Super Mario 64 Hints

How do I get the 6th star (Pyramid Puzzle)?

  • 1 of 7: You need to go inside the pyramid and go to the top (just as you did for when you got the 3rd star).
  • 2 of 7: You need to find five bonus coins to get the star to appear.
  • 3 of 7: Instead of jumping to the last platform where the 3rd star was, jump on a smaller platform to retrieve a regular coin.  A bonus number one will appear.
  • 4 of 7: On the other side of the sand waterfall is the second secret bonus coin.
  • 5 of 7: Directly underneath the sand waterfall is the third secret bonus coin.
  • 6 of 7: In the center of the flow of sand are the fourth and fifth secret bonus coins.
  • 7 of 7: The star will appear at the end of the sand flow after you grab all five secret bonus coins.
