Wow! You're smack in the
middle of the battlefield.
You'll find the Power
Stars that Bowser stole
inside the painting
worlds.
First, talk to the
Bob-omb Buddy. (Press (B)
to talk.) He'll certainly
help you out, and so will
his friends in other
areas.
To read signs, stop, face
them and press (B). Press (A)
or (B) to scroll ahead. You
can talk to some other
characters by facing them
and pressing (B).

---

Watch out! If you wander
around here, you're liable
to be splattered by a
water bomb!
Those enemy Bob-ombs love
to fight, and they're
always finding ways to
attack.
This meadow has become
a battlefield ever since
the Big Bob-omb got his
paws on the Power Star.
Can you recover the Star
for us? Cross the bridge
and go left up the path
to find the Big Bob-omb.
Please come back to see
me after you've retrieved
the Power Star!

---

Hey, you! It's dangerous
ahead, so listen up! Take
my advice.

Cross the two
bridges ahead, then
watch for falling
water bombs.
The Big Bob-omb at the
top of the mountain is
very powerful--don't let
him grab you!
We're Bob-omb Buddies,
and we're on your side.
You can talk to us
whenever you'd like to!

---

Thank you, Mario! The Big
Bob-omb is nothing but a
big dud now! But the
battle for the castle has
just begun.
Other enemies are holding
the other Power Stars. If
you recover more Stars,
you can open new doors
that lead to new worlds!
My Bob-omb Buddies are
waiting for you. Be sure
to talk to them--they'll
set up cannons for you.

---

We're peace-loving
Bob-ombs, so we don't use
cannons.
But if you'd like
to blast off, we don't
mind. Help yourself.
We'll prepare all of the
cannons in this course for
you to use. Bon Voyage!

---

Hey, Mario! Is it true
that you beat the Big
Bob-omb? Cool!
You must be strong. And
pretty fast. So, how fast
are you, anyway?
Fast enough to beat me...
Koopa the Quick? I don't
think so. Just try me.
How about a race to the
mountaintop, where the
Big Bob-omb was?
Whaddya say? When I say
”Go,“ let the race begin!

Ready....

  Go!    Don't Go

---

Hey!!! Don't try to cheat!
You've gotta run
the whole course.
Later. Look me up when
you want to race for
real.

---

Hufff...fff...pufff...
Whoa! You...really...are...
fast! A human blur!
Here you go--you've won
it, fair and square!

---

BEWARE OF CHAIN CHOMP
Extreme Danger!
Get close and press (C)(↑)
for a better look.
Scary, huh?
See the Red Coin on top
of the stake?

When you collect eight of
them, a Power Star will
appear in the meadow
across the bridge.

---

Long time, no see! Wow,
have you gotten fast!
Have you been training
on the sly, or is it the
power of the Stars?
I've been feeling down
about losing the last
race. This is my home
course--how about a
rematch?
The goal is in
Windswept Valley.
Ready?

  Go     Don't Go

---

You've stepped on the
Wing Cap Switch. Wearing
the Wing Cap, you can
soar through the sky.
Now Wing Caps will pop
out of all the red blocks
you find.

Would you like to Save?

  Yes    No

---

You've just stepped on
the Metal Cap Switch!
The Metal Cap makes
Mario invincible.
Now Metal Caps will
pop out of all of the
green blocks you find.

Would you like to Save?

  Yes    No

---

You've just stepped on
the Vanish Cap Switch.
The Vanish Cap makes
Mario disappear.
Now Vanish Caps will pop
from all of the blue
blocks you find.

Would you like to Save?

  Yes    No

---

You've collected 100
coins! Mario gains more
power from the castle.
Do you want to Save?
  Yes    No

Wow! Another Power Star!
Mario gains more courage
from the power of the
castle.
Do you want to Save?

  You Bet  Not Now

Hop on the shiny shell and
ride wherever you want to
go! Shred those enemies!

---

I'm the Big Bob-omb, lord
of all blasting matter,
king of ka-booms the
world over!
How dare you scale my
mountain? By what right
do you set foot on my
imperial mountaintop?
You may have eluded my
guards, but you'll never
escape my grasp...

...and you'll never take
away my Power Star. I
hereby challenge you,
Mario!
If you want the Star I
hold, you must prove
yourself in battle.

Can you pick me up from
the back and hurl me to
this royal turf? I think
that you cannot!

