SM64DS multiplayer is just a synced game over a wireless connection, right? What if there was a way to capture the button inputs of a multiplayer game and play them back either on real hardware or an emulator? Does anyone know what frequencies/protocols the DS uses for multiplayer? The HackRF software defined radio can capture and re-transmit radio spectrum recordings (the actual carrier signals coming from a radio transmitter) and I wonder if an RF replay attack can be used to play back a game on real hardware?

The idea is interesting, but given Nintendo's rather strict anti-counterfeit measures there's most likely some sort of encrypted authentication involved at least at handshake step.

Does multiplayer here mean Wi-Fi or something else?

Not WiFi, but the peer-to-peer multiplayer feature of the game that only requires two DS consoles. moozooh is probably correct.
