Super Mario 64 DS: Difference between revisions

*In standard mode, the chosen character is controlled with the Control Pad. The stylus can also be used in Standard Mode. Jump is {{button|dsnds|B}}; punching, kicking, and sticking out Yoshi's tongue is {{button|dsnds|A}}; and dashing is {{button|dsnds|Y}}. The {{button|dsnds|R}} button is used for crouching, while {{button|dsnds|L}} handles the camera together with the {{button|dsnds|Pad}} Control Pad. Additionally, if the player presses and holds {{button|dsnds|B}} and presses {{button|dsnds|A}}, the player will wall kick (if playing as Mario). Compared to ''Super Mario 64'', where Mario was moving as fast as the player tilted the {{button|n64|Stick}} of the Nintendo 64 controller, the characters in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' move much more slowly when the running button is not pressed.

*In touch mode, the character is controlled by having the player move their thumb or the {{button|dsnds|Stylus}}stylus across the touch screen. By using the thumb or stylus, the character's speed can be adjusted by the player in a manner similar to what was possible with the Nintendo 64's Control Stick. Jumping, crouching, and kicking are still executed with the buttons.

*In two hand mode, the character is controlled with the stylus, and jumping, kicking, and crouching are done by utilizing either the buttons (for left-handed players) or the {{button|dsnds|Pad}} Control Pad (for right-handed players). The movement radius is larger with this control option, and all camera adjustments are done with the touch screen as well. The {{button|dsnds|L}} and {{button|dsnds|R}} buttons are not used.

On the [[Nintendo 3DS]], however, the {{button|3ds|Stick}} makes for a more authentic feel of using the Control Stick, making for better and easier controls. However, the player will still need to press {{button|dsnds|Y}} to run and can still only move in eight different directions.

To complete the game, the player needs to find the three plumbers who where locked behind doors by Bowser's Allies:

|'''Speed''' || 32/3

|Balloon Mario has the ability to float in a puffed out formation of the stomach to reach high places. The player must press {{button|dsnds|B}} to rise, while moving in a different direction with the D-Pad. Mario will begin to descent when no buttons are pressed. The ability will cancel if the player presses {{button|dsnds|R}} during flight. The effect will wear off by itself after a short amount of time.

|In this form, Luigi has the ability to become invisible and is able to pass through solid matter. The player can control Luigi as normal. Vanish Luigi is not immune to [[lava]], quick sand and drowning. The ability will wear off within a short amount of time.

|Yoshi's fiery breath has the ability to melt ice and roast enemies. Players use {{button|dsnds|A}} to make Yoshi breathe the fire, which temporarily replaced his lick attack. Yoshi is given a time limit which restricts the time given to breathe fire. This ability can also be reached with a bonfire, found in snowy courses such as [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]. However, this will only give Yoshi one fire breath before the ability is canceled itself by a short amount of time.

*When the player puts on the Mario cap for the first time, the game states that the player must press {{button|dsnds|A}} to do the [[Wall Jump|wall jump]]. This is incorrect, as the player must press {{button|dsnds|B}} to wall jump.

*If the player presses {{button|dsnds|B}} in the title screen, a full color shadow appears instead of ink.
