Yoshi is seen asleep on the roof the entire time, only to be awakened by one of the Lakitu Bros., who reveals that the others have not returned yet immediately, Yoshi decides to locate them. The three then make their way to the castle entrance. Mario arrives outside the castle through a Warp Pipe, followed by Luigi and Wario. This letter is assumed to be a clever forgery from Bowser, who guesses that Mario and his friends would come looking and so employs his minions to capture them beforehand. Princess Peach writes a letter to Mario, telling him to come to her castle because she baked a cake for him.
NINTENDO DS MARIO SERIES
Super Mario 64 DS is the first and so far the only game of the Super Mario series where Wario is playable. Unlike in Super Mario 64, Mario is not the only playable character (nor is he even available at the start) Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario become playable characters and join the adventure to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser.
Like the original game, Super Mario 64 DS was released as a launch title. The game is an enhanced remake of the Nintendo 64 game Super Mario 64, bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay, and graphics.
It is the first Mario game to be released for the Nintendo DS and also the first 3D Mario game for a handheld console. The game has sold nearly 30 million copies to date, making it the highest performing Nintendo DS entry and one of the most successful Mario games of all time.Super Mario 64 DS (originally known as Super Mario 64 × 4 during development ) is a 2004 game from the Super Mario series made for the Nintendo DS. Additionally, features from 3D Mario games such as the ground pound, the wall jump and the triple jump also make an appearance. The game contains familiar power-ups, like the Super Mushroom, the Fire Flower and the Starman, along with new items like the Mini-Mushroom, the Mega Mushroom and the Blue Koopa Shell. Mario must travel through the Mushroom Kingdom in order to rescue the princess.
In 2006, Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros. In almost all cases, the goal is to navigate the titular character through various levels or worlds, each of which concludes with a castle or dungeon and a boss fight. Similar gameplay, reoccurring characters and power-ups link the games of the main Mario series. The game takes place in the mythical Mushroom kingdom and stars Mario as he attempts to save Princess Peach from an antagonistic, anthropomorphized turtle named Bowser. In 1985, Miyamoto produced the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game Super Mario Bros. In certain advertisements, Jumpman was named Mario, after the landlord of Nintendo of America's offices, and the name stuck. As his name suggests, the character completed levels by jumping over barrels and climbing ladders to rescue the Lady kidnapped by Donkey Kong. Created by Shigeru Miyamoto in 1981, Mario first appeared as the protagonist Jumpman in Donkey Kong. The franchise further includes television shows, a live-action movie, comics, and promotional materials. While the Mario series mainly features platform adventures, often involving the safe rescue of Princess Peach, it also includes role-playing, puzzle, racing, and educational games. The character Mario appears in over 200 games on every Nintendo console ever made, and in the 1990s, a survey discovered more children recognized Mario than Mickey Mouse. Mario is the most popular video game franchise of all time, selling over 260 million games worldwide.
