The paintings present in the castle are portals that lead to other worlds, where the stars are being guarded by Bowser’s minions. To recover the stars Mario enters the other worlds through the portals that have been thoroughly searched by him. Recovering more stars Mario gains access to more and more rooms, leading to three ferocious battles with Bowser, who finally releases the Princess Peach after he’s defeated in the final battle.

The all new Super Mario 64 DS has been rejuvenated with several features like dual screen, touch screen and capability for wireless multiplayer. Many new stages, puzzles and characters have been introduced in the new Super Mario 64 DS game. The newly introduced characters in the game have their own advantages and disadvantages which can be kept in mind while using them to collect the hidden 150 Power Stars in the castle as the game progresses. This newly introduced game is highly adventurous and is equipped with top screen display for primary action and the bottom screen for mini-challenges. The Super Mario 64 DS also features control functionality and a radar screen for battles. With the presence of the Wireless Versus mode the player can battle three friends in only one DS Game Card.
