Super Mario 64 Hints
How do I beat Koopa to the top of the mountain?
1 of 11: Try following him first.
2 of 11: Unfortunately, you can't go up the large hill he manages to go up (at least not easily).
3 of 11: And you can't use the cannons to shoot your way up to the mountain, because Koopa will accuse you of cheating.
4 of 11: So, you have to find another way.
5 of 11: Try running past the caged monster and continue going across the bridge.
6 of 11: Continue right and go through the gated entrance.
7 of 11: Then, turn right again and run past the balls and dast to the top of the mountain.
8 of 11: Sometimes you'll beat him, sometimes you won't.
9 of 11: To make sure you beat him, try the secret way.
10 of 11: If you go inside the first cave in the left of the mountain, you'll be warped to the top of the mountain.
11 of 11: Then, just wait for Koopa to come up to the top.
