Grab the Star in Super Mario 64's Rainbow Ride! Follow our guide to navigate the swinging pendulums, falling logs, and flamethrowers to reach the Rainbow Ride Star.
Alright, let's snag that fourth Star in Rainbow Ride! This one's called "Swingin' in the Breeze," and it's all about timing those tricky platforms.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, walk over the bridge and step onto the magic carpet. Just like usual, ride it past the platform and the flamethrower until you reach the circling platforms where the carpet path ends.
- 2You'll spot Lakitu up ahead. Take him out, then hop onto the spinning platform to your left.
- 3From that spinning platform, make a jump to the grey platform. From there, grab onto the striped pole and slide all the way down.
- 4Head down the steps, but watch out for that Shy Guy – dodge it! Now, you need to jump onto the teeter-totter platform.
- 5Stand on the left side of the teeter-totter so it slants upwards. Quickly run to the other side and jump onto the high ledge that appears.
- 6Up ahead, you'll see a pendulum swinging with a ledge on its bottom, crossing a big pit. Wait for the pendulum to swing towards your ledge, then jump on! Ride it across to the other side and hop onto the next ledge.
- 7Next up are those logs that disappear when you step on them. You gotta be quick! Run across them and get onto the next teeter-totter.
- 8Let this teeter-totter slant up just a little, then jump onto the next set of falling logs. From there, do a side somersault to land on another set of logs that are a bit higher and in a different direction. Run across these quickly.
- 9Jump onto the stone platform. Be careful, there's a flamethrower on the side of this platform that'll blast you if you're not paying attention.
- 10Look across from you. You'll see another set of falling logs and a yellow platform moving back and forth. Wait until the yellow platform is coming towards you.
- 11Now, run across the falling logs and hop onto the yellow platform. It'll take you to a ledge where you'll need to defeat a Goomba.
- 12Once the Goomba is down, look to your left. You'll see a slanted wooden ledge with parts sticking out. Use these to climb your way up.
- 13At the top, you'll see another pendulum-ledge contraption. This one leads to the platform where the Star is, but a flamethrower is guarding it! Swing across to that platform.
- 14Wait for the flamethrower to stop firing its blast. As soon as it's clear, run across and grab that Star! You've done it!
