Wow! You're smack in the middle of the battlefield. You'll find the Power Stars that Bowser stole inside the painting worlds. First, talk to the Bob-omb Buddy. (Press [B] to talk.) He'll certainly help you out, and so will his comrades in other areas. To read signs, stop, face them and press [B]. Press [A] or [B] to scroll ahead. You can talk to some other characters by facing them and pressing [B].

On entering Bob-Omb Battlefield (BoB) during the first mission before completing it.

001

Watch out! If you wander around here, you're liable to be plastered by a water bomb! Those enemy Bob-ombs love to fight, and they're always finding ways to attack. This meadow has become a battlefield ever since the Big Bob-omb got his paws on the Power Star. Can you recover the Star for us? Cross the bridge and go left up the path to find the Big Bob-omb. Please come back to see me after you've retrieved the Power Star!

The pink Bob-Omb just to the right of the starting point in BoB, during the first mission.
002

Hey, you! It's dangerous ahead, so listen up! Take my advice.

Cross the two bridges ahead, then watch for falling water bombs. The Big Bob-omb at the top of the mountain is very powerful--don't let him grab you! We're Bob-omb Buddies, and we're on your side. You can talk to us whenever you'd like to!

The pink Bob-Omb next to the cannon at the starting area in BoB, during the first mission.
003

Thank you, Mario! The Big Bob-omb is nothing but a big dud now! But the battle for the castle has just begun. Other enemies are holding the other Power Stars. If you recover more Stars, you can open new doors that lead to new worlds! My Bob-omb Buddies are waiting for you. Be sure to talk to them--they'll set up cannons for you.

The pink Bob-Omb just to the right of the starting point in BoB, on any mission except the first.
004

We're peace-loving Bob-ombs, so we don't use cannons. But if you'd like to blast off, we don't mind. Help yourself. We'll prepare all of the cannons in this course for you to use. Bon Voyage!

The pink Bob-Omb next to the cannon at the starting area in BoB, on any mission except the first.
005

Hey, Mario! Is it true that you beat the Big Bob-omb? Cool! You must be strong. And pretty fast. So, how fast are you, anyway? Fast enough to beat me... Koopa the Quick? I don't think so. Just try me. How about a race to the mountaintop, where the Big Bob-omb was? Whaddya say? When I say ”Go,“ let the race begin!

Ready....

Long time, no see! Wow, have you gotten fast! Have you been training on the sly, or is it the power of the Stars? I've been feeling down about losing the last race. This is my home course--how about a rematch? The goal is in Windswept Valley. Ready?

Ackk! Let...go... You're...choking...me... Cough...I've been framed! This Cap? Oh, all right, take it. It's a cool Cap, but I'll give it back. I think it looks better on me than it does on you, though! Eeeee! Kee keee!

The monkey by the waterfall in TTM, if you grab him while it has the hat.
102

Pssst! The Boos are super shy. If you look them in the eyes, they fade away, but if you turn your back, they reappear. It's no use trying to hit them when they're fading away. Instead, sneak up behind them and punch.

Upon four towers one must alight... Then at the peak shall shine the light...

Boooooo-m! Here comes the master of mischief, the tower of terror, the Big Boo! Ka ha ha ha...

After killing all the Boos on the ground floor in the mansion in BBH.
109

Ooooo Nooooo! Talk about out-of-body experiences--my body has melted away! Have you run in to any headhunters lately?? I could sure use a new body! Brrr! My face might freeze like this!

110

I need a good head on my shoulders. Do you know of anybody in need of a good body? Please! I'll follow you if you do!

The snowman's body in CCM before rolling down the hill.
111

Perfect! What a great new body! Here--this is a present for you. It's sure to warm you up.

The snowman after the head and body have united.
112

Collect as many coins as possible! They'll refill your Power Meter.

You can check to see how many coins you've collected in each of the 15 enemy worlds. You can also recover power by touching the Spinning Heart.

The faster you run through the heart, the more power you'll recover.

The sign beside the Spinning Heart in BoB.
113

There are special Caps in the red, green and blue blocks. Step on the switches in the hidden courses to activate the Cap Blocks.

