The Definitive Version of Super Mario 64 is the Nintendo DS release from 2004. The original on Nintendo 64 is a classic, however, there are some features in the Nintendo DS version that make it an overall better gameplay experience. Some of these features include better camera flexibility and angles that can be controlled with the touchscreen, more refined graphics and character models, four playable characters with their own abilities and movesets, and a little more content, such as new areas, several minigames, and 30 additional stars. All of these things really add to the challenge and variety of the game.
