At the start of the game, one of the Lakitu Bros. first appears in the sky after [[Princess Peach]]'s [[letter]] to [[Mario]]. He circles the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], then approaches a nearby [[Warp Pipe]], from which Mario emerges, starting the adventure. The hero attempts to head inside the Mushroom Castle but is stopped by another Lakitu, who introduces himself and his partner as the Lakitu Bros. One of the Lakitu Bros. mentions that they are cameramen reporters and will film Mario throughout his adventure as he attempts to retrieve the [[Power Star]]s and rescue the princess, the castle servants, and the world.

It is also mentioned that the Lakitu Bros. will record Mario at a recommended angle, though this angle can be changed through the use of {{button|n64|C}}; that pressing {{button|n64|Cup}} while stationary enables the player to enter first-person view, which can be negated by pressing {{button|n64|A}}; that camera modes can be toggled via the {{button|n64|R}} button; and that there are signs scattered in and around the castle that contain this information. Their explanation finished, one of the Lakitu Bros. leaves, and the other remains to record Mario's adventure.

In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the opening is slightly different. Shortly after Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] go missing, [[Yoshi]] is seen sleeping on the [[Castle Grounds]], and one of the Lakitu Bros. pops the bubble Yoshi is blowing out of his nose to wake him up and tells him the heroes have gone missing. After hearing the news, Yoshi tries to enter the castle, but the doors are locked. As Yoshi turns around, the Lakitu Bro reappears and tells him that a [[rabbit]] took the [[key]] and that Yoshi should find it, and gives him a map to use on his adventure. After catching the rabbit, Yoshi enters the castle.
