1. Intro***********************SM64DS_1****************************************
Welcome to yet another DS FAQ/Walkthrough of mine. This FAQ focuses on the
remake of what is possibly the greatest Mario game from the Nintendo 64, Super
Mario 64, now named Super Mario 64 DS. (Yeah, Nintendo never has been exactly
creative with game titles, have they?)
Anyway, this is actually my second FAQ for a game with such non-linear gameplay
as this. My previous one was for Super Mario Sunshine, the "sequel" of sorts to
the Nintendo 64 version of this game.
Okay, enough useless rambling. Here's an FAQ for you. Enjoy.

++ Section I - Layout Explanation **SM64DS_41** ++
++ ++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is a reason I laid out my walkthrough for this game in a way that goes
against the traditional beginning-to-end format you've seen and will see in
most other walkthroughs for other games.
The reason lies in the fact that game is just so non-linear. You can do things
in this game in almost any order you want. It would near-impossible for any
FAQ author to write it in a start-to-finish format without taking away some of
the non-linear fun for you. So I won't be doing that.
Instead, in Section III, you'll have the Power Stars walkthrough. All fifteen
main areas of the game are there, with all seven courses and their respective
100-Coin stars. That does total 120 Stars, by the way. After that, you'll find
all of the Secret Stars that are within Peach's Castle and the local area in
the sixteenth section.
In Section IV, you'll find the details on how to find each character of the
game.
In Section V, you'll find walkthroughs for how to beat Bowser in his three
respective worlds.
For all three sections (III, IV, and V), I only will state a requirement for
something (such as character) when it applies. Otherwise, you are to assume you
can use any character you wish. Additionally, for Sections IV and V, there are
some extra Stars in them. You may want to take a glance in there to find the
proper Stars that you may be missing. You'll also note that the same Stars are
in Section III-16, because they ARE Secret Stars.
Okay, I hope you understood that. Good luck with the game, and enjoy!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++ ++
++ Section II - Beginning of the Game **SM64DS_42** ++
++ ++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After the introductory cutscene, you'll begin controlling Yoshi. Press the
Pause button to change around the control settings if you want, then let's
get on with this. Go forward to the large castle, Peach's Castle, right in
front of you. Cross the bridge to find a door. Trying to open it, which is
done by getting near the door, results in failure because the door has been
locked. Go back across the bridge and Lakitu, who actually plays a benign role
in this game, primarily holding the camera for you.
Anyhow, Lakitu will notify you that a rabbit has the key to the castle and
then marks it on your map with a key symbol. Head over to the rabbit and start
chasing it around -- to catch it, you must use Yoshi's attack, which uses his
tongue, to swallow the rabbit. Afterwards, you'll get the key. Go back to the
castle and get in front of the door, then into the castle itself.
This castle will become the "hub" area of sorts. From here, you'll be able to
access a majority of the Power Stars within the game. Now, as you look around,
you'll notice doors with numbers on them. Those mark the number of Power Stars
required to enter that room. Initially, all you can do is go into the room on
the left. There, jump into the painting to reach your first world, Bob-omb
Battlefield.
This is where I must leave you due to the non-linearity of the game.

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #1 - Big Bob-omb on the Summit
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
And so, you are probably visiting this course for the first time. Begin by
speaking with the red Bob-omb nearby, then start following the dirt path to
the bridge. Jump on or otherwise kill the Goombas if you want and continue
across the bridge. On the other side, turn left and continue following the
path. As you do, you'll note a Chain Chomp on your right. He's fairly harmless
if you move by fast enough.
Soon, you'll reach a bridge. This one is different in the fact that it is
weight-sensitive -- stay too long on one side and you'll fall off. On the
other side, go forward and take a right at the sign. From there, continue
forward and you'll notice a somewhat caged-off area. Go into it through the
hole in the cage nearby.
From here, you have a choice. One involves the intended path -- for such, turn
right and go up the spiraling hill. Or you can take a mild shortcut. To do so,
dash up the hill in front of you -- the one with the Red Coin on the way -- and
you'll be a fair way up the mountain. Either way, as you go up the mountain,
you will find a bunch of rolling black balls. This will damage you if they
touch you, so try to jump over them. Part of the way along, you'll also find a
Goomba near a red brick. Figured I would mention this, as you can kill it for
one Coin, which heals you.
Continue up the incline to eventually find an alcove on the left. This is one
of the spawn points for the black balls -- luckily, they tend to stop firing
when you're nearby. Continue along, past some bridges, cannons, and Coins, and
you'll soon find a heart nearby. This heart will heal you -- the faster you
run into it, the more you're healed! Anyhow, continue to the top of the incline
to find the big Bob-omb we've been looking for.
Get near him to start a conversation. Afterwards, you'll be forced to battle
him. For this battle, he'll toss Bob-ombs of regular sizes at you. You, since
you should be using Yoshi, need to swallow them up and quickly spit them back
at the King Bob-omb. Do this three times to defeat him, which releases your
first Power Star. Jump at it to get it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #2 - Footrace with Koopa the Quick
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this, you'll be required to utilize Mario or use his cap, which is found
in this area.
Upon arriving, assuming you're not using Mario, go forward to the large Koopa
nearby. He'll ask you if Mario is around; he wants to have a race with him.
Odds are, he's probably still locked up, so we're going to need to do something
to impersonate him. Look at your map -- you should see one or two red cap
markers there. These mark Mario's caps -- a character can use them to become
Mario. One should be on the other side of the nearby bridge, in the grassy
field. It is being worn by a Goomba -- kill the Goomba to get the cap.
Now, return to the large Koopa and speak with him to commence the race. (Note:
once you begin, if you get damaged and therefore lose the Mario cap, don't
fear -- there is a solution in the following paragraph.)
Initially, you'll probably have the lead. Go across the bridge and take a left.
Cross the Chain Chomp's area, go across the weight-sensitive bridge, and turn
right. Go forward to the caged-off area and through the hole nearby. This time,
instead of using the intended path (which involves turning to the right and
avoiding several black balls), just continue dashing forward and go up that
hill, grabbing the Red Coin on the way. Now, continue going up the spiral
incline. If you lost your cap on the way, a Goomba up here will be wearing
one, so take it back from him.
Continue up the incline, dodging all the black balls and whatnot that comes at
you. Near the top, you can save time by simply climbing up onto the platform
with the flag. There, touch the flag and wait for the large Koopa to come up
here and give you your Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #3 - 5 Silver Stars!
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episodes like this are those that require you to find five Silver Stars
scattered throughout the level. The locations are marked on your map, but
they rarely account for elevation or whether an enemy is holding them, which
is where I come in. I will generally just end up providing a list of the
Silver Stars and where to find them. So, here you go.
-- Go to the tree between the first bridge along the dirt path and where you
begin. Climb to the top and do a handstand before jumping off to collect it.
-- Go across the first bridge along the dirt path now to the grassy field
beneath the floating island. There should be a Chain Chomp roaming around
here. (Again, the grassy field, not next to the weight-sensitive bridge!)
Head to the Chain Chomp's tail to find the Silver Star. Touch it to get it.
-- Now go over the weight-sensitive bridge. On the other side, turn left to
find a few Goombas ahead. Defeat them all -- one of them is carrying a
Silver Star, which is made available to you once the holder is defeated.
-- From there, face the caged-off area and turn left slightly, so you are
facing the flower beds instead. In the center of one, you'll find the Silver
Star.
-- Now just go up the mountain incline, killing all the Goombas on the way. One
of them is holding the Silver Star.
After get all five Silver Stars, return to the start of the level -- you can go
via the cannon on the mountain if you opened it up already -- and jump at the
Power Star within the glass orb to get it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #4 - Big Bob-omb's Revenge
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this particular episode, you must use Mario, Luigi, or Wario, or grab one
of their hats scattered throughout the level. Just using Yoshi will not be
sufficient.
As back in Episode #1, we are to go to the top of the mountain to fight the
King Bob-omb. You may need to grab a cap, too -- a Mario cap is part-way up the
incline. From the start, follow the dirt path to and across the bridge. On the
other side, take a left and continue forward, past the Chain Chomp, to the
weight-sensitive bridge. Quickly cross it. On the other side, turn right to
face the caged-off area. Go into there and start ascending the incline to soon
find a Goomba wearing a Mario cap. Grab it if you want (or need, if you're
using Yoshi), then continue up the incline. Before reaching the top, be sure to
run through the heart to heal up.
At the top of the mountain, you'll have a conversation with the King Bob-omb.
You are soon thrust into another fight with him. For this battle, the King
Bob-omb will walk around the field, tossing you away when you approach him from
his front. Instead, run around to his back and use your "Attack" button to pick
him up, then toss him down. By "down", I don't mean over the edge. That is
classified as cheating and not allowed. Just toss him onto the platform the
both of you are on, okay? Do this a total of three times to defeat him and
receive your Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Mario Wings to the Sky
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
To complete this episode, you'll need to have solidified all of the red
? blocks. To do so, unlock Mario (see Section IV-1 for details). Next, get a
total of 16 Power Stars and, in the entrance room of the castle, you'll find
a ray of light beaming down. Have Mario look into it (default control setting
has you use the X button) to get into the air. From there, land on the central
castle tower and smash into the ? switch to solidify the ? blocks.
Once you do that, you can come to the level. Any character can be used, but
you'll need to be Mario or wear one of his caps.
Next, walk along the dirt path to the ? block. Bop into it, then jump to grab
the white feather, which gives Mario the ability to fly, which is explained to
you the first time you grab the feather. Now, quickly return to the cannon near
the entrance of the level. Speak with the Cannon Buddy (the Red Bob-omb) nearby
to open up the cannons. Now get inside the cannon nearby. Find the floating
island and aim high above the tree there, then launch yourself. You want Mario
to land on that island, so do so.
There, hit the ? block to find another feather. You'll also find another
cannon in the ground. Now, when you initially fire up the cannon, you'll
probably notice the Coin rings. You have to collect the center Coin from each
ring (there are five) to succeed.
You probably won't get all five Coins from the first shot. If so, fly around
and make another pass at them without using the cannon. Should that one fail
to get them all, return to the island, use the ? block to restore your flight
powers, then shoot out of the cannon and keep going. You'll get your Power
Star upon getting all five center Coins.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Find the 8 Red Coins
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'll go ahead and note that, against some other beliefs, you DON'T need to
have Mario to complete this level. You didn't have to do the episodes in order
you know... Anyhow, the cannon on the mountain is what makes this possible.
This is one of those episodes where you collect eight Red Coins to obtain a
Power Star. It's a pretty simple concept, but the Red Coins are scattered
throughout the level. Therefore, I have a list right here...
-- Begin by going along the path towards the bridge. Instead of immediately
getting on it, go to the left towards the rotating platforms. Get on one
as it comes around and grab the Red Coin above you.
-- Once you do that, jump off onto this higher ledge and proceed forward to the
grassy field under the floating island. Hug the hill on the left to find a
rock. On the top, you'll find a Red Coin.
-- Now, get back on the dirt path and start going towards the Chain Chomp's
territory. As you may notice, the Chain Chomp is stuck to a wooden peg. On
the peg is a Red Coin.
-- Now cross the weight-sensitive bridge nearby. On the other side, turn left
to the wooden peg area with the several Goombas. You'll find TWO Red Coins
here.
-- Next, go towards the caged-off area. As you, don't proceed inside yet. From
outside the entrance, facing it, head left and off of the ledge. Go beneath
the bridge to find a Red Coin. (And a 1-Up Mushroom!)
-- Now, return to the entrance to the caged-off area. Go up the hill right in
front of you, dashing, to reach the Red Coin.
-- Now that you're on the mountain, proceed up it to the cannon you can use.
There, shoot to the floating island, aiming above the tree. If you aim it
right, you'll hit the tree and hold on, or you'll hit the Red Coin that is
above the tree itself. If the former occurred, climb up to the top, do a
handstand, and jump off.
Now that you have all eight Red Coins, the Power Star will appear. It is in
the area where you found two Red Coins close to each other. (If you don't
remember, cross the weight-sensitive bridge near the Chain Chomp area, turn
left, and go forward.)
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Behind Chain Chomp's Gate
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Perhaps the simplest of all these episodes... Upon arriving, go to the bridge
along the dirt path. Cross it to the other side and turn left. Go into the
territory of the Chain Chomp. There, you'll find the Chain Chomp is tied to a
wooden peg. Ground-pound this peg three times to release the Chain Chomp, which
opens up the gate nearby. Inside this gate, you'll find the Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this, I tend to prefer Episode #5 - Mario Wings to the Sky, because it has
those Coin rings. You don't necessarily need Mario to complete this -- you can
just cannon-shot from the mountain to the island, then to the rings of Coins.
Of course, having Mario (actual Mario or via a cap) helps.
Begin by going to the bridge and going underneath it for about five Coins. Now,
take the side path in the trench and defeat some enemies along the way for more
Coins. Return to the bridge and cross it. Defeat the enemies in that field --
the Koopa is worth five Coins -- and grab the Red Coin from the rock in the
corner. (Red Coins are worth two Coins.)
Head over to the Chain Chomp area now and just grab the Red Coin. Cross the
weight-sensitive bridge nearby and, on the other side, turn left. Go into this
clearing to find some Goombas. Defeat them for some Coins, then ground-pound
all of the pegs here three times for some more Coins, about five each. Next,
proceed towards the caged-off area. Don't enter it yet -- go to the flower bed
nearby to find some Coins. Collect all of them and the resulting 1-Up Mushroom,
then go underneath the bridge to the caged-off area for a 1-Up Mushroom, a Red
Coin, and a Bob-omb.
Go into the caged-off area and ascend the incline. Collect all of the Coins on
the way by defeating enemies, breaking bricks, and just grabbing the Coins.
This may or may not be enough to have 100 Coins -- if not, cannonball over to
the floating island to use that cannon (and hopefully some flying with Mario)
to reach the Coin rings. THAT should be enough Coins.

