UPDATES ]- V-1.1 [11/29/04] A good chunk of the walkthrough finished and ready to go, and some other sections started. V-1 [11/23/04] First Version! Everything started and ready to be worked on. -[ 2. INTRO/STATEMENT ]- Hey all! I'd like to say thank you for using my FAQ/Walkthrough. I've only started this, but I plan to put a lot of work in to complete it. As you all probably know, this is basically a port of the Nintendo 64 game Super Mario 64. Its not just a port though, it has a lot of new levels, stars to collect, and features, like four playable characters. I've only started the game myself, but I'll be adding to the walkthrough as I go through it. Good luck to everyone, and hopefully my guide gets someone out of trouble. ^^ -[ 3. CHARACTERS ]- -3.1 Playable Characters- -----YOSHI----- The starting character, you will have to play Yoshi until you get 8 stars and unlock Mario. Because he cant punch, Yoshi is weaker than other characters in the power department. However, he can swallow all kinds of things and turn them into eggs to throw. SPECIAL MOVES; Swallowing [A] - Swallow enemies and certian objects. Flutter Kick [Press and hold B] - Hold yourself in the air for a few seconds while jumping. Fire Power [Power Flower] - When Yoshi gets a Power Flower, he can breathe fire by pressing A. Can not be used normally. Eggs [R or A] - When Yoshi's mouth is full, press [R] to lay an egg or press [A] to spit out the swallowed object. Power - Speed - XX Jump - XXX Yoshi is a good beginner character and good to start of controls with. You will probably be playing the other characters more often later in the game though. -----MARIO----- You can unlock Mario once you get 8 stars. Mario has a balanced set of moves. Though Luigi and Yoshi have better jumping skills, Mario makes upfor them by being able to float. SPECIAL MOVES; Wall Kick [B+B] - To preform a wall kick, jump toward the wall, and jump again as you hit it. Floating Power [Power Flower] - When Mario gets a Power Flower, he becomes a balloon and can float to high places. Float up by pressing [B] repeatedly. Control his direction with the [D-Pad]. Wings [Feather] - When Mario gets wings, he can take to the skies. Take off by preforming a triple jump. Control with the [D-Pad]. Power - XX Speed - XX Jump - XX The classic character, everyones favorite and average with everything. If you have played the 64 version you will probably be most comfortable with Mario, since he has mostly the same controls. -----LUIGI----- Luigi's major strength is his agility. However, his lack of power makes heavy lifting difficult. SPECIAL MOVES; Invisibility Power [Power Flower] - When Luigi gets a Power Flower, he becomes invisible for a short time. When hes invisible, Luigi can run right through many enemies and objects. Scuttle [B] - Hold [B].. not sure what this does. Backward Somersault [R+B] - Press [R], then [B] to preform a backward somersault. [Any character can do this.] Water Run [D-Pad+Y] - Luigi can run on the water for a short time by running toward the water and jumping. Power - X Speed - XX Jump - XXX I haven't unlocked Luigi yet, but he seems to have some nice abilitys and good jumping. -----WARIO----- Though hes lacking in the speed and agility departments [not to mention smarts], when you need a little muscle, Warios your man! His powerful moves can break objects and beat up enemies. SPECIAL MOVES; Wario Whack [A] - Use this powerful move to break things the other characters can't. Metal Power [Power Flower] - When Wario gets a Power Flower, he'll turn into metal. For a while, he'll become invincible to enemy attacks and able to walk on the sea floor. Swing and Fling [A+D-Pad+A] - Grab enemy and swing around with the [D-Pad], press [A] to release. You can use this move only in VS mode. POWER - XXX Speed - X Jump - X I haven't unlocked Wario yet, but his Wario Whack and Metal Power look very useful. -3.2 Other Characters- -----PEACH----- The princess that Mario is always there to rescue, and always seems to get everyone else in a lot of trouble. -----LAKITU----- The camera dude that flies around you all the time. Sometimes there are evil Lakitus in certian levels that like to throw spiked Koopa shells at you! More to be added... -3.3 Basic Controls- Standard Mode [D-Pad] - Walk [D-Pad + Y] - Dash [A] - Attack [B] - Jump [Y] - Dash [X] - Zoom Camera [L] - Center Camera [R] - Crouch Touch Mode [D-Pad] Not used [Screen] Move, Zoom Camera [A] Attack [B] Jump [X] Rotate Camera Right [Y] Rotate Camera Left [L] Center Camera [R] Crouch Dual-Hand Mode [Screen] Move, Zoom Camera, Rotate Camera [D-Pad ^ // X] - Jump [D-Pad > // A] - Attack [D-Pad < // Y] - Center Camera [D-Pad V // B] - Crouch -3.4 Cool Moves- [B + R] - Ground Pound [R + B] - Backflip [B + B + B] - Triple Jump [D-Pad < + B // D-Pad > + Y] - Side Somersault [Dash + R + B] - Long Jump [A + A + A] - Kick [B + A] - Jump Kick [R + Move] - Crawl [Dash + R + A] - Slide Kick [Dash + A] Slide Dash [R + A] Sweep Kick -[ 4. WALKTHROUGH ]- Once you start the game up, you can play around with Mario's face, kind of like how you do it in the origional version. You can also draw your own picture and mess with it. From here you have three options; VS - Play with other people, and I belive you only need 1 game card! You can practice by yourself, too. I haven't tried this out with anyone else yet. ADVENTURE - The core of the game, the adventure. 