This is NOT a pro quality FAQ, but as long as you explore the level
somewhat, you should find this very
useful. I put it together rather quickly, but it's all correct info. If you
do find something that is wrong,
please let me know at
[email protected]
Some of the stuff is a little tough to explain, but I did my best to
explain it as clearly as I could,
but, also as briefly. Thanks, & I hope this helps you out!
Red coins = 2 yellow coins & the big blue coins = 5 yellow coins
Red "!" blocks
When you get 10 stars, there will be a bright light shining down in the main
hall of the castle. Look up at it
to go into a bonus stage. You can also get a star from getting the 8 red
coins here.
Green "!" blocks
To get this, go into the lower part of the castle & go in course 6 (where
you jump into a silvery liqid). Go
where Nessie is, get on him, use him to get to the door that has red bars
before it, but NOT blocking it
(that's a different door). Go through there, & jump into the other silvery
liquid. You can also get a star by
getting all 8 red coins here.
Blue "!" blocks
You must first drain the moat, by going into the lower part of the castle, &
go through the door the plain
wooden door. When you come to the water with 2 cement blocks sticking out,
do a butt stomp on 1 of them (I
forgot if its right or left) & the water will drain. Now go outside & jump
in the hole in themoat where the
water use to be. You can also get a star by getting all 8 red coins here.
Princess Pic Bonus
In the main hall of the castle, the upstairs door on the right is a room
that has 3 pics of the princess in
there. Jump through the one on the right for a bonus stage with a star in
it.
Sea Bonus Level
In the hall where the pic of the Sea level is, near the top of the ceiling
is on each side is a black square
hole. Jump in them. The one on the left is free guy, & the one on the right
is a bonus stage where you must
get all 8 red coins to get the star.
After 20 Stars
There will be a bunny down in the lower part of the castle, where stages 6-8
are. Catch him for a star.
Toad will appear in the hall where you go into stage 6 (the silvery liquid).
Talk to him for a star.
A big ghost will appear in the hall to the back door of the castle. Go
outside, & the ghost near the far back
left will have a wierd looking thing in the middle of him. Do a butt stomp
on him, & you can now go into
course 5, the ghost house stage.
Also...
After you have 50 stars, the bunny is in the hall again. Catch him again for
another star.
In the 2nd part of the castle (where stages 10-13 are), there are 2 Toads in
there. 1 of the 2 will you give a
star if you talk to him.
In the 3rd part of the castle (where stages 14 & 15 are), talk to Toad &
he'll give you a star.
In the top hall (stages 14 & 15), there is bright lights shining out near
the top on each side of the ceiling.
The one on the left is a bonus stage where you can get a star by getting all
8 red coins, the right is course
15.
If you jump into the grandfather clock when the time is 3, 6, 9, or 12, ALL
the insides will be stopped. Very
helpful, but cant get all the stars this way.
