Welcome
=======
Welcome to my 2nd FAQ. It is my Super Mario 64 FAQ. I haven't found any
that tells you about all the courses and gives you full info. I will try to
give you that. If you still haven't found your "question", please e-mail me
and then I'll be sure to give the answer. Trust me, I won't let you down if
you need help! Well anyway, hopefully you will enjoy. This will be long, so
make sure to print out the stuff you want by highlighting the stuff that you
want and printing it out. I'm thinking that this will be in the 100 KB to
150 KB. This maybe my longest FAQ that I'll write!

The Story
=========
(my version)
It all started with a cake (it ends with a cake too). Princess
Toadstool wrote an invatation to Mario to come to the castle party.
Mario cheerfully examines the invitation from the princess, and he
proudly yells, "Yipee!" as he gets changed properly to meet Peach. He
leaves the Pipehouse and goes to Mushroom Palace via warp tunnel. When
he gets on the castle grounds, he notices that it is quiet. Only the
sound of birds are whistling and the flapping wings of butterflies.
But Mario decides that it will be a Surprise Party for Mario, so he
decided to "take the cake" and enter the castle.
When he enters, he heard the most unforgettable laughing he has
ever heard, and it was the sound of...hmmm, someone. Mario decides to
check through the doors. All of them were locked, accept the one on
the left bottom side of the balcony. Mario enters and he sees the most
magnificent and intelligent painting ever. It was pretty darn big,
too! When Mario examines the painting, he heard a faint voice calling
for him. Mario wonders who it could be? He decided to give it a
chance to see if he could somehow enter the painting. He decided to
use the "jump" method. He jumps into the painting and he lands into a
glacing beautiful land. It's the painting that he had seen in the
castle! It was true--you could enter this painting. Mario decides to
investigate the land. He ran into some bob-ombs, so Mario started to
walk away. He then notices that they are his pals, the Bob-Omb
Buddies. Mario asks them what has happened. They responded, "We don't
have the exact details, but some green-shelled person ran into the
castle, took Princess and Toad and hid them in the attack."
Mario knew who it was...it was that laughing sound he heard, the sound
of Bowser!
The Bob-Omb Buddies also told Mario that Bowser hid all the Power
Stars around the castle and now you have to collect all of them to
release Peach and Toad. "I'm really gonna give Bowser the time of
his life!" said Mario.

