to explore for yourself, please don't read past your location in the game. I'm
also assuming you know how to get the 100 coin stars. I also have put (*1-120)
for suggested order on getting the stars.

- Bomb-omb Battlefield: Go in the door to the left side that has a star on it.
Jump into the painting.

Star 1: Go up the ramp, then walk to the huge chain-chomp. Go across the
bridge, and go forward, turn right, and go through the caged-in area. Run
through the balls, then go up the hill. Go up to the Bomb-omb King, then run
around him and grab him, then throw him to the ground. Do this three times.
Grab the star when he explodes. (*1)
Star 2: Talk to the second Bomb-omb to set-up the cannon. Go to the turtle. Go
up the ramp, through the caged area, through the balls, up the hill until you
see a hole in the wall, get near the back of the hole, it should teleport you
near the finish, and he won't count you for cheating! Climb onto the flag,
then wait until Koopa the Quick comes. Get the star when he gives it to you.
(*2)
Star 3: Go up the ramp, Go to the cannon in the field, then look at the
island, and aim as high as you can. Shoot out, then hit the yellow box and

Star 4: Go to the conveyer belt and grab the red coin as you get off. Then run
right to the top of the large rock and grab the next red coin. Then get into
the cannon, look at the island, and aim all the way up. Grab the red coin on
top of the tree, then jump back down. Go to the chain chomp, and right as he
finishes his lunge, quickly run toward, jump and grab the fourth red coin. Go
across the bridge and go left into the meadow. Grab the two red coins. Go to
the big field and go down the path just left of the caged area. Detonate the
Bomb-omb, then grab the 1-up and seventh red coin, then hit the switch. Climb
the ramp, then go in the middle of the flower patch. It should teleport you
back to the field. Climb up the mountain until you see a grassy path going
down, slide down and grab the last red coin. Then head back to the meadow and
grab the star. (*4)

NOTE: Get both stars from Princess' Secret Slide, and then get 4 stars from
Whomp's Fortress before star 5, because you need to get 10 Stars before you
can access the wing cap bonus level.

Star 5: (This would be a good time to get the 100 coin star(*12) Now that you
have the wing cap, shoot up to the island in the sky, grab the wing cap, and
quickly get into the cannon, you must grab all 5 coins in the center of the
rings, then land in the meadow for the star. (*13)

then across the falling gray blocks and the ramp. Go onto the rotating

look at the middle pillar, then aim so the middle of the cross-hairs is right

onto the ramp and go up. Destroy the flower, then cross over the gray blocks
and ramp, then grab the star to the left. (*17)

-Wing Cap Bonus Level: Get 10 stars, then when it's shining, look up into the

race flag was. Talk to the Bomb-omb buddy, then go on top of the cannon to
get 1, then go by the now small entrance to get 2, then go in front of the
hole on the super-narrow walkway to get 3, then go by the little hole near the
pipe to get 4, then for 5, go to the top of the mountain. Then hit the switch,
and go over and grab the star. (*93)

the middle. Jump back into the pipe, and jump into the hole. Jump on his head

in will affect the speed of the clock.
Star 1: Go up until you get to the cage, jump inside and grab the star. (*106)
Star 2: Go up until you climb up the pole near an electric ball, then go left,
jump onto the other side, then carefully make your way to the star. (*107)

star. (*108)

Star 6: (This would be a good time to get the 100 coin star.) (*117) Keep
riding on the carpets until you get to an intersection. Take the left carpet,
and stay on until you get onto the ship, then hop into the cannon, and aim so
the middle of the cross-hairs is in the middle of the rainbow, right above the
pole. You should fly into the pole, jump down, break the box, and grab the
star. (*119)

-Bowser in the Sky: Go up the stairs, up another staircase, then jump down the
hole. To get the star, push the box back to the edge, and jump of and grab the
first red coin. The second coin is right after the platform with the 1-up box
and the electric ball. The third is on a small platform off one side. The
fourth red coin is by a bunch of coins after a big ramp and a fire machine.
The fifth red coin is on a platform right after the heart and moving platform.
The sixth red coin is behind the needle that the fire sphere is on. The
seventh is on a pole, and the very last red coin is under the bridge right
before the pipe to Bowser. Grab it, and then grab the very last star in the
game! (*120!) Then jump down the pipe. To beat Bowser, when he shoots fire
into the air, and when he stomps the ground, jump over the sonic beams, and
when he charges you, jump over him, then grab his tail and throw him into the
mines twice. Then he has a fit, and breaks off the edges to make a star. Throw
him into a mine again, then grab the giant star, and watch the ending.

Congratulations! You have beaten Super Mario 64, and found all the stars!

4. SECRETS
-During the ending, use the analog stick on controller 2 to change the camera
angle.
-If you get all 120 stars, when you beat Bowser he says something different.
-When you get all 120 stars, go race the penguin again, except this time he
will be extremely fat and harder to beat!
-If you see a wooden post, run about 3 or 4 complete circles around it, and 5
coins will pop out.
-Sometimes, you see a small group of butterflies. If you touch the right one,
a 1-up will appear, if you touch the wrong one, a bomb will appear, tracking
you down.
-In Wet, Dry World, you can change the height of the water when you start. If
you jump in low, there will be little water, if you jump into the middle, it
will be halfway, and if you jump into the top, it will be higher than you
could usually make it with the switches!
-In Tiny, Huge Island, if you pound the big goombas, they give you a blue
coin.
-If you own the Japanese version, when you get to a Bowser level, collect
1,000 coins, then you should have an `M' next to your lives. Then, every time
you die, you gain a life, and every time you get a 1-up, you lose one.
-Go into Shifting Sand Land or Snowman's Land, and lose you hat and make sure
it's on the ground, then go to a warp, and warp back and forth at least twice.
Then go back and pick up the hat. Mario will put it on, but more hats will
still be there, (Depending on how many times you warped back and forth.) then
pick up a hat now, and he will hold onto it, and when you punch it looks like
he is whacking the enemies with the hat!
-To get a refill of your life, jump into water and surface again.
-Once you get 120 stars, go into the cannon that has been closed for the
entire game, blast to the roof, and there will be 3 1-ups, a wing cap box for
enjoyment, and Yoshi! When you talk to Yoshi, he will give you 100 lives!

5. WARPS
To use a warp, stand still in them. To re-use them, just jump. Warp 1a will
take you to warp 1b, 1b will take you to 1a, etc.

-Bomb-omb Battlefield:
1a: Go up the ramp, then go into the center of the flower bed.
1b: Cross the bridge that tilts, then keep to the left, and go into the center
of the flower bed near the red box.

2a/2b: Go up the mountain, there will be two holes in the side of the
mountain. Go inside them, and you will warp to the other hole.
