Super Mario 64 DS Hints XI (DS)

Super Mario 64 DS is a game made just for the Nintendo DS portable system, created by Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development division and published by the Japanese company 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 main traits of the classic title, in order to attract those that want to experience it a second time or who didn't get a chance to do so when it first came out, but does upgrade things like graphics or gameplay, by taking advantage of the more powerful DS handheld, while adding extra playable characters, besides Mario himself, including Yoshi or Wario, who have special powers that come in handy in certain areas of the game's world.

HINTS

Shifting Sand Land

Reaching Shifting Sand Land

To get to Shifting Sand Land you must enter through a wall hidden down near the Lethal Lava Land level.

Easy Star
For the star "Stand tall the four pyramids," you do not need a Wing Cap. With any character, you can just walk up pillars with ease without a Wing Cap (except for the one surrounded by quicksand).

Green spotted gateway boxes
When you see the small box, eat it. Note: There are other places to eat the small boxes.

Snowman's Land

Getting to Snowman's Land

Go in the mirror room and find the snowman painting in the mirror. You will see that it is only in the reflection. Jump in the wall that the snowman painting should be on and you will be in Snowman's Land.
