Probably half the time I've spent in this game is on the minigames. My brother literally got over round 700 on Wanted. The Bob-omb slingshot game was my fave, so intense as a kid.
It's sad that he didn't review both of those game's minigames at once since most of them are the same in both games and so it'd be better to rank all in one video
@@gamermapper He also didn't consider the fact that some of those were multiplayer, like none deserved 0 stars with the multiplayer include because you could actually do something
To be honest, I'm still impressed that they were able to fit the entirety of SM64 on the DS with tons of minigames to spare! It was quite the powerplay for 3D handheld gaming at the time.
@@kyandoesanimation1248 Well, yeah, visual presentation was much improved as well as plenty of new content. A whole 30 stars worth! Controls will always be controversial however you slice it.
@@Gustavo-po9bd Nah, I loved it in multiplayer because I could steamroll everybody else. I subsequently turned it into my brother’s least favorite minigame…
I thought the same, so far I haven't found one. I'm thinking about making one myself but I have trouble thinking of something cute to replace the bob-ombs.
People say that Nintendo should bring back Picture Poker, but Nintendo shouldn’t, because then another large group of children will get addicted to gambling like all the kids who played Picture Poker when SM64DS and NSMBDS were new.
Honestly Loves me/Loves me not is kind of iconic and memorable, the blank expression of the flower before it changes to loves me or loves me nor is so ominous
Wanted and sort or splode are literally crack. They're just that addictive. And I actually learned how to play Poker because of picture poker so... Thanks Luigi. I actually agree with this list for the most part. I do like the sound memory game a bit more than the average person because I thnk the idea is neat and I believe some sounds there are unheard in the final game. I only really disagree with coincentration because I'm complete trash at it. Seriously how are you so good?!
I remember playing the Wanted game for literally HOURS and getting my high score into the several 1000s. It was exhausting. I planned to go until I hit a limit (if there was any, I did look it up, but I don't remember if there was one on the New Super Mario Bros. version), but exhaustion made me lose my concentration and I couldn't for the life of me find Luigi anymore until it was too late and time had counted all the way down from 50. It was both sad and relieving that my game ended.
I’ve been there. It was strange how it got easier and easier until (despite nothing changing) it got harder and harder. Made me feel really stupid when I spent a while 50 seconds looking for something that took 1-5 seconds usually.
@@MalloryKnox. Yeah, it’s probably because you get sick of looking, so your motivation starts to slip because it starts to feel like a chore. Not to mention the music and sound effects starts to grate on your ears after hours of hearing it.
I have come to the mortifying realization that I’ve been playing this game since I was, like, 6 years old and I somehow missed a few mini games and have never unlocked them on my COUNTLESS playthroughs! I’ve never seen that pachinko game with the slots in my LIFE
I love these little minigames! Though, I believe New Super Mario Bros. had the definitive selection with multiplayer as an awesome bonus, too. I think that by trimming down the selection, adding new minigames, and graphically overhauling some of the older ones, it really boosted the minigames’ replayability as a whole. I still try to get people to play a round of Speed! every once and a while. It's always tricky for everyone to find the motivation to commit to the DS when we have so many alternative consoles to play, but when the minigames get going, we usually play them for hours.
You could probably do a follow-up with the New Super Mario Bros. DS minigames. Most of the minigames are identical to SM64DS, but some of them have multi-player modes. Some NSMB DS minigames are also Multi-player exclusive too. Just throwing it out there if you want another video idea.
Love seeing a list on one of my favourite childhood games I loved just playing all these mini games mainly on nsmb just love seeing a list I’ve never seen before
I was always so surprised that Loves Me was on the multiplayer mini game selection, because I couldn’t think of how they would turn the single player version into something that’s not just complete random chance. Surprised they even changed it for multiplayer at all.
Those mini-games were always the best part of the DS Mario duology. I didn't have 64 DS growing up, but I did have New Super Mario Bros, and I loved them. It was only later that I found out about 64 DS and how many more mini-games there were. Unlocking those games were my main motivation for finishing the game and I even spent hours trying (and succeeding!) to get characters on top of the castle early to catch the bunnies. The mini-games were amazing in both games and I'm eagerly waiting for the list of New Super Mario Bros. mini-games. I know there's only 2 new regular ones, but I spent a lot of time playing the multiplayer ones so I'm sure there's enough of those to make a list about. Seriously, Loves Me turns into a much better game in multiplayer.
My family used to travel across the country a lot, and I remember playing Wanted! so much. My Mum and I remember how I almost had a panic attack because my DS almost went dead flat and I reached over stage 1000.
I love the ranks you made, just kinda wish you included the mario bros minigames in, just not duplicate minigames to count the unique minigames from both games just so you wouldn't have to make a potential video out of what's only half the minigames on that one. Otherwise, loved the video
Loved these growing up (although I had the NSMB version). A bunch of the same minigames though. Gotta appreciate the extra effort Nintendo put into DS games.
it makes sense that Wario had the best games on average considering the fact that he's got WarioWare under his belt, basically facilitating the fact that he's the minigame king
There’s a super Mario 3 pinball machine that uses the same artwork as the slots game I believe. I found it at an amusement park, and it had a little red text box to display scores. If it wasn’t being played, it would tell you “Mario says: Don’t do drugs.”
