Super Mario 64 DS Hints VIII (DS)

Super Mario 64 DS is a video game released just for the Nintendo DS, created by the Entertainment Analysis and Development division of the Japanese company, and published by Nintendo itself on November 21, 2004, in North America, December 2, that same year, in Japan, on February 24, 2005, in Australia, and on March 11, 2005, in Europe, as a remake of the original Super Mario 64 that appeared back in the 1990s for the Nintendo 64 home console.

This remastered DS version of the game doesn't try to alter the core principles of the classic title, in order to lure in those that want to experience it once more, but does upgrade things like graphics or gameplay, by taking advantage of the more powerful DS handheld, while adding extra playable characters, including Yoshi or Wario, who have special powers that come in handy in certain areas of the game's world.

HINTS

Peach's Castle

Castle secrets
-Enter the room where you can change into different characters (Before the room with the Toad and pastel colors). Jump into the glass window of Peach next to Yoshi's door (on the right). You will enter a Castle Secret. You can get three Stars here. Make it to the bottom of the slide to get the first. Make it to the end of the slide in less than twenty seconds for the second. Get every coin in the level (including blue ones) for the third.

-Enter the castle, run up the stairs, and run to the right. You will see a brown door with a star symbol and the number "1" on it. Enter the room if you have one star. When you get into the room, look to your right. You will notice a big window made of a stained glass Princess Peach. Jump into the window. It will take you to a track course. Do the track course to receive a star, but before starting the course look to the right.

You will notice a gray block on the floor with a blue coin in it. Do a Ground Pound and press A + R. Then, enter the course and begin. You will then notice blue and gold coins on the track. Collect as many coins as possible and you will see an extra life towards the middle of the course. When you cross the finish line, stay where you are. You will then see a yellow box floating in the air with an exclamation point on it.

The star is located in that box. Before collecting the star, walk straight towards the gray wall and jump into the wall. An extra life will appear. Jump into the wall as soon as possible or you will not be able to receive the extra life. Then, return to the floating yellow box, jump, and get the star.
