    jp's GameLog for Super Mario 64 DS (DS)

    Wednesday 29 March, 2006

    After suffering a lot on the last level I've finally been able to defeat Bowser and rescue Princess Peach. (yay for me!)

    The last level was particularly annoying due to a series of factors, each one, by itself isn't necesarrilly that big a deal. But, together? Oh man.

    1. The last level is really far away from the starting point.
    2. The last level is really hard. (you'll probably have to try it a few times)
    3. You have to play with Mario (my last saved game was with Wario, and you can't save at any moment...so whenever I started I had to switch Wario for Mario and then head up to the last level...I eventually decided to get an 81st star with Mario just to get a chance to save and be able to save the character-switch)
    4. The last level is rather lengthy.

    The whole point is that I had to resort to some wacky tactics in order to actually win the game. It would usually take me an entire morning commute (20 mins) to get to the Bowser level....but then I'd normally turn of the DS. So, I left it on, all day, in order to save the state so that on my commute home I could try to beat Bowser. Sigh. (and yes, I left it plugged in to the wall)

    Annoying, yes.

    But, while I'm glad I can move on to another game I do have to say that it is rather fun. It's not perfect, sometimes the camera is VERY annoying. Also, the control scheme, while taking some getting used, is still a bit wonky at times. Almost a little unresponsive. I can't keep track of the number of times I died because Mario ran when I wanted to walk or stuff like that. In all, however, it's a good game.
