The Endless Stairs

[Jimmy T.]

Has anyone tried to get up the endless stairs?

Super Mario 64 - The Endless Stairs Glitch

To bypass that, you need 70 Power Stars (80 in the DS remake)!

I've known about the glitch, but I've never attempted it. I just like to play the game fair and square.

Attempted on the DS version because I wanted to fight Bowser as Yoshi - not Mario.
I failed, unfortunately

I tried out the same thing, but I failed as well. It would be cool to fight Bowser as Yoshi, though.

I have before - I borrowed a hacked version that just let me teleport to the stage as any character

I've always wanted to do that without having to used a hacked game, though...

No-one would reach "Bowser in the Sky" unless they bypass the stairs by;

1. Getting the Number of Powers Stars assigned. (70 in the original, 80 in the DS remake)
2. Use the glitch (N64 only)

Sadly in the DS remake, only Mario can fight Bowser in the final showdown. The other three characters (Luigi, Yoshi and Wario) were rejected by Bowser.

If Bowser could reject those three - why didn't he just do that to Mario as well? He doesn't seem to think half the time ~

"Grr.
Even though I've lost this many Power Stars,
Mario is the only one I can call my rival.
No one else matters.
Now scram!
Gwa ha ha!!"

Still ~ if he really wanted to win - he could have just held them all off there while he prepares for an escape or something.

 

[Luigi Party!]

That glitch is awesome, but it takes very long.  ;D

If Bowser rejects Mario, he would have won. But the Power of the Stars has caused the Mystery of the Endless Stairs to be solved for Mario.

In 64 ~ that made sense - by in DS, Bowser seemed to be able to keep the endless stairs going for the others - that's what I didn't get... as to why Bowser chose that...

I think only Nintendo wanted Mario to be the only character to fight Bowser in the final showdown.

I only wished Nintendo gave a better reason for only letting Mario go to fight Bowser instead...

I remember watching a video where Yoshi can enter the final Bowser level without AR, but I can't find that video...still looking for one. There was a similar video of it, but Luigi was used instead.

AR stands for Action Replay from Datel. I have a DSi version of it. I only used it in Mario Kart DS. But there could be another hack/glitch instead of the cheat codes.

When I was a kid, the music scared me.

It's like "scary" music to me when I first encountered the endless stairs.

 

[Chubbo1793]

I remember thes crazy stairs. Back when I was younger, I use to spend awhile trying to see if the stairs would actually end, but sadly they did not.

And then when turning around, the bottom is right there...very depressing as a little kid.

And when I turned the camera in front of the character, the lower floor keeps following me as I move up!
