<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< RAINBOW RIDE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The Rainbow Ride stage is located in the hole in the wall at the right
side of the third floor. Jump into the hole there to enter the stage.
For most of this stage, Mario will be riding a magic carpet. You will
need to avoid the many obstacles because... if you fall off, you're
dead.

#1 - CRUISER CROSSING THE RAINBOW

Hop onto the carpet and ride it to some spinning platforms. From here,
jump to the platform on Mario's right to find another carpet. Ride this
one to yet another two carpets. Jump on the carpet on Mario's left side.
Ride this one and watch out for the obstacles that might knock you off.
Eventually you will reach the ship. At the end of the ship with all the
wind is the star.

#2 - THE BIG HOUSE IN THE SKY

Take the same path as the one above (star #1) to the two carpets that
you need to chose from. This time, take the carpet on Mario's right
side. The carpet will go inside the "big house in the sky". Watch out
here for the flames (I get hurt a lot at this part). Eventually, the
carpet will bring you to the roof where the star is waiting for you.

#3 - COINS AMASSED IN A MAZE

When you reach the spinning platforms from the first carpet, take the
path directly in front of Mario. This leads to a big maze. I suggest
you keep the camera pulled back (with C-down) so that you can see more
of the maze. You need to use almost every jump you know to reach the red
coins! When this is all done, the star appears at the bottom.

#4 - SWINGIN' IN THE BREEZE

When you get to the spinning platforms, go to Mario's left this time.
Follow the path with a whole bunch of obstacles. You find see-saw
platforms, dropping platforms, and some other stuff too. Some time along
the path, you'll get to a brown path at the side. Go up this path and
get the star! Woo hoo!

#5 - TRICKY TRIANGLES

Take the same path as before. But instead of taking the path up to the
star (star #4), continue straight to the purple switch. Stepping on this
switch makes the pyramids turn upside-down so that you can step on them
and reach the star high up. The switch doesn't last for a long time at
all so you need to really move fast. If the time is about to run out and
you're still on a platform, jump off because you'll slide down if it
turns back into a pyramid. But that's just my advice...

#6 - SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

First off all, you need to activate the cannon: Go to the place with the
huge 2D maze (where you go your red coins). At the end of this place,
notice that there is a big tunnel upwards that leads to the Bob-omb
Buddy. To get up to him, do several wall jumps up the tunnel. Then you
can talk to the Bob-omb Buddy and tell him to turn on the cannon...
Where is the cannon you ask? Well, it's on the ship! Go back to the
spinning platforms and take the path to the ship. Jump into the cannon
at the end of the ship and aim yourself to shoot "over the rainbow" and
cling on to the pole. When you get there, don't jump down right away
because a chuckya is waiting for you. When he's not looking, jump down
and get the star.

#7 - 100 COINS IN RAINBOW RIDE

o The 6 blue coins at the maze...........................30
o The 8 red coins at the maze............................16

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>< CASTLE SECRET STARS >>>>>>>>>>>>>
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#1 - EIGHT COINS IN THE FIRST BOWSER STAGE

Get the eight red coins in the first Bowser stage (Bowser in the Dark
World). To get here, go up the stairs on the ground floor and enter the
left door. As you walk towards to picture at the opposite end of the
hallway, a trap door will open and you'll fall into the stage.
o Near the beginning, activate a switch and go back to the BEGINNING of
the stage to get the coin on some brown blocks.
o Activate the same switch as above. But this time, the red coin is at
the end of the fire thing.
o Along the path you'll find a lot of spinning electric things. Behind
one of them is the red coin.
o Soon you'll come to a yellow bridge which goes back and forth. On the
other side of the platform, the red coin awaits.
o This is very hard not to see as you pass through the platforms that
go around.
o Before you cross the unstable bridges, turn around and take the path
to a few goombas and the red coin.
o Right before taking the stairs to the Bowser pipe, jump on the
platforms ABOVE the unstable bridges. Long jump is needed for this.
o Also near the end of the stage, *carefully* jump to the narrow space
beside the last bridge.
The star appears beside the pipe to Bowser.

#2 - EIGHT COINS IN THE SECOND BOWSER STAGE

Get the eight red coins in the second Bowser stage (Bowser in the Fire
Sea). To get here, enter that star door in the basement and fall into
the hole (after getting one star from Dire Dire Docks).
o After crossing the sinking platforms, go up the grating and jump over
the hole to get the red coin.
o On the platform that can tilt to the left and to the right, the red
coin awaits you at the side.
o When you climb a pole and reach a fenced up colorful room, jump at
the back corner to get it.
o When you reach an elevator platform, get on and quickly get off. The
platform will leave without you and you get the red coin.
o Before crossing the place where you hang from the ceiling, go up the
steep slope and follow the path to the red coin.
o As you cross the path that moves up and down, look for a small shadow
on one of the level platforms. Wait for the path to go up and get it.
o On the platform bridge that goes up and down in the lava, the coin is
in front of the fire spurting thing.
o On the pole that goes up and down (right before Bowser's pipe). The
red coin awaits at the top.
Use the long jump to cross the gap and jump to the platform with the
star.