---

I'm sleeping because...
...I'm sleepy. I don't
like being disturbed.
Please walk quietly.

---

Shhh! Please walk
quietly in the hallway!

---

Dear Mario:
Please come to the
castle. I've baked
a cake for you.
Yours truly--
Princess Toadstool

---

Welcome.
No one's home!
Now get lost
and don't come back!
Gwa ha ha!

---

You need a key to open
this door.

---

This key doesn't fit!
Maybe it's for the
basement...

---

You need Star power to
open this door. Recover a
Power Star from an enemy
inside one of the castle's
paintings.

---

It takes the power of
3 Stars to open this
door. You need [stars needed] more
Stars.

---

It takes the power of
8 Stars to open this
door. You need [stars needed] more
Stars.

---

It takes the power of
30 Stars to open this
door. You need [stars needed] more

It takes the power of
50 Stars to open this
door. You need [stars needed] more

leads to the ”endless“
stairs, you need 70
Stars.
Bwa ha ha!

Hello! The Lakitu Bros.,
cutting in with a live
update on Mario's
progress. He's about to
learn a technique for
sneaking up on enemies.
The trick is this: He has
to walk very slowly in
order to walk quietly.



And wrapping up filming
techniques reported on
earlier, you can take a
look around using (C)(→) and
(C)(←). Press (C)(↓) to view the
action from a distance.
When you can't move the
camera any farther, the
buzzer will sound. This is
the Lakitu Bros.,
signing off.

---

No way! You beat me...
again!! And I just spent
my entire savings on
these new Koopa
Mach 1 Sprint shoes!
Here, I guess I have to
hand over this Star to
the winner of the race.
Congrats, Mario!

---

If you get the Wing Cap,
you can fly! Put the cap
on, then do a Triple
Jump--jump three times
in a row--to take off.
You can fly even higher
if you blast out of a
cannon wearing the
Wing Cap!

Use the (C) Buttons to look
around while flying, and
press (Z) to land.

---

Ciao! You've reached
Princess Toadstool's
castle via a warp pipe.
Using the controller is a
piece of cake. Press (A) to
jump and (B) to attack.
Press (B) to read signs,
too. Use the Control Stick
in the center of the
controller to move Mario
around. Now, head for
the castle.

---

Good afternoon. The
Lakitu Bros., here,
reporting live from just
outside the Princess's
castle.

Mario has just arrived
on the scene, and we'll
be filming the action live
as he enters the castle
and pursues the missing
Power Stars.
As seasoned cameramen,
we'll be shooting from the
recommended angle, but
you can change the
camera angle by pressing
the (C) Buttons.
If we can't adjust the
view any further, we'll
buzz. To take a look at
the surroundings, stop
and press (C)(↑).

Press (A) to resume play.
Switch camera modes with
the (R) Button. Signs along
the way will review these
instructions.

For now, reporting live,
this has been the
Lakitu Bros.

---

There are four camera, or
”(C),“ Buttons. Press (C)(↑)
to look around using the
Control Stick.

You'll usually see Mario
through Lakitu's camera.
It is the camera
recommended for normal
play.
You can change angles by
pressing (C)(→). If you press
(R), the view switches to
Mario's camera, which
is directly behind him.
Press (R) again to return
to Lakitu's camera. Press

switch the mode to ”fix“
the camera in place while
holding (R). Give it a try!

---

I win! You lose!
Ha ha ha ha!
You're no slouch, but I'm
a better sledder!
Better luck next time!

---

Reacting to the Star
power, the door slowly
opens.

---

No visitors allowed,
by decree of
the Big Bob-omb

I shall never surrender my
Stars, for they hold the
power of the castle in
their glow.
They were a gift from
Bowser, the Koopa King
himself, and they lie well
hidden within my realm.
Not a whisper of their
whereabouts shall leave
my lips. Oh, all right,
perhaps one hint:
Heed the Star names at
the beginning of the
course.
  --The Big Bob-omb

---

Warning!
Cold, Cold Crevasse
Below!

---

I win! You lose!
Ha ha ha!

That's what you get for
messin' with Koopa the
Quick.
Better luck next time!

---

Caution! Narrow Bridge!
Cross slowly!


You can jump to the edge
of the cliff and hang on,
and you can climb off the
edge if you move slowly.
When you want to let go,
either press (Z) or press
the Control Stick in the
direction of Mario's back.
To climb up, press Up on
the Control Stick. To
scurry up quickly, press
the (A) Button.

