Super Mario 64 Hints
How do I get the 5th star (Hot-Foot-It into the Volcano)?
1 of 6: Get the winged cap (if you have it) and fly into the top opening of the volcano in the center of the level.
2 of 6: Follow the platforms on the walls off the platform all the way up to the top.
3 of 6: Then, use the poles to jump from platform to platform.
4 of 6: Jumping from one pole to the other is easier if you climb higher on the pole.
5 of 6: At the top of the volcano is the star.
6 of 6: You will land on a black marble island. Jump to the long serpentine black marble island. Follow it until you can jump to the flagstone-looking platform with several regular coins on it (look out for the steam vents).
