Super Mario 64 DS - Strategy Guide (Page 09)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Super Mario 64 DS - Strategy Guide (Page 09).
Face the direction that the carpet that you are on is going. When it reaches the end of the rainbow, jump onto the carpet that is to the right. Ride the carpet as it goes along the rainbow. It will come to a large platform that the carpet will go through. When you reach the platform, jump over it, and then jump back onto the carpet. Ride the carpet around the rainbow for a while. Soon the rainbow will take the carpet inside a large house. As soon as you are in the house, get off of the carpet. There is a ? box in the house. Break open the ? box, and take the power flower that is inside it. Since you are Mario, you will start to float. Quickly float to the middle of the house, and then float straight up. There is a hole in the middle of the roof, so float up through the hole. When you are through the hole, float over one of the flat parts of the roof, and land. The power star is on the roof, all you need to do is to run over and take it. ------------------------------- Star 3: Coins Amassed in a Maze ------------------------------- Recommended Character: Luigi As soon as you start the level, turn around. There will be a pole there, a good distance from the platform that you are on. Run, and do a long jump over to the pole. When you reach the pole, climb all the way up to the top of it. After that, jump onto the platform that is there. Run across the platform until you reach the group of spinning, circular platforms. Jump onto the first spinning platform. As you go across the platform, go to the left. Jump to the platform that is to the left of the one you are on. Run across that platform, and on one side of it you will find a solid platform. Jump onto the solid platform. There will be another narrow platform next to the solid platform. Jump onto that platform, and then jump down from it. You will land on a large platform. There is a large structure on one side of the large platform. There are several smaller platforms inside the large structure. Do a backward somersault in order to get onto the lower of these smaller platforms. You have now entered the maze. Go about the maze, searching for eight red coins. All eight red coins are in the maze. When you have them all, jump onto the main platform that holds the structure. The power star will be on it. Have fun! ------------------------------ Star 4: Swingin' in the Breeze ------------------------------ Recommended Character: Luigi As soon as you start the level, turn around. There will be a pole there, a good distance from the platform that you are on. Run, and do a long jump over to the pole. Slide down the pole, onto the platform that it is on. The platform that you will be on is the highest in a chain of platforms. Run down the rest of the platforms that are there, going until you reach the large, tilting platform. On one end of the tilting platform there is another platform; on the other end there is empty air. Run over to the side that is closest to empty air, and stand on it for a few seconds. Then, run across the tilting platform and jump onto the platform that is next to it. Run across that platform, and you will come to another platform. The other platform swings back and forth. Wait until the swinging platform is close to you, and then jump on it. Ride the swinging platform as it swing to the other side. Then, jump onto the platform that it swings next to. Walk across that platform. At the end of that platform, there will be a small gap. Three donut platforms are after the small gap. Jump onto the donut platforms, and then run across them. When you reach the end of the donut platforms, jump onto the tilting platform that is after them. Wait on the tilting platform for a second, and then run to the other side of it. It is right next to another set of donut platforms. Jump onto the first donut platform. As soon as you land on it, do a backward somersault up to the next set of donut platforms. Turn around when you land on the set of higher donut platforms, and run to the end of them. There will be a small gap, and after the gap there is a solid platform. A fire emitter shoots fire at the gap. Wait until it stops shooting fire, and then jump across the gap (a long jump is best). When you land on the solid platform, go to the other end of it. Jump across the gap that is there, onto the next set of donut platforms. Run across the donut platforms, and jump to the moving platform that is after them (do a regular jump or a long jump depending on how far away the moving platform is. Ride the moving platform to the platform with a Goomba on it, and then jump onto that platform. When you are there, there will be two routes for you to go. You can either continue across the platform, or you can jump up the slope that is next to the platform. For this power star, you need to jump up the slope. There are three flat blocks sticking out of the slope, jump up them in order to get up the slope. As soon as you get onto the platform at the top of the slope, turn left and go to the end of the platform. It is next to a platform that swings back and forth. Wait until the swinging platform is next to the platform that you are on, and then jump onto it. Ride the swinging platform across the sky. When it comes to another platform, jump onto that platform. As soon as you reach the platform after the swinging platform, run across it. You will find the power star that will allow you to beat this level. ------------------------- Star 