---

If you jump and hold the
(A) Button, you can hang on
to some objects overhead.
It's the same as grabbing
a flying bird!

---

Whooo's there? Whooo
woke me up? It's still
daylight--I should be
sleeping!

Hey, as long as I'm
awake, why not take a
short flight with me?
Press and hold (A) to grab
on. Release (A) to let go.
I'll take you wherever
you want to go, as long
as my wings hold out.
Watch my shadow, and
grab on.

---

Whew! I'm just about
flapped out. You should
lay off the pasta, Mario!
That's it for now. Press
(A) to let go. Okay,
bye byyyyyyeeee!

---

You have to master three
important jumping
techniques.
First try the Triple Jump.

Run fast, then jump three
times, one, two, three.
If you time the jumps
right, you'll hop, skip,
then jump really high.
Next, go for distance
with the Long Jump. Run,
press (Z) to crouch then (A)
to jump really far.

To do the Wall Kick, press
(A) to jump at a wall, then
jump again when you hit
the wall.

Got that? Triple Jump,
Long Jump, Wall Kick.
Practice, practice,
practice. You don't stand
a chance without them.

---

Hi! I'll prepare the
cannon for you!

---

Snow Mountain Summit
Watch for slippery
conditions! Please enter
the cottage first.

---

Remember that tricky Wall
Kick jump? It's a
technique you'll have to
master in order to reach
high places.
Use it to jump from wall
to wall. Press the
Control Stick in the
direction you want to
bounce to gain momentum.
Practice makes perfect!

---

Hold (Z) to crouch and
slide down a slope.
Or press (Z) while in the
air to Pound the Ground!
If you stop, crouch, then
jump, you'll do a
Backward Somersault!
Got that?
There's more. Crouch and
then jump to do a
Long Jump! Or crouch and
walk to...never mind.

---

Climbing's easy! When you
jump at trees, poles or
pillars, you'll grab them
automatically. Press (A) to
jump off backward.

To rotate around the
object, press Right or
Left on the Control Stick.
When you reach the top,
press Up to do a
handstand!
Jump off from the
handstand for a high,
stylin' dismount.

---

Stop and press (Z) to
crouch, then press (A)
to do a high, Backward
Somersault!

To perform a Side
Somersault, run, do a
sharp U-turn and jump.
You can catch lots of
air with both jumps.

---

Sometimes, if you pass
through a coin ring or
find a secret point in a
course, a red number will
appear.
If you trigger five red
numbers, a secret Star
will show up.

---

Welcome to the snow
slide! Hop on! To speed
up, press forward on the
Control Stick. To slow
down, pull back.

---

Hey-ey, Mario, buddy,
howzit goin'? Step right
up. You look like a fast
sleddin' kind of guy.
I know speed when I see
it, yes siree--I'm the
world champion sledder,
you know. Whaddya say?
How about a race?
Ready...

  Go     Don't Go

---

You brrrr-oke my record!
Unbelievable! I knew
that you were the coolest.
Now you've proven
that you're also the
fastest!
I can't award you a gold
medal, but here, take this
Star instead. You've
earned it!

---

Egad! My baby!! Have you
seen my baby??? She's
the most precious baby in
the whole wide world.
(They say she has my
beak...) I just can't
remember where I left
her.
Let's see...I stopped
for herring and ice cubes,
then I...oohh! I just
don't know!

---

You found my precious,
precious baby! Where
have you been? How can
I ever thank you, Mario?
Oh, I do have this...
...Star. Here, take it
with my eternal
gratitude.

---

That's not my baby! She
looks nothing like me!
Her parents must be
worried sick!

---

ATTENTION!
Read Before Diving In!


If you stay under the
water for too long, you'll
run out of oxygen.

Return to the surface for
air or find an air bubble
or coins to breathe while
underwater.
Press (A) to swim. Hold (A)
to swim slow and steady.
Tap (A) with smooth timing
to gain speed.
Press Up on the
Control Stick and press (A)
to dive.

Press Down on the Control
Stick and press (A) to
return to the surface.

Hold Down and press (A)
while on the surface near
the edge of the water to
jump out.

---

BRRR! Frostbite Danger!
Do not swim here.
I'm serious.
 --The Penguin

---

Hidden inside the green
block is the amazing
Metal Cap.
Wearing it, you won't
catch fire or be hurt
by enemy attacks.
You don't even have to
breathe while wearing it.

