Mario 64 Speedrunner reacts to DS Version Speedrun. However, instead of Simply reacting, I'm going to be speedrunning Mario 64 DS! SM64 speedrunning has been a huge part of the channel, but I've never played Super Mario 64 DS. I've never done Super Mario 64 DS minigames before or have gotten a Super Mario 64 DS world record. What remains the same from SM64 Nintendo 64 edition to the DS edition? Let's find out by speedrunning SM64 DS version!

The DS version of 64 means a lot to me, it's like one of the first ds games I remember playing. I can't remember much about the content besides the glass spheres (which you showed in the video) but I still don't think i've completed the game yet.

I always appreciated how much imagination was in this game. It wasn't ever trying to replace the original, but be a completely insane version of it. I always enjoyed having the other characters even if they were a little busted. The DS controls really hold it back especially with the d pad instead of analog controls, and that's honestly a shame because I think it would be tremendously more fun with better controls. Overall, I was always surprised by this game because I thought it would be a lazy port, but it's really so much more than that

Agreed, this game is so much better than its predecessor.

[@tessaPMpro]

@@toxic_revenant3 yeah if you like vastly inferior controls and movement. The movement is one of the main things that made the original so great and the main thing that makes it still just as fun to play today as it was when it released. Same can't be said about the DS version though where the movement is so awful that it makes it not fun to play, there were many great things that were added to the DS version but the movement and controls really hold it back, especially when the movement and controls were so good in the original.

[@Medachod]

@@tessaPMpro I mean, if you mod it, you can emulate the touchscreen analog with a real joystick.

[@tessaPMpro]

@@Medachod even then, I have played it on a 3DS with the analogue and while it does control much better, the movement in the DS version is just inherently bad regardless of whether you're using a D-pad or analogue.

[@Medachod]

@@tessaPMpro Not just the literal aspect of it being a joystick well retaining digital movement. I meant that you can mod it so the touchscreen analog, which is real analog, can be controlled with a joystick and used that way instead of using the thumbpad that you had to use before with the DS to simulate it.

The original DS came with a wrist strap with a thumbpad that while on your thumb allowed pseudo-analog control via the touchscreen. This game and that thumbpad are what convinced me to get a DS to begin with. I have a 3DS in my pocket as I type this. Not sure what hardware you're using but if you have an analog supplement, you can change controls in options and not need the run button.

I'm one of those people who started with the DS version. I tried to play the original a few months ago and it just...it feels weird. Like it misses a lot of modern conveniences, but also trying to do moves feel harder? Like diving and backflips and different to pull off, and I still can't perform a backflip due to disability issues (that's more a persistent issue in every Mario game). Still, I do think the DS version has its own merits. Shame it doesn't get as much love. I'm also amazed how many 64 fans and speedrunners aren't aware of some of the teleports in both games. It's faster to use glitches, but I always used the flowerbed teleport to skip ahead 😅.

I grew up with the DS version. I still play it to this day. It was the first game i got with my DS Lite and i could never complete it when i was little.
