Super Mario 64 DS is an enhanced remake of the 1996 Super Mario 64 and one of the launch titles for the Nintendo DS. This remake features various new characters, levels, modes of play and minigames, much of which takes advantage of the features of the DS system.


During June and July of 2005, Super Mario 64 DS was included free with the purchase of an "Electric Blue" Nintendo DS system in North America. Many retailers also honored the deal with the original "Titanium" DS


When the Nintendo DS was first revealed, Super Mario 64 DS was an early production demo, thought to be a port of the original on the Nintendo 64. It was later confirmed as a Nintendo DS release game. In its early stages, the game was called Super Mario 64x4 (hence the four player wireless part of the game).
