Quick Race Through Downtown!

Grab the 'Quick Race Through Downtown!' star in Super Mario 64! Learn how to use the Vanish Cap and navigate the cage to reach the star. Full guide here!

Alright, let's snag that 'Quick Race Through Downtown!' star in Super Mario 64! To make things easier, we're going to start by getting the water level in Wet-Dry World as high as possible. Just jump into the painting at its highest point, and that should do the trick. Once the water's up, hop over the fence and dive into the cage. Now, you'll want to lower the water level in the downtown area. After that, find the cage tucked away in one of the corners. Inside, you'll see ledges that'll help you climb your way to the star at the top.

Here's the catch: to actually get *inside* that cage, you'll need the **Vanish Cap**. Don't worry, there's one waiting for you! It's in the opposite corner, just past that little building where you found the Red Coin star.

So, the plan is to grab that Vanish Cap and make a dash for the cage. Those smaller walls inside the cage might look like obstacles, but with the Vanish Cap, you can actually pass right through them, which really speeds things up. Once you're past the initial fence, you'll need to perform a Wall Jump to reach the first ledge. The space inside the cage is pretty tight, so a Side Somersault followed by a Wall Jump is your best bet. From that first ledge, it's just a few more easy jumps to claim your star!