Menu Screen
===========
After you press the START button when prompted, you'll be at the Menu screen,
with these options:
-Game Files (4)
-Score
-Copy
-Erase
-Audio
>GAME FILES
You have a choice of four game files to save your game to. Heck, you'll need
them. It's almost impossible to collect 120 stars in 24 hours ;).
>SCORE
This file has all coins you've collected in a level. Remember that you can
see a score file for one file, or all files!
>COPY
Incase if you think a file will be erased, you can back it up on another
file. If you have 3 other siblings in one house, it wouldn't be a good idea
to use this.
>ERASE
What do you think it does?
>AUDIO
Choose from Stereo (must have A/V Inputs, which means no screw-in
connections), Mono, or Headset (headphones).
Cast of Characters
==================
Here are the list of important people/micelanious in the game.
>MARIO MARIO
Yep, that's his full name--Mario Mario. His brother is named Luigi
Mario. That's why they're called the Mario Bros. Did you know that?
Anyway, he is the main man--he's the only guy that you actually "have
control of".
>BOB-OMB BUDDIES
Yep, these are the best enemy friends that you can find. You can find
these dudes in every course. They are for opening the bomb launchers.
Some are easy to find, and some are tough to find. Don't worry--I'll
tell you all of the locations.
>PRINCESS TOADSTOOL (PEACH)
Her full name is: Peach "Princess" Toadstool. She is so-called your
honey-bun. She is also one of the people that you have to rescue in
the Mushroom Kingdom. Good luck to ya!
>TOAD MUSHROOM
His friends and he are also locked in the castle. Rescue him, too!
>KOOPA THE QUICK
Here's the biggest koopa troopa ever! Beat him in two races and you
will be named the most fast racer! Note that he is harder the second
time.
NOTE: This is all the special characters that I could think of right
off my head. If you have any more characters (not enemies) please e-
mail me.
Items and Caps
==============
Here are the main (and best) items that I have found. If you have
more, please e-mail me.
--------
1) COINS
--------
>YELLOW COIN WORTH: 1 COIN(S)
This is the most popular coin in the game and from all those other
Mario games. Find these from most enemies and scattered around all
over!
>BLUE COIN WORTH: 5 COIN(S)
Mostly found from those Blue (pound the ground) Switches. You can also
find these by jumping/punching those Koopa Troopas without their
shells.
>RED COIN WORTH: 2 COIN(S)
Find 8 of these in every course. Wonder why??
---------------
2) MISCELANIOUS
---------------
>SPINNING HEART
Run through this if you need your life meter filled up.
>1-UP MUSHROOM
These are sort of hard to get, but with practice, you can get them!
They add an extra life to your...lives.
>KOOPA SHELL
Ride on these...they are pretty cool. Get these by stomping on a Koopa
Troopa and jumping on their shell.
>! BOX
Make sure to always hit these! You never know what the heck's in 'em!
-------
3) CAPS
-------
>WING CAP COLOR: RED LOCATION: IN THE CASTLE
To get this cap, go into the castle. Stand on that big potrait of the
princess with the flower. Press C-up and look in the sun.
>METAL CAP COLOR: GREEN LOCATION: IN HAZY MAZE CAVERN (COURSE 6)
Get this in the Hazy Maze Cavern. I'm sure you can find without me helping
you, just keep on looking!
>VANISH CAP COLOR: BLUE LOCATION: IN THE CASTLE MOAT
Once you lower the water in the castle moat, you will find a hole. Go
into it to find the Vanish Cap.
Mario's Moves
=============
Man, this is gonna be a while to to! This will probably be as long as
my Star Fox 64 FAQ! I will list EVERY move that Mario does
(hopefully).
------------------
1) THE BASIC MOVES
------------------
>WALKING / RUNNING
To walk, all you have to do is press the Control Stick just a little
ways from the middle. To run, push the Control Stick a lot farther
from the middle. The harder the push, the faster Mario runs.
>JUMPING
Just press the A button.
>CRAWLING
For the first time ever, you can crawl! Just hold the Z button and
move the Control Stick around. Easy as that.
>SWIMMING
To swim horozontally, just use these two techniques: the arm stroke and
the kick stroke. The arm stroke is simply pressing the A button
repeatedly. The kick stroke is holding the A button. This is slower.
To swim down further (watch your life meter), just press up on the
Control Stick until Mario faces down. Then, press the A button to
swim. To jump out of the water, just press down on the Control Stick
until Mario faces up all the way. Then, press the A button.
>FLYING
To fly, you need to have the Wing Cap. Once you have it, you can start
flying by doing two things. 1) Getting shot out of a cannon -or- 2)
Jumping 3 times. To fly, just steer the Control Stick around. To stop
flying, you can do two things. 1) Press the Z button -or- 2) Let the
flying time run out.
>SLIDING
You can slide two ways: on your butt or on your stomach. When you are
sliding on your butt, you can jump. I always do that! To slide
faster (either way) just press the Control Stick all the way up.
>SHELL RIDE
You can find these in ! boxes, or you can just stomp on a Koopa Troopa
and ride its shiny shell. You can also ride these in water but it is
very hard to do. These go fast, so make sure to steer with the Control
Stick well! You can also jump while you're on these, which is kinda
neat! Whenever you hit something, you will fall off and can't go on it
again.
-----------------------
2) TIPS FOR THE MOTIONS
-----------------------
>JUMP ANGLES
If you don't know where you are going to jump if you are on a pole,
tree, etc., then remember this. What Mario's back is facing he will
jump for.
>SHADOW SPELL
If you are having trouble jumping on enemies or any other miscelanious
objects, just follow the shadow! Once your shadow is on the
object/enemy, you should be able to destroy it, open it, etc.
>HANDSTANDS
These are neet to do! Just go to the top of the tree or pole, circle
around while holding up on the Control Pad and you should to a perfect
handstand. Follow the "Jump Angle" rule to jump off it the right way.
-------------------------
3) MARIO'S FIGHTIN' MOVES
-------------------------
>PUNCHING
To punch, just press the B button. To do cool punch + a kick, press
the B button 3 times fast. Hey! This is better than the hammer!
>JUMPIN' 'N STOMPIN'
Mostly old characters that like to jump on enemies will do this to
destroy an enemy or object. Just press the A button.
>POUND THE GROUND
To perform this stunt, just press the A button and while in the air
press the Z button. This is mostly for pounding in stuff.
>SLIDIN' KICKIN'
To do this, run fast and then jump. Once you land, you should be
scooting on your butt, kicking all the stuff out of your way!
>JUMPIN' KICK
Are those flying enemies giving you a pain? Just use the technique by
pressing the B button while Mario is in the air.
>SWEEP KICK
If you want to play a "joke" on your enemies, just hold Z and press the
B button.
----------------
4) JUMPING MOVES
----------------
>LONG JUMP
To do a long jump, just run at full speed, and then press Z. Once you
are skidding, press the A button and you should jump a long ways.
>TRIPLE-JUMP
To do this trick, jump three times in a row. Make sure to run while
doing this.
>WALL KICK / JUMP
I call this the Wall Jump, but some people refer it to Wall Kick. Just
jump to the wall, and once you reach the wall, press the A button. You
should come riocheting off the wall.
>BACKWARD FLIP
I can't do this, but Mario can! Just hold the Z button and press the A
button. I can do a backward SOMERSAULT though!
>SIDE FLIP
Can't do this either, but Mario can! I think he's too athletic {=^).
Just run fast and then while doing so, move the Control Stick fast to
the opposite side that you are running + press the A button. It is
sort of tough to master, but you can do it!
Mario's Enemies
===============
Here is the list of all the enemies. Thanks to Nintendo Power for the
names of these.
>GOOMBA
The most classical enemy still out there in Nintendo land. Just stomp
on him or punch him.
>BOOK END
A new enemy and he's only located in Big Boo's Haunt. To destroy it,
jump on it or try to punch it.
>SWOOP
Don't know for sure if this is the first time he's in the Mario Enemy
Land? Anyway, just jump/punch to kill him.
>FLY-GUY
These guys are in Super Mario Bros. 2, right? But, they aren't SHY
guys. They don't swoop toward you like these you.
>SPINDRIFT
Jumping on these guys are the best policy since you will be able to fly
for a while. You can punch these too and get its coins faster.
>SKEETER
Oh, this guy's a real pain...NOT! He's so dang easy, all you have to
do is jump on the stupid thing.
>LAKITU
He's the most popular weirdo in Nintendo land. Of course, you won't
see him in many places. Just stomp on him to defeat.
>SCUTTLE-BUG
This enemy will follow you around the place, so it's best to stomp on
it before it gets annoying.
>WHOMP
To defeat this lego piece, just let him see you. He will then try to
smash you. Once he is laying on his back, use the Pound the Ground
technique on the band-aid X.
>BOO BUDDY
The best way to destroy this piece of dust is to use Pound the Ground
on it.
>MONEY BAGS
You can kill these by stomping or using Pound the Ground. The best
thing about these is that if you destroy it, it will put out 5 coins
out for you to get.
>BOB-OMB
Don't get confused with the Bob-Omb Buddies--they are red. These are
black. To detonate these the "throwing" way, pick them up (B button)
and throw them (pressing the B button again).
>CHUCK-YA
To defeat this boxer, pick him up from the behind (not the front) and
throw the jerk on it's butt to destroy. Don't throw this guy off the
cliff--if you don't, he will give you a ton of coins.
>MR. I.
All you do is run around it until it gets dizzy enough to go away.
>MR. BLIZZARD
Defeat him the same way you did with Mr. I.
>BULLET BILL
You can only stomp on this to defeat it, but you still won't get
anything if you do.
>TOX BOX
You can't destroy it, but to not get smashed, go under the opened part
of it.
>UNAGI THE EEL
Unagi cannot be defeated, but he does have a star on his tail...oh
dang!
>BUB & BUBBA
These two so-called "cool fish" can't be defeated. Just stay away from
these guys.
>SPINDEL & GRINDEL
Now they sound very nice, don't they? You can jump on Grindel, but
stay out of Spindel's way!
>GHOST PIANO
You can't defeat this with your bare hands, but you can make it run
into the wall to defeat it. You won't get a reward, though.
>AMP
Don't bother him--he's just another enemy.
>THWOMP
Ride the head, but don't get smashed on the bottom of the head! This
guy is undestructable, so don't bother!
>CHAIN-CHOMP
This guy is only in Course 1. To get rid of it, just pound the stake
in...grrrrr!
>KLEPTO
Here's a bird that likes hats--and Mario's hat is absolutely what this
turkey wants! Punch it or kick it if it is wearing your hat. If not--
kill it anyway!
>SUSHI
Just stay away from this shark.
>HEAVE-HO
"Step right up! Put your feet on the feet marks and get lifted up to
the next floor. This is new invention made from Bowser Productions,
Inc." How's that for a speech?
>FWOOSH
Becareful of this guy--he can blow your hat off!
>PIRANHA PLANT
Sneak quietly up to him, then punch him to receive a blue coin.
>SNUFIT
Just like the Snifits, this guy can now fly. Once you get toward this
guy, jump and kick/punch it!
>POKEY
This guy looks tough, but it has a weak point. Just punch in the body
to weak it down until it disappears.
>BOWSER
Do I really have to explain this guy?
Are these all the enemies?? If you have more, please e-mail me. Thanks.
Review
======
Here is my review for Super Mario 64.
>Graphics (8/10)
OK, you have to admit, this was Nintendo's almost-first try at the N64. All
it has is a 64 megabit cart, for crying out loud! Anyway, this game is
outstanding, and it does have glitches (like every game for N64), but pretty
good for a 64 megabit cart. Other than that, this game has great graphics!
>Sound (8/10)
I have not yet found a sound that wasn't supposed to be there, so that's why
the points are up there, but there are those sounds in the game that make you
want to cringe (*ahem* baby penguin *ahem*). It also has some pretty good
tunes, but nothing fancy.
>Play Control (9/10)
Can anyone say, "Perfect!". This game has great responsive play control, and
trust me, I only counted one time where Mario wasn't fast enough for my
controller, but just ONE! If you had more, it must be your controller.
>Satisfaction (10/10)
Yes, right here. You heard it right. A perfect score. This game has a
great adventure mode. You can do all kinds of things, and a great game for
beginners of the N64. The only thing that I didn't like was the story (cake
… please), but I didn't count it against it.
>Multi-Player (---)
This game has no multiplayer.
>OVERALL SCORE (9/10)
A great game, a few glitches, but nothing too terrible. I think everyone
should own this game, even if you aren't an adventure person and like to
shoot everything you can find ;)
Walkthrough
===========
Whew! I finally got here! Well, this should tell you everything, so
be happy! It will take me a while.
C O U R S E 1: B O B - O M B B A T T L E F I E L D
***************************************************
Star 1: Big Bob-Omb on the Summit
---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Well, this is the first time you'll meet the Bob-Omb Buddies. The
objective of this level is to go up the mountain and reach the summit.
You will meet Big Bob-Omb.
=================
BOSS: BIG BOB-OMB
=================
To defeat this guy, just go a couple feet away from him, then keep on
turning until you face him in the back. Quickly, grab his rear end and
throw him. Don't throw him off the mountain though. Repeat two more
times and you should defeat him. After you defeat him, you will
receive your first star!
Star 2: Footrace With Koopa the Quick
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
There are plentiful shorcuts that you could use, but all of them are
cheating ones. I have only found one shorcut that doesn't count. Just
reach the mountain. Once you find a hole in the mountain, go into it
and wait to be warped. If you don't, continue until you reach another
one and repeat. You should reach the top of the mountain!
=============================
A CLOSE LOOK: KOOPA THE QUICK
=============================
Koopa the Quick may seem big and not fast enough to run, but he is
pretty fast. If you just stay on target and go the right way without
trying to cheat, you should make it on the top before he does.
Star 3: Shoot to the Island in the Sky
--------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
Here is my way to reach the island. Just go into the Water Bomb area
where the stone with a cannon in it is. Just reach the cannon and aim
all the way up once you get in it. Then shoot out of it. You should
reach the area of the island where the sign is. Then, just go toward
the ! Box and open it to find the star.
Star 4: Find the Eight Red Coins
--------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
Here it is! The list of the 8 Red Coins! Now, I'll just list it from 1
to 8, OK?
1-Jump on the rotating platform
2-On a small grassy hill
3-On the chain chomp's stake
4-In the middle of the two stakes to the left
5-In the middle of the two stakes to the right
6-Under the arch
7-On the long grassy hill
8-On top of the tree on the floating island
Star 5: Mario Wings to the Sky
------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: WING CAP
This star I think is the hardest in this whole course. First, reach
the floating isle, then open up the Wing Cap box. Make sure you have
the Wing Cap. If not, look above to see how to get the Wing Cap.
Next, grab the Wing Cap and and go into the cannon. Now, aim EXACTLY
at the middle coin of the first ring. Shoot him out of the cannon.
Now, just let Mario do the rest of the work-don't even move the Control
Stick. Once you go through all the rings, you should receive a star by
the Star 4 star.
Star 6: Behind Chain Chomp's Gate
---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
This star is pretty easy if you know how to do it. First, reach Chain
Chomp. Pound the stake that his holding him three times by doing the
pound the ground technique. Chain Chomp should then break open the
cell that holds the star and run away. Nab the star and congrats! You
have done all your objectives.except one that appears in every course.
=========================
A CLOSE LOOK: CHAIN CHOMP
=========================
Here is a guy that you don't wanna mess with! Just try to stay out of
the way while you are pounding in the stake or getting the red coin.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
C O U R S E 2: W H O M P ` S F O R T R E S S
*********************************************
Star 1: Chip Off Whomp's Block
------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
First of all, you need to climb up the castle. Do that by going.up!
Once you reach the top of the castle, you will reach Whomp King.
================
BOSS: WHOMP KING
================
To defeat this block, use this easy step. Go in front of it. While it
is jumping on you, run under him. Now, you should see an X. Pound the
ground it. Repeat this step two more times to finish him off.
Star 2: To the Top of the Fortress
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
Whoa! First you have to go to the top of the fortress, but now the
fortress now has a tower-with a star on top of the tower. Now you have
to travel back up the castle in order to get it. Oh boy!
=========================
A CLOSE LOOK: BULLET BILL
=========================
Who remebers this old fella? Well, he can be destroyed the same way,
but you won't get anything out of it, so just try to ignore it.
Star 3: Shoot Into the Wind Blue
--------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: CANNONS ARE OPEN
Make sure that you talked to the Bob-Omb Buddy to open up the cannons.
Next, enter the cannon right by him. Aim for the bottom of the pole
and shot. You should reach the second floor. Now, go down the pole
and reach the star. You should see a star. Get it!
Star 4: Red Coins on the Floating Isle
--------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Here they are!
1-On top of the pushing block with eyes
2-On top of the Blue Thwomp
3-Behind the Piranha Plant
4-Close to the wall (by RC #3)
5-On the rotating bridge
6-On the wall ramp
7-On the floating block
8-On the floating rotating block
Star 5: Fall Onto the Caged Island
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1 AND #2
First, you need to wake up the owl. To wake him up, go climb up the
tree. When you wake up the owl, Hoot, fly with him over Whomp's
Fortress. Now, search for the caged island with a star in it. Once
you do, watch for your shadow touching the floor and then let go. You
should land on the island and get the star.
===========================
A CLOSE LOOK: HOOT, THE OWL
===========================
This bird loves to sleep in the trees, but you need to wake him up for
this objective. I don't think he'll be too happy tonight when he hunts
for food.
Star 6: Blast Away the Wall
---------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: OPEN ALL CANNONS
First, go to the cannon right by the Bob-Omb Buddy. Aim toward the
top-right corner of the closest wall to you. You should get half off.
Do that again and you should find the star. Now, go on top of that
wall. Walk toward the star without falling and you should be home
free! Make sure to not blast very hard or else you will fall off
Whomp's grounds. Ouch!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
C O U R S E 3: J O L L Y R O G E R B A Y
******************************************
Star 1: Plunder in the Sunken Ship
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Hopefully you know how to swim, because welcome to the big bay! Go
down into the water until you find a boat. Go to a window that has an
eel in it. Go close to it and it should look out. Wait until it gets
out of the window, and then enter the window. Now, open up the
treasure boxes using this method:
N
2 3 ^
E< O >W
4 V
S
1
Now, once you open those treasure boxes, the water will come draining
out of the boat since it is now rising from the depths of the ocean.
Now, climb up the slick slides until you reach a ! box. Open it and
you should find the star.
Star 2: Can the Eel Come Out to Play?
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
Yep, you need to be risen before you can do this star. First of all,
you need to go down and see the eel once again. Its name is Unagi. Go
close to it. It will look out and run out of its home like it did with
the window of the boat. Once it is outside, you will see a star at the
end of its tail. Nab it before it goes back inside. Make sure not to