The only problem:
Its too heavy to swim
with.

---

The Vanish Cap is inside
the blue block. Mr. I.
will be surprised, since
you'll be invisible when
you wear it!
Even the Big Boo will be
fooled--and you can walk
through secret walls, too.

---

When you put on the Wing
Cap that comes from a
red block, do the Triple
Jump to soar high into
the sky.
Use the Control Stick to
guide Mario. Pull back to
to fly up, press forward
to nose down, and press (Z)
to land.

---

Swimming Lessons!
Tap (A) to do the breast
stroke. If you time the
taps right, you'll swim
fast.

Press and hold (A) to do a
slow, steady flutter kick.
Press Up on the Control
Stick to dive, and pull
back on the stick to head
for the surface.
To jump out of the water,
hold Down on the Control
Stick, then press (A).
Easy as pie, right?


But remember:
Mario can't breathe under
the water! Return to the
surface for air when the
Power Meter runs low.

And one last thing: You
can't open doors that
are underwater.

---

Mario, it's Peach!
Please be careful! Bowser
is so wicked! He will try
to burn you with his
horrible flame breath.
Run around behind and
grab him by the tail with
the (B) Button. Once you
grab hold, swing him
around in great circles.
Rotate the Control Stick
to go faster and faster.
The faster you swing him,
the farther he'll fly.

Use the (C) Buttons to look
around, Mario. You have
to throw Bowser into one
of the bombs in the four
corners.
Aim well, then press (B)
again to launch Bowser.
Good luck, Mario! Our
fate is in your hands.

---

Tough luck, Mario!
Princess Toadstool isn't
here...Gwa ha ha!! Go
ahead--just try to grab
me by the tail!
You'll never be able to
swing ME around! A wimp
like you won't throw me
out of here! Never! Ha!

---

It's Lethal Lava Land!
If you catch fire or fall
into a pool of flames,
you'll be hopping mad, but
don't lose your cool.
You can still control
Mario--just try to keep
calm!

---

Sometimes you'll bump into
invisible walls at the
edges of the painting
worlds. If you hit a wall
while flying, you'll bounce
back.

---

You can return to the
castle's main hall at any
time from the painting
worlds where the enemies
live.
Just stop, stand still,
press Start to pause the
game, then select
”Exit Course.“

You don't have to collect
all Power Stars in one
course before going on to
the next.

Return later, when you're
more experienced, to pick
up difficult ones.


Whenever you find a Star,
a hint for finding the
next one will appear on
the course's start screen.

You can, however, collect
any of the remaining
Stars next. You don't
have to recover the one
described by the hint.

---

Danger Ahead!
Beware of the strange
cloud! Don't inhale!
If you feel faint, run for
higher ground and fresh
air!
Circle: Shelter
Arrow: Entrance-Exit

---

High winds ahead!
Pull your Cap down tight.
If it blows off, you'll
have to find it on this
mountain.

---

Aarrgh! Ahoy, matey. I
have sunken treasure,
here, I do.

But to pluck the plunder,
you must open the
Treasure Chests in the
right order.
What order is that,
ye say?


I'll never tell!

  --The Cap'n

---

You can grab on to the
edge of a cliff or ledge
with your fingertips and
hang down from it.

To drop from the edge,
either press the Control
Stick in the direction of
Mario's back or press the
(Z) Button.
To get up onto the ledge,
either press Up on the
Control Stick or press (A)
as soon as you grab the
ledge to climb up quickly.

---

Mario!! My castle is in
great peril. I know that
Bowser is the cause...and
I know that only you can
stop him!
The doors in the castle
that have been sealed by
Bowser can be opened only
with Star Power.

But there are secret
paths in the castle,
paths that Bowser hasn't
found.

One of those paths is in
this room, and it holds
one of the castle's Secret
Stars!

Find that Secret Star,
Mario! It will help you
on your quest. Please,
Mario, you have to
help us!
Retrieve all of the
Power Stars in the castle
and free us from this
awful prison!
Please!

---

Thanks to the power of
the Stars, life is
returning to the castle.
Please, Mario, you have
to give Bowser the boot!

Here, let me tell you a
little something about the
castle. In the room with
the mirrors, look carefully
for anything that's not
reflected in the mirror.
And when you go to the
water town, you can flood
it with a high jump into
the painting. Oh, by the
way, look what I found!

---

It is decreed that one
shall pound the pillars.

