Super Mario 64 Hints
How do I get the 5th star (Fall Onto the Caged Island)?
1 of 10: You have to somehow get to the caged island near the other floating islands.
2 of 10: You can't jump to it. You have to fly to it.
3 of 10: But there aren't any cap boxes on this level.
4 of 10: There is an owl on this level that you can ride to the caged island.
5 of 10: Look for him near the only tree on this level.
6 of 10: This tree is at the beginning of the level.
7 of 10: Climb it and he will emerge.
8 of 10: Follow his shadow and jump to get picked up and go for a ride.
9 of 10: Hold the "A" button to hold on and when you are over the caged island, let go and you'll drop.
10 of 10: You can manuever the owl sometimes; and make sure you get to the cage island as fast as you can, because eventually the owl will get tired and will let go of you (regardless of where you are).