150 stars to collect and plenty of new stuff added to the origional! REC ROOM - The mini games, which are actually pretty fun. See [Section 5]. Select [ADVENTURE] and your on your way! ----- -4.1//THE BEGINNING- Finally, we get to the good stuff! The game starts off a lot like the 64 version, the graphics have actually improved and a few of the sounds have been re-recorded, like Peach's intro speech. The obvious change is that you see Mario, Luigi, and Warioarriving in the warp pipes instead of just Mario, and you start off as Yoshi. The Mario Bros. play around a bit, and run into the castle. The camera moves to the top of the castle, where you see Yoshi sleeping. Once you have control of Yoshi, run to the castle. The door is locked. Lakitu says that a rabbit took off with the key to the door. Look on the touch screen for a key icon and go to it. Its easy to catch, just press [B] to swallow the rabbit when your behind it or its coming toward you, then it will give up the key and you can unlock the door. Once your inside the castle, you will get a strange message. Don't pay any attention to it. Go to your left and climb the small set of stairs. Go through the door with a blank star on it. This is the only level you will have access to. Go into the door and you will see a picture of Bob-ombs on the wall. Jump into it, this is the first level of the game. -4.2//CASTLE PT.1 -PART A//BOB-OMB BATTLEFIELD- STAR 1 - Big Bob-omb on the Summit Difficulty - * Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - None Your first challenge. Obviously the red Bob-ombs are harmless, but watch out for the black ones, they will chase after you and explode. Watch out for the Goombas [the orange mushroom type things], they will attack you. Jump on them or swallow them. After killing the Goombas, run up the bridge straight ahead. Take a left, following the path. Watch out for the Chain Chomp [the big black thing with teeth], stay close to the fence and you will be safe. Run across the bridge. Watch out, it tips, so go quickly. Head up the little set of stairs and go towards the right, following the arrows. Water bombs are shot around this area, so keep moving so you don't get hit by any. Theres some Bob-ombs too. Once you get next to the mountain, you should see a pit with 2 black balls rolling around in it. Run though here, try not to get hit, and work your way up the mountain. Dodge the ballsrolling down on the way up. Make sure you make it over the gaps, the flutter kick might be useful here. If your missing any health, walk though the spinning heart to recover it. Now finish running up to the top and... BOSS BATTLE!!! Big Bob-omb Difficulty - * Walk up to him and listen to his little speech, then get a little distance. He will start throwing little bob-ombs at you, which immediately start chasing you. Swallow them and spit them back at the Big Bomb-omb. Don't get to close or he will throw you. After you spit the bomb back at him, he will start bouncing around. Make sure you don't get crushed. If you hold the bomb for too long, it will explode in your mouth, so also watch out for that. After you hit him with bombs three times, he will explode and you will earn your first star. Good job! NOTE: You can enter the Rec Room upstairs, which has a couple rooms in it, and you can go to Whomp's Fortress which is the door downstairs with a 1 inside a Star on it. STAR 2 - Footrace with Koopa the Quick Difficulty - ** Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - Star 1 Completed Koopa the Quick wants to have a race with Mario, but hes no where to be found. So you have to impersonate Mario, but first you have to find a red cap. Talk to the Red Bob-omb by Koopa [the thing with a shell] and it will tell you where the cap is. Its easier to go straight and get the red cap from the Goomba walking around. Once you turn into Mario, then go back to Koopa, and he will ask you to race. The goal is to get to the top of the mountain, where the Big Bob-omb was before Koopa gets there. Just follow the path I described before. Make sure you don't get hit by any enemies, or you will lose the Mario cap and you'll have to find another Mario cap or Koopa won't give you the star, even if you win. It might take a couple tries, but its fairly easy. STAR 3 - 5 Silver Stars! Difficulty - * Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - Stars 1-2 Completed Anyone who has played the 64 version should remember that theres no silver stars. This is a new level, making 7 stars available for each level, and another annoying red-coin type mission. The stars all show up on the touch screen map, so this is pretty easy. But of you get hit, you lose a star and have to go chasing after it. Heres the stars you have to collect; In no paticular order; Star 1 - Above a tree near the start of the level, by the Goombas. Just climb to the top of the tree and jump. Star 2 - On the Chain Chomp's chain, the Chomb is loose and running around the area across the first bridge. As long as you stay behing the Chomp, theres no danger. Star 3 - Held by a Goomba in the fenced in area. Star 4 - Sitting openly in a patch of flowers in the bottom left corner of the course. Star 5 - Held by another Goomba a little ways up the mountain. Once you collect all 5, go get the star which appears next to the entrance zone. Happy hunting! NOTE: You obviously have 3 stars by now, so you can go to any of the 3 Star rooms on the bottom floor. These are a bit harder! STAR 4 - Big Bob-Omb's Revenge Difficulty - * Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - Stars 1-3 Completed This level is similar to the first one, but the battle is a little different. Its still very easy. Just go up the mountian again. You need to be Mario though, because you have to be able to pick the Big Bob-omb up and throw him. The red cap is held by a Goomba somewhere on the mountain. Watch out while going up the mountain, at certian spots Bob-ombs will drop and chase after you until they explode. Once your at the top... BOSS BATTLE!!! Big Bob-omb [Again!] Difficulty - * Dont get to close, or he will throw you like he did before. Hes pretty slow, so just run behind him, pick him up, and chuck him. Do this 3 times and the star is yours. Easy, eh? He explodes and you get yet another star! STAR 5 - Mario Wings To The Sky Difficulty - *** Best