Super Mario 64 DS Deluxe is a remake of ***Super Mario 64 DS*** for the Nintendo 3DS.

## Story

Princess Peach writes a letter to Mario, telling him to come to her castle because she baked a cake for him. This letter is supposedly to be a clever forgery from Bowser, who guesses that Mario and his friends would come looking and so employs his minions to capture them beforehand.

Mario arrives outside the castle through a Warp Pipe, followed by Luigi, Wario, Toad, and Waluigi. The three then make their way to the castle entrance. Yoshi is seen asleep on the roof the entire time, only to be awakened by one of the Lakitu Bros., who reveals that the others have not returned yet; immediately, Yoshi decides to locate them.

Yoshi tries to enter the castle, but the doors are locked. The Lakitu Bro says that he saw a rabbit with the key in his mouth. After Yoshi grabs the rabbit, the rabbit gives up the key to him. When Yoshi finally goes inside, he hears a voice from Bowser telling him, "Welcome. No one's home! Now scram--and don't come back! Gwa ha ha!" A Toad informs Yoshi that Bowser and his army have kidnapped Peach and stolen the Power Stars. He also concludes the last time he saw the heroes is when they jumped into the Bob-omb painting. Yoshi then decides to investigate. Eventually, Yoshi starts collecting Power Stars, rescuing Mario, Luigi, Wario, Toad, and Waluigi along the way, and the four continue to collect the Power Stars in order to save Peach from Bowser.

There are alternate endings for Super Mario 64 DS. Depending on which characters the player saves, they may or may not appear during the ending. Mario and Yoshi are always present in the ending. For each alternate ending, a different cake is awarded, featuring the characters that appeared in the ending as the cake figures. If the player does not drain the moat, then it does not appear as if it were drained. Also, if the player does not finish Snowman's Lost His Head on Cool, Cool Mountain, then the snowman's body is not seen in the ending.

## Gameplay

### Character Selection

To switch between characters, there are three doors in the princess's room, each symbolizing the character's first letter of his name. To use him, the player must go through the door, and the corresponding character comes out of the door. Unlike in ***Super Mario 64 DS***, reentering the door of the character currently selected will do absolutely nothing as Yoshi has his own door this time. There are six doors in total.

## Characters

In order to fully complete the game, the player needs to find three unlockable characters, who were trapped behind doors by Bowser. The following table below shows how good each character is in a certain stat. Each has his own special abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. The instruction booklet shows each character's stats and indicates his abilities with stars. However, it omits the rating for swimming speed and does not account for differences in physics that affect the stats. Mario, for example, has a higher top running speed than Luigi. Additionally, each character has different air speeds; Mario's jumps are higher than Yoshi's (most notably his triple jump), and Mario also moves farther forward, tied with Luigi. There are three characters which are Toad, Waluigi, and Daisy
