Mario

Mario is an unlockable character in Super Mario 64 DS. He is required to beat the game, due to being the only character that can enter Bowser in the Sky. He was captured by Goomboss at the start of the game and the key to unlock his door is found in the level Goomboss Battle. He has average stats in power, speed and jump compared to the other characters, and plays almost identically to how he works in the original game. He is the fastest of the four characters, and has the fastest acceleration. He is also the only character who can wall kick. His Power Flower ability is Balloon Mario, which lets him float in the air by pressing the B button. He is also the only one who can use the Wings, a power-up which lets him fly through the air.