Character - Mario Requirements - Mario, Wing Cap NOTE: For this level you will need Mario, and the Wing Cap. You cant get Mario until you have 8 stars, and the Wing Cap until you have 10, so come back to this level after you have 10 stars and you beat the challenges to unlock Mario and the Wing Cap. Make sure you talk to the Red Bob-omb as you enter the level so he prepare the cannons for you. Make your way up to the mountain until you get to the cannon you can use thats closest to the top. Hop in, and shoot towards the floating island. Aim for the red coin, and you shouldn't fly off or past it. Grab the Wing Cap, and jump in the cannon. Aim for the center coins. You should get the first 3 no problem. The next 2 are harder, you have to pull up at the right time, which seems to be around the second coin. Once you get all the 5 center coins, a star will appear in the fenced in area. STAR 6 - Find the 8 Red Coins Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - None Ah... the classic red coin level, this ones a lot easier compared to some other ones Coin 1 - On the lift near the first bridge. Coin 2 - On a large rock straight ahead of the first bridge. Coin 3 - On the Chain Chomp's post. Coin 4 - Openly in the fenced in area full of Goombas. Coin 5 - Near Coin #5. Coin 6 - Under the stone bridge leading to the mountain. Coin 7 - On the hill past the first arrow sign. Coin 8 - Above a tree on the floating island. Very easy! STAR 7 - Behind Chain Chomp's Gate Difficulty - ** Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - None This level is very easy if you use Yoshi, he can paralyze the Chain Chomp with his eggs, therefore making it unable to move and the post wide open. You can do this with Mario too, just not as easily. You just have to ground pound the Chain Chomp's post, then he will be set free and he will STAR 8 - Collect 100 Coins Difficulty - * Best Character - Mario Requirements - None This doesn't actually appear on the menu, and you can do this in every level. Just collect 100 coins. This is easy in this level, the coins are plentiful. They are just lying around, and you can kill monsters and crush blocks for them too. Good luck and happy coin collecting! -PART B//WHOMP'S FORTRESS- STAR 1 - Chip Off Whomp's Block Difficulty - * Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - 1 Star Ah, a new level! And an easy one at that. To sneak by the plants, just use the touch screen to walk softly. Once you unlock Mario, you can just punch them to get rid of them. On this level you have to make it to the top of Whomp's Fortress, and then defeat the Giant Whomp in the boss battle. To skip some extra travel time, you can just backflip up on the ledge at the start of the level, where the stone wall is. Follow the trail of coins up the stone wall, then sneak by the plant. Watch out for the bridge, the stones fall after you cross. There will be a board that will bring you around. Go to the middle, otherwise you will be pushed off by the stone block. Keep heading up the castle. You can climb the flag pole for an extra life. Don't worry about the Whomps, they are dumb and slow. You can simply walk right by them. If you climb up the flag pole you can just jump off and flutter kick to the top, or you can take the lift. Either way works. BOSS BATTLE!!! Giant Whomp Difficulty - * This one is easy. Just stand in front of the Whomp until he starts falling down. Quickly get out of his way so you don't get smashed, then jump on his back and do a Ground Pound. Do this three times and hes done! The star is yours. NOTE: If you have collected 4 of the Bob-omb Battlefield stars, and 3 of the secret stars, you can now unlock Mario. Woohoo! But you might as well get some more stars while you can. STAR 2 - To The Top of the Fortress Difficulty - * Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - Star 1 Completed Yoshi is probably better for this than Mario, because he can flutter kick and it lessens the chances of falling off the fortress. This level is simple, just go to the top of the fortress. You'll notice that there is a new tower, just jump up on the ledges. Watch out for the bullets that are shot at you if you walk in front of the cannon type-thing. Be careful, because every other ledge goes in and out. Yoshi can simply flutter kick over these. The last one is a lift up to the top, where a star is waiting for you. Easy! STAR 3 - Shoot Into the Wild Blue Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - Stars 1-2 Completed Backflip up the ledge and head left. Talk to the red Bob-omb and he will prepare the cannon for you. Go into the cannon, aim carefully. The pole where you got the extra life before, aim for the very bottom of that. You should grab the smaller pole where the star is if you aim right. Slide down and collect your star. This level is easy except for it might take a couple tries to aim right. NOTE: You probably have 10 stars by now. You can finally unlock the Wing Cap and go back to complete Bob-omb Battlefield! STAR 4 - Red Coins on the Floating Isle Difficulty - ** Best Character - Mario Requirements - Mario You need Mario for this level, so if you haven't unlocked him already, then do so! See Section 4.2D, Unlocking Mario and the Wing Cap. The coins are scattered about the world, heres basically where they are, in no certian order... Coin 1 - Above one of the blocks that push out, on the way to the top of the castle. Coin 2 - Above the Thwomp closest to the top of the stone stairs. Coin 3 - On the side in a patch of flowers, watch out for the Pirana Plants. Coin 4 - Behind a Pirana Plant, you have to sneak by to get it. Coin 5 - On a ledge near Coin #4. Coin 6 - On the thing that brings you around across the gap. Coin 7 - On one of the floating islands, kick the board down to make a bridge to them. Yoshi can't kick the board down, so Mario must be unlocked. Coin 