Episode #1 - Chip off Whomp's Block
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Once you arrive, go up the incline nearby. At the top of it, continue along
the ledge. As you do, beware the jutting out rocks from the wall, as well as
the retracting platforms nearby. On the other side, climb up the staircase
nearby. At the top, you probably should go along the stone bridge, so as to
avoid waking the Piranha Plant.
Either way you take (the alternate was the ledge next to the wall), you'll
soon find a gap with a floating, rotating bridge. Wait for it to reach your
ledge, then get on. Walk to the center and, when it connects to the other
ledge, get off. Continue along the path. As you do, take notice of a block on
the left -- you can break it to find a 1-Up Mushroom.
Now, face the high ledge nearby. It is possible to triple-jump up to that ledge
if you feel like it. If not, return to the main path and continue forward to
find some rotating ledges. Either way, once you reach the top, you'll have to
fight a Whomp.
This battle is unusually simple (and I think recreated in Super Mario Galaxy 2)
for a battle. It is nothing more than fighting a giant Whomp. As it roams
around, get near its feet to cause it to fall over. Once it does, get on it and
ground-pound it. Do this a total of three times to find your Power Star.

Either way you take (the alternate was the ledge next to the wall), you'll
soon find a gap with a floating, rotating bridge. Wait for it to reach your
ledge, then get on. Walk to the center and, when it connects to the other
ledge, get off. Continue along the path. As you do, take notice of a block on
the left -- you can break it to find a 1-Up Mushroom.
Now, face the high ledge nearby. It is possible to triple-jump up to that ledge
if you feel like it. If not, return to the main path and continue forward to
find some rotating ledges. Either way, once you reach the high ledge, you'll
find a castle tower of sorts.
Not much left to do now. Get to the lowest platform and start climbing up in
a rotary manner. As you do, beware of platforms that retract. You'll find a
Power Star at the top, after getting on the last platform.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #3 - Shoot into the Wild Blue
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Once you arrive, go up the incline nearby. At the top of it, continue along
the ledge. As you do, beware the jutting out rocks from the wall, as well as
the retracting platforms nearby. On the other side, climb up the staircase
nearby. At the top, continue forward and down the incline into the pool of
water.
There, go to the ledge on the other side of the water -- the one with the red
Bob-omb on it. Speak with him to open up the cannon nearby. Now, get inside.
Aim for that platform right in front of you -- the four-pillared one. To aim,
aim first at the second pillar going left. Tilt your aim up some -- about level
with the platform above the pillars -- and fire. You should smack into the
pillar and arrive on the platform. Use the pole nearby to descend to the Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #4 - Red Coins on the Floating Isle
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Another Red Coin collecting episode. Here we go.
-- Begin by climbing the tree nearby. As you approach the top, an owl will
fly out. After conversing with it, grab onto it by jumping and holding the
button. Go forward and drop onto the floating islands to find TWO Red Coins.
-- Now drop the ground below. Continue around the rim of the island to the
corner opposite where you arrived at. You should find a Red Coin in the
flower bed there.
-- Now, continue along this path around the rim of the island. Once you reach
the water area, go forward to the incline and drop to the other side onto
the dirt incline. Ascend it to the pushy stones' area. As you cross here,
you'll find a mid-air Red Coin.
-- Go across this ledge to the other side. There, start ascending the stairs.
As you do, you'll want to get on the step above the Thwomp. Once it lands,
jump onto it and let it carry you up to the Red Coin.
-- Now return to the stairway and to its apex. Turn and look at the Piranha
Plant nearby. CRAWL towards it to find a Red Coin nearby.
-- See the narrow ledge nearby? Cross it to another Red Coin.
-- Go to the other side of the ledge, where you'll find the rotating bridge.
Get on it when it reaches you and go to the center. Once it passes the wedge
block, get on the "branch" of the bridge. Don't go to the other side; just
line yourself up with the coin trail to touch the Red Coin.
Now that you have all eight Red Coins, drop off of the bridge to the water pool
and continue towards the area in which you enter this place. Now, go towards
the dirt incline and PAST it to find the Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Fall onto the Caged Island
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Once you arrive, climb up the tree nearby. As you do, an owl will fly out.
Once it does, drop to the ground and talk with it. Afterwards, jump at it and
hold the button to begin flying. Fly yourself over to the very obvious caged
island. Release the jump button to land on the island, then simply walk over
to the Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Blast Away the Wall
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Once you arrive, go up the incline nearby. At the top of it, continue along
the ledge. As you do, beware the jutting out rocks from the wall, as well as
the retracting platforms nearby. On the other side, climb up the staircase
nearby. At the top, continue forward and down the incline into the pool of
water.
There, go to the ledge on the other side of the water -- the one with the red
Bob-omb on it. Speak with him to open up the cannon nearby if needed, then get
inside.
Begin by aiming for the rotating bridge nearby, above the water pit and next
to the wall. Aim directly at it and center it in your crosshairs. Now, as you
know, that incline below the bridge is barred by two walls. On the one farthest
from you, you should notice a line at the high corner to your right. Aim and
shoot above that line to reveal the Star. Get back in the cannon and shoot at
the Star now.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Switch Star of the Fortress
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, you'll need to have Mario, Luigi, or Wario, or somehow get
one of their caps. Yoshi alone cannot complete this level.
Okay, upon arriving, head around the rim of the island. As you get to the
opposite corner, you'll find a block. Break it to find a Mushroom, which makes
you grow large and destroy almost anything in your way. We're going to use it
to clear our way. Use it to get rid of the nearby Piranha Plant, then go along
and destroy every block and enemy you come across. You'll probably reach that
glass sphere before running out of Mushroom power -- if so, continue past it
to find some more Goombas to destroy.
(By the way, the above is worth doing mostly to make it easier on you and give
you about five lives!)
Now that you're done and cleared a decent path, go back to the start of the
area and start ringing around the island again. As you do, after the first jump
to a lower ledge, pay attention to the alcoves on the left. Break the blocks in
there -- one has a switch beneath it. Stand on it and run around the island
back to the glass sphere, preferably through the path we cleared. Touch the
sphere to finish.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
By this point, I'll probably just mention some good places to farm Coins.
Anyhow, I tend to prefer Episode #4 for this Star.
You probably should use the Mushroom thing mentioned in the above episode so
as to destroy enemies and blocks easily, then grabbing the Coins afterwards.
You can find some Coins on the incline next to the water pool, some in the
wooden stumps throughout the area, and there is a blue switch you can
ground-pound near the glass sphere for a few Blue Coins. I generally have about
110 Coins by now, although there are some enemies on the mountain that were
barely scratched (*cough* Whomps *cough*), and some Coins on the floating
isles.

Once you arrive, go forward into the water. Continue swimming forward to the
other end of the area, where the deep pool of water is. Dive down there and go
to the bottom of the water pool, onto the deck of the ship. Look around there
and you'll see an entrance to the inside of it. Go inside.
Once you enter the ship, look around. You should find a wooden treasure chest

Once you arrive, go forward into the water. Continue swimming forward to the
other end of the area, where the deep pool of water is. Bump into the wall at
the farthest end of the pool from the area in which you arrived, then dive
down. As you do, notice the alcove. Continue down to it and a large eel will
emerge. As it does, try to get right behind it when its tail comes out -- the
Power Star is attached to the tail. If you time it right, you can get the Star
without having to chase the eel around the pool. If you fail in the timing,
you will have the chase the eel around. Remember to surface or grab Coins when
you start running low on air (around three units left).
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #3 - Treasure in the Ocean Cave
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Once you arrive, go forward into the water. Continue swimming forward to the
other end of the area, where the deep pool of water is. Dive down there and go
to the bottom of the water pool, and look around. You'll probably notice a
hole in the wall. Swim through it to its end to find a hidden cave.
In this cave, proceed forward. As you do, however, beware the Goombas and the
falling pillars all over the place. At the end of the cave with the cage, look
around and you'll find four chests. You touch them to open them, and you must
open them in a certain order...
WALL THIS WAY

