Need help finding the 'Blast To The Lonely Mushroom' Star in Super Mario 64 DS? Follow this guide to navigate Tall, Tall Mountain and grab the star!

Alright, let's grab the 'Blast To The Lonely Mushroom' star on Tall, Tall Mountain in Super Mario 64 DS! First things first, you absolutely HAVE to talk to the pink Bob-omb before you can even think about getting this star. If you skip him, the cannons won't be ready for you. He's chilling just before the first monkey, right after that bridge with the five coins on it. If you're lost, just keep an eye out for him!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once you're ready, head past the three Goombas and keep going down the path. You'll hit a hole, so get ready to perform a long jump (press Z and A together) to clear it.
  2. 2
    Continue on the path, and you'll find another hole. Yep, another long jump (Z+A) is needed to cross this one too.
  3. 3
    You'll arrive at a platform with a bunch of giant mushrooms to your left. Take a good look at them – you're searching for a small mushroom that *doesn't* have a red coin on it. There are two of these.
  4. 4
    Hop onto one of the small mushrooms that doesn't have a red coin above it. Stand there for a moment, and BAM! You'll be zapped to a new section of the level.
  5. 5
    In this new area, carefully walk down the narrow ledge. Keep going until you find the cannon.
  6. 6
    Jump into the cannon! Now, when you're aiming, look around for a giant mushroom with a shiny star right on top. You need to position the cannon so you'll land squarely on that star.
  7. 7
    When you think you've got the aim just right, fire the cannon by pressing A. If you nailed the aim, you'll land on the star and grab it! If you miss, you'll likely fly off the edge, lose a life, and have to start all over again.
Tips
  • Don't forget to talk to the pink Bob-omb first! It's the key to unlocking the cannons for this star.
  • Mastering the long jump (Z+A) is crucial for crossing those holes.
  • Pay close attention to the mushrooms; you're looking for the specific small one without a red coin.
  • Accurate cannon aiming is everything here. Take your time lining it up!