5: Tricky Triangles! ------------------------- Recommended Character: Yoshi As soon as you start the level, turn around. There will be a pole there, a good distance from the platform that you are on. Run, and do a long jump over to the pole. Slide down the pole, onto the platform that it is on. The platform that you will be on is the highest in a chain of platforms. Run down the rest of the platforms that are there, going until you reach the large, tilting platform. On one end of the tilting platform there is another platform; on the other end there is empty air. Run over to the side that is closest to empty air, and stand on it for a few seconds. Then, run across the tilting platform and jump onto the platform that is next to it. Run across that platform, and you will come to another platform. The other platform swings back and forth. Wait until the swinging platform is close to you, and then jump on it. Ride the swinging platform as it swing to the other side. Then, jump onto the platform that it swings next to. Walk across that platform. At the end of that platform, there will be a small gap. Three donut platforms are after the small gap. Jump onto the donut platforms, and then run across them. When you reach the end of the donut platforms, jump onto the tilting platform that is after them. Wait on the tilting platform for a second, and then run to the other side of it. It is right next to another set of donut platforms. Jump onto the first donut platform. As soon as you land on it, do a backward somersault up to the next set of donut platforms. Turn around when you land on the set of higher donut platforms, and run to the end of them. There will be a small gap, and after the gap there is a solid platform. A fire emitter shoots fire at the gap. Wait until it stops shooting fire, and then jump across the gap (a long jump is best). When you land on the solid platform, go to the other end of it. Jump across the gap that is there, onto the next set of donut platforms. Run across the donut platforms, and jump to the moving platform that is after them (do a regular jump or a long jump depending on how far away the moving platform is. Ride the moving platform to the platform with a Goomba on it, and then jump onto that platform. When you are there, there will be two routes for you to go. You can either continue across the platform, or you can jump up the slope that is next to the platform. For this power star, you need to continue across the platform. When you reach the end of the platform, jump to the donut platforms that are after it. Run across those donut platforms, and then run up the slope that is after them. Run over the slope, onto the next set of donut platforms. Since you will probably start sliding when you go down the slope, you need to slow yourself down so that you do not slide off of the level. When you are almost to the bottom of the slope, quickly jump and pound the ground to keep from sliding. After that, run across that set of donut platforms, and jump onto the next group of donut platforms. At the end of that group of donut platforms, there is a gap followed by a solid platform. The only problem is, there is a fire emitter shooting fire at the gap. Wait until the fire emitter stops shooting fire, and then jump across the gap. At the end of the solid platform, there is a ! switch followed by several triangles. When you step on the switch, all of the triangles will turn upside-down. They will make platforms that you can jump on. Jump across the triangles. You only have a limited amount of time, so make sure that you go quickly. At the end of the triangles there is a solid platform with a star on it. Take the star to finish the level. ---------------------------------- Star 6: Somewhere over the Rainbow ---------------------------------- Recommended Character: Mario In order to open up the cannon for this level, you need to start out as Mario. As soon as you start the level, turn around. There will be a pole there, a good distance from the platform that you are on. Run, and do a long jump over to the pole. When you reach the pole, climb all the way up to the top of it. After that, jump onto the platform that is there. Run across the platform until you reach the group of spinning, circular platforms. Jump onto the first spinning platform. As you go across the platform, go to the left. Jump to the platform that is to the left of the one you are on. Run across that platform, and on one side of it you will find a solid platform. Jump onto the solid platform. There will be another narrow platform next to the solid platform. Jump onto that platform, and then jump down from it. You will land on a large platform. There is a large structure on one side of the large platform. Run to the other side of the platform, where the blue coin switch is. Since this is not the one hundred coin star, you do not need to press the blue coin switch yet. Just after the blue coin switch, you will find two tall walls. The walls go high up. Since you are Mario, there is an easy way to get to the top of these walls. In order to get to the top of the walls, simply do wall kicks up them. When you are at the top, run across the platform that is there. Soon you will see a Bob-omb Buddy. Talk to him and he will open the cannon. After you have talked to him, run the rest of the way across the platform. There is a yellow platform at the end of it. Step on the yellow platform, and it will take you down. When it is as low as it will go, do a long jump over to the nearest spinning platform. When you land on it, go to the left