8 - On the highest floating isle. The star appears near the beginning of the level, on the blue star on the ground. Good luck! STAR 5 - Fall Onto the Caged Island Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - Stars 1-4 Completed When you appear on the level, theres an owl in the tree right next to you. Climb up the tree and the owl will fly out. Jump up and when it grabs you, hold B and steer over to the caged island. When you are directly above it let go of B and collect the star. STAR 6 - Blast Away The Wall Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - None This ones simple, just get into the cannon and aim for the corner of the wall. You will break it and a star will pop out. Go back to the cannon and aim for the star, and your done! STAR 7 - Switch Star of the Fortress Difficulty - * Best Character - Mario Requirements - Star 1-6 Completed Another pretty easy one. Just go around the side, below where the blocks on the level above you push you off, and there is a block. You need Mario unlocked so you can break the block. Under the block, there is a star switch. Run around to the other side, where the star is in a crystal ball. Break it open to get the star. Your timed, so move quickly. You should have plenty of time to spare. STAR 8 - 100 Coins Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - None Coins are plentiful in this level. Just go around getting all the coins you see, it shouldn't take much time and is easy. Make sure you collect the red coins, which are worth 2 coins, and kill the Pirana Plants for 5 coins each. -Part C//UNLOCKING MARIO AND THE WING CAP- Difficulty - *** Best Character - Yoshi Requirements - 8 Stars Unlocking Mario is fairly easy, but the Goombas get extremely annoying in the level you have to enter! To get there, go to the Rec Room, and in that room theres a door that requires you to have 8 stars to enter. Go inside, and jump on the painting of Mario to enter the "Goomboss Battle". You can collect red coins and step on the star switch to get 2 extra stars in this level, but you might want to save that untillater. To fight the Goomboss and unlock Mario, you need to get to the top of this strange place, and jump in a hole. The boss battle is kind of tough at first, so have plenty of extra lives. On your map, you should see a red X on top of a big tree trunk. This is where you need to go. Follow the paths and dont step off the sides, and you should be fine. Find your way around until you get to the place where there is one of those biting plants, and a evil Lakitu. Swallow one of the spike balls he throws, and make a egg of it. Chuck it at the plant. Jump on the stump and climb up the vine, Then go up the ladder, dont forget about the Goombas. Sneak by the plant, walk through the heart, and jump into the hole in the tree trunk to enter the battle. Don't worry about dying as long as you dont lose all your lives, you don't have to do the whole level over. BOSS BATTLE!!! Goomboss Difficulty - *** This guy seems kind of crazy... just look at his eyes! Get behind him and swallow one of the Goombas, you might want to kill the other ones because they will attack you. Spit it at Goomboss. He will get bigger. Get behind him again, and repeat. After the 3rd time you will get the key to unlock Mario's room. Try not to take too much damage from the Goombas, because it will happen and you will end up dying. Try not to get trampeled or fall into the poison either. If your careful, then this level is pretty easy. It took me a few tries to beat it the first time. Good job! Don't forget to save. Go back outside the Rec Room, and to the door with the M on it. Your finally Mario again! If you ever want to switch back to Yoshi, just go back into Mario's room. If you have 10 stars, then go to the main part of the castle, where theres a sun rug in front of the stairs. Make sure you get a star from each of the levels so far. Stand in the middle, and press X, then look up. Fly down to the top of the tower, and ground pound above it for an easy landing. Step on the red switch to unlock the Wing Cap. You can also collect 8 red coins here for a star! Now go back and beat those Bob-omb Battlefield and Whomp's Fortress levels you were stuck on before. -PART D//JOLLY ROGER BAY STAR 1 - Pluder In the Sunken Ship Difficulty - * Best Character - Mario Requirements - 3 Stars Oh yay, a water level. Make sure you don't stay under water for too long, or you will die! You will probably automatically notice a star on the touch screen map. You need to swim there, because thats where the sunken ship is. Yes, you have to go under water. When you reach the area above the star on the map, you should dive underwater. The ship is obvious. On the top of the ship theres a black hole which you need to enter, but theres an eel in it. Go near the eel to draw it out, and then go into the ship. Once your in the ship, just open the treasure chest, if you need power just collect coins. The water will drain out and you get your star prize at the top! STAR 2 - Can the Eel Come Out to Play? Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - Star 1 Completed Back to Jolly Roger Bay... You'll notice that theres a star way across the lake. You have to swim way over there and dive underwater. You will see the eel's head sticking out. Swim near it, and it will swim out of its hole. Stay a bit away from it and you will not get damaged. The star will be attached to the eel's tail. Just swim to it and it will let go, then get the star. STAR 3 - Treasure In The Ocean Cave Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - Star 1-2 Completed When you enter the level, you see a star way across the screen. Yes, you have to swim through an underwater cave. Swim to the long cave on the map. The eel will be swimming around, so watch out. Once your inside the cave, pillars will fall so watch out for those too. I'm not sure if its random or not, but heres the order in which I opened the chests. If you get it wrong you get shocked and lose 1 power bar. 1 - The north chest 2 - The west chest 3 - The east chest 4 - The south chest When you open them all, a star will appear out of the fourth one. STAR 4 - Blast to the Stone Pillar Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - None There is a star on a ledge on the side, marked by a star on the touch screen map. You have to find a way to get there. The name gives a hint, but is only part of what you have to do. You actually have to blast to one of the tall skinny rocks and from the top, jump off and onto the ledge. But you cant use the cannon until you talk to the Red Bob-omb, which is on one of the stone platforms in the water. Once the cannon is activated, go into it and aim towards the star on the touch screen. Aim for the top of the second closest to the rock wall. [Aim a bit above it, so you dont land too low.] You should grab onto it, climb to the top and turn around so your facing opposite of the platform with the star. You should be able to aim towards it and press [A] to jump off and land on it. You also get a free 1UP mushroom! Good luck! STAR 5 - Red Coins On the Ship Afloat Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - None This red coin mission boasts a bit more of a challenge than the previous ones. Ah well, heres the locations. Coin 1 - On top of a pillar near the start of the level, shoot to it with the cannon. Coin 2 - On the very front of the ship. Coin 3 - On the back of the ship. Coin 4 - Next to coin 3. Coin 5 - In a clam shell in the bottom of the deep water pool. Coin 6 - In a clam shell in the area near the entrance on the upper level. Coin 7 - In a clam shell in the mid level. Coin 8 - In a clam shell in the lower level. Coins 6-8 are all pretty much near eachother. It doesn't make much sense now, but when you look it will. Careful, the clams do hurt you, and it causes you to run out of air faster. I died a couple times because of this. Other than that, this level isn't too bad. The star appears on the boat. STAR 6 - Switch Star of the Bay Difficulty - * Best Character - Luigi Requirements - Nome As Luigi, go to the area where you got Star 3. Grab the Power Flower and run to the Star Switch, then run through the wire grid and grab the star. Easy! STAR 7 - Through the Jet Stream STAR 8 - 100 Coins -PART E//COOL COOL MOUNTAIN STAR 1 - Slip Slidin' Away Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - 3 Stars The ice level... As you enter, you will get a message. Enter the house via the chimmeny, and slide down the icy maze. Be careful not to fall off the edges, and stay away from the corners, they like to suck you in! If you go too fast, its harder to control, but if you go too slow then its harder to get past the corners. Watch out for the little strip at the end also, its a bit narrow. Once you get to the bottom, exit the cabin and a star will appear. Take your prize! STAR 2 - Li'l Penguin Lost Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - None Here you have to return the lost baby penguin to its mother. The baby is walking around on the ledge above the cottage you entered for star 1. Grab the penguin, and slide down to the bottom there the mother penguin is. She will give you a star for your efforts! STAR 3 - Big Penguin Race Difficulty - *** Best Character - Any Requirements - Stars 1-2 Completed This is like Star 1... except you have to beat the big penguin. You have to go faster, so theres more of a chance for you to slip off, and its hard enough to begin with. Ah well, good luck! Not much else I can say. Oh, and if hes close behind you his butt likes to get in the camera. Its annoying. Make sure you don't go out the door, or you won't get your star. [I learned the hard way!] STAR 4 - Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins STAR 5 - STAR 6 - STAR 7 - STAR 8 - Find 100 Coins! -PART F//BIG BOO'S HAUNT STAR 1 - Go On a Ghost Hunt Difficulty - ** Best Character - Mario Requirements - None This level is very strange and kind of freaky. The attacking pianos is what gets me. To earn the first star, you have to kill all the small boos inside the house. Theres 1 or 2 in most of the rooms. Kill them by running up behind them and punching them. [Which is why you need Mario for this.] Once you kill them all, "Big Boo" will appear in the big room with all the doors in it. Go behind him and punch him 3 times, and he will give up the star. STAR 2 - Ride Big Boo's Merry-Go-Round Difficulty - ** Best Character - Mario Requirements - Star 1 Completed Head to the little shed, and ride the lift to go downstairs. Enter the room where the wierd music is coming from. 5 Boos will come out of the painting. After you kill them all, Big Boo will appear. The battle is the same as before, just punch him 3 times in the back and he will give you another star. STAR 3 - Secret of the Haunted Books Difficulty - * Best Character - Mario Requirements - Stars 1-2 Completed Head to the mansion once again. Go up the large stairs that appeared after you got STAR 1. Go to the first door on the left wall. You should be in a big library. Watch out for the books that shoot out at you. Make your way down and around the corner, then go up. Three books should be sticking out on the shelf. You have to touch these books in a certian order. You can hit them by punching or jumping [hitting them with your head]. The order goes like this.. