It looks really cool, plus on the touch screenn you can horde powerups and then activate them by pressing them with your finger (they're huge). So far i've only seen the Mushroom and the Fireflower but I see exclamationn mark blocks which could mean that the caps from Mario 64 are back, i'm expecting some kind of flight powerup, whether it's Racoon, Cape, Wing Cap or anything else they can think of.
imo, if this game is what I THINK it is, it should have been the game that launched the DS. Not Mario 64 DS. I'm really, seriously, praying, wanting, hoping, dreaming, that Nintendo put a two player simultaneous feature like in SMB Deluxe for GBC in this game. It wont kill me if its not there, but that feature was so awesome it would make the game 100 times better if it is.
I'm also expecting 'I'm sorry Mario, but our princess is in another castle!" as well as the classic axe and drawbridge :D When i saw the movies of this, Mario was performing all his moves frm Mario 64 as well as a few moves from SMW (corkscrew jump). Yunno come to think of it, the boss battles might involve the stylus in some way
