Template:Infobox Super Mario 64 DS (originally Super Mario 64 x 4) is a game from the Super Mario series made for the handheld game system Nintendo DS. The game is a remake of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay and graphics. Unlike Super Mario 64, Mario is not the only playable character; Yoshi, Luigi and Wario enjoy to the adventure in order to rescue Princess Peach from the hands of Bowser. Other new features within include a multi-player mode, where up to four players can play simultaneously on each Nintendo DS connected together locally; mini-games to play on each hero, and new additions to the story mode such as new missions and levels.

Story

Peach writes a letter to Mario, which is apparently seen by both Luigi and Wario, who come in Warp Pipes along with Mario to Peach's Castle to get some cake. Although surprised to see the other two were there, Mario lets it go and the trio start to run up to the castle when Wario bumps into the two. Mario and Luigi stare at him while Wario just chuckles. The three stopped and raced into the castle, when Bowser assumingly ambushes them when they, according to Toad, jumped into the Bob-omb painting to retrieve the Power Stars after Bowser had taken them and captured Princess Peach.

Yoshi was asleep the entire time, only to be awakened by one of the Lakitu Bros.. He was seen on the roof (possibly a reference to Super Mario 64), but somehow ended up in front of the castle when woken, probably carried there by the Lakitu who realized that the red, green, and yellow plumbers hadn't returned to the pipes to leave, and instructed Yoshi to locate them.

Yoshi tries to enter the castle, but the doors are locked. The Lakitu Bro. says that he saw a Rabbit with the key. After swallowing the rabbit, the rabbit gives up the key to Yoshi. When Yoshi finally enters, he hears Bowser's voice telling him "no one's home" and to "scram". Toad tells him Bowser has kidnapped Peach and stolen the Power Stars. He also says the last time he saw the plumbers is when they jumped into the Bob-omb painting. Yoshi decides to investigate.

Template:Spoiler After freeing the other three plumbers from their prisons, the quartet hunts for the rest of the stars. Some of them are hidden so well that Bowser does not even know about them. After collecting at least 80 stars, the player can finally fight Bowser for the final time. Mario ascends a staircase at the top of the castle to face Bowser for the final time. After making it through another one of Bowser's obstacle courses, Mario encounters Bowser and the two battle. Bowser ends up defeated, gives up and hands Mario the Giant Power Star before he explodes. When Mario grabs the final Power Star, wings suddenly appear on his cap allowing him to fly.

Finally, he lands in front of the castle where Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi are waiting for him. As his wings fade away, Mario uses the power of the Power Stars to make Peach appear in front of the castle. All four rush up to her as she wakes up. Thanking them, Peach kisses Mario and says they will make a cake for her heroes. Peach and the plumbers walk into the castle. Yoshi starts to do so himself, but then pauses and turns around to look at the player. Peach calls his name and Yoshi runs in after the four. The credits roll a
