Unlockable: Mario

Nearly a decade after Super Mario 64 rocked the world of console platformers, Super Mario 64 DS breaks out with a new set of set of challenges. Sporting a new style of control—touch control—Mario is back, and now with a host of friends with unique abilities. Even if you've mastered the Nintendo 64 original, Super Mario 64 DS is sure to offer up plenty of challenges that you need help with.

In this guide, you'll find:

  • Basic details on the differences between characters, including their advantages and weaknesses so you can know who's best to use.

  • Complete Game Timeline that tracks the order of events in the game—if you're not sure what to do next, our timeline will get you on the right track.
  • All secrets found in Super Mario 64 DS are uncovered. Find all hidden bunnies and unlock all special mini-games in the Rec Room!

After unlocking the red ! boxes, go to the castle courtyard. Punch the giant boo with the cage inside of him to enter Big Boo's Haunt. Obtain the first star by defeating all the Boos to get the staircase. In the second goal, as Mario, go up the stars and into the room with the single bookshelf. Use the fire flower to float up to the room above, where you'll find a Luigi painting. Jump through the painting and defeat Big Boo to get Luigi's key.
Unlockable: Wario
After obtaining 30 stars and defeating Bowser for a 2nd time, head up to the second castle floor and enter the room where Snowman's land. On the left you'll see a Luigi painting, but its reflection in the mirror will be a Wario painting. Get the flower to turn invisible and walk through the mirror to appear on the opposite side. Jump into the Wario painting to enter the level. Defeat Chief Chilly to obtain the key for Wario's Room.

Unlock Courtyard Cannon
After you collect all 150 stars, head outside to the courtyard near the lake. (not the moat under the castle) You'll find that the cage to a cannon is gone, so you can use it to blast on the roof collect 3 1UP mushrooms, and a Power Flower. (this is also the only way to unlock one of Luigi's minigames) Also, if you head back to Cool, Cool Mountain and choose "Big Penquin Race" or anything past that for your mission, you'll find that the penquin is now really fat and harder to race.
Unlockable: Luigi Key
You must defeat King Boo in Luigi's Painting on the 3rd Floor of Big Boo's Haunt.
Hint: Health Recovery
When damaged, find a body of water and swim under. After, simply swim back up to your characters head is out on the surface. Your health should replenish.
Hint: No Hat, No Service
Have you ever wondered what the game would be like without a hat? Go to the Tall, Tall Mountain level and find the monkey after the super Bomb-omb. Grab it and it will steal your hat. Then exit the level. Now if you play as that character they will have no hat even if you restart. After this, wait until the Toad right inside has your hat. He will give you the hat and a star. Yoshi can't experience this but if you find a small crate eat it and you will get a square egg. If you hit a question block with no hat it can get pretty ugly.
Hint: Course 6, Navigating the Toxic Maze
This maze always gets the better of me no matter how many times I try it. To get the star without having to navigate the maze is simple. Enter this level as Luigi and head down towards the sea monster section. You will have to take a lift to get down to him. Before you step on the lift have a look around and you will see the star through a mesh fence. Now you can see the star hop on the lift and head downwards. At the bottom you will see a power flower box. Burst it open and quickly hop back on the lift. At the top you will have plenty of time to get off it and walk through the fence and grab the power star, simple!
Hint: Rabbits
Having trouble finding the bunnies for the rec room? Their locations are as follows, but be sure to talk to the rec room toad with the characters before looking for the bunnies.

Yoshi's bunnies
-outside of the castle right at the end of the bridge.
-outside of the castle left of the bridge

Hint: Extra Bonuses on Slots Shot Mini-Game
Right when you run out of balls on slots shot (mini-game) keep on pushing down on the trigger in the touch screen and it will keep on giving you bonus chances on the slots.
Glitch: Fall Through Water
Go to Wet-dry world and make the water level as low as it can go but still submerging little part of the gray ramp. Go under the gray ramp and right where the bottom of the ramp comes out of the water. Make your character jump up and hit the bottom of the gray ramp. This will cause your charater to fall through the bottom of the water.

