Dan Abramson of the Huffington Post writes: "The internet is filled with videos re-imagining 'Super Mario Bros.,' but this one seriously struck a chord. I think I may have cried while watching this. Yes, that's right. A video that dramatically cuts together clips of Mario was so inspirational that it reduced me to tears. Hell, Mario wasn't just plucking on my heart strings here, he was strumming away."
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
I saw this video ages ago. Still awesome though.
That was..... beautiful.
that....was....awesome
That song is just so touching, but for anyone who has actually played all of those games since childhood, there really is something special going on here. When I watched it, I was just flooded with so many good memories from my childhood. I can see why the guy said he almost cried, but you'd really have to have grown up with Mario to get it. It's kind of like seeing your life flash before your eyes.
Nintendo should watch this...
