No. I still think its a remake. It had completly redone graphics and even 30 new stars. Also you could play as Yoshi!. (And Luigi and Wario I guess)

A game using essentially using the original code is not a remake. I see the DS release as updated version. Updates and and improvments are not remakes.

Ratchet and Clank is true remake. Inspired by the original but built from the ground up.

Ratchet and Clank wasn't a remake. It was a reboot. Similar to Spider Man: Homecoming. It isn't a remake of the previous Spider Man movies, it is a new adaptation of the same character.

A remaster would be using the exact same game/engine and slapping HD on the game and/or some other minor improvements, such as improved audio.

A remake is when you update the graphics, implement more polygons, more game modes/content, updates to the story etc. 

Super Mario 64 DS had a completely different opening to the original. Overhauled graphics, more characters etc.