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 2 ] The bookcase will slide away, letting you through to the door on the other side. Go in the door. There is a star on the balcony. Simply jump up and grab it. STAR 4 - Seek the 8 Red Coins Difficulty - ** Best Character - Mario Requirements - Star 1 Completed Another red coin level. Exciting. Coin 1 - On the first room to the left, behind the evil piano. Coin 2 - On the second room to the left, on a bookcase. Coin 3 - Same as #2, on a different bookcase. Coin 4 - On the first room to the right, on a ledge. Coin 5 - Upstairs, in the room with all the red mesh. Coin 6 - In the room with the coffins, under the first one on the right. Coin 7 - Upstairs, in the room on the right wall. Watch out for the floor, it tips. Coin 8 - Above the main room, use Mario's floating power to get it. There is a power flower on the balcony connected to the room where you get coin #7. STAR 5 - Big Boo's Balcony Difficulty - *** Best Character - Mario Requirements - Stars 1-4 Completed Go upstairs and to the door on the very right. Look up and you will see a hidden ledge. Grab the Power Flower [as Mario] and float up to it. Go out the door and you'll notice a Luigi painting. Here is where you unlock Luigi, see PART G. Go out the door, and you will have to fight Big Boo again. This is harder though, your on a small balcony and if you fall off you have to go all the way back up. Once you punch him twice, he gets really fast and its hard not to get hit or turn around in time to punch him. Frustrating! But once you defeat him, its worth it. Once hes gone, grab the Power Flower and float to the top of the roof where the star appears. STAR 6 - Eye to Eye in the Secret Room Difficulty - * Best Character - Luigi Requirements - Stars 1-5 Completed You need Luigi for this mission, so if you havent unlocked him, then go do it. [See PART G] Go upstairs to the last room on the right. Grab the Power Flower to turn invisible, and backflip onto the secret platform where you go for STAR 5. Luigi's agility is nice, eh? Quickly run into the Boo painting in this room, and kill the Boo to get it out of the way. Run around the big eye until it dies. This is the easiest boss in history. Grab the star and your done. STAR 7 - Switch Star in the Basement STAR 8 - Collect 100 Coins -PART G//UNLOCKING LUIGI- Difficulty - *** Best Character - Mario Requirements - Stars 1-4 of Big Boo's Haunt Look at the instructions for STAR 5 of Big Boo's Haunt. Follow the directions until you see the Luigi painting. Jump into it and you will enter "Big Boo's Battle". Enter the door where the strange laughing is coming from. If you enter the wrong door you'll just go back to the Merry-Go-Round. Once in here, enter the next door the laughing is coming from. Basically follow the laughing until you get to the room with a large bridge of falling bricks and a star icon. Quickly run across and go up the lifts. Jump into the hole. You will be in a strange room with a mirror of yourself. Suddenly the reflection turns into Luigi, and Big Boo appears. BOSS BATTLE Big Boo Difficulty - *** This battle is confusing... He dissappears and appears in either side of the mirror. You have to punch him from behind, if you can find him. If you stand in one spot, he will blow blue flames at you. Sometimes he only appears in the mirrors reflection, and sometimes only in Mario's side. Either way, quickly turn around when hes near you and punch him. After 3 punches hes history. Hes fast and will chase you, so watch out. Once hes gone, you get the Luigi key and can finally unlock Luigi! -PART H//THE FIRST BOWSER FIGHT- Difficulty - ** Best Character - Mario Requirements - 8 Stars What you've been waiting for! The first bowser fight. Go to the door upstairs in the main castle room that has a big star on it. If you have 8 Stars, it should open. You'll see a painting of Peach, and a long red carpet. As you get closer, the painting turns into a painting of Bowser, and you fall into a trap door. You have entered "Bowser In The Dark World". This level is full of tricks and traps to keep you from getting to Bowser. But hes not very smart, so its easy to make it through. Its pretty straightforward. There is a red block near the beginning that gives you a Power Flower, but there isn't really a use for it. You can step on a switch but I'm not sure what it does. On the platform with the 3 Goombas there is an extra life in the box, don't forget to grab it. Watch out for the things that shock you on the way up. If you want to, you can collect the red coins, or you can just save it for later. Watch out for the blue platforms, they tip when you step on them, which you can use to your advantage to get to the next one. Or you could just go around and get the 2 1UP mushrooms. Step on the switch to make the checker board thing turn into stairs. Now your at the top. There is a star switch here that you can do later. Jump into the warp pipe... BOSS FIGHT!!! Bowser Difficulty - * Bowsers looking chubbier than ever! Hes slow, so walk in front of him. When he starts breathing in to breathe fire, run behind him and grab his tail. Swing him around [with the D-pad, or the touch screen, your choice.] and throw him into the spiky bombs on the sides. You only have to do it once. Once you do this, he will give you the key to the downstairs. Good job! -4.3//MUSHROOM CASTLE PT.2- Finally a new part of the castle. You have access to here after you fight Bowser for the first time. You now have access to some new levels. -PART A//HAZY MAZE CAVE- STAR 1 - Swimming Beast in the Cavern Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - None This level is strange and confusing, but this mission is easy. From the beginning, take the left path, watch out for the spider thing, just jump on it to kill it. There is a big gap, do a long jump to get across. Enter the door. You should be in a room where a boulders are rolling into a big hole. Run past the boulders and up the path where they are coming from. Careful not to get hit. Go into then door. In the room, step on the lift and go down. Go down the path with all the Goombas. Go into the water. You will see a beast swimming around with a Wario cap on its head. Climb onto it and get