Guide to collecting all eight Red Coins on Whomp's Fortress in Super Mario 64. Learn the locations and strategies to find each coin and earn your Power Star.
Walkthrough
- 1Upon beginning the stage, jump up to the dirt path and follow it until you get to the Moving Bars. The middle Moving Bar will have Red Coin #1 hovering above it.
- 2Return to the beginning, jump up to the stone slope and go to the top of it. Jump on top of the nearby Thwomp and wait for it to be in the air to grab Red Coin #2.
- 3Double back to the stone ramp near the beginning and go into the water. As you get closer to the Bob-Omb Buddy, there is another slope that is too steep to run up it normally. Do a Double or Triple Jump to grab Red Coin #3.
- 4Return to the top of the stone ramp. Behind the Piranha Plant right in front of you will be Red Coin #4.
- 5Around the bend from the Piranha Plant, on the thin ledge, will be Red Coin #5.
- 6Get on the rotating bridge and wait for it to bring you around to Red Coin #6.
- 7Look for the plank of wood that is standing straight up and attack it a few times to knock it over flat. This will allow access to the floating platforms.
- 8On these floating platforms will be Red Coin #7 and Red Coin #8.
Tips
- Be careful not to get pushed off the Moving Bar by the creature.
- The second Thwomp mentioned is the one you need to use for Red Coin #2 if you chose the path of returning to the beginning.
- Use a Double or Triple Jump to reach Red Coin #3 on the steep slope.
- The camera can be janky when trying to access the floating platforms; knocking over the plank of wood helps.