The numbers represent the chests and the order in which you must open them (1,
2, 3, 4). After you do this, you'll find the Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #4 - Blast to the Stone Pillar
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need to first activate the cannon in the area for this episode. As
stated earlier, when you begin the level, face to the right and proceed forward
and towards the first large stone ledge you reach. Get between it and the other
one to find a wooden ledge. Get on it and jump on over to the first-mentioned
stone ledge. A red Bob-omb is there; speak with him to open up the cannon.
Now go to that cannon -- it is in front of where you arrived. Get inside. Once
you begin aiming, the Star will be right in front of you on the map. Lower your
aim to see better. Aim for the leftmost stone pillar and raise your aim a fair
deal, so that only one-half to two-thirds of the pillar remain on-screen. Shoot
and you should hopefully land on the pillar. Reshoot there if you failed.
Now, rotate your character and the camera -- the latter is better done with the
Touch Screen controls -- so that your character's back is facing the stone
ledge on the wall nearby. Jump now and you'll land on the ledge, hopefully.
Retry that if needed. Once you land on the ledge, just walk on over to the
Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Red Coins on the Ship Afloat
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I think you know what this means. Red Coin collecting.
-- Head on over to the cannon, opened in the previous episode. (You don't need
it; this is just for speed.) Now, do you remember where the Cannon Buddy
was? Shoot onto the pillar next to the ledge, or just to the ledge itself,
or swim there yourself. Anyway, on the ledge, climb up the pillar and
handstand for a Red Coin.
-- Now, we're rather close to the central portion of this area, not counting
the secret cave. Dive into the shallow portion of the water -- don't mess
with the deep pool yet -- and open up the clams by getting near them. TWO
have Red Coins.
-- Also head to the right portion of the area, where the stone ledges are, and
look around for another clam. This one also contains a Red Coin.
-- Get on the wooden platform between the two stone ledges. Jump onto the stone
ledge nearest the wooden ship. Cross the wooden platforms -- stand on the
! switch to make temporal bricks appear -- onto the ship. Get to the bow
(front) to find a mid-air Red Coin.
-- Now head to the stern (back) of the ship to find TWO Red Coins in the air.
-- Drop into the deep pool of water and head to the bottom to find your final
Red Coin.
Now, return to the wooden ship's deck by climbing up to the stone ledge near
it and crossing the wooden walkways. Head to the stern, where the two Red
Coins where, to find your Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Switch Star of the Bay
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, you'll need to use Luigi or use one of his caps found in the
level as a result of unlocking him.
Once you arrive, go forward into the water. Continue swimming forward to the
other end of the area, where the deep pool of water is. Dive down there and go
to the bottom of the water pool, and look around. You'll probably notice a
hole in the wall. Swim through it to its end to find a hidden cave.
In this cave, hit the ? block nearby for a Power Flower. When using Luigi,
via cap or the actual character, this will make him invisible and allow him to
pass through certain objects. Right after getting the Power Flower and going
invisible, go forward through the cave, hugging the right wall. As you do,
you'll come across a yellow switch. Stand on it, then go through the cage wall
to enter it. The Star is within the sphere there, if you made within the proper
time interval. Touch the glass sphere to get it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Through the Jet Stream
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Firstly, you'll need to use Wario or one his caps found within the area as a
result of unlocking him.
Secondly, the Jet Stream is actually a high-speed "river" of wind in the
troposphere about 10 ~ 20 miles (16 ~ 32 kilometers) in the air. It is not
really used for a high-power jet of water. Sorry, just had to mention that. >_>
Once you arrive, go forward into the water. Continue swimming forward to the
other end of the area, where the deep pool of water is. Dive down there and go
to the bottom of the water pool, and look around. You'll probably notice a
hole in the wall. Swim through it to its end to find a hidden cave.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
In this cave, hit the ? block nearby for a Power Flower. For Wario, this makes
him metallic and very heavy, enough to avoid the force of buoyancy, even when
combined with an opposing jet of water. Have him walk into the water and simply
go forward to the Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Any episode is suitable for this, although Episode #1 makes it a bit tough.
Anyhow, one major thing that will influence whether you actually get the Star
or not is if you use the Blue Coin switch near the start. Begin by using the
switch, quickly turning around and breaking the left brick, then riding the
Koopa shell across the water to find about eight Blue Coins, valued at forty
regular Coins!
You could also go underwater and open up the shells -- there are a bunch of
Coins there. There are some on the wooden walkways next to the wooden ship,
as well. The non-shelled Red Coins and the Goombas at the start and the cavern
also provide some Coins. Basically, that's about it, and that's BARELY ~110
Coins if you do it right. It basically all revolves on how many Blue Coins you
get with the switch.

Episode #1 - Slip Slidin' Away
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, jump onto the wooden cabin nearby and get into it via the
chimney.
Inside, you'll have to slide down a long slide. For this, there's not a bunch
I can say. Try to stay in the middle as you go and following the Coins is a
good help. Try to speed up after the first tunnel and hang a bit left to make
the inclined turn ahead. Near the end, try to slow down because there will be
a narrow trail of ice cubes. At the end, you'll find your Star by going through
the door.
NOTE: There is a shortcut to this. In the first tunnel, you'll notice a very
tight line of about five Coins. Follow it and bump into the wall to go
THROUGH the wall and along a long tunnel, grabbing a 1-Up Mushroom on
the way. Be sure to go as fast as possible. If you do, you'll land on a
ledge. Follow it to a yellow block, which has a 1-Up Mushroom inside.
Then just hit the ground and go out the door.

Episode #2 - Li'l Penguin Lost
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, you'll need to be using Mario, Luigi, or Wario, or one of
their caps. Yoshi alone cannot do this episode very easily. You CAN, but it
solely based on luck, because you are to carry a penguin down the mountain.
Yoshi cannot carry, so you'll be lucky if the penguin actually gets in the
right place.
Anyhow, once you arrive, jump onto the cabin nearby. Pick up the penguin and
go down the snowy slide nearby. (You can jump down to the proper ledge, but it
is rather risky.) At the bottom of the slide, go forward to the bridge and
cautiously cross it while avoiding the snowmen. At the other side, jump forward
and off of the ledge to the ground, probably burying you in the snow a bit.
Jump out and pick up the penguin again if needed, then bring it over to the
larger penguin near the cabin for your Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #3 - Big Penguin Race
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Once you arrive, jump into the cabin.
There, you'll find a large penguin. Speak with it to be challenged to a race.
Accept and, when you can, jump past the penguin onto the slide, holding the
Up button (or whatever you're using for the speed-up) to gain speed and
distance over the penguin. It is much like the first race in Episode #1, except
for one thing...
You cannot use the shortcut. Use of it is an automatic failure. So, just to be
careful, avoid the Coin trail in the first tunnel. For the rest, be fairly fast
when it is safe to be. If you reach the bottom first, you'll get a Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #4 - Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
This episode absolutely requires Yoshi -- there is no known alternative. You
also will be grabbing another eight Red Coins, obviously.
-- Upon arriving, jump onto the cabin and onto the ledge above, where the small
penguin is. Turn left and go forward to find a campfire. Have Yoshi swallow
it, then return to the previous ledge. There, you'll find an ice cube with a
Red Coin inside. Burn the cube and grab the Red Coin.
-- Now start going down the snowy slide nearby. As you do, stop at the bridge
jump off to the right, towards the mountain. You'll soon reach a ledge.
Swallow the campfire there and burn down the nearby ice cube for another
(wet) Red Coin.
-- Next, go to the side of the ledge nearest the bottom of the snowy slope,
where the snowman head is, and jump onto there. Go to the bottom of the
snowy slope to find a Red Coin. (It is near the Red Coin Buddy.)
-- Turn around and start heading for the bridge. However, don't go onto the
bridge yet. Go to the right to find a lower ledge. Drop there and look
around, near the edge of the gap, for a Red Coin.
-- Now cross the bridge with the snowmen. On the other side, continue following
the path on this ledge to a broken bridge. Your end has a Red Coin.
-- Now drop to the ground, where you'll find the large penguin and the exit
cabin for the indoor slide. Go to the tree nearby and climb to the top, do a
handstand, and jump to find a Red Coin. (Ignore the owl.)
-- Now, do a 180-turn and go forward. As you do, you'll notice a bridge on your
left. Cross it to find a Red Coin.
-- Go back to the main ledge and continue along your previous course to the
edge of the ledge. There, turn left to find a Red Coin.
Now that you have eight Red Coins, the Power Star will appear on the other
side of the broken bridge from earlier. You can use the owl from earlier to
go there, or just get to the bridge manually and long jump across.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Snowman's Lost His Head
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, jump onto the cabin and onto the ledge above it (the one with
the little penguin). There, turn left and descend to the lower ledge. There,
you'll find a large snowball, which is actually a snowman's body. Speak with
it and head to the bottom of the slide. There, continue forward to the snowman
head and don't speak with it, as I think it won't let the body come over there.
Anyhow, the body will follow you, add itself to the head, and you'll get a
Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Mario's Super Wall Kick
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, you'll need to be Mario or use one of his caps in the level.
Upon arriving, head on to the bottom of the area. The fastest method by far is
to turn around after starting and get onto the broken bridge here. Stand still
for a moment to be warped to the bottom.
There, proceed to the main ledge and go towards and past the large penguin.
You'll find a wooden platform nearby. IF YOU HAVEN'T ACTIVATED THE CANNONS,
then get on there and, while riding, jump to the floating island. Speak with
the Cannon Buddy to open up the cannons, then jump off back to the ledge you
were on moments ago -- a gust of wind will catch you.
Back here, get into the cannon. Aim across the large abyss nearby and you'll
notice a tree. Aim for it and adjust your aim upwards some to account for the
effect of gravity. Blast yourself across the gap, hopefully hanging onto the
tree or just not losing a life. Once you successfully land, follow the path
nearby across a very narrow ledge -- you'll have to punch the enemies you come
across here.
Soon, you'll find an arrow formation of Coins. There is a gap they are pointing
to. Long jump across the gap. On the other side, climb up the incline nearby to
the wall. There, jump at the wall and wall jump to the next ledge. Go to the
end of it. Now, you are to wall jump at the wall the ledge is on, then the wall
opposite the ledge you were on, to make it to the next platform. Once you land,
go across the ice bridge to the Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Switch Star of Cool, Cool Mountain
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, you'll need to be Wario or wear one of his caps.
Upon arriving, head on to the bottom of the area. The fastest method by far is
to turn around after starting and get onto the broken bridge here. Stand still
for a moment to be warped to the bottom.
There, get on the wooden platform nearby. Ride it along and, when first
possible, jump onto the floating island. Stand on the yellow switch there to
make a Star appear across the gap. Have Wario long jump back across -- the
updraft will catch you -- and then ground-pound on the ice blocking you from
the Star to reach it.
NOTE -- While typing this, I came up with a currently-untested theory for
this. If you're having trouble making it there in time, ground-pound
the ice beforehand to avoid having to do that later.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this one, any episode is sufficient.
There are two main components to this -- the indoor and outdoor slides. Use
them both (use the indoor twice, once for the main path and once for the
shortcut) to get around 80 Coins. After that, just go around and breaking some
bricks and defeating enemies and such to make up for the others. Additionally,
do you remember where the Red Coin Star popped up? It was near the non-warping
broken bridge. There, I think you can find a Blue Coin switch.

For this episode, you are to find and get rid of five or so Boos. "Who you
gonna call!?" *is hit with rotten tomatoes* Anyhow, to defeat a Boo, it is
worth noting that you must attack it when it is solid (non-transparent), which
happens when you and it are not facing each other; attacking from behind is a
common method.
Anyhow, you'll see a large mansion in front of you. Go around to the back of
it, defeating a few enemies on the way, to find the back door. Go in there to
find a Boo, possibly two. Defeat either one or both of them, then return to
the front entrance of the mansion and go through the front door.
Here, go through the northern door on the western wall. Here, you may find a
Boo to defeat -- only if you beat just one in the back room. If you don't find
it here, hang out here the Boo painting for a moment. Then return to the main
room and through the western door on the northern wall. You'll find a Boo (and
a Mr. I) in here.
Defeat the Boo (and the Mr. I if you want -- do it by running around it) and
return to the main room. Go through the southeastern door. There, go along the
ledge ringing to the room to find another Boo. Defeat it and continue to the
next room. There, you'll find a Boo somewhere -- it likes to float around.
Defeat it and you'll get a message.
This message basically says that the Big Boo has appeared in the main entrance
room. Go there and you can fight it.
You fight it just like a normal, but extraneously large, Boo. You generally
try to hit while it is solid, which occurs when it and you are not locking
eyes. You also have to hit it three times before your Star appears. Stand on
the brown panel nearby to reach it.

a hallway. Go through the opposite door to reach the next room. There, turn
left and start going around the central portion of the room until you find a

Here, you'll be on a rotating platform. As you ride this merry-go-round of
sorts, Boos will pop out of the paintings, except for one that spews flames.
Do your best to defeat some Boos.
After you do, the Big Boo will appear again, and probably not for the last

this hallway, be alert, as some books will shoot right of the walls to hurt
you.
At the end, you'll find a bookshelf with three books sticking out of it. Hit
them in this order:
| [1] |
LEFT | [3] | RIGHT

Of course, hit the [1] book, then the [2] book, and then the [3] book. You hit
them with punches or air kicks. Beware of hitting a wrong one, as a book will
hit you, unless you managed to repel yourself of the wall by hitting it. Once
you successfully hit the books in the correct order, the bookshelf will move
aside. Go through the newly-revealed door to a Power Star.

Oh, goody. Another Red Coin episode. For this one, you'll be required to use

quickly because it is actually an enemy in disguise.)
-- Now go into the room north of this one (the piano room). Head to the eastern
half of the room to find two bookshelves. Jump onto top of each to find one
Red Coin each, totalling TWO Red Coins.
-- Exit this room to the main entrance room, then head into the southeastern
room. Here, go along the ledges to the Red Coin.
-- Now, return to the main entrance room and head upstairs. There, go into the
western room on the northern wall. Here, go to the opposite side of the room
to find a Red Coin.
-- Return to the second floor balcony and go into the southeastern room. There,
go around the room to a Red Coin. Beware the weight-sensitive platform near
it!
-- Go through the door nearby to reach the balcony area again. Hit the ? block
nearby to give Mario his Power Flower and become a balloon. Float on over
to the Red Coin near the ceiling.
Once you have all eight Red Coins, the Power Star will appear on the southwest
portion of the second floor balcony. Float on over there, if you have enough
Power Flower time remaining, or walk otherwise, to get it.