Star 1: Slip, Slidin' Away
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Yahoo! This star is very easy, but not very easy to get to! Go into
the chimney. After you land in the house, you will see a frosty slide.
Start going down it. Use the Control Stick to steer your character.
After you go down the slide, you will see an icy end. DON'T MOVE MARIO
AT ALL! After you reach the end, go out the door and get the star.
Star 2: Li'l Penguin Lost
-------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Tuxie, the lost penguin, needs to find her mom. Luckily, she is by the
chimney. Don't get confused with the decoy one on top of the house
which is at the end of the slide. Now, carry the penguin to her mom.
Then, give it to her to receive a star.
====================================
A CLOSE LOOK: MOTHER PENGUIN & TUXIE
====================================
This gals are very alike - they cry whenever they both are separated!
Of course, that annoying baby penguin only cries whenever a stranger
holds him, but how in the heck does Mother Penguin know Mario's name?
Star 3: Big Penguin Race
------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. The
Penguin Race is about to start. The champion, weighing some-big-
pounds, is Big Penguin. The challenger, weighing less-than-the-
penguin, is Mario. These two will battle it out between who wins the
star. Good luck Mario! The Mushroom Kingdom is now in your hands!"
===========================
A CLOSE LOOK: PENGUIN CHAMP
===========================
This dude is very huge so don't bump into him during the slide down.
You'll be falling off the slide like Martin Short did when he was eight
years old (I heard this on the internet somewhere), but not the same
slide, though.

find the snowman's body. Next, it will chase after you so go down the
slide across the mountain fast. Now, fastly, run to the snowman's
head. When the body is coming, quickly get out of the way. Once you

He needs to find it's head. Can you help? Of course ya can!
Star 6: Wall Kicks Will Work
----------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: CANNONS ARE OPEN
If you don't know how to do wall kicks, practic them now! To get to
the star, go into the cannon that is closest to the bottom of the
moving platform. Then, aim toward the tree. You should grab it.
Continue on until you have to do a long jump. Do so and then you'll
reach a place that you can't continue up on that platform. Do get up
on the platform, do a wall kick. Repeat until you find an icy path to
the star. Walk it VERY, VERY slowly-don't rush! If you do, you will
fall off and have to do this again.

