Super Mario 64 DS Review

By Nintenbro0

 
Hi! It is me, Nintenbro0. Today I will be reviewing Super Mario 64 DS! This Review will be on a scale from 1 star to 5 stars! 1=bad, 5=good! This game is rated E and costs $25.00.

Graphics: ***
These are not great. They have good texture but they lack animation. Some Goombas look like they are just floating around! So the graphics get a 3 star count.

Sound: ****
Great sound! But all the grunting from Wario and the outside of the castle song hurts this score because they are so annoying! Plus they needed more fast songs instead of funeral songs! Like in a cave it has this weary, sad song so it gets kinda sad. But at least they have some of the old Mario songs.

Difficulty: *****
It is hard! But not too hard, just perfect! The old N64 game was way harder than this! This had hard levels but they were a lot more confusing than hard. You to randomly guess what to do, and that was awesome, but it hurts the score about a Star. So you could say I'm wrong but try it out, and if you can get all 150 Stars like me, I'm wrong and you win.

Controls: **
This was horrid for me. They had tons of buttons you had to push to play! Like it has A button for jump... You jump but you have to use the control pad to go into this weird direction to land in a perfect spot! Nearly bad controls, so it loses 3 stars for it... but it wins a star also, because you can pick from 3 or 5 button arrangements!

Story: **
This is a big factor in rating. I mean, come on, it has been the same story over and over. Bowser, the king of Koopas, again tries and successfully captures Peach, the princess! At least they added in Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario. They make it like there is barely a story. The only reason Mario even figures this out is because he wanted a cake Peach was making! So he, Wario, and Luigi are captured and put in a room. Yoshi randomly walks over there and tries to save them for no reason.

Levels: ****
The first few levels were really fun and the last couple were fun. Some of the levels were just weird and dumb, but this was, like, 2 levels. I really liked the Bob-omb Battlefield, it may be the very best level. You need to beat Big Bob-omb to win the level! It is really quite fun. In the desert level you get to see some of the coolest places, like a pyramid! So the levels were amazing. The score was only hurt by Bowser’s sub-levels and like 2 or 3 more. The one I suggest really trying is the lava place. I will not spoil this for you but it is very fun!

Characters: *****
Almost every character ever made in Mario was in this game, plus like 30 new ones. It has great characters! Like the eye hands you fight in the desert, they are really cool! And Bowser has great scales and looks really real. I also love the Whomps in the game! They are awesome and strong-looking. King Boo is an amazing example of what kind of characters you can pull off on a DS! This is a huge factor!

Replayability: ***
It is fun to play the levels over and over, but it gets boring over a long period. Once you finish the game you just don't really want to play again. It is just so pointless to play it over and over. I mean, after 150 Stars you've done everything and beat everyone, so it just doesn't seem as fun.

Fun Factor!: ****
This game was really fun, I loved it. I would suggest trying to beat this game at least once just for the thrill of the levels! But the score is hurt by confusion in this game. It really makes you mad! But it is pretty fun, at least for me.

Recommendation:
Overall this game is pretty good. A good 4 stars is about right. If you don't have a DS but you do have an N64, buy the N64 version because it is not worth an entire DS. But it is a game you need to buy if you own a DS.
