Super Mario 64 The genre-defining Nintendo 64 classic, arrives on the Nintendo DS with allnew features that take full advantage of the new portable system’s dual screens, touch screen and wireless multiplayer capability. Each of the four main characters has multiple jumping moves that cover great horizontal and vertical distances. Each has unique moves: Yoshi can eat enemies and turn them into eggs that he can throw; Mario can punch, kick and wall-jump to great heights; super-strong Wario can break certain blocks; and Luigi can jump incredibly high. Power Flowers give each character even cooler powers, like invisibility, fire breath or the power to float through the air. Answering an invitation, Mario, Luigi and Wario set out for a royal party with Princess Peach. When they arrive at the castle, though, they find it strangely empty. Meanwhile, Yoshi awakes from a rooftop nap to find the castle eerily silent, with Mario, Luigi and Wario nowhere to be seen. Yoshi soon discovers that Bowser has pilfered the castle’s Power Stars and imprisoned the Toads in the castle’s immense collection of paintings. It’s up to the dynamic dino to figure out what happened to Mario, Luigi and Wario and save the day.