and jump to the spinning platform that is there. Then, run across that spinning platform and jump onto the solid platform that is at the end of it. There is a floating carpet at the end of the solid platform Go to the end of the platform, and jump onto the floating carpet. The carpet will begin to move along the rainbow path that is in front of it. Ride the floating carpet as it goes along the rainbow. Occasionally it will go under platforms. This is no reason for concern; all you have to do is jump over the platforms, and back onto the carpet when it comes out from under the platform. Eventually, the floating carpet will reach the end of the rainbow. At the end of the rainbow, there will be two other carpets that you can jump onto. Since they are on opposite sides of each other, listen carefully so that you jump onto the correct carpet. Face the direction that the carpet that you are on is going. When it reaches the end of the rainbow, jump onto the carpet that is to the left. You will then be on the correct carpet. Ride that carpet as it goes along. Soon it will start circling around a circular platform with two smaller platforms sticking out of it. Continue to ride the carpet, but make sure that you jump over the platforms sticking out of the main platform. If you do not jump over them, they will knock you off of the carpet. Ride the carpet as it circles the circular platform several times. After a while, it will stop going around the circular platform and will once again go straight. When it goes under more platforms, jump over that platforms and back onto the carpet. Soon it will come to a set of donut platforms (that's just what they are called; they don't look like donuts). The donut platforms fall when you step on them. Jump onto the donut platforms, and then do a continuous jump up to the platform above the donut platforms. Once you are on that solid platform, you will be even with the Rainbow Cruiser. There is a bridge, leading from the platform to the cruiser. Go across the bridge, onto the cruiser. As soon as you step on the cruiser, strong winds will blow you to the back of the cruiser. Go to the very back of the cruiser, and you will find the cannon. Jump into the cannon. Inside the cannon, start by looking at the platform in the distance. There is a pole sticking out of it. Move the cannon so that the middle of the top and bottom crosshairs are lined up with the pole. Then, move the cannon up so that the crosshair is inside the circular rainbow. Aim inside the rainbow, but make sure that your crosshair is in the top half of the rainbow. When you have done all that, shoot out of the cannon. You will fly through the air, and you will grab onto the pole. Slide down the pole, onto the platform. There is a ! box on the platform. As you go to the ! box, make sure that you are not grabbed by the purple enemy that is on the platform. Break open the ! box, and you will find the power star inside of it. -------------------------------- Star 7: Switch Star of the Manor -------------------------------- Recommended Character: Mario This level requires the ability to float. For this reason, you should start the level out as Mario. As soon as you start the level, turn around. There will be a pole there, a good distance from the platform that you are on. Run, and do a long jump over to the pole. When you reach the pole, climb all the way up to the top of it. After that, jump onto the platform that is there. Run across the platform until you reach the group of spinning, circular platforms. Jump onto the first spinning platform, and run straight across it. At the end of the first spinning platform, do a long jump over to the over straight across from it. Run across that spinning platform, and jump onto the solid platform that is after it. There is a floating carpet at the end of the solid platform Go to the end of the platform, and jump onto the floating carpet. The carpet will begin to move along the rainbow path that is in front of it. Ride the floating carpet as it goes along the rainbow. Occasionally it will go under platforms. This is no reason for concern; all you have to do is jump over the platforms, and back onto the carpet when it comes out from under the platform. Eventually, the floating carpet will reach the end of the rainbow. At the end of the rainbow, there will be two other carpets that you can jump onto. Since they are on opposite sides of each other, listen carefully so that you jump onto the correct carpet. Face the direction that the carpet that you are on is going. When it reaches the end of the rainbow, jump onto the carpet that is to the right. Ride the carpet as it goes along the rainbow. It will come to a large platform that the carpet will go through. When you reach the platform, jump over it, and then jump back onto the carpet. Ride the carpet around the rainbow for a while. Soon the rainbow will take the carpet inside a large house. As soon as you are in the house, get off of the carpet. On one side of the house, there is a set of stairs leading outside. Go up the stairs, and head outside. You will find yourself on a small platform sticking out of the house. A platform made of wooden planks is right next to it, a short ways down. Walk off the platform sticking out of the house, and onto the wooden plank platform. Then, run across all of the wooden planks until you reach the star switch. As soon as you reach it, step on the star switch. Then, run all the way back into the house. There is a ? box in the house. Break open the ? box, and take the power flower that is inside