---

Break open the Blue Coin
Block by Pounding the
Ground with the (Z) Button.
One Blue Coin is worth
five Yellow Coins.
But you have to hurry!
The coins will disappear
if you're not quick to
collect them! Too bad.

---

Owwwuu! Let me go!
Uukee-kee! I was only
teasing! Can't you take
a joke?
I'll tell you what, let's
trade. If you let me go,
I'll give you something
really good.
So, how about it?

  Free him  Hold on

---

Eeeh hee hee hee!

---

The mystery is of Wet
or Dry.
And where does the
solution lie?
The city welcomes visitors
with the depth they bring
as they enter.

---

Hold on to your hat! If
you lose it, you'll be
injured easily.

If you do lose your Cap,
you'll have to find it in
the course where you
lost it.
Oh, boy, it's not looking
good for Peach. She's
still trapped somewhere
inside the walls.
Please, Mario, you have
to help her! Did you know
that there are enemy
worlds inside the walls?
Yup. It's true. Bowser's
troops are there, too.
Oh, here, take this. I've
been keeping it for you.

---

There's something strange
about that clock. As you
jump inside, watch the
position of the big hand.
Oh, look what I found!
Here, Mario, catch!

---

Yeeoww! Unhand me,
brute! I'm late, so late,
I must make haste!
This shiny thing? Mine!
It's mine. Finders,
keepers, losers...
Late, late, late...
Ouch! Take it then! A
gift from Bowser, it was.
Now let me be! I have a
date! I cannot be late
for tea!

---

You don't stand a ghost
of a chance in this house.
If you walk out of here,
you deserve...
...a Ghoul Medal...

---

Running around in circles
makes some bad guys roll
their eyes.

---

Santa Claus isn't the only
one who can go down a
chimney! Come on in!
 --Cabin Proprietor

---

Work Elevator
For those who get off
here: Grab the pole to the
left and slide carefully
down.

---

Both ways fraught with
danger! Watch your feet!
Those who can't do the
Long Jump, tsk, tsk. Make
your way to the right.
Right: Work Elevator
    Cloudy Maze
Left: Black Hole
   Underground Lake

Red Circle: Elevator 2
     Underground Lake
Arrow: You are here

---

Bwa ha ha ha!
You've stepped right into
my trap, just as I knew
you would! I warn you,
”Friend,“ watch your
step!

---

Danger!
Strong Gusts!
But the wind makes a
comfy ride.

---

Pestering me again, are
you, Mario? Can't you see
that I'm having a merry
little time, making
mischief with my minions?
Now, return those Stars!
My troops in the walls
need them! Bwa ha ha!

---

Mario! You again! Well
that's just fine--I've
been looking for something
to fry with my fire
breath!
Your Star Power is
useless against me!
Your friends are all
trapped within the
walls...
And you'll never see the
Princess again!
Bwa ha ha ha!

---

Get a good run up the
slope! Do you remember
the Long Jump? Run, press
(Z), then jump!

---

To read a sign, stand in
front of it and press (B),
like you did just now.

When you want to talk to
a Koopa Troopa or other
animal, stand right in
front of it.
Please recover the Stars
that were stolen by
Bowser in this course.

---

The path is narrow here.
Easy does it! No one is
allowed on top of the
mountain!
And if you know what's
good for you, you won't
wake anyone who's
sleeping!
Move slowly,
tread lightly.

---

Don't be a pushover!
If anyone tries to shove
you around, push back!
It's one-on-one, with a
fiery finish for the loser!

---

Come on in here...
...heh, heh, heh...

---

Eh he he...
You're mine, now, hee hee!
I'll pass right through
this wall. Can you do
that? Heh, heh, heh!

---

Ukkiki...Wakkiki...kee kee!
Ha! I snagged it!
It's mine! Heeheeheeee!

---

Ackk! Let...go...
You're...choking...me...
Cough...I've been framed!
This Cap? Oh, all right,
take it. It's a cool Cap,
but I'll give it back.
I think it looks better on
me than it does on you,
though! Eeeee! Kee keee!

---

Pssst! The Boos are super
shy. If you look them
in the eyes, they fade
away, but if you turn
your back, they reappear.
It's no use trying to hit
them when they're fading
away. Instead, sneak up
behind them and punch.

---

Upon four towers
one must alight...
Then at the peak
shall shine the light...