Key 1: Route to Bowser
----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: 8 STARS
Here is your first Bowser Course, and he is in the dark world! First,
just follow the straight route. You will find a Metal Cap box if you
hit the switch. Now, you will find a ! switch. Once you press it,
nothing happens, right? Wrong! To know what it does, just go to Star
1: The 8 Red Coins. Now, follow the path until you reach a circular
platform. You will find three Goombas. Kill them and cross the
bridge. Continue the path until you reach a block that has a yellow
platform going back and forth, so beware! Afterwards, you will find
two teeter-totters. Cross them to get onto a blue block platform.
Next, you will find a ! switch. Stomp on it, climb the stairs, and
enter the pipe. You will have to battle the first Bowser.
============
BOSS: BOWSER
============
To defeat Bowser, just grab onto his tail, swing him around, and make
him land on a mine. Becareful of the fire that he breathes out.
Otherwise, you got the Mushroom Kingdom's Entry Way all cleared!

******************************************
Star 1: Go on a Ghost Hunt
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Are you ready to go on a ghost hunt? All right then. The only
objective to do is to kill every ghost in the house and then once you
go to the entrance, you have to defeat Big Boo.
=============
BOSS: BIG BOO
=============
Oh boy! You think that this guy is totally hard, but he actually is
totally easy! Just use the pound the ground three times on him. It
could help with practice.
Star 2: Ride Big Boo's Merry-Go-Round
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
Go to the room with the collapsing bridge. Let Mario plunge down to
the basement waters. Then, enter the door in the middle. You should
find a merry-go-round. Find the ghost picture that spits out Boos.
Destroy them and eventually, Big Boo will come back out again. Defeat
him the same way you did in Star #1.
Star 3: Secret of the Haunted Books
-----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
Go into the Haunted Library upstairs. Once you enter, run as fast as
you can, not getting hit by the books that fly at you. Then, turn
right, and go all the way up. You will see three books slide out of a
bookshelf. Here is the right order to put them in:
1
3
2
After you do that, the bookshelf will slide to the left and it will
allow you to go through the secret door. Enter the door and get the
star on the balcony.
Star 4: Seek the 8 Red Coins
----------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
1-Behind the Mad Piano
2-3-On top of the two bookshelfs in the next room after the Mad Piano

7-In the room right after the colapsing bridge room
8-Right by the trap door
Star 5: Big Boo's Balcony
-------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
It's easy to get the star, but hard to retreive the star. First, go to
the room with the trap door. Go on the wooden platform. Hit the right
wall by doing a wall kick and try to reach the above platform. Enter
the door. Go up the stairs to the right and enter the door. Again,
you will have to beat Big Boo. Defeat him and you will find that the
star will be at the very top of Big Boo's Haunt. Now, either face the
right or left dormer. Then, do a long jump to it. Try to reach the
top of the dormer and then put it in Mario's view. This is a lot
easier to do than Lakitu's view. Crawl or walk very slowly to the real
top of the house, then do the same thing-crawl or walk until you are at
the big dormer with the star spinning right above it. Slide onto it
and get the star. Good luck getting the star-it can be very difficult,
so practice.
Star 6: Eye to Eye in the Secret Room
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1, VANISH CAP
Once you got the Vanish Cap, come back here and get ready to do the
last objective. First, get on the balcony in the first room that has a
Vanish Cap on it. Then, go back into the trap door room. Quickly get
on the wooden platform and do a wall kick on the left wall. Reach the
platform and enter the door. Go to the ghost picture and go through
it. You will meet your boss, Big Mr. I., which I think is the easiest
boss in the entire game!
================
BOSS: BIG MR. I.
================
Just circle around him like you did with the other normal Mr. I.s.
See! Easy as that!

Star 1: Swimming Beast in the Cavern
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Now, get this straight: In the beginning, there is a left route and a
right route. Every time I start a star strategy, I'll tell you which
way to go first. Got that? All right, now let's get on with it! Go
through the left route. Long jump and enter the door. Go through the
route crap until you reach a place with a lot of water and as a
mountain in the middle of the pool. Swim around in it until you find
the swimming beast, Dorrie. Get on Dorrie's head by using the pound
the ground technique and walking on its long neck reaching its head.
The way you are facing is where Dorrie will be heading. Face toward
the mountain in the middle of the pool. Once you get the closest you
can to it, jump onto it and get the star.
=============================
A CLOSE LOOK: DORRIE THE DINO
=============================
Yep, she's/it's the only dino that can swim in Mario 64. She/It is
very helpful, but can be confusing to control her! And, in case you
are wondering, she will not eat you-the signs just want you to be
afraid of her.
Star 2: Elevate for 8 Red Coins
-------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Go through the right route. Continue until you get to the elevator
room. All of these red coins are in this room.

5-8-On the route of the checkered elevator
Star 3: Metal-Head Mario Can Move!
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: METAL CAP
Go through the left route. Go to the room with Dorrie in it. Get the
Metal Cap in the green box (make sure you hit the Metal Cap Switch that
is located in this course somewhere) and follow the dirt path all the
way to the ! switch (even underwater). Enter the door that was
blocked. Now, jump across the two pits with your long jump to get to
the star.
Star 4: Navigating the Toxic Maze
---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: METAL CAP (OPTIONAL)
The Metal Cap is optional, but is the best to have! Go through the
right route and into the elevator room. Enter the beginning door to
the toxic maze. Fall down the pit and you will enter the maze. Here's
my secret strategy and the easiest. Get the first Metal Cap box, open
it, and get the metal cap. Now, follow the left wall until you find
two pits. Go into the middle of them and then do a backward somersault
to the door above. Enter it and follow the route to the star.
Star 5: A-Maze-Ing Emergency Exit
---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: METAL CAP (OPTIONAL)
Go through the right route and enter the toxic maze. Reach the exit,
but just before it, double jump/backward somersault to the door above.

the floating platform with the star on it. Reach the star.
Star 6: Watch for Rolling Rocks
-------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Go through the left route. Long jump and enter the door. Cross the
rolling rocks hill. Once you reach the end of it. You will find two