it. Since you are Mario, you will start to float. Quickly float to the middle of the house, and then float straight up. There is a hole in the middle of the roof, so float up through the hole. When you are through the hole, float over to the glass enclosure with the power star in it. Crash into the glass enclosure, and you will receive the power star that it holds. ------------------- 100 Coin Power Star ------------------- Recommended Character: Mario To get this power star, you need to collect one hundred coins. Here are the locations of many of the coins in the level. On the first circular platform that you encounter if you go on the first carpet, there are eight red coins. If you jump backward to the pole when you begin the level, you will find that the pole is on long platform. There are five yellow coins on that platform. If you go the route that takes you to the power star for Swingin' in the Breeze, you will encounter a large, swinging platform. There are five coins in a vertical live above that platform. Right before you reach the tricky triangles, you will encounter on slope. There are donut platforms on either side of the slope. You will find five yellow coins on the slope. If you take the route that leads to the power star for Swingin' in the Breeze, you will encounter two swinging platforms on your journey. There are five yellow coins on the platform just before the second swing. If you collect all eight red coins in the maze, they will give you the equivalent of sixteen yellow coins. Next to the large maze, you will find a blue coin switch. When you pound the switch, six blue coins will appear. In order to get five of the blue coins, you will have to do wall kicks as Mario. On two of the four spinning platforms in the center of the level, there are groups of eight yellow coins. The Lakitu, which flies around the four spinning platforms in the center of the level, will produce five yellow coins if you defeat him. There are five yellow coins inside the big house. If you go on the carpet that leads to the big house, you can get five yellow coins. Ride the carpet as it goes through the house. When it is outside of the house again, continue to ride it as it goes under a few platforms. On one of these platforms you will find five yellow coins. There are eight yellow coins on the Rainbow Cruiser. The Bob-omb and the Goomba, which are on the cruiser, will give you one yellow coin each if you defeat them. The Lakitu that flies around the cruiser will produce five yellow coins if you defeat him. There is well over one hundred coins in the locations listed above. If you collect most of the coins that are listed, you will be able to get one hundred coins and the power star. ====================== 8. Castle Secret Stars ====================== ------------------------------------------ Secret Star 1: The Princess's Secret Slide ------------------------------------------ Recommended Character: Yoshi In order to get your first secret star, head into the castle. Go up the stairs and head right, towards the small door. Enter the door (you need 1 power star to do this), and you will find yourself in room several doors in it. In the room there will be two pictures of Princess Peach. Go to the center of the room, and then turn right and jump into the picture. You will enter one of the secret areas in the castle, in which a large slide is housed. Go onto the slide and ride it all the way to the bottom, using left and right to steer. Be careful not to fall off. When you get to the end, open up the yellow box on the platform. Inside will be the power star. ---------------------------------------------------- Secret Star 2: The Princess's Secret Slide Revisited ---------------------------------------------------- Recommended Character: Yoshi Head into the same area where you got secret star one. Instead of merely completing the slide, you have to complete it in 21 seconds. There are three ways to do this. (1) Go down the slide as quick as you can, always pressing forward, never hitting a wall, and never slowing down. It is a small challenge to do it this way, but with some practice it can be easily done. (2) After you get past the enclosed portion of the slide, jump off of it to your right as Yoshi. Do your flutter kick and keep heading to the right. If done at the right time and place, you will land on the top of the area where you collect the power star. Perform several long jumps, and make you way across the area, back to the track. Jump back onto the track and ride it the short way down to the end of the track. You should easily complete the slide in good time. (3) Ride down the slide, looking at the lower screen to see where it makes a loop. When you at the place where slide goes over itself, jump off the edge of the slide and pound the ground. You will land on another part of the slide. Keep going until you reach the end of the slide. This little shortcut will save you some time, allowing you to collect the power star. ----------------------------- Secret Star 3: Sunshine Isles ----------------------------- Recommended Character: None Once you have one power star, you can acquire this secret star. In order to get this secret star, head to the Rec. Room, which is after the character room. In the Rec. Room, you will find a picture of several islands. Jump into the picture to enter that world. To get the single power star that is in the island world, all you need to do is to collect all five silver stars. Go around the level, using the map to help you find the silver stars. There is one silver star above a palm