I had the orginal before, but thanks to me and my penny-pinching, I can only get one. So I ask you, Fungi Forumer's, what should I get? I've been thinking with the port, but is it as good as the 64 version? Are the character/enemy designs improved? Are the graphics better? Worse? Or just about the same? What about new characters? More Stars? New Levels? More Items? Please! I need to know!

Super Mario 64 DS
  • No new main levels, but a few more secret levels.
  • ]more stars.
  • The characters are about the same, but there are a few changes.
  • The graphics are much better
  • Many new Items
  • Four more additional characters

Super Mario 64
  • Much cheaper
  • The controls are better than the DS version (although a DS lite will make the DS version control almost on par with the original)
The Verdict
If you have a DS lite, get the DS version, no questions asked. If you have an old DS, I would still recommend the DS version, unless you despise the DS control pad and can not use it at all.

Obviously, you should get both.
It's kind of one of those things though, that it's harder to play the original once you experience the much better controls of the revamped version.
SM64 has terrible control for a game these days, much like Ocarina of Time. It's hard to go back to that level of klunkiness.
That was a joke.

If you've already played SM64, then there's no need to buy it for the Wii Virtual Console (they're the exact same game). So get SM64DS.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Eh, I didn't have many big issues with the the Ds's D-pad over anolog stick controls. The DS's touch screen simulates the Nintendo 64's anolog stick, so if you really hate the D-pad, you can you use the touch screen. SM64DS also has more characters to play as, more stars to collect and more courses to explore. However, none of these extra courses are major levels like the other 15 levels, but it's nice to have something to do after beating all 15 of SM64DS's levels.

Also, SM64 didn't have MultiPlayer. Okay, Multiplayer in SM64DS wasn't big, new, or immensely interesting, but it's still good for some quick, harmless fun for you and your friends. Plus, enhanced graphics are always a plus.

In conclusion: SM64DS is the definate buy. SM64 for the Virtual console is basically the same thing as SM64 for the N64, while SM64DS is a widly improved version of the classic game.

SM64DS.  It has a ton of great minigames.  Control really isn't a problem, either.

SM64DS. More in-depth story, if only a tiny tiny bit, more playable characters (four is mathematically more than one), more stars for a longer quest, better graphics, better sound, portability, and mini games that are actually worth playing. I think that speaks for itself.
I forgot to mention the new white-door-framed room of death. Yay!

I'm curious as to why you consider Mario Kart DS a "kinda port"...
Today's actually... nobody's birthday!  Quick, hurry up and make a baby!

Perhaps because it has many tracks from other games.
