Follow our Super Mario 64 stars guide and Super Mario 64 walkthrough as we detail every hidden star and 100 coins challenge in every level.
Our Super Mario 64 stars guide covers all 120 Power Stars hidden throughout Peach’s Castle. The goal of our guide is to get you the locations and any necessary information for each star in the quickest way possible. Look out for short and to the point descriptions along with images and maps.
Super Mario 64 features 15 different worlds, each with a total of seven collectible Power Stars. Six stars are based on the level picked before entering the world but there’s also a star reward for collecting 100 coins without leaving the level. Some of these stars can be found no matter which level you choose and we’ll make that distinction throughout our Super Mario 64 stars walkthrough.