the cap. [Don't worry, its friendly.] Once your Wario, go to the island in the middle and punch the rock to get a star. STAR 2 - Elevate for 8 Red Coins Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - None To get all the red coins in the level, you have to ride the elevator and get all the coins along the way. To get there, head along the right path from the beginning of the course. Make sure you avoid the fire. Slide down the pole, and hop up the steps to the left in the corner. There is a platform with arrows. You basically have to go around breaking the blocks for most of the coins, and riding platforms. Coin 1 - Head forward a bit, then go to the right. One of the blocks has a red coin in it. Coin 2 - The next box also has a red coin. Coin 3 - Ahead and to the left a bit in the corner, theres a red coin in the open. Coin 4 - Go to where the purple pole is, climb up and ride the next platform, you don't get to control this one. Break the first block for a red coin. Coin 5 - The next coin is floating in the air on the track. Coin 6 - On a small chunk of land in the air. Jump up to get it, then go back to the platform. Coin 7 - On a ledge at the end of the track. Coin 8 - Next to Coin #7. The star appears below you. STAR 3 - Metal-Head Wario Can Move Difficulty - *** Best Character - Wario Requirements - Stars 1-2 Completed You need Wario for this. You might not have him unlocked, so get the Wario cap from the Goomba near the entrance on the right path. Head to the underground lake [where you went for STAR 1]. Grab the Power Flower and quickly run down the hill. Since your metal, you can walk on the lake floor. Follow the left wall, theres a floor switch you must step on by the next ledge. Step on it, as Metal Wario, and enter the room. Long jump across. If you have trouble long jumping across the gaps, you can play as Luigi and get the cap, and get hit by a spider and turn back into Luigi after you hit the switch, since Luigi has a much better jumping ability. STAR 4 - Navigating the Toxic Maze Difficulty - ** Best Character - Luigi/Mario Requirements - Stars 1-3 Completed As the name implies, you have to go to the toxic maze, where the wierd purple maze area is on your map. Head down the right path and through the elevator room. Take the door on the left and drop down the hole. If you use Luigi for this, you can get the Power Flower and be immune to the gas and the annoying enemy attacks. Or, you can become Mario and float over it. Either way works. Make your way to the straightaway that leads to the star. You have to float or jump up onto the ledge. Enter the door and run down, watch out for the bats. At the end, there is a lift. Jump on it and at the top the star is waiting for you. STAR 5 - A-Maze-ing Emergancy Exit Difficulty - ** Best Character - Luigi/Mario Requirements - Stars 1-4 Completed Follow the same directions as STAR 4, but go through the other path that you have to jump to, not the one you went to for STAR 4. Go up the lift, and go through the door. Jump up and grab on to the wire mesh. Climb over to the star, drop down, and get it. STAR 6 - Watch For Rolling Rocks Difficulty - * Best Character - Wario Requirements - Stars 1-5 Completed You need Wario for this mission, so grab the cap. Go to the room with the boulders rolling down into the pit. Look at your map. You'll see a star floating down the map, which is actually inside a rock. Punch the rock [Wario is the only one strong enough to do so,] and grab the star, which appears next to where the rocks fall. STAR 7 - Underground Switch Star Difficulty - ** Best Character - Luigi Requirements - None Grab the Wario cap. Go to the elevator room and find the black block in the corner. Hit it to expose the star switch. Get hit by one of the Goombas to return back to Luigi, as you will need him to get to the star in time. Step on the switch and quickly run and climb up the block stairs where the arrow platform is. Jump/flutter across the arrow platform to the platform where the star is. Break the glass ball and claim your star. STAR 8 - 100 Coins -PART B//LETHAL LAVA LAND- STAR 1 - Boil the Big Bully Difficulty - ** Best Character - Luigi Requirements - None This level can be very evil, don't fall into the lava or its certian death. Luigi might be the best for all of these levels, because he can jump far which can save you from falling into the lava plenty of times. Make your way to the star, careful of the sinking platforms, bullies, etc. The big bully is stronger than you, so a good strategy is to go towards the edge, and when he charges, jump out of the way. Run behind him and punch him into the lava. It might take a couple tries, and theres emergancy coins if you fall into the lava. Good luck. STAR 2 - Boil the Bullies Difficulty - *** Best Character - Luigi Requirements - Star 1 Completed Basically the same as the last star, but theres 4 bullies instead. Defeat the three small bullies, and then a big one will appear. Use the same strategy. You can also jump on them to shove them. Or you could just keep punching and going forward until they fall off. ^^ STAR 3 - 8-Coin Puzzle With 15 Pieces Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - None Probably the easiest red coin star ever. Head to the left, past the eye, and you'll probably see the moving puzzle ahead. On the puzzle is 8 red coins. As long as you watch the puzzle, you probably wont fall in. All the red coins are on the puzzle. This ones barely worth making a guide over! STAR 4 - Red-Hot Log Rolling Difficulty - ** Best Character - Any Requirements - None From the start, head forward and to the left a bit until you get to a platform with 2 bullies and some coins on it. There is a cage platform next it. Jump on it and it will take you across the lava. Watch out for the burning streams. Get off the platform at the end and jump on the log. Go down