Learn how to access and conquer Princess Peach's Secret Slide in Super Mario 64! Grab both Power Stars, including the speedy one, with our easy-to-follow guide.
Hey there! Ready to grab some more stars? We're heading to Princess Peach's Secret Slide, which is a bit hidden but totally worth it. You'll need at least one Power Star to even get into the room where this slide is located. Once you're in, look for three windows featuring Princess Peach. The trick is to go through the window on the right when you're facing away from the door you came in. That's your secret entrance to the slide!
You might notice a Blue Coin Block before the slide itself, but don't worry about it too much. This area is for one of the castle's secret stars, and usually, these spots only have one star to grab. But surprise! This one actually has two!
- 1First, make your way to the room with the three Princess Peach windows. Remember, you need at least one Power Star to enter.
- 2Head to the rightmost window (when your back is to the entrance door) and jump right through it. This is your secret passage to the slide area.
- 3Before you start sliding, take a moment to read the sign. It'll explain how to control Mario: tilt the left analog stick forward to speed up, and pull it back to slow down.
- 4Once you start sliding, the timer for the first star begins. It's a good idea to just go through it a few times to get a feel for the track's layout.
- 5Be careful in the middle section of the slide – there aren't any rails, so you could easily fall off into the abyss below. Don't worry though, falling doesn't cost you a life; Mario just gets sent back to the main hub.
- 6Reach the end of the slide, and you'll find a yellow box waiting for you. Open it up to claim your first Power Star!
Getting the Second Star (Under 21 Seconds):
- Now for the trickier star! To get this one, you need to complete the slide in under 21 seconds.
- As soon as you start sliding, keep that left analog stick tilted forward as much as possible.
- Try to cut corners whenever you can to shave off precious seconds.
- Just keep practicing and pushing your speed until you manage to cross the finish line in under 21 seconds. The star will appear right after you finish!
- Don't stress about falling off the slide; you'll just respawn in the main hub without losing a life.
- Focus on mastering the controls and the slide's path for the first star, then work on shaving off time for the second.
- Cutting corners is key to beating that 21-second mark!
