Super Mario 64 Hints

How do I get the 6th star (Elevator Tour in the Volcano)?

  • 1 of 5: Once again, as you did to get the 5th star, get the winged cap (if you can) and go into the volcano.
  • 2 of 5: Near two of the black marble islands is a checkered block which will take you on a track to another checkered block.
  • 3 of 5: Continue on the second checkered block to the pole and jump on it.
  • 4 of 5: Climb the pole to the top and then get on the next one and climb it to eh next platform.
  • 5 of 5: Jump on the other platforms until you reach the star.