Episode #5 - Big Boo's Balcony
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Begin this episode by heading into the mansion. Go upstairs and into the
southeastern room, which is the library. Go to the ledge nearby, on which
you'll find a ? block.
You have a few options, depending on who you're using. Mario is the only one
who can use this Power Flower to rise up to the ledge above the door through
which you entered. Luigi and Wario have to either backflip from atop the
? block or somehow get a Mario cap and do the above.
Either way, go through the door on that ledge. In this room, you'll find a
Luigi painting. That is where you can rescue Luigi; see Section IV-2 for
details. You'll also find a Blue Coin switch. Save it for now, in case you need
a health refill in a second. Go through the doorway near it, though.
And here, you'll find the Big Boo. As usual, hit him three times when he is
solid to defeat him. Generally, you can't get behind him, so try to have him
approach from an angle or something. Anyways, when you win, the Power Star
will appear. Get to the roof (Mario's Power Flower in the ? block or a backflip
or something) to grab it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Eye to Eye in the Secret Room
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, you need to use Luigi or one of his caps.
Begin this episode by heading into the mansion. Go upstairs and into the
southeastern room, which is the library. Go to the ledge nearby, on which
you'll find a ? block.
You have a few options, depending on who you're using. Mario is the only one
who can use this Power Flower to rise up to the ledge above the door through
which you entered. Luigi and Wario have to either backflip from atop the
? block or somehow get a Mario cap and do the above.
Either way, go through the door on that ledge. In this room, you'll find a Boo
painting on the other side of the room. Go outside to find a ? block. Backflip
to hit it and make Luigi invisible. Go back inside and through that painting to
find a large Mr. I and probably a Boo. Defeat the Boo if you need to. Now just
wait until Luigi becomes visible, then run around the Mr. I a few times to get
a Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Switch Star in the Basement
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need to initially use Wario or a cap of his for this episode. After a
certain point in the episode, you can switch to using another character by
getting a cap or losing Wario's.
Once you arrive, turn left to find a small building. Go into it to find a Mr. I
and an elevator. Defeat the Mr. I by running around it a few times, if you
want, then go down the elevator.
At the bottom, continue forward along the path to a door. Go into it to find
a hallway. Go through the opposite door to reach the next room. There, turn
left to find a black brick block. Smash it now.
Before using the yellow switch below it, try to find a Mario cap somewhere in
this level, or lose Wario's -- Wario is the slowest character in the game, and
this is a time-based Switch Star. Once you do, step on the aforementioned
yellow switch to make a Star appear in a glass sphere. Go around the room to
it -- long jumping is fastest, so you know.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this 100-Coin Star, I recommend NOT coming on Episode #1, so as to have the
staircase to more easily access the second floor.
Anyhow, you'll get a lot of Coins from enemies. There are five or so Boos in
the mansion, which is 25 Coins. There are some Scuttlebugs (3 Coins each)
around the outside, as is a yellow block. You'll find a Blue Coin switch
(20 Coins total) on the third floor, in the Luigi painting room. You'll find a
Boo in there as well. You can go outside of there to find the roof, which has
some Coins of its own up there. While you're in the mansion, you can try for
some of the Red Coins as well.
If Coins are lacking there, go to the mansion basement through the smaller
building outside. Defeat the Mr. I in the entrance room for another five Coins,
then you'll have to defeat some Boos in the merry-go-round room. That should be
enough. Whether you can use the world in Luigi's painting for more, should they
SOMEHOW still be lacking, isn't yet known to me.

elevator, step on the arrows to move it in that direction. If you remain off
of it for too long, it'll return to where the Red Coin Buddy is (southwest
corner, up the stairs). Now, to the Red Coin list...
-- Begin by heading to the center of the area, where you'll find two red
bricks. Destroy them to find TWO Red Coins.
-- Also destroy the brick in the far left corner for another Red Coin.
-- Now, go back to where the arrow platform was. Instead of getting back on
it, long jump across the gap to the opposite ledge. Climb up that pole and
stand on the platform to make it move. Smash the red brick you first come
across to find a Red Coin.
-- Stand on the right side to find another Red Coin soon enough.
-- Jump over the archway for another Red Coin.
-- Jump the ledge on your right for the final TWO Red Coins.

Episode #4 - Navigating the Toxic Maze
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Using Wario for this episode is largely preferred (through cap or the actual
character), because this episode can let you get hurt quite easily, and Wario's
metal Power Flower ability prevents that.
Upon arriving, go forward and down the right fork. As you do, beware the
enemies and the holes in the ground -- being hit pretty much always knocks you
into one. At the gap at the far end, wait for the fire to disperse and jump
across the gap, then go through the door.
Here, head to the ground below and through the door to your left. This should
bring you to the toxic maze, where the purple water will hurt a non-metal
person if touched. Drop down into the hole to reach the main portion.
Here, avoid the Shy Guy nearby and head over to the corner where you'll find
a ? block. Bop it to make Wario metal and avoid the damage of the water and
other most things. Then go right and up the ledge with the Blue Coin switch,
then go left to another ? block. Use it to restore Wario's metallic powers,
then go around the corner. High up, on the left, is a ledge. Get next to it,
then backflip to it. Go through the door.

a ledge with a door on it. Backflip to reach it, then go through it.
At the end of this corridor, you'll find an elevator. Get on it to rise up to
a higher floor, above the black hole (as it is called in the maps). See that
wire bridge above you? Jump to it and hold the jump button to hold on. Proceed
across to your Power Star ledge. Let go of the jump button to land on the ledge

across the gap, then go through the door.
Here, head to the ground below and to the corner opposite you to find a black
brick. Smash it with Wario to reveal a switch.
Now, you probably should grab another character's cap or lose Wario's
altogether, because it'll be faster this way. Once you're ready, step on the
switch to make the Star appear. Long jump to the stairs near the arrow platform
and the Red Coin Buddy. Get to that platform and then long jump across the
gap to the Power Star. Touch the sphere containing it to obtain it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
This 100-Coin Star is a bit more restrictive than the others, as far as how to
obtain the Coins goes, as well as the overall size of the area. Anyhow, I'll
give you a "fuller" guide to it. Use of Wario is recommended; using Episode #1
is NOT.
In the room in which you arrive, there will be a Scuttlebug nearby. Defeat it
and go down the right fork for another Scuttlebug and two or three Goombas.
That should bring you up to 8 ~ 9 Coins. Ignore other Scuttlebugs here; they
are worthless. Also be sure to smash the wooden crate near where you enter and
go down the right fork. You'll find a trail of Coins on a thin ledge down
there. Continue to the next room.
Here, you'll pretty much want to grab all 8 Red Coins, break every brick, and
defeat all of the Goombas, the Scuttlebug, and the Mr. I. That's pretty much
it for there; go through the door to the left of where you hit the ground to
find the toxic maze.
Before dropping in the hole, grab some Coins nearby. Then drop into the hole
and go to the ? block ledge. Become metal if you're using Wario, then head on
over to the Blue Coin switch nearby. Use it to obtain up to 8 Blue (40 regular)
Coins; get at least two or three to ensure you make it, okay? Defeat some of
the enemies here to get some Coins, then go through the door to the black hole
area (where you had to grab onto the wire bridge).
Here, climb along the bridge to the right to find some Coins, then head on over
and drop to the left ledge. On the lower ground, go forward, towards the hill,
and defeat the Scuttlebug and the Swooper, grabbing as many Coins as you can.
Then go up the hill with the boulders, grabbing the Coins from the left as you
go. Then go through the door nearby to the underground lake.
Here, you'll find a few Goombas at the bottom. If you're not Wario, ignore the
next two statements. If you ARE Wario, use the ? block nearby for a Power
Flower, then go underwater to the ! switch. Stand on it and go through the
opened door to find a Scuttlebug. You also go onto the central island of the
lake for some Coins.
That's the fullest trail of Coins I can give. That should manage to get you all
100 needed Coins. If not, you better do some more thorough checking around.

Episode #1 - Boil the Big Bully
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need to use someone other than Yoshi for this, unless Yoshi wears a cap.
Upon arriving, head forward to the intersection. Take the fork to your left
towards the volcano. Head up the stairs for another intersection. Defeat the
Bully nearby (punch it into the lava), then go along the right branch. Cross
the metal grating carefully (fire likes to rise up here), then proceed to the
long gray platform. Cross it to the S-curve pathway. Go along it to its end.
There, you have two options. One is kind of risky. If you're using Mario or a
cap of his, you can use the ? block nearby (which has a Power Flower) to float
on over to the island where the Star is on the map. I prefer to go onto the
rising/sinking platforms nearby. On the other end, wait for a metal platform
to come along. Jump on over to it, or to the platform with the three Bullies.
Ride the metal platform away from the platform now to another platform with a
giant Bully on it. Much like with the smaller Bullies, just punch it over the
edge of the platform into the lava. I often try backflipping over it while I'm
near the edge so the Bully ends up near the edge, then ending the battle with
a single punch. That is the ONLY time you should be near the ledge. Once you
boil the Bully, you'll get a Power Star.

directly. Either way, you'll want to end up on the three-Bully platform.
Here, you'll simply have to beat up three Bullies. Try to have them all charge
at you in a line, so it becomes almost like fighting one long Bully. You can
also try using Wario, for an alternate, as he is rather strong.
After defeating those three, you'll have to fight a Big Bully. Much like
before, you'll just have to punch it into the lava. I still suggest using my
backflip technique, then punching him into the lava. Otherwise, treat him as
you did before. Defeat him for a Power Star.

find a Mr. I. Defeat it and continue onward.
You'll soon find a bunch of tiles moving around. This image, occasionally,
will form an image of Bowser. That's not the important thing. On these fifteen
tiles are your eight Red Coins. Simply grab them all, avoid the gap if you
can, then grab your Power Star.

Episode #4 - Red-Hot Log Rolling
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
There are two methods to this episode.
-------------------------
Method #1 - Any Character
-------------------------
Upon arriving, head forward to the intersection. Take the fork to your left
towards the volcano. Head up the stairs for another intersection. Defeat the
Bully nearby (punch it into the lava), then go along the right branch. Cross
the metal grating carefully (fire likes to rise up here), then proceed to the
long gray platform in front of you. From here, you should be able to get to
the circular platform with the two Bullies on it. Get there and defeat them.
Nearby, you should find a metal-wire platform. Get on it when possible and
start riding. As you do, stay out of the way of the fire jets as they come on
up. At the end, get onto the platform.
Proceed up to the big log. This is a balance kind of thing -- you want the log
to go left (assuming you're facing the way you came from, the Bully platform),
so stay somewhat on the left side to get it to roll left. Keep an eye on your
character as well -- we don't need to fall into the lava. Once the log stops
at the other platform, follow the ledge to your Star.
-------------------------------------
Method #2 - Requires Mario or his cap
-------------------------------------
Upon arriving, turn around. You should see a platform here. Long jump to it and
you'll also find a ? block. Bop it for a feather. From here, triple jump and
start flying. Go to the opposite corner (as in "go forward from the start") to
find your Star. You'll have to fly and be careful of the tight space you have
to turn in, unless you approach from another angle (how about the Bully
platform?), and also beware the fire jets. Additionally, when you're above the
Star, try to ground-pound to it rather than rush in directly to it -- it is a
bit more likely to work.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Hot-Foot It Into the Volcano
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, head forward to the intersection. Take the fork to your left
towards the volcano. Head up the stairs for another intersection. Defeat the
Bully nearby (punch it into the lava), then long jump to the platform around
the volcano. There, jump onto and into the volcano's crater.
Inside, follow the path forward to the ledge ringing the area and start going
up. During your climb, be aware of fire jets streaming from the walls. Also,
a while into your journey, you'll find a Bully. Get rid of it and you'll also
notice a high ledge ahead. Cautiously approach it, because the wall next to it
can fall over to smash you.
Jump up the ledge after the wall retracts and then continue. You'll come to
some floating platforms, after which are some fire streams, a Bully, and a
pole. Climb up it and jump to the ledge nearby, ignoring the other pole. You
Star is quite near.

