-[ 1. 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...

-[ 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.

There he is!
This is kind of a... Where's Waldo type game. There is a bunch of

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

right one,
its +5, but if you touch the wrong one, its -10.
