This was the first version of Mario 64 I played . . . i feel like a lot of people hate it though, idk why Edit: the controls for the DS Version felt more normal to me than the 64 version, so it's probably just what you played first that influences what controls you like more.

It's funny to see you having problems with the controls. It also saddens me to see this as a ds lover, this was my first experience with mario 64. And after playing 64 on the switch, I'd say that the ds was my favorite way to play it.

Not only is it one of the few 3D Mario games with Yoshi, my favorite character, and you actually get to play as him in 3D, but the added content that wasnt in the original and all the really fun levels and challenges are amazing!! One of my best memories was really enjoying the level to beat Big Boo to get Luigi, with how interesting it was to have to listen for the Boo's laughter. I even had a dream of exploring that area myself once. I fought Big Boo again with Luigi and got a pretty funny response too! Luigi is actually also one of my favorite characters and my other favorite to play as, with how high he can jump and how he floats down! All of that in a nice game for the DS! I still need to beat it though...

There're pros and cons to both versions, though I think the DS version wins out in almost all categories. And I grew up on the N64 version! I'll agree that the controls get a little wonky on DS, but it's mostly just stopping or changing direction when at a slower speed. The amount of times the character moves in a circle instead of just snapping to the new direction costing me a life is too damn high. Otherwise all the improvements are very welcome

Funny story: back in the day, I got this game. I didn't realize it was a remake of a different game. So I was playing it and was just like "this is a fun game." I had no clue. Years later, once I finally picked up on the fact that it was actually a remake, I was kind of intrigued. But after finding out all the differences, I realized that I kind of like this version of the game better, sadly. What is new content for the people who played the original just feels like missing content whenever I get a chance to play the original. It's weird to think that the original SM64 feels like a worse version of this game to people like me who played this version first, while, to fans of the original, this version might seem like a worse (at least in some ways) version of the original game. Anyway, that aside, I'm glad to see you enjoy a game so close to my heart!