Star 1: Boil the Big Bully
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Carefully follow the route to Boil. Becareful not to fall into the
lava and get yer rear smokin'. But, you can still control him even if
he is on fire. Just keep him on land! Once you reach Boil, defeat
him!
=========================
BOSS: BOIL, THE BIG BULLY
=========================
This bully is a real pain in the a-, oh never mind.. Anyway, you can
defeat him two ways: A. Reaching the very tip of the platform, jump
over him when he charges toward you, and when he's about to fall, kick
him in the rear -or- B. Kicking him all the way off the side. It's
your choice, so choose the right one that fits you the most.
Star 2: Bully the Bullies
-------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Oh my god! There are little Bullies swarming around Lethal Lava Land.
Oh well, I guess Nintendo found out a way to tick you off! Defeat the
little Bullies the way you did with Boil. But be prepared! Once you
beat all the little Bullies, you will have to defeat Boil once again.
Star 3: 8-Coin Puzzle With 15 Pieces
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Well, duh! These are easy to get! All the red coins are located on
the 15 piece puzzle of Bowser. Be careful! The pieces move one at a
time!
Star 4: Red-Hot Log Rollin'
---------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Get into the caged part of LLL. Once you enter, you will be able to
roll on the log. Make sure not to fall off it or Mario will suffer a
bad ending! Once you reach the end of the caged part, go across the
arrow-point bridge and get the star. Otherwise, just get the Wing Cap
and fly to the star.
Star 5: Hot-Foot-It Into the Volcano
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Get the shiny shell from Koopa Troopa. Once your on it, go into the
lava and locate the volcano. When it is not errupting, enter it. Once
you do, you will go inside the volcano. Oh boy! It is sure hot in
here! I bet Mario feels like Fox McCloud riding the Arwing on Solar
{=^). Go `round and `round the volcano until you reach the top
and.grab the star. Easy as that!
Star 6: Elevator Tour Inside the Volcano
----------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Wow! No requirements in this whole course! Ain't that sweet? Well
anyway, I'm the tour guide, and here's my speech: "Wecome to Koopa
Volcano Erruptions, Inc. You have come here on your elevator tour of
the volcano where the magma works hard. I will be your tour guide.
Please call me BJ if you have any questions. Now, let's get on the
first elevator. To every direction, you should find magma everywhere,
including the magma firefall. Oh, let's jump to the second elevator.
Look all around the place and see the magma working hard and.oh! Look
at the that! To your right you should see a Power Star! Oooh! Is
Mario abored on this tour? Oh, there you are! Hurry, Mario! Nab that

Star 1: In the Talons of the Big Bird
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Soaring in the sky, it's not a flying fish, a plane, or Superman. It
is Klepto the Condor. He has a star in his talons and it's up to you
to get it. But, it's up to me to tell you how to! Go to one of the
red and brown checkered towers. Once he comes flyin' in, punch/run
into/jump on him and make him give up that star. If you take any
damage and don't make it, go into the Oasis located to the far-left
part of SSL from where you start. Good luck to ya!
================================
A CLOSE LOOK: KLEPTO, THE CONDOR
================================
He is named after two things: The star bird and the hat-nappers. Why
the heck is he named a hat-napper? You'll find out why in the last 5
star objectives!
Star 2: Shining Atop the Pyramid
--------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: WING CAP (OPTIONAL)
The easiest way to get this star is to get the Wing Cap on top of the
shelter, fly to the pyramid, circle it until I find a hole with a star
in it. I nab it. But some people pefer to use the Wing Cap on the
Pyramid or follow the circular route upto the star. Ahhh, I gave you
the strategy. Just wanted to know if you were listening.
Star 3: Inside the Ancient Pyramid
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
This course wouldn't be a course if it didn't have a pyramid, right?
Right. And, a pyramid wouldn't be a pyramid if it didn't have booby
traps, right? Absolutetly! Nintendo has gone overboard with booby
traps and very difficult enemies to deal with during the trek up to the
star! All I can say is that this is one of the hardest stars in the
game if you haven't fully explored the pyramid. But this star would be
one of the easiest if you had the Player's "Cheating" Guide from the
"pros" at Nintendo Power. But of course, your cheating right now
aren't ya? Right! Yeah, I know your type-the FAQ lookers man. Yeah,
I am too, so don't sweat it. Anyway, back to the game: Be careful of
Spindel and Grindel in this level. They can smash you like a pancake
in a cartoon photoraph machine!
Star 4: Stand Tall on the Four Pillars
--------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: WING CAP (OPTIONAL)
"Ye person to stand tall on ye pillars ye'll receive ye Pow'r Star."
(Sorry `bout the crap writing, but "This is the Good Ship Lifestyle" is
booming in my ears!) Ha, just kidding! The easiest way to stand on
the pillars is to fly to them.
Star 5: Free Flying for 8 Red Coins
-----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: WING CAP
You need the Wing Cap for sure on this one! There are 3 red ! boxes
that hold the Wing Cap: One on top of the shelter at the beginning of
the level, in the Tox Box maze, and by the pyramid. Now, just surf
around until you find them. Oh, who am I kiddin'? Here's the list:
1-4-By the four pillars
5-Above the Tox Box maze
6-By the Oasis
7-In the shelter
8-At the extreme southeastern part SSL

Course 3: Jolly Roger Bay. And guess what! The jet stream is
underwater. Now you have to find the Metal Cap. Hmmm, oh there it is!
By the Vanish Cap box. Now I need to open and go through.
Star 5: The Manta Ray's Reward
------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Hey, that big fish is not bad at all! Just go behind it, going through
its five rings it leaves. Just make sure not to run into him while
doing this. This is not as easy as it sounds. In fact, it's pretty
hard to do.
============================
A CLOSE LOOK: MANTA, THE RAY
============================
There's nothing to talk about this fish. It justs swims around. If
you have any info, e-mail me.
Star 6: Collect the Caps
------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: VANISH CAP, METAL CAP (OPTIONAL)
Right away, let's start at the two caps. Jump over the red cage grid
to enter the Vanish Cap's cell. Get it and then run through the next
red cage grid. Get the Metal Cap and go underwater. Walk around until
you find the red grid cage that holds the star. Go into the cage and
get the star quickly before your Vanish Cap runs out. You can also do
this without the Metal Cap, but I pefer to do the Metal Cap. It's
easier for me to do.

