I'm on 118 stars but still need to get 100 on Tick Tock Clock plus one secret star. Mind you, I've completed Zelda twice !If anybody can post the locations of the 15 secret stars it would be a massive help. |

Jstampa@hotmail.com Thursday, July 1, 1999 at 03:41:39 I borrowed the game off my mate and i love it. I love all the jumps, dives and attacks that you can do. In the actual game there is so much detail and fun. I love getting fired out of a cannon and then flying. I love the bosses but some are a bit pathetic at fighting and you can just8 beat them up easiliy. Some bosses are as hard as a rock. I like the Eagle on Whomps fortress who gives you a lift. Racing the big penguin on the massive slide is class. It is good at the start where you get to pull Mario's face around. Overall the game is great with a laugh around every corner. |

ice_blue99@hotmail.com Tuesday, May 25, 1999 at 14:17:40 Super Mario 64 is one of the best games in America. It has the second best graphics ever (The Ledgend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time beat it). There are thousands of web sites dedicated to this game. If you do not own this game you have to buy it. It's a great game that will keep you playing for years. There are all kinds of secrets and surprises. Combining great graphics, tons of game play and much much more make it a must have. Tons of levels challenge you and Three Bowser fights taunt you. Plus the extra challeng of collecting all 120 stars. If you have been putting buying this game off to buy newwer games stop right there! It may not be new but is one of the funnest games you will ever buy. I guarentee it! |

monmon@cnl.com.au Saturday, March 27, 1999 at 18:14:50 I reckon this game is awesome. It has the best graphics and the best gameplay. It is good how Mario can get stars and how he does the different actions in the game. I love the cannons on the levels how they blat you in the sky. I really like deafeating the Bowsers too. |
Belly Flop
To make Mario do a belly flop, do a sideflip but press
A and B simultaneously.
Big Bomb-om
You need to have perfect timing to get this one right.
Okay. Upset a bomb-om, and RIGHT when it is about to explode (RIGHT when
it turns big, or a second before) And you'll be holding a huge Bomb-om.
The big Bomb-om will stay in your hands for about 5 seconds, then it will
blow. Don't worry. The blast won't affect you one bit. After this trick
is done, you will be able to do the invisible Bomb-om trick.
Bowser Shortcuts
On the third Bowser, I find a small part of the level
very annoying, so I found a way to skip it. On the first "vertical merry-go-round"
(the one with the visible life in the middle), duck. When you reach the
peak of the revolution, jump. If you timed right, Mario should flip onto
a platform above him.
When you get half way up the first part of the metal ramp (the part where you can stand still and not fall before the first flame thrower), turn around and do a long jump. If you did this correctly you will be on the checkered platform with the small firebreathing plant.
Butterfly Punching
Sometimes in the game you will see a bunch of butterflies
fly out of a tree or grass. Punch or touch any of them and they will turn
into a 1-UP. Also some of the butterflies turn into bombs.
Camera Trick
After you've won the game, you can control the camera
angle in the scene where Mario is talking to the Princess. To do so, use
the analog stick on Controller Two. You can also do this on the Credits
screen.
Change Obstacle Speed
To change the obstacle speed on Course 14, try this.
For slower obstacles, enter when the minute hand is on 3. To stop them
completely, enter when the minute hand is on 12. For the more ambitious,
enter when the minute hand is on 6 for a greater challenge, or 9 for the
ride of your life!
Climb Steep Surfaces
In star 1-2, when you start the race, go through the
trench and then long jump onto the marble slope. Now keep holding the A
button and press the B button repeatedly. You will then jump-kick your
way up the slope and end up on a part of the mountain if done correctly.
This should save you a lot of time on the race. This technique works elsewhere
too.
Easy Star 6 in Wet-Dry World
To get star 6 in Wet-Dry World the easy way, just go
to Wet-Dry World and go to town. Once you're there, go into the cage with
the star in it (don't hit the ! Switch.) Once your cap runs-out, wall-kick
off the fence and onto the ledge!
