Super Mario 64 Hints

The Code for Becoming Luigi

• You must do all of the following to become Luigi (supposedly):
  
  You must do this entire thing without saving until you get him.  Plug your controller into the 2nd port.  Before you turn on the N64, hold the analog stick up so that will be the neutral position.  Turn on the 64.  Go to file B.  (You must erase it if you have data on that file.)  Go to the castle door and go in.  As soon as you enter the door, press L,R & Start simultaneously to set the neutral position back to normal.  Go to "Bob-omb Battlefield" & get the 1st, 3rd, & 7th stars.  Then, go to "Whomp's Fortress" and get the 1st, 6th, and 7th stars.  Now go to "Jolly Roger Bay" and get the 1, 5, and 7 stars.  This will give you nine stars. Go to "Bowser in the Dark World" now. Get the 8 red coins and get the star (Don't fight Bowser yet).  Now go to cool cool mountain now and get the 6 star. Now go into the wing cap stage get all the 8 red coins . Do not jump on the switch. Now go back to "Bowser in the Dark World".  Get to Bowser, but don't kill him yet.
  
  Let him keep spitting fire and keep collecting the coins until you have 164 coins. Now beat Bowser.  Go to the basement and unlock the door.  Walk to your left to where you see the ramp with the blue glass covering it.  Dive up the ramp and then go through the door.  Walk down to your right and then jump into the pool of water.  Swim forward until you get to the other side.  Jump on to one of the poles & do the butt slam.  Then do the same to the other.  Go out the metal door at the bottom.  Now go into the vanish cap stage.  Go into the stage and work your way to the blue switch.  Once you have jumped on it, just jump off the side to exit.
  
  Now go back to "Jolly Roger Bay".  Go to star 2 and go to the ship.  You will see the box with a poison symbol on it.  Let the box go left 64 times and right 64 times. after it has gone back and fourth 64 times buttslam on it. Instead of hurting you, the box will burst and a green hat will come out of it.  Pick it up and Mario will spin around and say "It's a Luigi time!"  You will be sent out of the stage.  Now you can go upstairs without beating Bowser in the fire sea.  Go to the hall of mirrors.  When you walk in there, jump on top of the 1st pole you come to, do the butt slam on the pole 6 times. then go to the pole in front of the goomba painting and jump onto it.  Do the butt slam 4 times on it.  All of a sudden Luigi will appear in the mirror in front of the goomba painting.  Punch him and he will come out.  Now he will follow you wherever you go and you can switch between who plays by pushing L.
