Super Mario 64 DS: Difference between revisions

Princess Peach writes a [[letter]] to Mario, telling him to come to [[Peach's Castle|her castle]] because she baked a [[cake]] for him. This letter is assumed to be a clever forgery from Bowser, who guesses that Mario and his friends would come looking and so employs [[Koopa Troop|his minions]] to capture them beforehand.

Mario arrives outside the castle through a [[Warp Pipe]], followed by Luigi and Wario. The three then make their way to the castle entrance. Yoshi is seen asleep on the roof the entire time, only to be awakened by one of the [[Lakitu Bros.]], who reveals that the others have not returned yet; immediately, Yoshi decides to locate them.

|rowspan=3|Mario is trapped behind a door by [[Goomboss]] and is required to complete the game without the use of [[glitch]]es, since he is the only one who can enter the final Bowser [[level]], [[Bowser in the Sky]]. Using Yoshi from the starting point in the castle, the player should go up the stairs to the right 1-[[★ door]]. The player should go straight to the next door, go through the [[Goomboss Battle|8-★ door, and hop into the Mario painting]]. The player has to locate Goomboss by jumping into a hollow tree stump at the highest point of the level into a spot marked "X" on the map, and fight him by spitting Goombas at him for the [[Mario Key]]. The player then has to go back to the princess's room and unlock the "M" switching room to free Mario. Mario's stats in every category are average, and he plays similarly to his ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' self. He has the fastest running speed of the four heroes, and he is tied with Luigi for the highest jump height, making him preferred on certain timed segments. Mario is the only character who can perform the [[Wall Jump|wall kick]]. His Power Flower ability is [[Balloon Mario]], which lets him float to normally unreachable distances. Mario is also the only character who can access the item called "[[Wing Cap|Wings]]," turning him into [[Wing Mario]], which also allows him to reach greater heights by [[fly]]ing.

|alt1=Mario Key

Three [[key]]s are used to unlock [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]]. They are obtained after boss battles. [[Mario Key|Mario's key]] is obtained once [[Goomboss]] is defeated, [[Luigi Key|Luigi's key]] is obtained once [[King Boo]] is defeated, and [[Wario Key|Wario's key]] is obtained once [[Chief Chilly]] is defeated.

The following table displays information regarding each course, the [[Power Star]]s found within each course, how to get the Stars, and what character is required to obtain the Stars. During some missions, the player can find a cap of another character that transforms them into the character that owns the respective cap. The number of caps in a course varies and is based on which characters have been rescued, with few exceptions. Yoshi does not have a cap but is able to choose from the rescued characters' before selecting a mission. When the player's coin meter reaches 100 for the first time in a particular course, a bonus Power Star appears, making a total of eight Power Stars available in each course. If one of the characters receives a Power Star and redoes the mission, the Power Star appears as blue and does not add to the total.

When the last one is caught, the player is given a key that unlocks the last room in the character-selection area. Inside this room is the Power Star. If the player goes into the room after the Power Star is collected, Boos are heard laughing, and the player character simply exits the room and groans.

[[File:SM64DS Dark World Star 2.png|thumb|Mario fighting Bowser in Bowser in the Dark World]]

Bowser is fought in three courses, each of which is behind a [[Big Star Door]], and a certain number of [[Power Star]]s is required to open the doors. Big Star Doors can be opened only with Mario, though once one is opened, any character can enter the door. The only exception to this is the Big Star Door leading to the final Bowser course; if any character other than Mario enters it, that character is brought to the [[endless stairs]] instead.

 

The following is a list of Bowser's subversive worlds and the number of Power Stars required to access them:

*[[Bowser in the Dark World]] – 12 Power Stars

*[[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] – 30 Power Stars to open the Big Star Door, and the [[Board Bowser's Sub|first Power Star]] from [[Dire, Dire Docks]]

*[[Bowser in the Sky]] – 80 Power Stars