---

The shadowy star in front
of you is a ”Star
Marker.“ When you collect
all 8 Red Coins, the Star
will appear here.

---

Ready for blastoff! Come
on, hop into the cannon!

You can reach the Star on
the floating island by
using the four cannons.
Use the Control Stick to
aim, then press (A) to fire.

If you're handy, you can
grab on to trees or poles
to land.

---

Ready for blastoff! Come
on, hop into the cannon!

---

Ghosts...
...don't...
...DIE!
Heh, heh, heh!
Can you get out of here...
...alive?

---

Boooooo-m! Here comes
the master of mischief,
the tower of terror,
the Big Boo!
Ka ha ha ha...

---

Ooooo Nooooo!
Talk about out-of-body
experiences--my body
has melted away!
Have you run in to any
headhunters lately??
I could sure use a new
body!
Brrr! My face might
freeze like this!

---

I need a good head on my
shoulders. Do you know of
anybody in need of a good
body? Please! I'll follow
you if you do!

---

Perfect! What a great
new body! Here--this is a
present for you. It's sure
to warm you up.

---

Collect as many coins as
possible! They'll refill
your Power Meter.

You can check to see how
many coins you've
collected in each of the
15 enemy worlds.
You can also recover
power by touching the
Spinning Heart.

The faster you run
through the heart, the
more power you'll recover.

There are special Caps in
the red, green and blue
blocks. Step on the
switches in the hidden
courses to activate the
Cap Blocks.

---

It makes me so mad! We
build your houses, your
castles. We pave your
roads, and still you
walk all over us.
Do you ever say thank
you? No! Well, you're not
going to wipe your feet
on me! I think I'll crush
you just for fun!
Do you have a problem
with that? Just try to
pound me, wimp! Ha!

---

No! Crushed again!
I'm just a stepping stone,
after all. I won't gravel,
er, grovel. Here, you win.
Take this with you!

---

Whaaa....Whaaat?
Can it be that a
pipsqueak like you has
defused the Bob-omb
king????
You might be fast enough
to ground me, but you'll
have to pick up the pace
if you want to take King
Bowser by the tail.
Methinks my troops could
learn a lesson from you!
Here is your Star, as I
promised, Mario.

If you want to see me
again, select this Star
from the menu. For now,
farewell.

---

Who...walk...here?
Who...break...seal?
Wake..ancient..ones?
We no like light...
Rrrrummbbble...
We no like...intruders!
Now battle...
...hand...
...to...
...hand!

---

Grrrrumbbble!
What...happen?
We...crushed like pebble.
You so strong!
You rule ancient pyramid!
For today...
Now, take Star of Power.
We...sleep...darkness.

---

Grrr! I was a bit
careless. This is not as I
had planned...but I still
hold the power of the
Stars, and I still have
Peach.
Bwa ha ha! You'll get no
more Stars from me! I'm
not finished with you yet,
but I'll let you go for
now. You'll pay for this...
later!

---

Ooowaah! Can it be that
I've lost??? The power of
the Stars has failed me...
this time.
Consider this a draw.
Next time, I'll be in
perfect condition.

Now, if you want to see
your precious Princess,
come to the top of the
tower.
I'll be waiting!
Gwa ha ha ha!

---

Nooo! It can't be!
You've really beaten me,
Mario?!! I gave those
troops power, but now
it's fading away!
Arrgghh! I can see peace
returning to the world! I
can't stand it! Hmmm...
It's not over yet...

C'mon troops! Let's watch
the ending together!
Bwa ha ha!

---

You must fight with
honor! It is against the
royal rules to throw the
king out of the ring!

---

Welcome to the Vanish
Cap Switch Course! All of
the blue blocks you find
will become solid once you
step on the Cap Switch.
You'll disappear when you
put on the Vanish Cap, so
you'll be able to elude
enemies and walk through
many things. Try it out!

---

Welcome to the Metal Cap
Switch Course! Once you
step on the Cap Switch,
the green blocks will
become solid.
When you turn your body
into metal with the Metal
Cap, you can walk
underwater! Try it!

---

Welcome to the Wing Cap
Course! Step on the red
switch at the top of the
tower, in the center of
the rainbow ring.
When you trigger the
switch, all of the red
blocks you find will
become solid.

Try out the Wing Cap! Do
the Triple Jump to take
off and press (Z) to land.


Pull back on the Control
Stick to go up and push
forward to nose down,
just as you would when
flying an airplane.