*******************************************************
Key 2: Route to Bowser
----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: 30 STARS
Here's the full walkthrough: Turn your camera angle to forward. Wait
for the cage elevator to come to you. Jump onto it. When it starts to
sink in the lava, go on the two tipping platforms until the cage
elevator pops back up. Jump on it once again until it reaches its end.
Then, jump on the blue wavy platform, being careful of the lava that
goes on it. Then, jump off it to the circle platform with those
healing hearts. Run through it if you fell in the lava to replenish
your life meter. Continue on the gray road until you find the cage
elevator with a pole on it. Whenever it is not in the lava, go on it,
and get on the pole because it will sink in the lava. When it is
getting out of the lava, do a handstand and then jump to to the tipping
platform above (it tips to the right and left only). Now, jump to the
green pole and go up to the caged room. Then go to the caged route of
the gray elevator. Once you reach the second floor on it, you'll find
out that the whole floor is in lava. Watch the yellow elevator and the
fire coming out of that thing. When the time is right, jump on the
elevator when the fire doesn't come out of the thing. Then, go up and
down the triangle thing and then climb across the grid. Then continue
on the gray path to the octagon platform. Then, take the stairs that
go up and up while the blue platforms with stairs move. When you see a
shadow, wait until you go up. You should see a ! box/red coin. Then,
once the stairs go up to the gray road, go on the gray road until you
reach the third floor which is also covered in lava. Continue on the
blue wavy platform until you reach a platform that has a healing heart
on it. Run through it if you've been hit or you went into the lava.
Now, I'll leave you with the last 5/6 of the level. It's not that
hard. It's just those cage elevators with a pole on them. It's not
that hard to do. But, if you are really stuck, e-mail me. I don't
think you will. Whew! This took a while.
============
BOSS: BOWSER
============
Beat him the same way you did back in the Dark World, but this time he
is a lot trickier. Now he can disappear and reappear right by you and
he can turn and face you a lot quicker that he could. Be careful of
his stomp that starts in the beginning! Since this platform is held
only by one spike, Bowser can turn this platform in a turning pancake!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
C O U R S E 10: S N O W M A N ` S L A N D
*******************************************
Star 1: Snowman's Big Head
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
First, you need to get to the big snowman. Oh, I forgot to mention-if
you don't know or can't find the star, you will spend uncounted hours
in front of the tube. Now, I'm here to tell you where it is.even if
"Tubthumping" is in my ears: Get past the block elevator/conveyor.
Once your done with that mess, then you will reach a part where there
is an ice bridge with a snowman blowing gusts and your buddy Penguin
Champ is walking along. Wonder why he is here? Well, since you
defeated him, he'll be nice to you and let you across so you won't get
blown away from the snowman. You can do two things with him to get
across: A. Use the penguin as a shield to protect you -or- B. Jump on
his head to get across. Now continue on the circular path until you
reach the star. Another way to get the star is to get into the closest
cannon to the snowman and shoot to the star, but this is very difficult
to perform
===========================
A CLOSE LOOK: PENGUIN CHAMP
===========================
He's back, and now he treats you as royalty-without even talking!
Since he's so fat, he can protect you from the breath gusts of the
snowman. Doesn't he seem just a little bit fatter than before?
Star 2: Chill With the Bully
----------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Just like his "hot" brother, this guy really gets a "chill" into things
(get it?)! You can find this guy's "spot" in Snowman's Land, but he'll
never have a "warm" spot in him (get this one?)! HA! Man, I'm
"smokin'" tonight, so I better get a "chill" pill before bed!
=================
BOSS: CHILL BULLY
=================
To defeat this Puff Daddy, just stand by the side, and once he comes,
double-jump over him and kick him into the deadly water. Or else you
can just go on the ice and duke him out, but it could take a couple
rounds to do (hahahaha)! He's much the same as Boil in Lethal Lava
Land. But the icy platform can make it a bit trickier to do-one hit
from him could mean instant death!
Star 3: In the Deep Freeze
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Go to the "ice cube" of the level. It should be near the entrance.
First, enter the very small maze. Keep on doing backward somersaults
until you find the hole in the roof. Get on top of the "ice cube" and
then go into the hole next to the other one. You should find the star.
Nab it!
Star 4: Whirl From the Freezing Pond
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Go to the big freezing pond by Chill Bully's pond. You should find
those enemies that make you twirl around once you stomp on them. Do
that to one of them and then go across the fence. You should see two !
boxes: One containing a shiny shell and the other containing a star.
Don't forget about the shiny shell location-you need it in the next
star objective which is.
Star 5: Shell Shreddin' for Red Coins
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: SHINY SHELL
All I can say is that you need the shiny shell to collect most of the
red coins. Of course, I use it to get all the coins, since it is
faster and I can jump on it.
1-Between two trees
2-Head northwest and get it on the small hill
3-8-Located closest to the wall side (4 northeast, 2 northwest)
Star 6: Inside the Igloo
------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
The easiest way to get inside the igloo is to use the shiny shell.
Just go to the icy pond that is close to Chill Bully's pond (or is it
in Chill Bully's pond?). Use should find a steep hill with coins going
up it. Follow the coins up the hill and you should find the igloo.
Get into it by using the crawl technique. Now you're in the igloo.
You find out that the star is in ice. You need the Vanish Cap and oh
my God! There is a Vanish Cap box, but how the heck can you get it?
Simple. Double-jump or backward somersault over the wall! Now, go to
the star and get it. Remember! The Bob-Omb Buddy is located in this
place. Oh! I forgot to mention that you can use the cannons to get
over the fence in Star #4.

REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Yes, it is a very long way up to the top, but it is worth since you get
a star. Since this is pretty dang easy to do, I'll give you a few
tatics: Use those enemies that lift you up so you can get on the next
floor. But you have to be in a specific place to do this-ya can't be
anywhere and jump to the next floor. If you're aim is too low, you
fall down and plunge to the floor, losing 2 pieces of your life meter.
Star 3: Secrets in the Shallows & Sky
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
OK, the objective name makes sense. There is a total of 5 things you
need to do to get this star. Here's the list:
1) Push the block into the wall
2) Push the block that is by the high-up ! box
3) Open the ! box that was way-to-high-for-you-to-reach with the block
4) On the top floor and on the chimney-like platform with a ! box-open
5) On the caged elevator with a ! box-open
Star 4: Express Elevator - Hurry Up!
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
This is simply a puzzle to solve-and it was very tricky for me when I
first did this star, but now I can master this on my first try, and
let's see if you can! First, hit the Crystal Tap that is behind those
circular stairs. Next, break the block that is blocking the entrance
to the express elevator (this is most important). Now, go up the
ledges using Heave-Ho for your "stepping" guide. Now go on the top of
the express elevator. Ride the right half of the elevator, which is
the moving part. When it starts moving, go off it. Then, wait for it
to go all the way down. Then do a wall kick/backward somersault to the
wooden platform INSIDE THE SHAFT. Once you are going up, you will be
going to the star!
Star 5: Go to Town for the Red Coins
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
So, this is your first time going downtown? Well, you can go into any
buildings, since this ain't an RPG game. If it was, it would be
awesome. Wouldn't the castle make a sweet star objective? Well, it
isn't.
1-8-In boxes on the roofs of houses
Star 6: Quick Race Through Downtown!
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: VANISH CAP
Oh, I forgot to tell you how to get to downtown: First, get in the
cannon. Then, shoot to the other side of the tall fence, swim down the
long corridor to reach downtown. Easy as that! Now, you may have seen
a ! switch while you walking on the roofs. It makes a block appear in
the caged star. Now, you need the Vanish Cap, which is located at the
southeastern part of downtown, but wait! That is caged! Now whatcha
gonna do? Ah, there's another location of the Vanish Cap. It's in the
south central part of downtown. Now, quickly go into the cage, get on
the block and nab the star.

****************************************************
Star 1: Scale the Mountain
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
If you don't know what scale means, it means to climb to the top of the
mountain! If you know your controlling skills and practiced them with
earlier courses, this will be easy for you, while if you haven't
practiced your controller skills, this could be the worst course in the
game. If you haven't tested your jumping to very small platforms, like
the arrow lifts, do it know. Here are some things to watch for during
the way up: Moles. They infest a part of TTM. If you don't watch out,
they could send you off the mountain and could die or reach a part in a
course and you will lose a lot of pieces of your life meter! Make sure
to watch for the cloud that can blow you sky-high.and your hat! Don't
worry-you'll see that Ukkiki, the monkey will have it (I'll explain him
later on). Be also careful of the bowling balls! They can hurt if you
get run over by them!
Star 2: Mystery of the Monkey Cage
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1
From the summit, you should be able to see the star in the monkey cage.
And the cage belongs to Ukkiki, the monkey! Go to him and grab him.
Once you do, release him and he'll give you the star.
================================
A CLOSE LOOK: UKKIKI, THE MONKEY
================================
Man, this monkey can be a pain to catch, and doesn't help if he has
your cap! If you take the first two letters off his name, doesn't it remind
you of the monkey Kiki from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past? No,
didn't think so.
Star 3: Scary `Shrooms, Red Coins
---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
OK, if you don't know how to stay on a mushroom, here is a tip. Put
the camera view to the farthest away Lakitu view. Now you will see
everything and you should make it on the mushroom. And make sure to
jump from left to right, not forward. It's harder to from forward
view.
1-4-Located at the Mushroom Pit
5-8-Scale more of the mountain (right next to the mushroom pit)
Star 4: Mysterious Mountainside
-------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Uhh, what the heck is this? It is a slide that is, well, in the
mountain. Scale the mountain until you find a hole in the mountain.
Get in it. Now you should find yourself at the beginning of it. Now
go down it! It's kinda fun, and a lot longer than the Princess's
Secret Slide, but the same size as the Course 4 slide. At the end of
this slide, you will get a star.
Star 5: Breathtaking View From Bridge
-------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Scale the mountain until you see ! switch next to a small bridge and a
star in the waterfall. First, hit the ! switch. Now, go on the bridge
and you should see blocks. Go on it and then jump to the star that is
in the waterfall.
Star 6: Blast to the Lonely Mushroom
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
There are two ways to get to this mushroom and the star. Here is the
easiest way to do it. Go on the log and roll that to the end. No long
jump to the mushroom. You should be able to get the star before
landing on the mushroom though. Now here is the hard way: Get into the
cannon and shoot to it.