Episode #6 - Inside the Volcano

Upon arriving, head forward to the intersection. Take the fork to your left
towards the volcano. Head up the stairs for another intersection. Defeat the
Bully nearby (punch it into the lava), then long jump to the platform around
the volcano. There, jump onto and into the volcano's crater.
Inside, turn around and cautiously hop from island to island to a green
platform. This will pretty much take you up to the Star. As it goes along,
you'll soon reach another platform. Switch to this one. As this one goes, you
will find a pole. Climb it, jump over to the next, and go up some more to find
the Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Flaming Silver Stars
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, head forward to the intersection. Continue past it to find a
block further ahead. Hit to find a Green Shell. Keep in mind that, when you
ride this, you cannot run into non-enemies or you'll lose the Shell and have
almost-certain death. There is an unlimited period of use otherwise, so just
be careful. Now, to the Silver Stars!
-- Go towards the portion of the area where the original Big Bully was. From
there, sort of head east to an island with Mr. I on it, as well as the
Silver Star.
-- North of there is a hill-like ledge. Ride to its peak for a Silver Star.
-- Go back towards the Bully platforms and continue past them to the corner to
find a Silver Star on an inclined ledge.
-- Go to a similar island between the volcano and fire platform for another
Silver Star.
-- Go to the area behind where you start, in the corner. You'll find it as you
go.
If you followed the above strategy, the Power Star will appear in a glass orb
nearby.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this Star, I recommend a combination of using Wario and using Episode #7.
Upon arriving, head over to the intersection ahead of you, then continue to the
black brick. Shatter it to find a Blue Coin switch. Hit the block nearby first,
quickly ground-pound the switch, then quickly get on the Green Shell. You'll
find a backtracking trail of Blue Coins, totalling around 45, depending on how
many you get. (You don't even NEED the switch, but it makes things easier.)
After that, you can pretty much get rid of the enemies and grab the random
Yellow/Red Coins throughout the level to finish. If that isn't enough, there is
also a few in the volcano -- the Coin total carries into there.

There are two methods to this episode.
-------------------------
Method #1 - Any Character

Upon arriving, grab that box nearby and immediately start heading left with
it, over that sand hill and past the fence. This puts very close to the
pyramid and is a much shorter way of doing things here. (Of course, you MAY
end up in a sand pit and not get whirlwinded out, but the coincidence of both
events is pretty rare. If it happens, just try again.)
Anyhow, get in front of the pyramid and start climbing up the ramp. Ignore the
alcove -- that's a whole other episode -- and simply start heading
counterclockwise and up the pyramid. Be careful though -- touching one of the
inclines generally makes you end up falling to your death. Eventually, you'll
find the Star. Pretty easy.

Method #1 - Any Character

Here, go forward to the intersection, then right. Defeat the Goombas and avoid
the Thwomp as you go to the ramp near the back. Continue along the path around
the wall and over the Thwomp to find a pole. Climb it to reach the floor above.
Here, climb across by using the overhead wire platform and hanging onto it,</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
then go up the corner. Now sprint up the path, hiding in the alcove as the
roller passes by, then continue to the end. Then go up the moving ledges to
the next floor and go along the path, avoiding the Zappies as you do so.
Further ahead, you'll find a pole. Climb up it and proceed forward across the
narrow path, avoiding the Thwomp as you do so. From the other side of the
path, just turn to the right and continue along this path to the Star.

Method #2 - Requires Mario or his cap
-------------------------------------
Here, go forward to the intersection, then left. Follow this to its end,
avoiding the Thwomp as you do. At the end is a ? block. Use it to find a Power
Flower, which you can use to float. Float up high, and back towards the
entrance. As you do, you'll find a pole on a ledge. Run into it to stop
floating and then climb up it. On that ledge, proceed forward across the
narrow path, avoiding the Thwomp as you do so. From the other side of the
path, just turn to the right and continue along this path to the Star.

Episode #4 - Stand Tall on the Four Pillars
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll have to be Mario for this episode.
Now, since you're going to have to be Mario, I'll hand you the easier method.
Upon arriving, simply walk forward to the two-layer stone structure. As you
approach it, triple-jump to the upper platform. There, you'll find a ? block.
Hit it to find a feather to make Mario fly. Triple-jump and start flying.
Now, fly towards the pyramid. You'll find a large brown pillar rising up from
the sand near it -- there are four like these. Fly around to each one and land
on each one (easiest by ground-pounding). After all four pillars have been
landed upon, the top of the pyramid lifts off. Fly to it and drop into the
hole to reach the inside of the pyramid again.
You'll be in a cage, which soon lowers. When it does, go into the hole with
the brick nearby, smash the brick, and continue walking forward. You'll soon
reach a whole other room, in which you have to fight two hands. This boss is
very simple -- punch the eye of the open hand, and the hand that opens will
alternate. Just go back and forth punching eyes until the hands go away,
leaving you and the Power Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Tox Box Switch Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need to be Wario for this episode.
Upon arriving, go forward and, when the sand hill on your left ends, turn
left. Go forward, towards the dark brown sand pit, to find a path there with
a bunch of Tox Boxes rolling on it. Go onto the path nearby, then right at the
intersection. Long jump over to the platform with the black brick and smash
the brick to reveal a switch. Step on it to make the Star appear. Now, just go
on over to it, long jumping when possible.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Pyramid Puzzle
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, grab that box nearby and immediately start heading left with
it, over that sand hill and past the fence. This puts very close to the
pyramid and is a much shorter way of doing things here. (Of course, you MAY
end up in a sand pit and not get whirlwinded out, but the coincidence of both
events is pretty rare. If it happens, just try again.)
Anyhow, get in front of the pyramid and start climbing up the ramp. Go down
the ramp into the alcove up there. To proceed to the Star, there are two
methods.
-------------------------
Method #1 - Any Character
-------------------------
Here, go forward to the intersection, then right. Defeat the Goombas and avoid
the Thwomp as you go to the ramp near the back. Continue along the path around
the wall and over the Thwomp to find a pole. Climb it to reach the floor above.
Here, climb across by using the overhead wire platform and hanging onto it,
then go up the corner. Now sprint up the path, hiding in the alcove as the
roller passes by, then continue to the end. Then go up the moving ledges to
the next floor and go along the path, avoiding the Zappies as you do so.
Further ahead, you'll find a pole. Climb up it and proceed forward across the
narrow path, avoiding the Thwomp as you do so. From the other side of the
path, just turn to the right and continue along this path.
-------------------------------------
Method #2 - Requires Mario or his cap
-------------------------------------
Here, go forward to the intersection, then left. Follow this to its end,
avoiding the Thwomp as you do. At the end is a ? block. Use it to find a Power
Flower, which you can use to float. Float up high, and back towards the
entrance. As you do, you'll find a pole on a ledge. Run into it to stop
floating and then climb up it. On that ledge, proceed forward across the
narrow path, avoiding the Thwomp as you do so. From the other side of the
path, just turn to the right and continue along this path.
At the end of either path taken, you'll find some Silver Stars on the platforms
below you. Grab the first and second going down, then turn left to see another
one somewhat across. Jump to it and grab it, then drop to the sand river below
you. Follow it for another two Silver Stars, with the Power Star being found
in the glass orb at the end, if you get the five Silver Stars. (If you fail to
grab the Power Star itself, float up there with Mario or backtrack completely
back to it.)
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Free-Flying for 8 Red Coins
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll have to be Mario for this episode, via the actual character or a cap.
Anyhow, we have another 8 Red Coin episode, so here is the list:
-- Upon arriving, do a one-eighty and cautiously walk over to that Red Coin.
-- Turn back around and head towards the bilayered stone structure. There are
some bricks on the lower level. Break one for a Red Coin.
-- Head to the paths on the dark quicksand area. There, if you go ahead and
left, you'll find another Red Coin on the right path. Jump to it.
-- Make your way over to the oasis portion of the area now. Once there, go
underwater to grab the Red Coin.
-- The final four are in the air. Go to the corner of the dark quicksand pit
with the cannon. There is also a ? block there. Grab it to get a feather and
to let Mario fly. Shoot Mario into the air and try to stay airborne long
enough to grab the four Red Coins around the pyramid.
After grabbing the eight Red Coins, fly/walk over to the bilayered stone
structure and get on the upper layer for your Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
We'll pretty much have to start on Episode #7, where the aerial Red Coins can
be easily found. So you'll need Mario.
Go ahead and defeat all of the enemies you can find -- Goombas amount to one,
as do Bob-ombs; Shy-Guys amount to two; and Wigglers yield five. You can find
some in the bricks at the bilayered structure, and you can get 16 Coins from
the eight Red Coins. There are also Coins atop the four pillars around the
pyramid. That's pretty much it, I think. You can go inside the pyramid for a
few more enemies, Coins, and a Blue Coin switch worth 4 Blue (20 regular)
Coins.

Upon arriving, swim down, towards the ground far below. As you do, beware the
whirlpool down there -- if you get sucked in, you'll die. Anyhow, closer to
the bottom, look around to find a hole through the wall. Go through this long
tunnel to the other side and surface in that room.
Here, you'll find Bowser's sub nearby. Head to the side of the room opposite
the tunnel entrance to find a ledge with a ? block. If you're Mario, use it to
float onto the sub for your Star. Otherwise, head to the right and onto the
ledge to find a ! switch. Use it to make some bricks appear nearby leading up
to the sub. Either way, on top of the sub, you'll find your Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #2 - Chests in the Current
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, swim down, towards the ground far below. As you do, beware the
whirlpool down there -- if you get sucked in, you'll die. Anyhow, closer to
the bottom, look around to find a few chests. Like those featured in Jolly
Roger Bay, you need to activate them in a certain order. (To activate them, if
you don't know, simply touch them.)
Anyhow, open the chest near the clam, the one in the seaweed, and the one on
the ledge next to the whirlpool in that order. A Star will then appear for you
to grab ... assuming you don't get sucked into the whirlpool.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #3 - Pole-Jumping for Red Coins
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this episode, it is highly recommended you first defeat Bowser in the Fire
Sea. It is not impossible if you haven't, but you'll be using Mario's floating
ability a bit too much for convenience.
Upon arriving, swim down, towards the ground far below. As you do, beware the
whirlpool down there -- if you get sucked in, you'll die. Anyhow, closer to
the bottom, look around to find a hole through the wall. Go through this long
tunnel to the other side and surface in the sub's (probably old) room. As this
is a Red Coin episode, you'll probably know that I'm about to make a list.
-- Head to the side of the room opposite the tunnel entrance to find a ? block.
Mario can use it for the purposes of this episode, which is an alternate
method I won't cover. Anyhow, from there, go to the right to find a ! switch
on the ground. Stand on it and proceed further along the ledge to find a
block staircase. Climb up it to find a Red Coin.
-- Now, there is a pole on the above rafters moving to and from the direction
of the tunnel entrance. Get on this pole and properly position yourself as
it moves for THREE Red Coins.
-- Continue along the next pole to another semi-caged platform with a Red Coin.
-- Ride back to the first platform (the single Red Coin one) and use the
other pole. Jump to the next pole when first possible and jump off onto the
platform on the way. Ride all of the poles here for the remaining THREE
Red Coins.
Now your Power Star will appear. Go on over to it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #4 - Through the Jet Stream
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
There was an episode in Jolly Roger Bay named this, too. Much like with it,
you'll need to use Wario.
Upon arriving, swim down, towards the ground far below. As you do, beware the
whirlpool down there -- if you get sucked in, you'll die. Anyhow, closer to
the bottom, look around to find a hole through the wall. Go through this long
tunnel to the other side.
At the end of the tunnel, go forward to find some rings rising from a jet of
air nearby. Have Wario swim downward and through five of these to make a Star
appear. We can't get it yet.
Surface and go to the side of the room opposite the tunnel to find a ? block.
Use it to use Wario's metal powers. Now just jump into the water and head on
over to the Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #5 - Koopa Surfin' Switch Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need to use Wario for this episode, but only temporarily. (Of course,
it won't really matter whether you switch after that point or not.)
Upon arriving, swim on over to the land area nearby with the black and yellow
blocks. Break all of the black blocks; one has a switch beneath it. Ignore it
for a moment and hit the yellow block nearby to reveal a Green Shell. Now,
QUICKLY stand on the yellow switch, then start riding the Green Shell over to
the location of the newly-appeared Star. Touch the glass orb to get it.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #6 - Inside the Cage
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need to use Luigi for this episode.
Upon arriving, swim down, towards the ground far below. As you do, beware the
whirlpool down there -- if you get sucked in, you'll die. Anyhow, closer to
the bottom, look around to find a hole through the wall. Go through this long
tunnel to the other side and surface in the sub's (probably old) room. Go to
the portion of the room opposite the tunnel entrance.
On the ledge there, you'll find a ? block. Grab the Power Flower from it to
become invisible, then proceed into the waters nearby. Proceed back towards
the tunnels, but hang a right to find a cage. Swim through it (need to be
invisible) to get your Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - The Manta Ray's Reward
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'll go ahead and note that, while you CAN use anyone you want for this
episode, use of a fast swimmer, such as Luigi or Mario, is preferable.
Basically, when you arrive, swim down to find a manta ray swimming around.
It is releasing rings from its ... rear end. Follow it around and through five
rings to get a Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Any episode is okay for this one, though use of Wario can provide a few extra
Coins from the black bricks near the start.
Anyhow, upon arriving, head on over to those black bricks. Shatter them if you
can for a few Coins, then hit the yellow block and ride the Green Shell around
this portion of the area to defeat a few enemies for a few Coins.
Then swim underwater, to the whirlpool area (but not into the whirlpool). Do
some major numismatics (Coin-collecting), then proceed to the submarine's area
on the other end of the tunnel. Do a bit of Coin collecting, if any, under the
water. Out of the water, all that's really left are the Red Coins and the Blue
Coin switch.