tree, another one is in the talons of the bird, another on is on a lone island, another one is on top of the main island, and the final silver star is in a cave at the bottom of the main island. Once you have all five silver stars, the power star will appear in the glass enclosure on one of the islands. Break the glass and you will receive the power star. ---------------------------------- Secret Star 4: The Secret Aquarium ---------------------------------- Recommended Character: None Go into the same room where the picture that grants you access to Jolly Roger Bay is. Go up to the picture. Instead of jumping in it, turn around and face the opposite wall. On either side of the back wall is a small hole in the wall that can be accessed by performing a double jump. Enter the hole on the left, and it will take you to yet another secret area. This time you will be enclosed in a tank full of water. Swim around and collect all eight red coins, gathering yellow coins if you need them for air. Once you have collected all eight red coins a power star will appear in the center on the floor of the tank. Retrieve it and you will be released from your temporary imprisonment, not to mention you will have another power star to your name. ------------------------------------------ Secret Star 5: Goomboss Battle 8 Red Coins ------------------------------------------ Recommended Character: Yoshi This secret star is in the Goomboss battle level. In order to get to the Goomboss battle level, start off by heading into the castle. Head up the first flight of stairs, then turn left and head to the door with a one on it. Go into it. Head straight across the carpet, and go through the center door. Now you will be in the rec. room. Turn right and head to the right wall of the room, and then turn left and go into the door with an eight on it. Inside that room you will see a picture of Mario. Jump into the picture to enter this level. Inside the level, you have the daunting task of collecting every single red coin in the level. Start by sliding down the first log you are on. Keep going along the platform you land on, following it as it turns slightly to the left. Jump onto the square platform, and from there jump onto the next large platform. Defeat the Goomba if he gets in your way. After that, keep heading straight, jumping onto the first log as soon as it comes above the murky water. Go to the edge of that log, and jump onto the next log when it starts to come out of the water. Do the same thing for the third log. Once you are on the third log, jump on the solid platform in front of you. Now that you are on solid ground, turn left. There will be a single platform, moving forward and backward, out in the middle of emptiness. When the platform comes near, jump on it. Wait while it take you to the midpoint between a log and the platform you were. At this point it will meet up with another moving platform. Jump over to the other moving platform. Ride it to the log, and then jump onto the log. On the log is a large block that only Wario can destroy. If you are not Wario, defeat the Goomba that is also on the log, and take the Wario cap that he has on. As Wario, break the block and take your first red coin. Next, make your way back across the moving platforms. Safely back on normal ground, go straight, taking the first right you come to. There will he a wire net, spanning a large gap. Jump up to the wire net, and hang on to it. Make your way to the middle of the net, where a red coin will be. Once you have taken the red coin, you are free to turn around and head back to where you first got on the wire net. With two red coins in your possession, go straight, heading towards the log that is sticking out of the water. You will come to a Piranha Plant; merely defeat it and jump onto the log. Jump onto the pole on the log. Ignoring the Lakitu, quickly climb up to the top of the pole. Once you are there, jump off, onto the circular platform. Extending out of the circular platform is a large branch. Walk around the platform until you see the branch. Walk onto the branch, all the way out until you reach the red coin. When you have the red coin that was on the branch, head back to the pole, and slide down it to the log. On one side of the log is a narrow walkway. Jump to the narrow walkway, and make your way across it. Destroy or jump over any boxes you encounter. When the path splits into two ways, take the left route. It will make one last turn, and then it will become a dead end. Just past the walkway is a log, going up and down. When it is near the ground, jump onto it. Ride it to the top. When it is as high as it will go, jump up to get the red coin (you may want to do a backward somersault). Wait until the log goes back down to the ground, and then jump back onto the walkway. Follow the walkway, going straight when the road offers you two ways to go. Soon you will come to a semi-long and wide section of the walkway. It will be parallel to one of the main platforms. Jump onto the main platform. Turn to face both the Piranha Plant, and the logs that move up and down. Defeat the Piranha Plant, and then jump onto the first log. When the next log is low enough for you to safely jump on it, jump on it. Keep doing this until you are on the log right next to the final log. A Piranha Plant is sleeping on the final log, next to a red coin. Carefully jump onto the log, next to the Piranha Plant. Quickly defeat the Piranha Plant before it can wake up. With the log free of enemies, take the red coin. Once you have done that, make your way back