Super Mario 64 Hints

How do I get the 1st star (In the Talons of the Big Bird)?

  • 1 of 6: The flying bird near the pillars in the back of the pyramid is carrying this star.
  • 2 of 6: You need to be able to climb up the pillars.
  • 3 of 6: You can fly to the pillars if you have the winged cap.
  • 4 of 6: Or, you can just run up the side of the pillars.
  • 5 of 6: Once on top, jump straight at the bird to knock the star off of him.
  • 6 of 6: Then, walk over and grab the star that is now at the side of one of the pillars.
