Mario 64 DS is superior to Mario 64 and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

shit physics

fuck you nigger
ya bitch ass nigger

>Game designed around analog stick
>Forced to use the shitty d-pad
It was rigged from the start

You're not wrong, but this is a completely uphill battle with people that played entirely too much mario 64 and any and all qualitative measures for them are "How much is it not Mario 64 with the shitty fucking n64 controller I lie to myself is actually the best controller ever"

Le shit?

Cope. Mario DS is shit and will always be shit.

It killed any chance of an actual proper remaster. 3D movement on a d-pad sucks let alone on a touchscreen and the game is so low poly it might as well basically be a glorified romhack.

if they didnt gimp all the characters so that youd have to change them midcourse it couldve been. I'd like it better if you could just play as any of them from start to finish after you unlock them all instead of the shitty hat gimmick.
Not to mention the dpad controls, worse sounding audio, graphics looking worse even though they were technically better due to the DS having no texture filtering, and forgettable additions to the main game.
Minigames were great tho.

I agree with this but only hecause waluigi has such a good move set

You're projecting because the truth that the original mario 64 is mediocre is too painful to deal with, and the gimmick of being one of the first analog controlled games didn't actually add that much to it.

I remember playing as waluigi too but he was never in the game in this timeline user. Welcome to the mandella effect.

If the original game is mediocre than so is the DS version outside of gimping mario's moveset into 3 other characters because it's literally the same fucking game. Cope.

I don’t know why people complain about the controls, it’s not like 64 isn’t clunky as hell just to move around

>Gimping mario's moveset onto 3 characters
Only thing there is power flower transformations, mario can still do all the mario things, and easy to acquire caps programmed to appear in areas you'd need those power flower abilities solve the issue of "needing to swap"

the day mario art direction went to shit

it's got 8 way movement only which is worse than n64

superior is the wrong word methinks, but it's not bad by any means and you'd be a fool not to play it on a DS/3DS