take damage! Back on the narrow path, turn to where you came from to find a
ledge. Triple-jump at it, avoiding the ice wedges as you do.
Once on that ledge, carefully follow the path to an ice bridge.
Here, don't get on just yet. See, that snowman head will blow air at you,
which makes you lose your cap and basically start this whole thing over again.

Thought you left him back in Lethal Lava Land, didn't you? You'll have to fight
him again, so I recommend Wario, although everyone, except a cap-less Yoshi,
should work.
Anyhow, upon arriving, turn to the right and go forward. You'll note the owl
tree on the way. Ignore it and cross the gap in front of you, then turn left
and go up the incline. There, you'll find the icy platform with the Bully on
it. With this episode, I actually recommend doing an initial long jump at your
opponent before engaging in fisticuffs with the beast, as, it usually knocks
him right into the "icy lava" (the super-cold ice water you cannot swim in).
Should the long jump fail, just either try it again or punch your opponent.
For the latter, I'd prefer you keep your back to the edge of the incline from
which you came. Once you defeat the Bully, a Star is yours.

You must use Yoshi to complete this episode.
Upon arriving, turn to the right and you'll find a ? block on the hill. For
the others, this thing releases a Bob-omb. However, for Yoshi, it releases a
Power Flower that makes him a Goomba-barbequing machine! (In other words,
Yoshi gets to breath fire as much as desired for a specific time interval.)
Once you have fire breath, face back towards where you came from and go there.
You should see a bunch of ice cubes nearby. Jump on the lowest stack, then jump
towards the one beside you (three cubes tall) with the Star in it. While in
mid-air, breathe fire at it (the top one is the minimum requirement).
Repeat this if needed. Once you free the Star, grab it.

and trouble, triple-jump over that wall to find a narrow path. This action will
probably also result in you hitting the water - get out of it quick, as you'll
take damage! Back on the narrow path, go towards the intersection nearby.
Nearby, over the water to your right (if you face from where you came), you'll
find two floating enemies. Jump onto them (backflip for Luigi) to land on one.

will turn Luigi invisible. Continue forward and past the purple Bob-omb to the
wooden plank. Get onto it, then to the gray platform. Long jump to the cage

Episode #5 - Go to Town for the Red Coins
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For this, I recommend using a very high water level initially, to easily find
the cannon. Upon arriving, turn left and you'll find the tower that the Star
was on in the first episode. Go around this tower to the ramp and into the
cannon at the top. Aim towards the corner diagonal from you -- you'll want to
hit inside of the cage, so aim fairly high. Once you successfully land in
there, swim underwater and through the tunnel to the town area. Surface in
there and we'll begin.
We'll just assume that the Red Coin Buddy is facing north, to the steeple,
the entrance tunnel is to the southeast, and the cage is to the northwest, to
provide some cardinal directions. Additionally, those using Yoshi might want to
grab the Luigi hat, if any, nearby. Otherwise, you can't finish this...
-- You see the bridge the Red Coin Buddy is facing? Swim beneath the platform
at the other end of the bridge to find a Red Coin.
-- Go to the bottom of the southeast corner (not into the tunnel) to find a
crystal. Use it to drain the water, then hit the ! switch nearby. This will
make a brick nearby. Use it to climb to the roof nearby and break the brick
for a Red Coin.
-- See that stone wall to the north/northwest of your current position? Jump
onto the wall (easiest with a Luigi backflip) and hit both bricks for TWO
Red Coins.
-- Get on the west portion of the stone wall and jump (Luigi can backflip) to
the building to the west. Break the brick on there for a Red Coin.
-- Go northeast from there to find the steeple. Climb up the ledge to the
brick, then break it for a Red Coin.
-- See that building to the east with a brick? Jump to it (Luigi can backflip,
Mario can use the nearby ? block's Power Flower, others may have to raise
the water) and break the brick for a Red Coin.

You'll need Luigi for this level. You can find a cap of his in the town area,

For this, I recommend using a very high water level initially, to easily find
the cannon. Upon arriving, turn left and you'll find the tower that the Star
was on in the first episode. Go around this tower to the ramp and into the
cannon at the top. Aim towards the corner diagonal from you -- you'll want to

there, swim underwater and through the tunnel to the town area. Swim straight
down from the tunnel grating to find the water-lowering crystal.
Grab the Luigi hat if needed, then head north to the ? block. Face AWAY from
the Star and hit the ? block. Once Luigi is invisible, backflip to reach the

Episode #7 - Soaked Silver Stars
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'd prefer using Mario for this, and using a moderate/high water level.
-- See the curving bridge in front of you? Go beneath it for a Silver Star.
-- Use the crystal below it to lower the water level and head back to the start
of the level. Hit the bricks along the wall to find another Silver Star.
-- Use the crystal on the platform nearby, then head over to the small platform
nearby with the Zappy. Use that crystal, then go back to the start's bridge.
Use the ! switch on there and follow the path to the next Silver Star.
-- Remember that curving ramp from earlier? Go up it to the third level of the
area, then triple-jump to the fourth. Go down the ramp nearby and trigger
the crystal to raise the water. Cross the gap next to the Cannon Buddy now
and go forward to the ? block. Since you're using Mario, use the Power
Flower inside to float over to the Silver Star above the gray platform.
-- From the gray platform, you can pretty much jump off and find the Silver
Star in the water nearby.
After getting the five Silver Stars, when the Star appears, get another Power
Float and float on over to it.

The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
No specific episode is required, but I recommend using the lowest possible
water level.
This is an easy level to get the 100 Coins in. Just go around and break bricks,
defeat enemies, hit the yellow blocks, use the Blue Coin switch to the left of
the start, and always remember the town area (you'll need to raise the water
and use the cannon for that).

them are Monty Mole holes. Ascend the vinery and ledges here to skip a bunch
of work, then continue forward.
You'll find three more Goombas further ahead. Defeat them and continue. You
will find a waterfall ahead. Turn left for a 1-Up Mushroom, then long jump

four easy-to-grab Red Coins here. After getting them, proceed.
At the Monty Mole area, go up the ledges to the Luigi-capped Goomba, grabbing
the three Red Coins as you do. Up there, proceed up the incline a bit and turn
around to see an eighth Red Coin. Double/triple-jump to it.
After getting all eight Red Coins, head to the Monty Mole area if needed,

Episode #4 - Mysterious Mountainside
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
At the start, turn around and climb up the tree to find the owl. Fly up to the
top of the mountain and land, then backtrack until you're just past the cloud
(if you were going forward). You should see a trail of Coins leading up against
the wall nearby. Jump at it.
This is one big long slide, much like that one in Cool, Cool Mountain, but a
bit tougher. As you go down, I'll just imply that you get the several 1-Up
Mushrooms. As you descend, at the fork (sand or wood), take the wooden path.
In the tunnel, speed up and hang to the right and get on the sand, or you'll
fall. Soon after the tunnel, you'll reach a tight trail of about five Coins;
as you collect them, jump. (Try maintaining a high speed beforehand; otherwise,
don't.)
FYI, there are 44 or 45 Coins on the slide and I think 2 1-Up Mushrooms.
Anyhow, at the end, you'll find a hole in the room. Go down it and there is
your Star.

Episode #5 - Blast to the Lonely Mushroom
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Thank goodness for the owl! (Trust me, if you had to use the cannon...)
Upon arriving, turn around and climb up the tree to reveal the owl. Once you
can, grab onto it and use the Touch Screen to guide yourself over the Star.
Once you are, let go and IMMEDIATELY ground-pound. This is to prevent any
further distance that could be traveled due to inertia - a bit of pain is
better than a lost life, right? And you can see how small that mushroom is.
Once you land there, grab the Star.

Episode #6 - 5 Secrets of the Mountain
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need Mario (through character or cap) for this episode.
Upon arriving, turn around and climb up the tree to find the owl. Fly up to
the top of the mountain, where you'll find a ? block. Use it to get a feather
and then triple-jump and fly. Scattered around the mountain are five Coin
rings, all located at about the same altitude. Just simply go around and fly
through the center Coins of each to make your Star appear at the mountaintop.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Episode #7 - Breathtaking View from the Bridge
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need Wario (through character or cap) for this episode.
Upon arriving, turn around and climb up the tree to find the owl. Fly up to
the top of the mountain, then backtrack to the waterfall. Get on the ledge
next to it, then get behind the waterfall. Break the brick there for a Star.
Wow. That was EASY.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Okay. This one can be problematic if you have troubles finding all the Coins
you need. You'll see why shortly. Mario is, as such, almost required for this.
Anyhow, the basic strategy applies. Since the mountain is so linear, there is
no real need for me to say much. Just go up the mountain, defeating every
single enemy and grabbing every single Coin possible. Don't immediately go into
the slide room from Episode #4, okay. That will be too tough for the Star.
At the top, use the ? block to get a feather and fly around, collecting all of
the possible Coins from the rings. Be sure to go back regularly and grab
another feather.
Now, here's our problem. What if you didn't grab enough Coins (as in, threw
enemies over the edge instead of killing them on the mountain)? Well, you only
have one choice after scouring the mountain (again, this method is not very
desireable). You'll have to go to the slide and collect Coins on the way down.
There is around 45, so you'll have plenty to grab. However, you'll want to go
at a very low speed the whole time, because you'll be moving, even when the
Star pops up. When it does, you better be rapidly pressing the jump button.

Any character is usable here, but Yoshi makes things a bit tougher, unless you
are skilled at swallowing moving objects. Also, start the area huge (go through
the left painting).
Upon arriving, turn left to find an island. Go on over to it, then to the one
past it. There, you'll find a pipe. Go into it to turn to a smaller size.
Next, ground-pound on the pillar closest to the wall three times to find a
Mushroom. Use it to grow large, then quickly go around this platform and smash
all of the Piranha Plants here. There are six total. If you run out of Mushroom
power before defeating all six, just go around and punch them or eat their fire
and blow it at them (the latter is for Yoshi).
After all of the weeds are gone, you'll get your Power Star.