---

Whoa, Mario, pal, you
aren't trying to cheat,
are you? Shortcuts aren't
allowed.
Now, I know that you
know better. You're
disqualified! Next time,
play fair!

---

Am I glad to see you! The
Princess...and I...and,
well, everybody...we're all
trapped inside the castle
walls.

Bowser has stolen the
castle's Stars, and he's
using their power to
create his own world in
the paintings and walls.

Please recover the Power
Stars! As you find them,
you can use their power
to open the doors that
Bowser has sealed.

There are four rooms on
the first floor. Start in
the one with the painting
of Bob-omb inside. It's
the only room that Bowser
hasn't sealed.
When you collect eight
Power Stars, you'll be
able to open the door
with the big star. The
Princess must be inside!

---

The names of the Stars
are also hints for
finding them. They are
displayed at the beginning
of each course.
You can collect the Stars
in any order. You won't
find some Stars, enemies
or items unless you select
a specific Star.
After you collect some
Stars, you can try
another course.
We're all waiting for
your help!

---

It was Bowser who stole
the Stars. I saw him with
my own eyes!


He's hidden six Stars in
each course, but you
won't find all of them in
some courses until you
press the Cap Switches.
The Stars you've found
will show on each course's
starting screen.


If you want to see some
of the enemies you've
already defeated, select
the Stars you recovered
from them.

---

Wow! You've already
recovered that many
Stars? Way to go, Mario!
I'll bet you'll have us out
of here in no time!

Be careful, though.
Bowser and his band
wrote the book on ”bad.“
Take my advice: When you
need to recover from
injuries, collect coins.
Yellow Coins refill one
piece of the Power Meter,
Red Coins refill two
pieces, and Blue Coins
refill five.

To make Blue Coins
appear, pound on Blue
Coin Blocks.



Also, if you fall from
high places, you'll
minimize damage if you
Pound the Ground as you
land.

---

Thanks, Mario! The castle
is recovering its energy
as you retrieve Power
Stars, and you've chased
Bowser right out of here,
on to some area ahead.
Oh, by the by, are you
collecting coins? Special
Stars appear when you
collect 100 coins in each
of the 15 courses!

---

Elevator begins

It disappears

---

You've recovered one of
the stolen Power Stars!
Now you can open some of
the sealed doors in the
castle.
Try the Princess's room
on the second floor and
the room with the
painting of Whomp's
Fortress on Floor 1.
Bowser's troops are still
gaining power, so you
can't give up. Save us,
Mario! Keep searching for
Stars!

---

You've recovered three
Power Stars! Now you can
open any door with a 3
on its star.

You can come and go from
the open courses as you
please. The enemies ahead
are even meaner, so be
careful!

---

You've recovered eight of
the Power Stars! Now you
can open the door with
the big Star! But Bowser
is just ahead...can you
hear the Princess calling?

---

You've recovered 30
Power Stars! Now you can
open the door with the
big Star! But before you
move on, how's it going
otherwise?
Did you pound the two
columns down? You didn't
lose your hat, did you?
If you did, you'll have to
stomp on the condor to
get it back!
They say that Bowser has
sneaked out of the sea
and into the underground.
Have you finally
cornered him?

---

You've recovered 50
Power Stars! Now you can
open the Star Door on the
third floor. Bowser's
there, you know.

Oh! You've found all of
the Cap Switches, haven't
you? Red, green and blue?
The Caps you get from the
colored blocks are really
helpful.
Hurry along, now. The
third floor is just ahead.

---

You've found 70 Power
Stars! The mystery of the
endless stairs is solved,
thanks to you--and is
Bowser ever upset! Now,
on to the final bout!

---

Are you using the Cap
Blocks? You really should,
you know.


To make them solid so you
can break them, you have
to press the colored Cap
Switches in the castle's
hidden courses.
You'll find the hidden
courses only after
regaining some of the
Power Stars.

The Cap Blocks are a big
help! Red for the Wing
Cap, green for the Metal
Cap, blue for the Vanish
Cap.

---

Snowman Mountain ahead.
Keep out! And don't try
the Triple Jump over the
ice block shooter.


If you fall into the
freezing pond, your power
decreases quickly, and
you won't recover
automatically.
  --The Snowman

---

Welcome to
Princess Toadstool's
secret slide!
There's a Star hidden
here that Bowser couldn't
find.
When you slide, press
forward to speed up,
pull back to slow down.
If you slide really
fast, you'll win the Star!