*************************************************
Star 1: Pluck the Piranha Flower
--------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Go into the first pipe you see. Once you exit out of the pipe, you
will be attacked by five piranha plants. Destroy them all! You should
be in huge island. Hey! This reminds me of Super Mario Bros. 3!
=========================
BOSS: FIVE PIRANHA PLANTS
=========================
If you ask me, these guys are SOOOOO easy! If you are in huge island
(where you should be), punch/kick/trip/slide into them to hurt them.
If you are in tiny island, you should just be able to stomp on them.
Remember that they go underground whenever they spit out a firey burst.
Big or small, that fire can burn you!
Star 2: The Tip Top of Huge Island
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
First, go in the first tunnel you see. You should be in huge island.
Now, just go up and up and up huge island until you reach the top.
Here are some tips along the way: Bowling Balls. They are back, but if
you are in tiny island, they will be very small, but they can still
hurt you by half from normal size amount. Also, use the Shrinker Pipes
if you have to if need to feel big/small to get up. Just make sure at
the end that you are in huge island. Also, only in huge island, you
need to be warned about the Windswept Valley. This is where you'll be
racing against.
Star 3: Rematch With Koopa the Quick
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: STAR #1 AND #2
Man, this guy has really practiced since Course 1, and he is one tough
man to race! First, go to Windswept Valley. Along the way, you should
meet him. He will ask for a remach. Answer yes. Now, the wind in
Windswept Valley doesn't bother him at all, he goes 10x as fast as
before. Oh yeah.you need to be in huge world to race. The cheating
method is to use the long jump until the finish-that's your only weapon
against defeating him!
=============================
A CLOSE LOOK: KOOPA THE QUICK
=============================
Well, he's back, but he has a new pair of running shoes, yet he has
been training hard. The bowling balls and the wind does not stop him,
so your only weapon is using the long jump from start to finish. Good
luck! Remember that if you don't make it, enter a shinker pipe to get
to tiny island, and then re-enter the pipe to be in huge island, and
Koopa the Quick awaits you for yet another rematch!
Star 4: Five Itty Bitty Secrets
-------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Well, you have to be in tiny island to do this. Here is the list of
all the five itty bitty secrets:
1) In the water at the top of the island
2) Where the bowling balls shoot out
3) Cross the very skinny stick of wood to an opening
4) An entrance at the lowest point of the island
5) On the tip of the island
Star 5: Wiggler's Red Coins
---------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Remember in Star #4 that I told you to cross the very skinny stick of
wood to an opening? Well, get to huge island and try to find that very
skinny stick which now is a bridge to you! Go into the opening and
you'll be inside Wiggler's home. You'll find all the coins there.
C'mon! They're all in one room, so I don't want to make this
Walkthrough any bigger by wasting my time! They're all in front of
your eyes, but if you are blind, try to e-mail me and try to type the
question if you can click the "send" button with your mouse!
Star 6: Make Wiggler Squirm
---------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Wiggler makes his home in Tiny-Huge Island, but he does make his top
part of his home very secure. But to enter it, go to tiny island. Go
to the summit and enter the middle of the water and Pound the Ground.
Now, be in huge island and make your way up to the summit once again.
You will now be small enough to enter the entrance. Once you enter it,
you'll find Wiggler, waddling around. Now, make him squirm out the
star!
=============
BOSS: WIGGLER
=============
Wiggler, your happy-go, flower-headed friend has no gone wacky for the
star. He will let no one have his star-unless you "wiggle" it out of
him! Besides, he's already mad at you for flooding his house, so he
goes fast-paced each time you stomp on him, which makes it tougher to
beat him. But, you'll eventually defeat him and he'll give up the
star.

********************************************
Star 1: Roll Into the Cage
--------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
This star can be the easiest star in this course, or the toughest ever.
Your choice wether to stop or run the clock. Here's the "time" to
enter this course for the speed:
===============================
Minute hand on 12 - Stops clock
Minute hand on 9 - Fast
Minute hand on 6 - Medium
Minute hand on 3 - Slow
===============================
Now, I recommend that you put it to stop, just to make it easier. Now,
just climb up the clock until you find a star in a cage. Then, "roll"
into the cage to get the star. Sorry I couldn't be anymore help, but
It's pretty obvious on how to get in the cage.
Star 2: The Pit and the Pendulums
---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
To cheat on this star, stop the clock. Go all the way up until you see
two pendulums with a star beyond them. Well, of course, cross the
pendulums safely. If they are not moving, well, you got the star
already (only if you are dumb enough to mis-jump)! Remember that the
clock has no floor in it so if a pendulum knocks you off your platform,
then it's good-bye for you!
Star 3: Get a Hand
------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Don't stop the clock for this one! Set it on medium fastness. After
you go up the 3-box elevator, wait on the floor until you see hand
moving. Jump on the hand until you see a small platform with a star on
it. Get the star!
Star 4: Stomp on the Thwomp
---------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Set the motion to slow. Now, go up the clock-all the way up! That's
right! Every nook and crany you have to get on to get to the top.
Hey, at least you're "movin' on up"! Get it? HAHAHA! Anyway, once
you get to the top, you will have to jump on Thwomp's head. Like an
elevator, wait until he goes all the up and then go on the platform
that has a star on it.
====================
A CLOSE LOOK: THWOMP
====================
From Course 2, you had to ride him like an elevator to get a red coin,
but now you have to ride him like an elevator to get a star!
Star 5: Timed Jumps on Moving Bars
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
You can do this in slow speed or no speed at all. No speed at all
takes a great effort to do, since you need to do some wall kicks that
are hard! I recommend you do this on slow speed. I don't know how to
explain this star objective to you.I just can't! If you do FAQs, you
probably have one of those days where you can't explain something on an
FAQ/Walkthrough. I'm having one of those days right now on this
objective. Oh well, just e-mail sometime.or wait until my next
version. I might explain the objective.
Star 6: Stop Time for Red Coins
-------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
For God sakes, stop the clock for this one! If you can do this on any
speed (except slow), I'll be pretty amazed! All the red coins are
located on those small rotating platforms. But still, even if they
aren't moving, it can be hard if you don't know which camera angle to
use. I suggest the Lakitu view going the farthest distance.
=======================================================================
C O U R S E 15: R A I N B O W R I D E
***************************************
Star 1: Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow
------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Oh, man! It's finally that last course for me to explaim. Remind me
to never do a long walkthrough like this again. It's almost over.well,
anyway, you will going on a magic carpet ride tonight! Just ride the
magic carpet to the boat in the sky. The star should be on the boat.
Star 2: The Big House in the Sky
--------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Wow! Another magic carpet ride! Now, you may think that the big house
is a jail, but it's not! Now, once you enter the big house, DO NOT
LEAVE THE CARPET! Keep patient and wait for a bit. You will be going
in the house again by using the window and you will be going on the
roof. The star will be on the roof. Nab it!
Star 3: Coins Amassed in a Maze
-------------------------------
No! Don't even think about it, mister! I am absolutely, positively
not going to tell you where every Red Coin is! They are all in a maze!
I'll tell you where the maze is! Once you ride your stupid magic
carpet, you will see the stupid maze with all your stupid Red Coins in
it! Now, you can figure it out! Use your brain! If you e-mail me a
question about this, I will specificly not answer since this is for
some people a no-brainer! Forget it! Period!
Star 4: Swingin' in the Breeze
------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Here is a shorcut to get to it: From the start, keep on turning around
until you see a pole. Now long jump to the pole. You should be able
to grab it. Now, slide down it. Now, follow the route until you can
take two routes-go up the slanted wall or continue with the regular
route. To get this star, you need to go up the small slanted wall and
then continue with that route (very, very short) until you find the
star.
Star 5: Tricky Triangles!
-------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
From the two-route break (remember from the last star objective),
choose to continue the route. This route is very difficult, but is
possible to complete. Now, the ! switch is to be used for.oh, you'll
find out once you push it.
Star 6: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
----------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS: NONE
Considered the last star.and the hardest. First, go to the cannon on
the boat. Aim toward the cirular rainbow and-wait! There's a pole
there! Try to aim exactly in the middle of the rainbow. If you do
EXACTLY in the middle, you are home-free and you have done that last
star objective in a course in the whole game. Congratulations.