#3 - EIGHT COINS IN THE THIRD BOWSER STAGE

Get the eight red coins in the third Bowser stage (Bowser in the sky).
To get here, enter the star door on the third floor when you have at
least 70 stars. Go up the staircase and drop into the hole.
o Near the beginning you'll come to a big box. Push the box backwards,
climb it, and jump to the red coin.
o Beside the first piranha plant that you encounter. If you missed this
one, I suggest visiting an eye doctor.
o At the part with an unstable bridge, drop down and follow the line of
coins to a super-secret platform with the red coin.
o At the top of a steep gray slope with flames on it, you find
the red coin *very* close to the edge.
o At the part where you ride the moving platform while jumping over
some obstacles. Up on the thing is the red coin.
o On the spinning platform near the thing that spits out fireballs.
There's the red coin.
o At the part where there are two orange bridges that go left and
right, the red coin is at the top of the pole.
o When you get to Bowser's pipe, turn around and look at the ledge.
Under there is the final red coin.
The star appears beside Bowser's pipe.

#4 - TOAD IN THE BASEMENT

In the basement, beside the entrance to the Hazy Maze Cave, is Toad.
He's waiting for nothing in particular and he just happens to have a
star with him. How convenient! Talk to him and he'll hand over a star.
It seems almost to good to be true...

#5 - TOAD ON THE SECOND FLOOR

Guess what? On the second floor, there's ANOTHER Toad who just HAPPENS
to have an extra star with him! How does that bastard do it?! Well, talk
to him and he'll give you the star he's been saving for you.

#6 - TOAD ON THE THIRD FLOOR

Once again, Toad is waiting on the third floor on the right side of the
Tick Tock Clock. It's actually quite scary how he appears in all these
different part of the castle at once, AND always seems to have a star
with him. Anyway, talk to him as usual and humbly accept the star.

#7 - THE WING CAP STAGE

After getting 10 stars, a light will shine down (from the ceiling) onto
the sun symbol at the ground floor of the castle. Stand on the sun and
look up by using the C-up button. Then you will be transported to the
Wing Cap stage. The red coins are located in pairs at the sides of the
central tower. Fly to each one to make the star appear. But before
getting the star, make sure you hit the big red switch. THEN get the
star.

#8 - THE INVISIBLE CAP STAGE

In the basement of the castle, you should see a plain door with no star
symbol on it. Enter that room and butt-stomp (A + Z) on each of the
little pillars. This will cause the water to drain out of the room.
Enter the door at the bottom. Now look around for a hole and drop down
into it to transport to the invisible cap stage. You will find the first
four red coins on the steep slope at the beginning, the other coins you
will find along the way. Hit the switch at the end and get the cap from
the blue "!" block. Now you're invisible! Go through the gates to get
the FINAL red coin. The star appears nearby.

#9 - THE METAL CAP STAGE

In the Hazy Maze Cave, take the path to the sea monster. Ride her to the
door on a high ledge. Go through the door, follow the path, and jump
into the pool of "liquid metal". Now you're in the metal cap stage. If
you get carried away by the current, you'll be brought to the lake
outside of the castle. You'll find four of the red coins underwater, the
rest can easily be found on the land. The star will appear underwater.

#10 - CATCH THE BASEMENT BUNNY

Basement bunny? Actually, I heard from Nintendo Power that his name is
MIPS, named after some technical thing in the N64. He appears hopping
around the basement when you have 30 stars. Catch him by doing a slide
attack (A + B) on him. This little sonofabitch takes quite a while to
beat if you're as bad as me in catching him...

#11 - CATCH THE BASEMENT BUNNY AGAIN

Chapter II: Basement Bunny Strikes Back. Yeah, he's back and equally as
annoying as before. I don't think he gains any new super powers so you
can catch him just like you did the last time.

#12 - THE PRINCESS' SECRET SLIDE

To get to the Princess' Secret Slide, go up the stairs of the ground
floor and enter the door on the left. Here you find three picture of the
Princess. Enter the one at the right. Inside you find a super happy
slide. Go down the slide without falling to your doom and you'll reach a
yellow "!" box. Open it for the star.

#13 - THE PRINCESS' SECRET SLIDE AGAIN

Up, you're back in the Princess' Secret Slide. Except this time, you'll
need to finish with a time of 21'00 or less. Just keep the controls
stick turned forwards all the time (except for turns) and you'll do it
fine. And try to take the inner track... if you know what I mean by
that. Star appears at the end.

#14 - EIGHT RED COINS IN THE SECRET AQUARIUM

The secret aquarium is located in one of the holes in the wall of the
room where Jolly Roger Bay is. The secret aquarium is ALL water and
there's no place where you can gasp for air. Luckily, there's a
sufficient supply of coins to keep you alive. Just collect the eight red
coins to make the star appear in the middle of the floor. Four red coins
are near the ground, the other floor are in the rings of yellow coins at
the middle part. Easy enough.

#15 - EIGHT RED COINS IN THE SKY

To get to the sky course, jump into the hole in the left wall of the
third floor and fall into the hole you find there. Welcome to the sky!
This is a stage where you collect the eight red coins by flying from
platform to platform by using the wing cap. There's really no way I can
give directions to where the eight red coins really are since there's no
actual landmarks in this place. I'm sure you can manage on your own...
And try not to fall down since you'll reappear outside of the castle.