Start this area huge (left painting).
Upon arriving, turn left to find an island with a tree on it. Get on over to
that island and climb up the tree, facing your back to the higher ledge, then
jumping. Up there, go left and along the path to find a pipe. Jump into it to
become smaller.
When you're smaller, go back the way you came to soon find some ledges to your
left. Climb up both of them, being wary of the purple Bob-omb on the second
one. After avoiding it, go along the path and the narrow ledge, then some more
path to find a yellow block. Hit it to find the Star.

jumping. Up there, go left and along the path to find a pipe. Jump into it to
become smaller.
When you're smaller, go back the way you came and down the incline. You should
reach an area with some huge Goombas and Koopa the Quick walking around. Speak
with the latter and begin the race.
Go back towards the pipe, while running, then go past it. At the edge, turn
right and go forward and down the ledges for a bit. Once you reach the narrow
bridge, run at an oblique angle so as to counteract the force of the wind. On
the other side is the flag. Touch it to get your Star once Koopa the Quick
arrives.

Now, our destination is somewhat complicated to find, as far as description
goes. Assume where you started the level from was the southeast corner. Go to
the southwest corner, then north some to find a lone floating ledge. Land on
there.
Now, eventually, Klepto the Condor will fly over. Jump at his legs to force
him to let go of the Star and let it fall on this ledge.

Episode #5 - Wiggler's Red Coins
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'd use Mario for this level. It isn't required, but, with where we're going,
a wall jump just might save you. Plus, it makes it easier to get one of the
Red Coins and a 1-Up Mushroom. Additionally, start this level small (right
painting).
There are two methods to get where we're going upon your arrival. I'm the type
to prefer the owl, as usual. Get onto the island to your left, climb up the
tree, and grab onto the owl. When you start flying, head over the large wall to
the beach area. Now, next to the mountain, you'll find a curving path that is
about 1/4 of a circle. It has a few Coins on it and, if looked at from the
proper angle, leads to a hole in the wall. Try to land on the path
(ground-pounding works well) from the owl. If you fail, get up there by
defeating the Koopa nearby, then riding his shell up the mountain to the path.
Either way, get inside when you can.
Inside, you'll want to start by getting the first few Coins on your right, then
hopping along the path to the ? block, grabbing all seven Red Coins on the way.
Once you reach the ? block, bop it to find a Power Flower. Float across the
room towards the final Red Coin (and the 1-Up Mushroom). The Star should appear
then. Ground-pound it, basically.

ledges. Get up them and go along the narrow ledge. Continue forward to the
watery mountain peak. There, ground-pound the peak to cause a cave-in and some
leaking.
Go back down the mountain, along the previously-taken path, to the pipe. Go
into it to become smaller, then go back to the mountaintop, avoiding the purple
Bob-omb as you go. At the top, drop into the hole to find a Wiggler that is not
exactly pleased. (Are they ever? I mean, consider all of the Mario games, and
in few, if any, there has never been an instance where an in-game Wiggler was
not angered at SOMETHING.)
Anyhow, the main concept of the battle is simple: ground-pound Wiggler's head
quite a bit. As you succeed more and more, Wiggler will get angrier and
faster. Just keep it up; use the twenty (or so) Coins around the arena for
health restoration. At the end of the battle, grab the Star.

Not really I can say here. Just start as a small character (left painting) and

Red Coins and the Blue Coin switch. If needed, exit and get huge, then scour
the area again, because some Coins are only available when large.

get the Star.

Episode #3 - Coins Amassed in a Maze
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I recommend using Luigi (through character or cap) for this one. You'll get a
cap in a minute if you want, so don't really worry all to much about it.
Once you arrive, get onto the magic flying carpet in front of you. As you ride,
you'll come across a stone block. Jump over it. Not much further ahead is a
fire jet. Try to stay as close to the back as possible and, when the carpet
starts getting in its path and it stops flaming, immediately head to the front.
Jump onto the platform at the end.
There, go forward to the spinning platforms. Cross to the one farthest from
you and continue a bit more to the Red Coin maze.
-- Go ahead and grab the Luigi cap if needed. Head to where the unlit Star is
and make the camera view this place as if it was a 2D vertical maze.
Backflip onto the left platform for a Red Coin.
-- Long jump to the other ledge and go to the end, where you'll find some small
ledges near the edge of the maze. Get up them and to that small outside
ledge for a Red Coin.
-- Now, go back to the ledge just to the right of the unlit Star. Get onto the
small ledge above, then onto the bigger one. Go left to find a Red Coin near
an enemy.
-- See that gap above you? Backflip up it to grab that Red Coin. Be sure to
land on a ledge.
-- Get onto the left ledge and backflip to the right for a Red Coin.
-- Get onto the ledge to your left for another Red Coin.
-- Return to the previous platform and go to the right for another. Now, I'm
sure you can see the incline to the right. Go down it and jump in mid-air
for the Red Coin.

Episode #4 - Swingin' in the Breeze
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I recommend using Luigi (through character or cap) for this one. The below
method is the relatively main one, and used to get you used to this area.
However, consider reading the alternate method below this one, although
reading the first paragraph of the main method is a bit crucial to the
alternate method.
-----------
MAIN METHOD
-----------
Upon arriving, turn around to note a bit of activity on those platforms. You
can spin jump over to the pole there; that's where going anyway. You'll
sustain a bit of damage, though, so be sure to grab the Coins ahead.
After getting off of the stairs near the pole, you'll find a weight-sensitive
platform. Get on the left side so you can get on the right side when it has
been raised enough. (Or you can backflip to it.)
Next up is a swinging ledge. Get on it when it gets close to you, then get on
the next ledge when possible. You'll soon come to a tan platform, followed by
a weight-sensitive platform. Get on the left side of the latter to rise the
other side up, then get onto that tan platform, the next one, then the gray
platform. (Alternately, you can backflip from the center of the
weight-sensitive platform to the gray platform.) Either way, beware the fire
jet.
Next up, another tan platform. Long jump across the gap, or utilize the mobile
platform, to get across. Defeat the Goomba. Get onto the first platform of the
incline and backflip to the top. There will be a gap with a swinging ledge and
a fire jet. Luigi can use his backflip with its slow-down effect to get across,
although possibly burnt, and to get the Star.
----------------
ALTERNATE METHOD
----------------
I'm keeping the above method as explained above. Anyhow, when you long jump to
the pole at the start, climb up it and get to the edge of the platform
surrounding the pole. Now, backflip to the five-Coin platform next to the
incline. You can then backflip across the gap with the swinging ledge to the
Star.

Ignore it and continue forward to the tan platform, wedged incline, another
tan platform, and gap with a fire jet. You might be able to backflip over them
all.
Nearby is a ! switch. Hit it to make all of the pyramid shapes flatter. You'll
have to cross quickly; once the clock starts to tick faster, get off if you're
on the lower level, or backflip on the higher. Repeat if needed, then get to
the Star.

Episode #6 - Somewhere Over the Rainbow
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need Mario for this one.
Once you arrive, get onto the magic flying carpet in front of you. As you ride,
you'll come across a stone block. Jump over it. Not much further ahead is a
fire jet. Try to stay as close to the back as possible and, when the carpet
starts getting in its path and it stops flaming, immediately head to the front.
Jump onto the platform at the end.
O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| NOTE - The below is only required if you haven't activate the cannon yet! |
O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O
There, go forward to the spinning platforms. Cross to the one farthest from
you and continue a bit more to the Red Coin maze. There, go to the far end of
it, near the Blue Coin switch. Wall jump up the wall and go along the path,
using the Cannon Buddy as you go.
O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| NOTE - The below you'll have to deal with either way. |
O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O
Okay, if you activated the cannon, return to the spinning platforms and go to
the magic carpet. As you fly on the carpet, you'll soon come across two stone
blocks. Jump over them in succession. (I find this carpet easier if you try to
use a side view, like a 2D platformer.)
Further ahead are some more, longer blocks. Jump over them and you'll soon
reach two carpets. Take the one on the left. Follow it for a bit to find a
spinning platform with two planks extending from it. Stay on the carpet and
avoid them as best as you can. Further ahead, you'll find two more stone
blocks.
Further ahead is a tan platform. Get on it and backflip up to the colorful
ledge above you. Get onto the ship and into the cannon. Aim through the ring
in your targeting cursor -- you don't want to do this again -- and you'll
hopefully get onto the pole. Slide to the bottom and quickly head over to the
yellow block, avoiding the enemy nearby. Hit the block for your Star.

Episode #7 - Switch Star of the Manor
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You'll need Mario for this one.
Once you arrive, get onto the magic flying carpet in front of you. As you ride,
you'll come across a stone block. Jump over it. Not much further ahead is a
fire jet. Try to stay as close to the back as possible and, when the carpet
starts getting in its path and it stops flaming, immediately head to the front.
Jump onto the platform at the end.
There, go forward to the spinning platforms. Go onto the one on your right (as
if you were still looking forward from when you dropped off) and continue going
this way to a flying carpet. As you fly, you'll soon come across two stone
blocks. Jump over them in succession. (I find this carpet easier if you try to
use a side view, like a 2D platformer.)
Further ahead are some more, longer blocks. Jump over them and you'll soon
reach two carpets. Take the one on the right. As you ascend, you'll get blocked
by a box. Backflip onto it, then get back onto the carpet as it passes through.
Further ahead, in the house, get off of the carpet and proceed along the
carpet's path outside to a ledge. There should be a wooden ledge nearby. Get on
it and go to the end of it. There is a switch there.
Stand on that switch to make a Star appear on the roof. Quickly but carefully,
go back into the house and use the Power Flower from the ? block to reach the
roof. This is a precision move, so don't do any moving aside from going up
until you can see the hole in the roof. Anyhow, once you successfully get
through the hole, hit the glass sphere for a Star.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 100-Coin Star
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Perhaps the toughest 100-Coin Star of all, I guess I must be a bit specific
with it. Enter with Mario.
Upon arriving, go along the flying carpet's path. As you do, jump onto the
Zappy's platform and grab the Coins from there, then quickly get back onto the
carpet. Proceed to the platform at the end of the path. There, get on the
spinning platforms for some more Coins. You should be at ~24.
Go to the Red Coin maze next. There, grab the eight Red Coins. Then go on
over to the Blue Coin switch and wall jump up there for another bunch of Coins.
This brings you to ~70.
Now, return to the spinning platforms and take the path to the next magic
carpet. Go along it and along both the left and right paths, invading the
house and the airship. That might be enough. If not, head on over to the area
with the tricky triangles and all that. That'll finish it up for you.
FYI, save the tricky triangles area for last. If you end up with 95 Coins, go
there as soon as possible, grabbing no more Coins until then. We don't want a
100-Coin Star to end up in the air, and then we end up losing a life and doing
this crap all over again.

