Great fun to play and has lots of lasting appeal

User Rating: 9 | Super Mario 64 DS DS
Characters: 8.9/10 – along with the original Mario, comes Luigi, Wario and Yoshi. This gives players a chance to play as one of their favourite characters other than Mario. Each character has a special move. Players must finish somewhat hard challenges to unlock them.

Graphics: 8.7/10 – the graphics in this game are exactly the same as the N64 game which this game is based on.

Sounds: 9/10 – the sounds in the game are pretty nice and this game’s noises are pretty realistic. The background music could use some work and some of the voices are annoying.

Gameplay: 9.5/10 – the game is quite fun and baddies aren’t too hard to beat. The things that kill you the most in this game are the parts of the courses (i.e. lava, quicksand, whirlpools, falling off cliffs etc.).

Lasting appeal: 9/10 – with multiplayer, the rec room and other modes this game can be enjoyed for years past its release.

OVERALL: 9/10
Verdict: Quite fun and has plenty of amusing modes and is worth your money.
