The Secret Castle Stars hints and tips for Super Mario 64

The Secret Castle Stars

Here are all of the secret castle stars in and around the castle.

First of all, in each level there are only six stars to find right? WRONG!!!

When you get 100 coins in each level, a star will instantly appear above...! Mario's head.

Also, on each of the levels where you unlock the caps,and on all of the bowser levels, there is 8 red coins. collecting all of them will make a star appear near the switch.

aside from these stars, there are also some specific places to find stars:

1. In the main room that you first enter when you start the game, up the stairs and to the right there is a door. If you go through the door, you will be in a room with 3 identical stain glass windows, like in churches. You can jump through the window on the right. Inside there is a slide. When you get to the bottom, in a box there is a star.

2. If you go down the slide that I just metioned in less than 21 seconds, you'll get another star.

3. If you go into the room with the picture of the sunken ship, on the wall to the right there is a small black square. You can double-jump into the square and enter the secret aquarium. Collect the 8 red coins to get a secret star.

4. down in the basement, there is a rabbit that is very small and very fast. If you grab him with the B button, he will give you a star.

5. Later on, after you've gained some more stars, the rabbit will return and give you yet another star if you can catch him again.

6. In the basement, In the room where you enter the underground level, one of the princess's servants is standing in a corner of the room all by himself. If you talk to him, he will give you a star.

7. Up on the second floor, in the main hall there are 2 servants of the princess. Just look around for them. One of them will give you a star when you talk to him.
