess Peach has made a cake for Mario and invites Mario and the crew (Luigi and yes, even Wario), but it was a trap set by Bowser who happens to hire some minions to kidnap Mario, Luigi, and Wario, and after that all happened, Yoshi, who was sleeping at the time and waked up, didn't realized on what's going on until a Lakitu told that the guys haven't returned yet and getting a little worried, so Yoshi finds a key to the castle (because Bowser locked it) and goes in to figure on what's going on, and thus, your quest begins to save not just Mario, Luigi, and Wario, but also restoring the castle's stars that were lost as well. Once you happen to receive a certain number of stars, you can go battle Bowser (as Mario though) and bring the castle back to normal once again and Peach gives the guys a little reward for restoring the castle once again.
For this story, although some parts of it is related to that remake from Super Mario 64, but the rest of it is all new to the game, I give this a 9 out of 10
----
The Depth:
The Depth does introduces a lot of new things and a lot of returning things from Super Mario 64, some of the newer things added into this game is that you can be able to control 4 different characters (Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, and Wario) and certain starts you got to get you got to use a certain character to be able to accomplish the goal, and it's not just the characters that makes this differient from the Super Mario 64 version, but also the many mini-games you can also try, but you first have to capture some rabbits in order to unlock those games, but once you do, you'll have a whole lot of games to choose from as well.
With everything you can possibly do within this game, I give this a 9 out of 10
----
The Difficulty:
The difficulty doesn't change that much than from Super Mario 64, you got the same number of enemies, and you got pretty much the same things to do with the exception of a new challenge and also with controlling 4 different characters, they can really change the progress of the game like if you want some strengh, go with Wario, if you want more air and hang-time, go with Luigi, or want more speed, go with Mario, so it depends on how you're playing the level will tell on how hard the level will be, although you have to be Mario when you battle Bowser in the final though, and he can be pretty tough to beat at first, but once you're used to it, it won't be as bad that you first battled him.
With a pretty good Difficulty, I give this an 8 out of 10.

Overall:
Overall, I got to say that this game is really amazing, I 100% recommend this game if you have a Nintendo DS and happen to like Super Mario 64 because like I said, this is Super Mario 64 on to-go, so you can take your Super Mario 64 adventures wherever you happen to go which is a nice thing to do if you're bored on the road, at home when your T.V./Consoles being used, or just feel like playing on your DS, nether way, this is a pretty fun game to kill your boredom. and it's not just the remake from the original game, it's all the new features added in as well like 4 characters and also all those mini-games you can also try out for yourselves as well, Overall I happen to give this game a 9 out of 10, it is a pretty game to try out if you haven't yet, it's fun and really interesting |
