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.
