Super Mario 64 Hints
How do I get the 3rd star (Shoot to the Island in the Sky)?
1 of 6: First off, notice that the title of this star is "Shoot To The Island In The Sky".
2 of 6: That means you're going to need the cannons.
3 of 6: First, earn the first star and then talk to the little pink bomb buddies around to allow you access to the cannons on this level.
4 of 6: Jump into one of the cannons and shoot yourself to the floating island.
5 of 6: The cannon that is the closet is when you go over the first bridge at the beginning and jump over the fence (if you beat Koopa in the race, a small version of him will be running around near the cannon).
6 of 6: Once you land on the floating island, activate the yellow box and a star will appear.