down the many logs until you are once again back on a normal platform. If the Piranha Plant has grown back, do not hesitate to destroy it. Facing away from the logs you were just on, turn to the left. You will see a large platform. Jump over to the platform (a long jump is safest). The platform is shaped like a large box, and there is a smaller platform in the middle of it. Jump onto the middle platform. There is a red coin just above it. Jump up to take the coin, and then jump back onto the box-shaped platform. For the next red coin, you will need to be Mario. If you are not Mario, you will need to get his cap. There should be a Goomba on the box-shaped platform. He will most likely be wearing Mario's cap. (If he is not, you will need to look search for Mario's cap. If it is not there it is probably on the extremely large log. Just jump onto the log next to the platform you are on, and then go straight onto the next platform. The large log is right next to that platform.) Defeat the Goomba, and take Mario's hat. As Mario, you are now ready to retrieve the next red coin. Next to the box- shaped platform are several other platforms, suspended in the air. They are turned so that they are the shape of a diamond. Jump across the three platforms until you come to the platform with the ? box on it. Facing away from the diamond-shaped platforms, turn to the right. Still facing right, jump up and break open the ? box. Take the power flower that comes out. Once you have the power star, float straight ahead and up, to the top of the large log. Float fast, as you barely have enough time to make it to the top. The red coin is at the very top. With seven red coins in your control, you only need one more to make the power star appear. Turn to the right, and jump down to the ground (just to make sure you fall in the right direction, look at the map and see that you are falling towards the area, not out into the abyss). There will be a Luigi cap on a Goomba. Defeat the Goomba, and take the cap. When you have the cap on, jump down from the log, onto the platform. Follow the platform as it turns to the right. As soon as you are at the end of the platform, jump onto the log. Go straight across the log, and jump onto the next platform. You should notice that you are once again on the box-shaped platform! Once again, go up the diamond-shaped platforms. Go under the ? box, and open it to get the power flower inside of it. As Luigi, you will be invisible. Make your way back across the platforms, all the way to the base of the tree with last red coin you got on it. Go to around the middle of the tree, and then turn away from the tree. Crouch down, and do a backward somersault. If you positioned yourself correctly, you will land in a cut out portion of the tree. Go through the wire wall (you are invisible after all), and take your final red coin. The power star will then appear. Head back to the box-shaped platform. Instead of turning to go up the diamond-shaped platforms, keep going straight. On the first log in front of you will be the power star. Do a long jump over to the log, and then get the power star on it. ------------------------------------------ Secret Star 6: Goomboss Battle Switch Star ------------------------------------------ Recommended Character: Mario You need to be Mario to retrieve this power star, so it is advisable that you switch to him before entering the level. For this secret star, head into the Goomboss battle level. Once you are inside, slide down the log you start out on. Instead of following the path to the left, jump onto the square platform that is to the left. Once you are on it, jump to the small walkway next to the platform. Walk carefully along the walkway, going until you meet back up with the main path. Turn right onto the path. Follow the main path, and then take the first path off to the right. It will be narrow. Walk with it as it slants upward. At the top it will flatten out into a large area. There will be a Piranha Plant in the center. Defeat the Piranha Plant, and then jump across the set of four platforms. When you are past the platforms, you will end up on a walkway, high in the air. Go along the walkway, and turn into the first indention to your left. There will be a star switch there. Step on the switch, and then head out of the indentation and towards the end of the walkway. At the end of the walkway, there will be a tall wall with several wire walls around it. Jump onto the tall wall, and then do a wall jump to the wire wall. Keep doing wall kicks from one wall to another. Soon you will be at the top, and you will land on a platform. The star is on the platform as well. Jump into the glass enclosure to break it and claim your next power star. ------------------------------------------- Secret Star 7: Castle Courtyard 8 Red Coins ------------------------------------------- Recommended Character: Mario You can only acquire this power star for a short amount of time, so we recommend getting it as soon as you can become Mario. If you do not get it, just talk to one of the Toads that gives you a power star. They should give you this power star. For this star, you should be Mario. When you enter the castle as Mario, head straight across the floor. Go slightly to either the left or right, and go into one of the plain, wooden doors. On the other side of the door, you will see a hallway with a ghost in it. Go into the hallway, and follow the ghost through the hallway. At the other end of the hallway you will find a door. Go through the door, and you will enter the castle courtyard. There