Chests in the Current

Master the 'Chests in the Current' star in Super Mario 64! Learn the correct chest order, avoid electrocution, and navigate the whirlpool with this expert guide.

Alright, so you're diving into the Dire, Dire Docks and need to snag that 'Chests in the Current' star. If you've played Jolly Roger Bay before, this might feel a little familiar, but there's a twist! You need to open four chests in the right order. Mess it up, and you'll get zapped, and the whole puzzle resets. Plus, this time, that pesky whirlpool current is in play, so you'll have to watch out for that too.

When you first jump in, swim down and look for a Clam chilling next to a couple of columns of coins. The first chest you need is just to the left of that Clam. Grab it!

Next up, swim towards the tunnel. You're looking for another chest, and this one will have some scattered coins nearby. That's your second chest.

With those two down, there are just two left. The third chest you want is kinda by itself, not near any other chests. If you're looking at the Clam from the first chest, this one is to its right. Keep an eye out for it!

That leaves just one more chest. This last one is near the tunnel, but it's also super close to the whirlpool. You'll need to be extra careful here because of the current. Once you open this fourth and final chest, the star will pop up just to the left of the tunnel. Nice job!