I spent an embarrassing amount of time playing the minigames that I kept forgetting to play the actual game itself. I loved every second of it! My favorite game had to be Mario Slides!
I was busy doing something else but once i saw the notification i had to click on this. You said you were struggling with motivation and you are absolutely one of my favorite youtubers, so I always try to show as much support as i can. Love you Silok :)
Funny story about picture poker is that, one time i was playing it in the middle of my grandparents living room and left it downstairs when i left to go upstairs to my room to get something, when i came back i found my DAD inTENTLY playing it, which i think just is a testament to how GOOD that game is since my dad NEVER plays games on modern hardware
I remember getting kind of softlocked on Slots Shot (kind of because you can exit the mini game). When entering the pipe, one of the balls stayed still when pressing the button and never moved, ending the game basically. But I still had a blast with that one
Solid list, only change I would make would be bumping trampoline time to a 5 because it's my favorite minigame tied with with picture poker and wanted and it's where I first heard the mario sunshine secret music
In the conversation for emulating the DS/3DS stylus, I'd like to submit my personal solution for my setup: A drawing tablet. Granted, it's not the same feeling or accuracy you would have with a lot of games where you would *physically* touch the pen on the object, button, or character with a real DS or 3DS. BUT! It's still pretty f#@king accurate. It all comes down to the game, really. Some games a mouse actually makes sense, some don't even need the stylus for much of anything, and some just require a special control set in order to play a game comfortably. (which can even be better than the original controls if you find a control scheme you like)
Oh my gosh, hearing the ddr Mario mix music at the end makes me wanna bust out my dance pad and play it. Why do I own ddr Mario mix? Why do you ask so many questions, nosy
I remember playing Super Mario 64 DS just for the minigames as a kid. The same can be said about New Super Mario Bros since both it and Super Mario 64 DS share the same minigames.
I still enjoy these games :3 Some friends and I even have a list who has the best scores on every mini-game, love the competition like once a year or something xD
Fun fact: Due to Korea having anti-gambling laws *NONE* of the minigames exist in the Korean version of Mario 64 DS. However, it seems *some* of the minigames from New Super Mario Bros. made their way into the Korean version of the game due to the menu still existing if you look at The Cutting Room Floor's page for New Super Mario Bros. comparing the regional differences for the main menu. Whether or not *Luigi's* minigames are in the Korean version remains to be seen as TCRF doesn't have a full comparison of the menus between all existing versions.
I loved these minigames, because my dumb child mind that didn't really understand English, found them much more simple than the main game (my uncle beat the game for me lol). And honestly? Loves me is one of my favourites purely because of how calming it was... or because me and my sister tried to see which one of us could pick all the petals first. But I did love pretty much every single minigame that didn't require me to read (torilla tavataan suomalaiset)
I got nostalgic last night and fired up new super Mario bros on my childhood ds and tried the minigames. I saw Luigi poker and was like “oh yeah I remember this” so I played it. Then an hour and a half passed.
Amazing picks for the higher rankings. Also, I decided to analyze your zero star vs five star picks to see if I can find a pattern with your minigame preferences. Zero star games: too simple/easy, minimal to no gameplay Five star games: more difficult/complex, tests memorization and attention, engaging gameplay So you seem to be the type who likes to use their brain when playing games. Somehow that makes sense for you, haha
For me, I never was a fan of the Luigi games because I just didn't understand card games when I was little. I just couldn't figure them out, but returned to them to hear Sunshine’s Casino theme on the go. Wario and Yoshi were okay, I do remember Tox Box Shuffle and the Snowball roller being some of my favorites, but the panel flips were too much for my tiny brain. Mario was always my favorite though, I really liked all of them, even if I wasn't the best, and that's only because of their simple arcadey style. The high scores were really fun and I always loved the trampolines.
My list is: 1: Picture Poker 2: Super Mario Slots 3: Pair-A-Gone and On 4: Mushroom Roulette 5: Bingo Ball 6: Slots Shot 7: Loves Me 8: Shell Smash 9: Shuffle Shell 10: Mario Slides
Just in time! I’m getting an original DS PHAT with a copy of Mario 64 Ds and Big Brain Academy for Chrimbo for a big dose of nostalgia for the holiday season.
I've never played some of these wtf. The last time I played was years ago in like 2014. Never would've know these mini games existed if it wasn't for this video lol
I agree basically 100%, only thing I disagree with slightly is loves me at bottom because young me found the guy that appeared when you got loves me not hillarious and I would always try to get him to appear despite it being 100% chance. I wouldn’t move it up too much higher, but it’s funny and charming to me.
I remember several years ago where I let my brother borrow my 2Ds just to try out some the mini games, but when he got to Picture Poker... I remember he played at least *2 hours of it...* and after he lost, he never played it again...