---

Waaaa! You've flooded my
house! Wh-why?? Look at
this mess! What am I
going to do now?

The ceiling's ruined, the
floor is soaked...what to
do, what to do? Huff...
huff...it makes me so...
MAD!!!
Everything's been going
wrong ever since I got
this Star...It's so shiny,
but it makes me feel...
strange...

---

I can't take this
anymore! First you get
me all wet, then you
stomp on me!
Now I'm really, really,
REALLY mad!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

---

Owwch! Uncle! Uncle!
Okay, I give up. Take this
Star!
Whew! I feel better now.
I don't really need it
anymore, anyway--
I can see the stars
through my ceiling at
night.
They make me feel...
...peaceful. Please, come
back and visit anytime.

---

Hey! Who's there?
What's climbing on me?
Is it an ice ant?
A snow flea?
Whatever it is, it's
bugging me! I think I'll
blow it away!

---

Hold on to your hat! If
you lose it, you'll be
easily injured. If you
lose it, look for it in the
course where you lost it.
Speaking of lost, the
Princess is still stuck in
the walls somewhere.
Please help, Mario!

Oh, you know that there
are secret worlds in the
walls as well as in the
paintings, right?

---

Thanks to the power of
the Stars, life is
returning to the castle.
Please, Mario, you have
to give Bowser the boot!

Here, let me tell you a
little something about the
castle. In the room with
the mirrors, look carefully
for anything that's not
reflected in the mirror.
And when you go to the
water town, you can flood
it with a high jump into
the painting.

---

The world inside the
clock is so strange!
When you jump inside,
watch the position of
the big hand!

---

Watch out! Don't let
yourself be swallowed by
quicksand.


If you sink into the sand,
you won't be able to
jump, and if your head
goes under, you'll be
smothered.
The dark areas are
bottomless pits.

---

1. If you jump repeatedly
and time it right, you'll
jump higher and higher.
If you run really fast and
time three jumps right,
you can do a Triple Jump.
2. Jump into a solid wall,
then jump again when you
hit the wall. You can
bounce to a higher level
using this Wall Kick.

---

3. If you stop, press (Z)
to crouch, then jump, you
can perform a Backward
Somersault. To do a Long
Jump, run fast, press (Z),
then jump.

---

Press (B) while running
fast to do a Body Slide
attack. To stand while
sliding, press (A) or (B).

---

Mario!!!
It that really you???
It has been so long since
our last adventure!
They told me that I might
see you if I waited here,
but I'd just about given
up hope!
Is it true? Have you
really beaten Bowser? And
restored the Stars to the
castle?
And saved the Princess?
I knew you could do it!
Now I have a very special
message for you.
”Thanks for playing Super
Mario 64! This is the
end of the game, but not
the end of the fun...“

The Super Mario 64 Team

---

No, no, no! Not you
again! I'm in a great
hurry, can't you see?

I've no time to squabble
over Stars. Here, have it.
I never meant to hide it
from you...
It's just that I'm in such
a rush. That's it, that's
all. Now, I must be off.
Owww! Let me go!

---

Noooo! You've really
beaten me this time,
Mario! I can't stand
losing to you!

My troops...worthless!
They've turned over all
the Power Stars! What?!
There are 120 in all???

Amazing! There were some
in the castle that I
missed??!!


Now I see peace
returning to the world...
Oooo! I really hate that!
I can't watch--
I'm outta here!
Just you wait until next
time. Until then, keep
that Control Stick
smokin'!
Buwaa ha ha!

---

Mario! What's up, pal?
I haven't been on the
slide lately, so I'm out
of shape.
Still, I'm always up for a
good race, especially
against an old sleddin'
buddy.
Whaddya say?
Ready...set...

  Go     Don't Go

---

I take no responsibility
whatsoever for those who
get dizzy and pass out
from running around
this post.

---

I'll be back soon.
I'm out training now,
so come back later.
  --Koopa the Quick

---

Princess Toadstool's
castle is just ahead.


Press (A) to jump, (Z) to
crouch, and (B) to punch,
read a sign, or grab
something.
Press (B) again to throw
something you're holding.

---

Hey! Knock it off! That's
the second time you've
nailed me. Now you're
asking for it, linguine
breath!

---

Keep out!
That means you!
Arrgghh!

Anyone entering this cave
without permission will
meet certain disaster.