Escape the Black Room of Death
For years people thought that the only way to escape
the Black Room of Death (the bug where you jump into the middle pillar
of the castle) was resetting the game. Well, I have found the way to escape
it. When you are inside the Black Room of Death on the inside view of the
castle put yourself against the right side of the room. Make sure that
you can't see Mario. Now run or jump towards the wall that would be on
the side of the door to the outside. You should jump through the wall and
be free of the Black Room of Death.
Extra Lives Outside
When you are outside, and the water is gone, go under
the bridge and locate two yellow coins. Do a side jump and then a wall
kick to get them. When you get the second coin a 1-up should fall. Run
over to it and collect it. Enter the basement or the main castle door,
then come out again and recollect your 1-up. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Extra Lives from Moles
You can get 1 extra life on any of the levels with moles.
If you jump on 6 Moles there will appear a secret life.
Extra Lives on the Ice Stage
To find some extra lives on the Ice stage:
On the first Ice stage, begin your slide.
On the first left turn, head for the row of Coins.
You'll slide into a tunnel that holds 2 extra lives.
Final Level Playing Tip
The very last level is very hard unless you know a secret.
The first couple of hits are easy because the whole plate is still there.
But when the sides fall out and form a star, this is what you do. Whenever
Bouser runs at you do a side jump right over his head. When the plate starts
to tilt, find the running speed that will keep you in the exact same spot.
First Person View
Set your camera mode to "HOLD CAM" then, using the regular
camera, look around by pressing C-Up. Now hold R and press A or B. The
Lakitu should be very close to Mario. Walk into the Lakitu to change your
perspective. You can see your surroundings, but you may see pieces of Mario.
Hat Trick
Go to the desert level in the basement, then choose any
level other than #1. Go to the palm tree by the red bomb-omb buddy. Let
the bird take your hat, then stand on the closest piller and when the bird
flies around the piller, hit him so he drops the hat, but don't pick it
up. Stand under the palm tree until you teleport by the cannon. Then teleport
back to the palm tree.
Every time you do this, another hat will fall on top of the one before it. After you do this 50 times, the game will screw-up and freeze.
Healing
If your power meter is low dive into the nearest pool
of water. When you resurface your power meter will be restored.
Hidden Coins
Run around any wooden post five times to receive five
coins.
Invisible Bomb-om
You need to have already have done the Big Bomb-om trick,
and after the blast, your hands will still be held out like you're holding
an invinsible Bomb-om. You can walk around and jump & stuff, nothing
will happen. But if you throw it, you throw the invisible Bomb-om and that's
it.
Kill Bowser in Seconds
This is easy to pull off on Bowser One, but a bit harder
on Bowser Two or Three. Run behind him and grab his tail. As soon as Mario
picks it up, drop it by pressing B again. Then run in front of Bowser and
press B. Mario should've punched thin air, but Bowser will actually transport
from behind Mario to his tail being in Mario's mitts! Use this technique
to lure him into a bomb.
Koopa Race Shortcut
When you are racing Koopa the Quick in Bob-omb battle
field, you can use a number of tricks to beat him. The first one, after
you go up the first bridge, you will see a flower patch on the other side
of the fence.
Ignore Koopa and go into the flower patch. You will teleport to the other side of the course. You should go over the stone bridge and you will see 3 boulders rolling in a small area. There is a hill with a red coin onit to the left of the boulders.
Go up the hill and you'll see Koopa going around the bend. Jump into the first cave on the path with boulders. You will teleport to the second cave. Just go up the mountain the rest of the way. You will have beaten Koopa by at least 25 seconds. This is a trick Koopa doesnt know about.
Messed-up Room
After you get all 120 stars, shoot yourself onto the
roof where Yoshi is. Then get the winged hat and jump off the roof. Now
go back into the cannon and shoot yourself back onto the roof only this
time aim for the highest "tower" (in the direct center of the castle).
Go to the left side of the wall, facing the castle and before the perpendicular
wall, and do a jump-dive into the side of the wall. You should fall through
the castle into a "black room" that is a major glitch.
Owl Ride
To get a ride on an owl, go to Whomp's Fortress (Level
2) and pick "Shoot Into The Wild Blue" or a higher star. Now climb the
tree to your left and an owl will fly out. He will now let you ride him.
But if you wait too long he'll tell you to lay off the pasta and drop you.
