Super Mario 64: Find Castle Secret Stars

Alright, let's dive into the Castle Secret Stars for Star 3, also known as the Secret Aquarium! This one's hidden away, so pay attention.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, head to the room that has the Jolly Roger Bay painting. You know, the one that leads to the underwater level.
2
As soon as you enter that room, don't just stand there! Walk up the little staircase right in front of you and then make a sharp right turn.
3
Now, you'll want to use the camera control to look around. Press the up angle button to get a good view. You should spot a dark, black alcove tucked away in the wall.
4
Take a leap of faith and jump right into that alcove! Poof! You'll be zapped away to the most awesome secret aquarium.
5
Your mission in here is to collect eight Red Coins. Keep your eyes peeled!
6
Once you've snagged all eight Red Coins, a shiny Star of Power will pop into existence right in the middle, towards the bottom of the aquarium.

Here's a quick rundown of where to find those Red Coins:

Coin 1 - You'll see this one right in front of you when you arrive, smack dab in the middle of a bunch of yellow coins.
Coin 2 - Turn around from where you start. This coin is also in the center of a group of yellow coins, but it's directly behind you.
Coin 3 - To your left when you begin. Yep, you guessed it – in the middle of some yellow coins.
Coin 4 - To your right when you start. This one's also nestled in a cluster of yellow coins.
Coin 5 - Head down to the very bottom of the aquarium. Look for the northwest corner; the coin is waiting there.
Coin 6 - Still at the bottom, now make your way to the northeast corner.
Coin 7 - Keep it low! Find the southwest corner at the bottom of the tank.
Coin 8 - Last one! It's at the bottom, in the southeast corner.
