Super Mario 64 FerrisB@gnn.com (RiGoR) 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 FerrisB@gnn.com 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.

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.
