Super Mario 64 DS, Not Just a Port

Originally when shown at E3 Super Mario 64x4 (as it was known then) was basicly a port of Super Mario 64 with Multi-player. The newer version that we will be seeing on the 21st will be a much different game. Each character now has different abilities (such as Yoshi being able to jump further), and each character will use hats differently. The different character abilities reminds me of Super Mario Bros 2, but hopefully better executed. Not only are there different hats, but also new items all together, such as the mushroom which makes you big and invincible for a certain amount of time. Many things in this game have changed such as more stars. There are now 150 stars in the game opposed to the 130 in the original. This game will also have many new minigames which will help incorporate the stylus and other DS features. Also certain characters have to get certain stars to give the game a variety. New levels, new characters, new hats, new items, and new stars this is far more than a port and will be worth the $30.
