[@char7490]

@@jasonbrown467 You’re not wrong that “smart” phones existed before that but they weren’t in the modern form we see today. They didn’t have the same blueprints that the iPhone gave us to kickstart actual smartphones. They had resistive touch needing a stylus, really underpowered CPUs, installing apps wasn’t as centralised and easy because there was no App Store. Plus the UI wasn’t intuitive and easy for the average consumer to use. The foundations were definitely there but it wasn’t enough to be considered a smart phone yet. Sure you could browse the internet, play games, and call people but its still very limited.

This is MY mario 64. I’ve been playing it every once and a while, and I’m finally trying to finish it. My idiotic 5 year old self never figured out how to unlock Luigi or Wario, and I never beat the game. Kinda funny if you ask me! I need to finish it soon... This is the definitive edition of Mario 64. In my opinion: the only edge the original has is the speed running community, as well as being the origin of 3D Mario. DS absolutely updated it in every way possible. Small critique: all characters can use the hats and the wing. The only exception here for the first one is that no other character is yoshi besides Yoshi. The wing can be used by everybody tho.

[@awol9588]

Actually only mario can use the wing unless you're playing the multi-player versus mode, but yeah, he didn't make it clear that the bros and Wario can turn into other players using caps except they can't turn into yoshi.

[@Markiplier2]

I had to look up how to get Luigi + Wario online. The text-based (yes, _text-based_ ) guides I used told me to "push against the mirror" to find King Boo so that I could unlock Weegee, but didn't tell me which mirror. Spent longer than I should've in the Snowman's Land room.

This was the first video game I ever played, ever. It took me years to complete 100%, since I not only had to learn how to play and get good at the game, but games in general. I took it with me EVERYWHERE, and it took the help of all my friends to finally beat the game. It’s still one of my most treasured childhood moments. When my little brother turned about four or five (the age I was when I started playing), I reluctantly gave him my copy of the game, along with my original grey DS, so he could make some of the same memories I had made. It was a really touching Toy Story 3-like moment, until four days later he flushed it and the DS down his school’s toilet.

It brings back memories, one thing you didn't touch on was the battle game you play with friends, a thing most overlooked but brings back memories of me and my seventh grade friends playing it in the school library. If you're playing the game like he says always using Yoshi is best as there's almost always a hat if needed.

[@waffles8144]

The nes, snes, and n64 were actually my first consoles despite it being around the GameCube/Wii era. The original super Mario world and Mario 64 were some of the first games I ever played. But for some reason I feel more nostalgia for the ds version of Mario 64.

[@ruarstergaming1695]

Man this game was my childhood. It’s just like you said. This game is my image for Mario 64 and I’m so glad to see a KZbin reviewer not crap on it because it’s not the original. Surprised you didn’t talk about the controls more considering there is less analogue movement due to the way it’s programmed. Since it was programmed with a dpad in mind the game makes you snap to 8 directions instead of the 360 movement of the original. Even if you use a circle pad on 3ds or wii u it is still not programmed for 360 movement. That never bothered me but I do realise it’s a valid complaint. Great video Jirard!

After school, on car rides, whenever I could really. I enjoyed it a lot to the point where I ended up completing the game not once, not twice, but over ELEVEN times. All that said, I really enjoy both versions for their own reasons.

This game to me is the pinnacle of mobile gaming. It’s literally a full console game and then some with decent graphics and great controls and it all runs and loads so smoothly. I used to play this every day when I was a kid, I would hide it under my bed and when mom told me to go to sleep I would turn the volume down and stay up late playing it and I always had it in the car anywhere we went. There are other good mobile games but nothing quite of this caliber

[@Supercatandrewman]

Yeah this is honestly the one I grew up with and I freaking loved it!

