Discover the hidden star on Mysterious Mountainside in Super Mario 64. Learn the jump kick and Fly Guy float strategies to reach it.

Alright, so you're looking for that star on Mysterious Mountainside, huh? It's tucked away on the side of the mountain, pretty close to where that Chuckya guy hangs out. Here's the deal:

Method 1: The Jump Kick

You can actually spot this area if you pause the game and check out the map. It's possible to just jump down to it, but you'll need to nail a jump kick. While you're in the air, hold the left stick towards the star's location to make Mario aim for it.

Method 2: The Fly Guy Float

If the jump kick feels a bit tricky, there's another way. Find the Fly Guy near the giant log. Jump on him to get the float ability. This should give you plenty of air time to glide right over to the star. Easy peasy!

Tips
  • Don't forget to use the pause menu to get a better look at the map – it can really help you pinpoint tricky locations like this one.
  • The Fly Guy float is super useful for reaching areas you might otherwise miss. Make sure to grab it when you see it!
