Timed Jumps on the Moving Bars

Stuck on the Timed Jumps on the Moving Bars star in Super Mario 64? This guide shows you how to navigate the moving bars and grab the star.

Alright, so you're looking for the Timed Jumps on the Moving Bars star in Tick Tock Clock, huh? It's a little off the beaten path, but totally doable, especially if you've got time standing still. You'll need to make your way up to where you'd normally climb that big pole.

Once you're up there, hop onto the platform right next to the pole. From there, do a Side Somersault and then a Wall Jump to reach the platform above. Keep an eye out for a mesh-like area nearby – that's actually above the star from 'The Pit and the Pendulums' mission. You're almost there!

Now, jump onto that mesh area. You should see three moving bars on a higher ledge. If time is moving at its normal pace, you'll need to be pretty precise with your jumps. But here's the sweet spot: if you've managed to get time to stand still, those bars will be stuck straight up, making it way easier! Just make your way to the top bar, and you'll be right next to the entrance of a small cage. Hop inside, and that star is all yours!