The entire sequence will go by and you will never see the character. Also, on the cake at the end, the locked character will be missing and the other characters will be in different positions.

Never lose all of your lives against the third Bowser
If you lose to the third Bowser, you will be thrown out of the warp-pipe that you came in. If you back down the blue stairs about where the heart is, you will notice four pillars. Go in front of the top left pillar and you will recieve a free life. If you do this every time you lose, you will never run out of lives while fighting him.

Two stars from Toad
If you happen to miss out on the star that you get from defeating the Boo's in the courtyard and getting their red coins, dont fret. You can still get 150 stars. It is simple, go to any one of the three Toads that gave you the other stars ( the one in Hazy maze Cave level entrance, near Tick tock the Clock entrance,and near tall tall mountain entrance) and talk to them, one of them will give you the star that you had missed out on earlier. This does not work for stars that you dont want to get like secret level stars on regular level stars, it only works for the Boo's courtyard star because it was a star that dissapeared near

Bob-omb Squad Tip
Can't get a good score on Wario's first mini-game (Bob-omb Squad)? Here are some tips. When shotting the ball with the stylus on the Touch Screen, try to hit the Lakitu on the top screen. If you hit it, all Bob-ombs will instantly explode and clear the screen of Bob-ombs. Be aware that the Lakitu is not always on the screen. Also, when there are many Bob-ombs on the bottom screen, pull back the slingshot right under the the Bob-omb and it will most always plow right threw the Bob-omb for 100+ points.

Getting Mario, Wario and Luigi

Get Mario
After you have 8 stars go in the door in the room that you can play rec room mini games and jump in the Mario picture. The level is easy! To beat Gomboss, (since you are yoshi.) run in front or behind him and put a goompa in your mouth and shoot it at him. Repet this 3 times.

Get Luigi
Go to Big Boos Haunt level as Mario and go to where big boo's balcany would be(In the house up the stairs far door on the right use Mario to float with the flower up.) Jump in the Luigi picture.

Ok after a few tries you see why you hate this level. So go right,left,right,left and up to face the big boo.
I found the way out of this level by following the boo's laugh. to beat the boo just punch him 3 times. when he is in the mirror just punch his shadow.

Get Wario
Use Luigi and go to the mirror room(beat 2nd bowser go in the next door up and go right in the closest door.)go through the flower in the mirror and into the Wario picture. You should beat the level after a few trys. To beat the ice Bully just knock him in the water. punch him a few times to get a coin.

How to find the level shifting sand land.
After you get 8 stars you can enter the room on the second floor with a star on it. Enter the room and walk towards the peach picture keep on walking and you will fall through a trap to enter bowsers level. Finish the level by beating bowser and obtaining a key. ONce you are at the entrance of the castle again go through one of the brown doors, go down the few steps then immediatly turn to go down a longer flight of stairs, open the door with your newly obtained key. Walk through the tunnel. and open the door. Turn right and you should see a picture of a flaming head, stand in front of it and turn left, there should be a empty hallway with an empty wall, it's not really empty! Jump through the wall to get to the Shifting Sand Land course!

Play with Character Faces
On the screen that lets you choose either rec room or Adventure touch the stylus on the characters faces and it will become black and white. You can pull on their faces to move it around.

quick way across sandland
first,be any character,go to the level,and get the luigi cap.Get the fire flower on the top of the stone platform.Run over to the left of the pyramid(with the chain wall)jump,and the tornado should pick you up(yes im telling you to jump over a quick sand pit).As you twirl around,aim yourself toward the wall,because you are invisible,you will go through the wall and land.this hint helps when you have little health so you dont want to risk the box way,or if you just suck at the boxes and die every time you go that way.

Tall, Tall Mountain Warp
In Tall, Tall, Mountain, there is a warp that makes it easy to get to the cannon. In the area with all of the mushrooms, you will see two tiny mushrooms that are next to each other.