Begin by going forward until you find a Piranha Plant on a tree stump. Climb
on the wire behind it to find a Red Coin. On the other side, turn to the right
and continually go that way until you find some moving tree stumps. Go to the
end to find a Piranha Plant with another Red Coin.
Back on the area before the tree stumps, look to the left to find a yellow
block, a gray platform, and a few Goombas. Go onto the gray platform to find
a Red Coin, then cross the gray platform bridge nearby. A ? block is at the
end. Use it to float to the top of the huge tree trunk nearby for a Red Coin.
Head to the ground near the trunk now and use the Luigi cap. Go back to the
? block from earlier. Once you use its Power Flower to become invisible,
backflip and float over to the ground near the tree trunk. Go to its front of
sorts and backflip into the cage for a Red Coin.
Now, backtrack to the yellow block platform, but keep going to the corner. Get
on the moving tree trunk here and, at the trunk's peak, backflip to the Red
Coin. Now, go to the next unvisited corner and climb the vine and look around
for a tree branch with a Red Coin. Grab it and hit the ground.

brick, then jump into the hole beneath it.
Upon arriving, you'll be on a giant slide. Four Red Coins are on the ledges
there. One is on the top-left ledge, another on the top-middle, and two more
on the bottom ledges. If you fail to grab them all, go around the corner and
across the weight-sensitive bridge to a Mario cap, then go back to the bottom
of the slide to find a ? block. Float up to the central ledge if you need an
addition Power Flower to get higher.
Now, go forward as previously described to the Mario cap, then on the ledge
next to it. You'll see some rotating platforms nearby. Use them to get to the

To play the minigames, you must either go to the Rec Room from the main menu,
speak with the Toad there in-game, or opt to go there after catching a minigame
key-holding rabbit. Anyway, you'll then be allowed to play certain groups of
minigames. Each character (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Wario) has their own group of
minigames, which cannot be played unless that character is unlocked on one of
the game cartridge's files.
Even after obtaining a character, the majority of their minigames will remain
locked. To unlock them, you must find the minigame keys rabbits throughout the
castle hold. Their locations are listed in Section II. Each rabbit corresponds
to a certain character and only that character's rabbits will appear at a given
time. (Mario cannot catch Yoshi's rabbits, for example.) To catch a rabbit, you
must either grab it or swallow it, depending on who you're using at the time.
Once you get the rabbit, you'll obtain the minigame key and unlock a new
minigame. Minigame rules and tips are listed in Section III.

miniature hedge maze. You'll find a rabbit in here somewhere.
In the basement area, with the maze-like hallways, there is a rabbit down there
somewhere.
Once you drain the castle's moat, go into the newly-dried moat and look around
for another rabbit.
O===========================================================================O
| Section 2 - Mario's Rabbits **SM64DS_522** |
O===========================================================================O
All of Mario's rabbits are of a reddish or pinkish coloration.
When facing the castle entrance, go left and towards waterfall. A rabbit is
roaming around there.
In the room with the Jolly Roger Bay painting, you'll find a rabbit.
In the basement area, where the maze-like hallways are, you'll find two rabbits
roaming around.
After draining the castle moat, go there and look around for another rabbit.
On the castle upper floor is another rabbit, generally found hanging around the
staircase.
A rabbit hangs out in the mirror room of the upper floor of the castle. It is
the same area where you'll find the entrance to Snowman's Land and the entrance
to the area where you find and save Wario.
O===========================================================================O
| Section 3 - Luigi's Rabbits **SM64DS_523** |
O===========================================================================O
All of Luigi's rabbits are of a green coloration.
Go to the area where you start the game each time you start it up, then turn
left and head forward some to a rabbit.
Go to the room with the Bob-omb Battlefield painting to find a rabbit.
Go to the castle courtyard (go through an unmarked door on the ground floor
and chase the Boo). Outside, backflip to the higher ledge above you for a
rabbit.
Head to the room with the Mario painting; it is behind the Rec Room and you
need eight Power Stars to get there.
Head to the basement area and ground-pound the two pillars if you haven't yet
done so. Once you have, exit this room and come back to find a rabbit in the
middle tunnel area.
In the hallway on the upper floor, you'll find this li'l critter running
around.
This is by far the most arduous and time-taking to get. You'll need to get all
150 Power Stars and go to the cannon in front of the castle. Shoot up to the
roof of the castle to find it.
O===========================================================================O
| Section 4 - Wario's Rabbits **SM64DS_524** |
O===========================================================================O
All of Mario's rabbits are of a brown coloration.
When facing the castle entrance, go right, across the bridge, then left to find
the ramp into the moat. Look around here; the rabbit is hiding somewhere...
Go to the castle courtyard (go through an unmarked door on the ground floor
and chase the Boo). Outside, check the wall near the fountain.
You'll find a rabbit in the room with the Whomp's Fortress painting.
Another rabbit is somewhere in the hall-maze of the basement.
On the upper floor, head into the room with the paintings to go to Tiny-Huge
Island to find another rabbit.
You'll find a rabbit running around on the upper floor.
Also on the upper floor, jump into the alcove on the wall with the Rainbow Ride
hole in the ground to find this rabbit.
O===========================================================================O
| Section 5 - White Rabbit Details **SM64DS_525** |
O===========================================================================O
After collecting 80 Power Stars, you will probably begin to notice white,
glowing rabbits popping up in locations, as described above, that the other
rabbits would pop up. Although these rabbits do not yield keys to the minigames
of the Rec Room, they serve a more valuable purpose. There are eight of these
rabbits and, if you catch them all, you'll get a key. This key unlocks the
unmarked door in the character-swapping room. Inside, you'll find a Power Star.
It is worth your time to try and find these li'l buggers -- you'll actually
need to get this Power Star (and all of the other 149) to get one of Luigi's
rabbits.

Wanted!
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
A picture of a character is shown on the top screen, and you soon find a bunch
of faces on the Touch Screen. Within the given time limit, you are to tap the
face of the character on the top screen. This nets you five more seconds and
you'll proceed to the next level.
Tips:
- Try to recognize certain features of characters. Cap color is crucial. Yoshi
is fairly unique. Luigi's chin is more pointed than Mario's, and his eyes are
narrower. Wario's eyes has no iris at all, and he has a jagged mustache with
a lumpy chin.
Personal Best: Level 121.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Loves Me...?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
Not really a point to this minigame. Here, you'll find a flower on the Touch
Screen, and you'll have to pluck its petals by tapping them with the stylus.
They'll alternate between "Loves me" and "Loves me not". The end result is
whatever the result of the final petal is. "Loves me" is a pseudo-win and
"Loves me not" is a pseudo-loss. There are special messages for when the same
ending occurs thrice in a row, but that's really it.
Tips: None.
Personal Best: N/A.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hide-and-Boo Seek
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
For this minigame, you'll shortly watch Boos travel on the Touch Screen. Keep
track of them, because the room will blacken shortly and you'll have a mere
three seconds to reveal all of the Boos by rubbing over them. You'll have to
reveal them somewhat completely, and they can travel while the room is dark.
Other than that, not much to say. Reveal all of the Boos to reach the next
level. Level 16 and onward limit you to two seconds.
Tips: None.
Personal Best: Level 17.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Puzzle Panel
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
On the Touch Screen is a grid puzzle, and the version of it you want will be
on the top screen. With the number of turns given to you, you must tap tiles
to flip over them and the eight adjacent tiles to make the picture on the top
screen. You are allowed three misses per puzzle; losing them all ends the game.
Tips:
- I find it best to figure out the "problem areas" of the puzzle; those with
the incorrect tiles. I then try to figure out moves that would apply to that
area and fix it. If areas are impossible with one flip, I try to flip it over
with a second flip by extending the "flip area" of another "problem area",
then use a similar technique as I progress.
Personal Best: Level 23.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Boom Box
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
In this game, you'll open up treasure chests on the Touch Screen by tapping
them with the stylus. Each chest makes a unique sound; match two chests with
the same sound to do it right. Do this with each pair of chests to continue
to the next level. If you miss thrice in a single level, the game ends.
Tips:
- Admittedly, it sometimes helps to be more familiar with the Mario series.
- You can try to purposely pick four different chests and miss. Odds are that
this will reveal enough sounds for you to make some pairs when you open up
the next chest. Then just go from there. But you'll have to note the sound
carefully!
Personal Best: Level 9.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Tox Box Shuffle
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
On the screen, you'll see a Yoshi (at least one) standing next to a box. Keep
track it/them as the boxes move around, then select the box containing the
Yoshi requested on the top screen. Correct selections move you to the next
level.
Tips: None.
Personal Best: Level 11.

Which Wiggler?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
On the top screen, you'll see a Wiggler. You'll need to select a Wiggler on
the bottom screen within the time limit; the Wiggler's back markings must
match the Wiggler you select, or you'll lose ten seconds. Correct selections
net you five seconds and the next level.
Tips:
- Generally, memorizing only one or two of the Wiggler's body segments will
work out (mathematically, anyhow). Since there are four combos per
the four segments, there are 256 possible Wigglers. For each segment you
memorize, you will cut down that number by 1/4!
Personal Best: Level 21.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Mix-a-Mug
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
On the top screen, you'll see a character's face. Using the slots on the
bottom screen, you are to make that character's face. Stop the slots by tapping
each of the three rows. You'll lose three Coins for a bad combo; you'll earn
3 or 6 Coins for a correct guess and a correct guess in the center,
respectively. The latter two also net the next level.
Tips:
- It is a matter of timing and focus. The slots are not randomized; they repeat
at very regular intervals.
Personal Best: Level 63. Coin max unknown.

Mario's Slides
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
Across the screens are these white lines. At the bottom are some Piranha
Plants and Stars. At the top is Mario's head. His head will slide down, taking
any possible side branch. You want to draw such side branches on the bottom
screen to move him over to the Star.
Tips:
- Be minimalist. Draw as few lines as possible, because they only reset each
five levels.
- Try to quickly plot out Mario's track and change it ahead of time.

Bounce and Pounce
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
You'll have to control three Marios that are in the air. To do so, all you can
do is tap them to make them jump. You'll also find three Fly Guys on the
screen. You'll have to have the Marios jump on them to defeat them. Defeat them
all to proceed to the next level; if three Marios fall off the bottom of the

Sort or 'Splode
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
Admittedly one of my favorite games. On the Touch Screen, red and black
Bob-ombs will pour into the room, at greater frequency as you go. You are to</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
move the black Bob-ombs into the black square, and the red Bob-ombs into the
red square. The game continues until you wait too long until putting a Bob-omb
in a square, or if you put a Bob-omb in the wrong pen.
Tips:
- Try moving in chronological order. Move the first Bob-ombs first, and so on.
Personal Best: 303 Bob-ombs.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Trampoline Time
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
Look on the right side of the screen. One of two ledges are lit up. Whenever a
ledge is lit up, you want a Mario to be there. To get him there, you generally
will want to let him bounce up there. To bounce him up there, draw a trampoline
on the Touch Screen with the stylus. You'll be limited to three trampolines,
excluding the safety trampoline that has three bounces. If three Marios fall
below the gap, you fail.
Tips:
- Try to be survivalist with this.
Personal Best: 72 points.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Shuffle Shell
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
Using the five Koopa Shells given to you, you want to knock them into the
target, as close to the center as possible. To knock them to it, drag the blue
paddle to the Koopa Shell. After all five Shells are shot, your score is
totaled.
Tips:
- Remember, just because a Shell is scored one round doesn't mean it won't be
scored again. Therefore, don't try to knock your Shells off of the target.
Personal Best: 1,700 points.

Shell Smash
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
Here, you'll want to smash your Shell into the others. To do so, just use the
blue paddle and smack it into the Shell. Of course, you'll want to hit the
Shells as much as possible, especially the green ones, who yield ten times
the normal point amount. You get five Shells.

Trampoline Terror

Details:
In this game, you will have a bunch of Marios on-screen. While they are, you
not only want to keep them alive by drawing trampolines beneath them, but you
also want to launch them through the hoops in the sky - you'll get points for
this, and more points for getting multiple hoops without using a trampoline.
The game will end when three Marios fall off the bottom of the screen,

Picture Poker
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Details:
You'll be dealt five cards. Of these cards, you'll want to form certain poker
combos: a pair, two pairs, three of a kind, full house (two of one kind, three
of another), four of a kind, or five of a kind. Those combos are ranked like
that, worst (aside from nothing) to best. You can choose to discard some cards
(tap the undesired cards and tap "Hit") or to hold them all. You can also up
your bet, if you're that confident.
Luigi will do the same for his hand. The hands are then compared, using a
"weight" system for hands that are the same - Cloud, Mushroom, Flower, Luigi,
Mario, and Star, from worst to best. If you win, you'll get a certain multiple
of your bet amount, listed in the chart on the top screen.
Tips:
- Whenever you have nothing, get rid of it all.
- When you have a pair or better, get rid of the nonessential things.

Details:
You'll have to defend your four precious flowers on the Touch Screen from the
Bob-ombs raining from above. To do so, use the slingshot to launch a cannonball
at the Bob-ombs. You'll get points for that, and the points increase as the
same cannonball hits more and more Bob-ombs. You can also hit Lakitus to get
rid of all the on-screen Bob-ombs for 100 points each. The game gets more
hectic as you go, and ends upon all your flowers being burnt.
Tips:
- Lakitus are your friends ... the friends you like to smack with cannonballs!
- Try more parabolic shots. In other words, use less-energized shots that end
up staying on-screen and coming down, generally hitting more Bob-ombs.