Fi Ni: Route to Bowser
----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: 50 STARS
Fi ni stands for the end, incase you didn't know. First, just jump
platform to platform until you reach a sideways W-shaped see-saw-oh,
who am I kidding! If you need help, e-mail me! This is too long to
do. But trust me-I'll do the whole thing in the next version!
==================
FINALE BOSS BOWSER
==================
This Bowser is one real meanie. He now spits out icy fire that is included
with smann firey breaths. It now takes three hits of a bomb to kill him, and
once he stomps on the ground, he'll make two white quakes that will shake you
if you get hit by them. Hit him 3 times and you have one the game-no matter
if you collected 120 stars or not. But Bowser says different stuff after you
collect 120 stars. But be warned: After you hit him in a bomb, he'll
take of the rest of the pieces (if he knocked any down after you
possibly threw him off the edge) out of the platform shaping it like a
star. SwEeT!

100 Coin Collecting
===================
Lots of people say, "Hey! There are only 105 stars in the game!"
Well, you are wrong! You need to collect 100 coins in every course,
but I won't tell you where every coin in the game is. I will tell you
where the Blue-Coin blocks are so I can give you a boost. But, if you
want to know where every coin is, go to www.nintendo.com and go to N64
Game List. Choose Super Mario 64 and then go to all the crap until you
find "Collect 100 Coins." Now, here they are!
Course 1: Bob-Omb Battlefield
Well, there is no Blue-Coin Block, but all you need to is go to the
floating isle, get the Wing Cap, and fly around the coin circles to get
a lot of coins.
Course 2: Whomp's Fortress
The Blue-Coin Block is located by the Bob-Omb Buddy. Just go left all
the way, turn right and go forward all the way. Also make sure that
you defeat all the sleeping Piranha Plants-you will get a blue coin
from each of them.
Course 3: Jolly Roger Bay
You will find the Blue-Coin Block in the Ocean Cave. If you want more
coins than that, go to the ! switch that is by the boat and the three
floating platforms with a lot of coins on them. Hit the switch to make
roads to each of them.
Course 4: Cool, Cool Mountain
You will find the Blue-Coin Block on the last turn of the slide
circling the mountain (not the big slide). At the last turn, turn
right. You should find the Blue-Coin Block, but you only get two blue
coins out of it. Make sure to go down the big slide-that's the place
to get a lot of coins!
Course 5: Big Boo's Haunt
The Blue-Coin Block is located on the top floor of the house. Remember
that you can defeat the Boos and the Mr. Is. Overall, this is not a
difficult place to collect 100 coins.
Course 6: Hazy Maze Cavern
In the hazy maze, try to find the Blue-Coin Block. Once you do, push
it and then follow them around the maze. There are a lot of them, so
make sure you just tried a Metal Cap on.
Course 7: Lethal Lava Land
There is no Blue-Coin Block. All you have to do is surf the lava!
There is a lot coins-you just don't know it!
Course 8: Shifting Sand Land
The Blue-Coin Block is located in the pyramid. Once you hit it, there
will be 5 blue coins in a line. Get them and-wow! You just got 25
coins!
Course 9: Dire, Dire Rocks
There is no Blue-Coin Block, and you will need to get every coin in the
course to get the star. Good luck to ya! Make sure not to forget all
those coins all around the whirlpool, the ledges of the submarine pen,
and the bottom of the sea (under the sub).
Course 10: Snowman's Land
There is no Blue-Coin Block (that I know of), but go into the igloo and
get the Vanish Cap. Now go into the ice cube that has the treasure!
Course 11: Wet-Dry World
There is a Blue-Coin Block, and boy does it hold a lot of blue coins!
Collect them all!
Course 12: Tall, Tall Mountain
Go into the slide and run through it fast. You should see a lot of
blue coins along the way.
Course 13: Tiny-Huge Island
In huge island, Goombas are worth a blue coin! Don't forget the Koopa
Troopa.
Course 14: Tick Tock Clock
Yep, there is a Blue-Coin Block, and it holds up to 5 coins!!
Course 15: Rainbow Ride
There is a Blue-Coin Block, and it is located by the maze. The Blue
Coins are "atop the maze."
Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
Amazingly, I only have one so far. Well, I do have a couple more, so I'll
put them in.
Q. So, how do you solve the puzzle in "Puzzle Pyramid" in Course 8?
A. OK, OK: FIRST, GO INTO THE PYRAMID. GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, WELL, GO
ALL THE WAY TO THE PLATFORM NEXT TO THE STAR. YOU SHOULD SEE A CUT IN THE
BRIDGE. DROP A LITTLE AND YOU WILL COLLECT THE FIRST SPECIAL COIN (1/5).
NOW, LOOK BELOW. YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER SMALL PLATFORM WITH ANOTHER SPECIAL
COIN. AIM RIGHT AND JUMP TO COLLECT IT (2/5). NOW, AIM AND JUMP WITH THE
NEXT PLATFORM (3/5). JUMP NOW ONTO THE SAND SLIDE AND COLLECT THE LAST TWO
COINS (5/5). COLLECT THE STAR AT THE END! REMEMBER, YOU CAN SINK INTO THE
SAND SLIDE, SO BEWARE!
Q. hyi wuz wenderin' wer tham casile c-crit starrs rthay aint in yer wakthrw
A. THEY WERE SO-CALLED "HIDDEN" IN MY WALKTHROUGH IN MY LAST VERSION, BUT NOW
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SECTION CALLED "BONUS COURSES / SECRET STARS"
Q. Well, where can I collect the 8 red coins for Bowser at the Fire Sea?
A. WELL, GO CHECK OUT THE NEW SECTION, "BONUS COURSES / SECRET STARS".
Q. In Course 5, it said that you can get the Ghoul Medal if you escape.
Well, how can you escape?
A. ALRIGHT, TIME TO CLEAR UP THIS NONSENSE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A
GHOUL MEDAL. NINTENDO PROBABLY JUST ADDED IT IN TO TAKE YOUR MIND AWAY AND
WASTE A WEEKEND TRYING TO FIND IT.
Now, I DO get questions like the second FAQ above. Do you see what happens
when you play too much video games ;)
Cheats and Hints
================
Since I did the walkthrough, you guys help me on this one! Send me a tip, a

E-Mail Note
===========
Even though I've dropped the subject codes DOESN'T MEAN that you just put
whatever subject name you want. You need to put the name of the game on the
subject line, be it a question, comment, whatever!
Now, if you want to e-mail me asking for permission on this game, please put
your URL address so I can see your site.
I do have a couple more e-mail addresses, but please only e-mail me at the
one at the top. Thanx!!

The section that I have trouble on.
Jeff "CJayC" Veasey – Accepting my FAQ on his site.
Al Alamoo – For putting my FAQs on his site.
Procyon Lotor – To tell you the truth, he inspired me on writing an FAQ from
reading his Super Mario RPG FAQ. He is also one great FAQ writer and I do
believe with him that writing FAQs are fun and not for competition.
marshmallow – One of the greatest FAQ writers ever, if not the best!
Nintendo – Making one of the greatest light adventure games.
E-Mailers – For making me busy during the boring day at noon.