[@LycanLink]

Those minigames were actually pretty fun, especially with multiplayer, and New Super Mario Bros added even more awesome multiplayer minigames! :D

[@Isaac_E_M]

I was born in 2003 and my favourite game of all time is SM64DS

[@little_goose]

oh jeez man, i played those mini games for HOURS! probably almost more than the normal game lol

[@rayminishi689]

Nothing will change my mind on preferring this over the original. More content is always FTW. Those controls are meh, then again, the N64 joystick was rugged and the game's camera stunk.

[@mrcolegreat3595]

I'll never forget playing those mini games on the school bus back in the day

[@Plantster15]

This was the first mario game I ever had on my shitty old DS. I loved it and I would always play the luigi minigames in the rec rooms because those are objectively the best minigames.

[@cerisejaxel9636]

Love that you used some Donkey Kong County 2 music! Though I’d played the SNES Mario games, this was my first 3D video game experience. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t realize it was a remake for a while. At the time, I was crazy about Yoshi in Super Mario World. Playing as him was something I never thought I’d see, so that was personally something special. Your videos are always a gift Jirard!

[@jacobjett8227]

I'm yoshi player when it comes to this game. you only need to unlock the other characters to unlock yoshi's potential...and those damn rabbits.

[@JamienautMark2]

God I wish they made a version with better controls. I grew up with this game and can’t go back to it without just playing the original. But playing as the new characters and new bosses is so good.

[@Castcoder]

17:29 This statement did not age well.

[@Boltizar49]

Mario 64 is my Christmas game. I always think of Snowman’s Land when I think of the holidays. Every December I try to make time to complete it start to finish and that started with Super Mario 64 DS. Game’s good. Real good. Maybe next year I dig out the DS version and give that a shot again.

[@Kanoshem]

Who's watching this now, just before the 3d collection for switch drops

[@nikopogo1]

"Nintendo don't want to repeat themselves" New Super Mario Bros. series:Allow me to introduce myself.

[@spacekook3315]

This is the version that should have been in the 3D all stars collection

[@AzmiAb]

Agreed. Hopefully you get to choose which remastered visuals to play with at least.

[@atomic-art]

Space Dandy why should it? Its embracing the beginning of 3d mario

[@Reshi9984]

“They don’t want to repeat themselves.” *Laughs in NSMB*

[@Operation_Bagel]

And in Mario 3D All Stars. The same 3 games with no changes

[@EmSee360]

NSMB DS an Wii are actually good though.

[@AndresLionheart]

I don't know, man. I couldn't get into this version back in the day. I played it for a while but dropped it a few days after, I didn't like switching characters and the new stuff for some reason. Maybe I'm just biased toward Mario 64.

[@MrCupcakescankill99]

I got this back in the day and I 100% agree. Why should I have to have this unnecessary mechanic where you change characters to get to areas that would have normally been accessible with just mario last game. It just complicates things

[@aquilonthepro8319]

As someone who played the DS version 1st and then the original on a friend's console, I can totally see why the change was so jarring.

[@Mormegil452]

Also.....I didn't liked the less than PS1 level of graphics.

[@RiverOfTheHeart]

The look of the touch screen and the character icons is the most nostalgic thing about this game for me for some reason lol

[@PhrozenFox]

"This is how Mario 64 will be remembered going forward" Nah.

[@gamermapper]

@@autobotstarscream765 *no* ! Here's how SM64 will be remembered! kzbin.info/aero/PLmvvhlevqC2d6vis077yFHuLJHYtTtqe_

[@radicalbrad1066]

This was my favorite games as a kid and is still one of my all time favorites.

[@bellowingsilence]

They made the game mostly better... in theory. Unfortunately, the game relied on so much precision platforming in a 3D space that the downgraded control scheme throws a wrench into the whole experience.

[@elecboy5126]

I recall lining up the camera so I could do each jump while holding forward. Whether that’s a negative is up to you, but Yoshi did make platforming more accessible

[@brondabailey1]

It's weird that it didn't get brought up in his review at all.

[@thepenguinwithagun7145]

I lived breathe and played this game for my childhood