the edge a bit, enough for you to move but not for you to fall off. The log will start rolling. Slowly run up the log to keep it moving till you get to the other side. Run down the path and grab the star. STAR 5 - Hot-Foot-It Into the Volcano Difficulty - *** Best Character - Mario/Luigi Requirements - None You've probably passed by the volcano a couple times, but this time you have to jump into it. When fire isn't spewing out, jump into the hole in the top to enter a mini world. Once inside, go straight and make your way up. Watch out for the bullies and fire traps. Theres a wall trap on the third ledge, so don't let it fall on you. Climb up the poles, climb to the very top to get a 1UP. Be careful when jumping off, its easy to fall to the bottom. The star is waiting for you at the top. STAR 6 - Inside the Volcano Difficulty - *** Best Character - Mario/Luigi Requirements - None Back to the volcano so soon! This time, instead of going forward, turn around and hop across the crusty platforms. At the last one, theres a moving checkered platform that will take you up. After a while you will have to jump to another platform, and then to a poll, so be ready. On the second poll's platform, there is an extra life, so grab that, then climb back up. Keep climbing and jumping until you get to the highest spot. Your reward is a star. STAR 7 - Flaming Silver Stars Difficulty - * Best Character - Any Requirements - Stars 1-6 Completed For this one you have to grab the koopa shell near the entrance, next to the black block. Ride around and grab the stars in the lava. They aren't hard to miss, so just use your map. Theres a lot of 1UPs by the stars, you might want to pick those up. -[ 5. SECRETS ]- -5.1//SECRET STARS!- SECRET SLIDE Go up the staircase in the Castle, and go to the right to the door that has a star with a 1 on it. You will see a room with 5 doors. Three have letters above them, and four are locked. Go straight to the unlocked door in the middle. There are paintings of Peach on the side. Jump into the painting on the right side from where you came in. Start sliding down, once you reach the bottom you get a star in the box. Be careful not to fall off! If you do this after the first 4 Bob-omb Battlefield stars, your only 3 away from unlocking Mario, and 5 away from the Wing Cap. SUNSHINE ISLES Go back up to the room where you found the first secret star. Instead of jumping into the Peach painting, go straight ahead through the unlocked door. This is the Rec Room. You should see a painting on the left wall, jump into it and enter Sunshine Isles. Here you can collect 5 Silver Stars and get another star. Watch out for the Goombas and the evil Lakitu! Star 1 - On top of the little mountain, in the open. Star 2 - On top of a tree on one of the little islands. Star 3 - In the open on another little island. Star 4 - Hidden under the big island in a little cove. Star 5 - Held by a bird flying around, you have to jump and knock it out of the bird's hands. Once you get all 5, go get the star which is by where you came in. Theres one more secret star you can get in this area that I've found so far. Go to the room opposite of the room which the Bob-omb Battlefield is in. There should be aquariams with fish in them. SECRET AQUARIUM Go to the right and you should see a dark square high up. Do a backflip into it and collect all 8 red coins before your air runs out! They are in the four corners on the floor, and in the 4 circles by the windows. Now you have 3 more stars for the fight against Bowser! BOO'S RED COINS In the area where all the boos are floating around, and where you enter Big Boo's Haunt, many of the boos have red coins in them. Punch them and collect all 8 red coins for a secret star. TOAD STARS You can get a toad star from Toad, hes hiding in the corner next to the entrance of Hazy Maze Cave. [This Secion Under Construction] -[ 6. REC ROOM/MINI GAMES ]- Here is the info for the origional Mini Games, and the ones I've unlocked so far; ----- YOSHI'S MINI GAMES ----- Wanted! -Its easy to get lost in a crowd! Find the one who disappeared and touch him. There he is! This is kind of a... Where's Waldo type game. There is a bunch of characters and you have to touch the one that is on the poster on the wanted screen. The first levels are easy, but the next few are insane because theres a huge amount of people! You can also run out of time... if you get the right one, its +5, but if you touch the wrong one, its -10. My Personal Record; 16 Rating - *** ----- Loves me...? -Play this mini-game for advice on your love life! Pluck the petals to find out how your crush feels about you. A pointless mini game... and kind of dumb, But I have to admit the graphics are nice in the top screen. Rating - * ----- Puzzle Panel -Match the Touch Screen picture to the top screen. Touch a panel to turn over the surrounding panels. Harder levels will take more turns to solve. Basically, select a tile and hope you get the right tiles into place. My Personal Record; 3 Rating - ** ----- Boom Box -Each time you open a treasure chest, you'll hear a sound. Open 2 chests with the same sound. Win by matching all the pairs! Mario's laugh is scary after you beat a level. This is like a sound memory game. Its eh... My Personal Record; 3 Rating - ** ----- Which Wiggler? -Touch the Wiggler on the Touch Screen that matches the one on the top screen. Choose carefully, though; he has a terrible temper. This game is kinda fun. The wigglers get confusing after a while. They can turn from cute to evil when you lose! My Personal Record; 8 Rating - *** MARIO'S MINI GAMES ----- Mario's Slides
-Guide Mario down the slides to the Star. Draw lines on the Touch Screen to
 create new routhes for him. Collect 5 Stars to move up a stage.
This is one of my favorites, personally. Its puzzling and difficult in the 
later levels. A good challenge.