are many Boos in the courtyard, and several of them have red coins. Go around the courtyard, defeating the Boos and taking their red coins. To defeat the Boos, punch them while they are visible, or jump above them and pound them. Once you have collected all eight red coins from the Boos, a power star will appear on the side of the courtyard opposite the door you came from. Collect the power star. ---------------------------------------- Secret Star 8: The Secret of Battle Fort ---------------------------------------- Recommended Character: None This is a fun challenge to do, but you need a character besides Yoshi do complete it. For this challenge, head into the courtyard. When you are there, head to the upper right corner of the courtyard. There will be several red brick blocks there. Punch the blocks to break them open. Under one of the blocks is a hole. When you find the hole, fall into it. You will go to Battle Fort. In order to get the power star that is held there, you need to collect all five silver stars. Start by running forward towards the pole. Jump over the wind-up enemy that is there, and jump onto the pole. When you reach the pole, climb to the top of it. You will find a silver star above the wire path at the top of the pole. Jump off the pole and take the silver star. Then, jump down to the bast of the level, and pound the ground before you land so that you do not take damage. A Goomba is walking peacefully near the base of the pole. He is so calm, so you would not expect that he was a silver star thief. Run over to the Goomba and defeat it to take its silver star. With two silver stars in your control, run over to the wall of the level. From there, run along the edge of the wall until you come to a corner with four brick blocks in it. Break open the brick block that is closest to the corner, and a silver star will appear. With three silver stars in your control, run along the edge of the level. Destroy all of the Goombas that you encounter. One of the Goombas has a silver star, and it will appear when you defeat the Goomba. After that, look at the map on the bottom screen to find which corner the last silver star is in. Run over to that corner, and break the brick block that is closest to the corner. When the block breaks, it will reveal the silver star that was inside of it. Take your fifth silver star, and the power star will appear inside of the glass enclosure. The glass enclosure is in one of the corners of the level, so run over to it and break it open. You will receive the power star, and you will exit the level. --------------------------------------------------- Secret Star 9: Bowser in the Dark World 8 Red Coins --------------------------------------------------- Recommended Character: Yoshi When you have twelve power stars, you can attempt to collect the eight red coins in the Dark World. When you enter the castle, head up the center set of stairs, and go into the large star door to the left. Run straight through the hallway, until you fall down into the Dark World. Inside the dark world, head straight until you come to the first fire emitter. As soon as it stops shooting fire, run onto the switch that is next to it. The switch will make block paths to two red coins. First, run straight across from the fire emitter to find the first red coin. Quickly get the red coin and head back to where you started the level, making sure that you are not burned by the fire emitter. Go to the very beginning of the level, and you will find a path made of three blocks, leading to the second red coin. Take the red coin, and get back onto solid ground before the blocks disappear. With two red coins in your control, head all the way across the level, up to where the narrow, twisting path is (see next power star for more exact directions). The third red coin is beside the crystal that the second spherical enemy flying around. Take the coin, and keep on going. When you get to the yellow platform that moves back and forth, jump onto it and over to the platform that is above it. When it starts to come out the other side, jump down, and take the red coin that is there. Then, before the yellow platform starts to go back the other way, jump onto the next platform. There will be two moving platforms that go by the platform you will be on. Go onto the first one that passes you, and, if you are facing straight away from the yellow platform, go to the lower left corner of the platform. Stand there as it goes along its specified path, and you will get the red coin that is there. With that red coin in your control, jump to the next set of moving platforms, and from there, jump onto the solid platform. Go straight to the end of the platform, and you will see a narrow walkway coming out to your right. Fall onto it, and follow it to the circular platform in the sky. The next red will be on the platform. Take your sixth red coin, and then head back to the platform that the walkway comes out of. Jump onto the first tilting platform. Once you are on it, run to the other side of it and jump onto the higher tilting platform. Run across that platform, and at the end of it, jump on the platform that is high in the air. On that platform, turn around and face away from Bowser's tube, which would be straight ahead. There are several other platforms in the air. Jump and flutter kick (or do long jumps if you are not Yoshi) from one platforms to another, until you reach the final platform. The red coin is on it. Next, jump back across the platforms until you are at the one you jumped on from the tilting platform.
