Follow our guide to find the Treasure of the Ocean Cave star in Super Mario 64! Learn the chest order and avoid falling pillars.

Alright, let's dive into the Jolly Roger Bay stage and grab that Treasure of the Ocean Cave star! It's not too tricky, but you'll want to pay attention to a couple of things.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, jump into the water as soon as the level starts and head straight for the deep end. You're looking for a cave opening, and the easiest way to spot it is by a ring of coins floating around it. Swim on into that cave!
  2. 2
    Once you're inside, you'll notice there's a Blue Coin Block. Keep this in mind if you're aiming for the 100-coin star later on – it's a good spot to rack up some coins.
  3. 3
    Now, pay attention! As you move through the cave, you'll see some pillars. These guys will fall down when you get too close, so be super careful not to get smashed by one. Timing is key here.
  4. 4
    Keep swimming towards the far end of the cave. You'll find four chests waiting for you. These are just like the ones in the 'Plunder in the Sunken Ship' mission – you need to open them in a specific order.
  5. 5
    Here's the order: With the rest of the cave behind you, open the chests from left to right, then front to back. So, the sequence is: Back, Left, Right, Front.
  6. 6
    Nail that order, and poof! A Power Star will appear, ready for you to collect.
Tips
  • Watch out for those falling pillars! They can really surprise you if you're not looking.
  • Remember the Blue Coin Block for later if you need more coins.
  • The chest order is crucial, so double-check it if you're unsure.

You'll get a Power Star for your efforts!
