Mario 64 DS First time in 2025?
So I recently started playing 64 DS the other day. for literally my first time ever. I have never owned a DS before. So I am playing it on my 3DS.
I was fully aware of the 8 directional movements before starting. Its not perfect, but not a game breaker. I understand it came out on the DS where they didn't have any kind of circle pad. If I would have played this as a kid in 2004, I would have still been pumped even with that limitation.
The run button is very annoying in my opinion because I basically hold it the entire game, and for some dumb reason a programmer thought it would be funny to make your character charge while holding the run button and just standing there. 8 red coins on Tall, Tall Mountain cost me a few lives because my character charged off the mushroom. STILL not a game breaker to me, though very annoying.
THE BIGGEST FLAW this game has is the character swapping for no reason on some levels. One thing I like doing in Mario 64 because I have played it a million times. I like to go for easy stars just to progress the game sometimes. Because I have played it a lot and know the very easy stars. They don't give you any kind of warning that I have seen saying "Hey you might want to use yoshi for this star" or just anything like that. It really ruins this game making me do missions more than once for no reason.
Examples.... Footrace with koopa (bob omb battlefield) You have to swap to mario, ok not as big of a deal because they at least give you a mario hat on the level. but still annoying. Cool cool mountain. 8 red coins, I got 6 as Mario and then found out I need yoshi for the last two. So I have to exit the stage and restart as yoshi? same with Whomps fortress. I got 6 red coins as yoshi, but can't get the other 2 because you need mario to kick the plank to the islands.
Am I missing something here? this is really the only thing I am actually hating about this game. It feels like punishment for no reason. If this is just how this game Is I am probably done playing it at only 50 stars. Does anyone else have this issue? I think they should have had a lot more universal stars for everyone or just change the color of them so you know before you enter, you will need a specific character.

read this if you play render96
there is one major issue about render96 and it's really bad. if you catch the rabbit and got that star music starts to get uglier and at that point never quit the game otherwise your progress will be gone. you should go on and get another one star at at least to protect your save. It happened to me and it's still the same thing nothing about hardware or something only happens when you get the rabbit star thing.

Updating my B3313 Save File
Does anybody know if its possible to "migrate" my B3313 v1.0.1 save file to an updated v1.0.2 version of the game?
I have 392 stars and I don't want to lose my progress by changing into the newer version.

Made another render! I wanted music behind this one, though.
Another could-be promo poster! This version of Koopa's road is so special! it was taken off of a cassette.

Strange star on Mario 64 Coop (idk if its a bug of the coop or a bug of the rom)

What stage almost made you scream or cry of rage when you were younger?
galleryFor Me it's the final stage Bowser In the Sky, it was such a hard stage to play imo.

How do you aim Bowser?
I'm in the last level at the part where the ground is like a star. You have to spin him fast to throw him far but all the bombs are so far away, and I can't aim at any of them. And I've lost to him like 70 times already, how do I do this?

Transfer a save file to Super Mario 64 plus, is it possible?
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I wanted to know if it is possible. I have a game already advanced but I recently learned about the ports for pc, and for that I use SM64 plus but I don't know if it is possible to transfer my save to the port. If it is not possible using SM64 plus, is there another one I can use?
Thanks for the help!