Penguin Rematch
When you get 120 stars return to Cool Cool Mountain for
a rematch with the penguin. If you thought he was big before, you'll be
in for a surprise.
Quick Trip Downtown in Wet-Dry World
You DO NOT need the cannon to get stars 11-5 and 11-6
("Going Downtown for 8 Red Coins" and "Quick Race Through Downtown!").
To get a shortcut, jump in the painting to Wet-Dry World as high as you
can. If you jumped high enough, the water level should be at its peak.
Now just swim over to the caged area and jump out; Mario should grab on
to the fencing. Just dive in and swim your way downtown!
Secret Aquarium
On course 3 jolly rancher bay go in the door and take
a few steps and go to the right. Look up and there will be a dark black
square. Go in the square and you will go to the secret aqarium and get
8 red coins.
Short-cut in Tall Tall Mountain
When you start out in Tall Tall Mountain don't go the
usual way, instead go the other way behind you you will find a 1-up and
have to keep runing after you get it and immediately afterwards go towards
the wall you will be on a upper part of the level.
Shortcut to Star #4 on Lethal Lava
Go to Lethal Lava Land and pick Star #4. Find the Grating
where Mr. I is waiting, then enter the hole. Wait and you will warp to
an island with a Wing Cap. Put it on, then do a triple jump and fly past
the log onto the island with Star #4.
Shortcut to Star #6 in Cool, Cool Mountain
When you begin the level run past the cottage at the
beginning and head to the platform where the snowman's body is. Near there
should be a guy that sorta looks like a flower (He has flower petals on
his head) and jump on him. Mario will do his helecopter spin. While Mario
is spinning in air, He will decend slowly. Steer him towards the edge of
the lowest platform of the area. (I.E. the Platform where the Icicles hang
from) DO NOT LAND ON THE PLATFORM!! Instead, decend under the ledge and
try to land on the Ice platform where star #6 rests. It's alot easier than
using wall kicks to get it as labeled (Wall Kicks will work)!!
Sliding Shortcuts
To improve your time on the Red Sliding level:
Enter the Red Sliding level.
Jump to the left as soon as you exit the tunnel.
With a little practice you can land on the later part
of the course, saving you valuable time. Complete the course in under 21
seconds to receive a Star.
This shortcut works in the ice/blue sliding level.
Pass the first two turns.
Do not turn at the third turn.
Let yourself fall slightly to the left.
Teleport on Cool, Cool, Mountain
On the level Cool, Cool, Mountain where you start, turn
right until you see a broken down bridge. Go to the very end of the bridge
and it will teleport you to another broken down bridge right next to the
mother penguin. However you can't take the baby penguin on this secret.
Top of the World
After obtaining 120 stars and talking to Yoshi, Mario
can climb up to the very tip of the steeple on the castle. Acquire wings,
climb into the cannon and shoot yourself as high up as you can, aiming
at the steeple. Once you get to the lower ring, you can climb up the wall
that is on the left back side (northwest from above.) If you get to the
exact top of the steeple, you can triple-jump without running and fly incredibly
high.
Unlimited Lives - American Version
When you start a game outside of the castle go to the
second tree from the waterfall climb it and get the extra life. Now go
into the castle door and comeback out again to get another life, you can
keep on doing this forever.
Unlimited Lives - Japanese Version
For infinite lives in the Japanese version, go to any
of the Bowser bosses (the first is easiest). Run around Bowser and collect
1,000 of the coins he drops. From now on when you die you will gain a life
instead of losing a life.
Unlimited Lives in Final Battle
When fighting Bowser for the third time, if you get killed
you can keep getting a 1-Up by walking behind the top left pillar.
Visit Yoshi
1. Collect all 120 Stars
2. Go to the Castle Gardens
3. The grid near the Fish Pond will open, revealing a
cannon
4. Shoot yourself onto the roof of the Castle and Yoshi
will be there!
5. It's a short visit, but he'll give you 99 lives and
a triple-jump move before he leaves!
Wet-Dry Wonders
They say that a picture's worth a thousand words. Apparently,
the picture of Wet-Dry World is also worth a thousand valves. You can control
the level of water by the height of Mario's jump. If he jumps into the
picture at a higher level, the water level is higher (and visa versa.)
You can save lots of mucking about by choosing the right height.