Signs with this text appear beside several Cap Blocks. The first occurrence is beside the Wing Cap Block near the first bridge in BoB.
114

It makes me so mad! We build your houses, your castles. We pave your roads, and still you walk all over us. Do you ever say thank you? No! Well, you're not going to wipe your feet on me! I think I'll crush you just for fun! Do you have a problem with that? Just try to pound me, wimp! Ha!

The Whomp King before the battle in WF.
115

No! Crushed again! I'm just a stepping stone, after all. I won't gravel, er, grovel. Here, you win. Take this with you!

After defeating the Whomp King in WF.
116

Whaaa....Whaaat? Can it be that a pipsqueak like you has defused the Bob-omb king???? You might be fast enough to ground me, but you'll have to pick up the pace if you want to take King Bowser by the tail. Methinks my troops could learn a lesson from you! Here is your Star, as I promised, Mario.

If you want to see me again, select this Star from the menu. For now, farewell.

Said by King Bob-Omb after being defeated.
117

Who...walk...here? Who...break...seal? Wake..ancient..ones? We no like light... Rrrrummbbble... We no like...intruders! Now battle... ...hand... ...to... ...hand!

Eyerok before the battle in SSL.
118

Grrrrumbbble! What...happen? We...crushed like pebble. You so strong! You rule ancient pyramid! For today... Now, take Star of Power. We...sleep...darkness.

After defeating Eyerok in SSL.
119

Grrr! I was a bit careless. This is not as I had planned...but I still hold the power of the Stars, and I still have Peach. Bwa ha ha! You'll get no more Stars from me! I'm not finished with you yet, but I'll let you go for now. You'll pay for this... later!

After defeating Bowser in BitDW.
120

Ooowaah! Can it be that I've lost??? The power of the Stars has failed me... this time. Consider this a draw. Next time, I'll be in perfect condition.

Now, if you want to see your precious Princess, come to the top of the tower. I'll be waiting! Gwa ha ha ha!

After defeating Bowser in BitFS.
121

Nooo! It can't be! You've really beaten me, Mario?!! I gave those troops power, but now it's fading away! Arrgghh! I can see peace returning to the world! I can't stand it! Hmmm... It's not over yet...

C'mon troops! Let's watch the ending together! Bwa ha ha!

You must fight with honor! It is against the royal rules to throw the king out of the ring!

Said by King Bob-Omb if he is thrown out of the 'ring'.
129

Welcome to the Vanish Cap Switch Course! All of the blue blocks you find will become solid once you step on the Cap Switch. You'll disappear when you put on the Vanish Cap, so you'll be able to elude enemies and walk through many things. Try it out!

After entering Vanish Cap Under the Moat before the blue switch has been pressed.
130

Welcome to the Metal Cap Switch Course! Once you step on the Cap Switch, the green blocks will become solid. When you turn your body into metal with the Metal Cap, you can walk underwater! Try it!

Whoa, Mario, pal, you aren't trying to cheat, are you? Shortcuts aren't allowed. Now, I know that you know better. You're disqualified! Next time, play fair!

The penguin in the cottage if you arrived at the end first, but cheated.
133

Am I glad to see you! The Princess...and I...and, well, everybody...we're all trapped inside the castle walls.

Bowser has stolen the castle's Stars, and he's using their power to create his own world in the paintings and walls.

Please recover the Power Stars! As you find them, you can use their power to open the doors that Bowser has sealed.

There are four rooms on the first floor. Start in the one with the painting of Bob-omb inside. It's the only room that Bowser hasn't sealed. When you collect eight Power Stars, you'll be able to open the door with the big star. The Princess must be inside!

The toad in the castle foyer.
134

The names of the Stars are also hints for finding them. They are displayed at the beginning of each course. You can collect the Stars in any order. You won't find some Stars, enemies or items unless you select a specific Star. After you collect some Stars, you can try another course. We're all waiting for your help!

The toad in the room with the painting to JRB.
135

It was Bowser who stole the Stars. I saw him with my own eyes!


He's hidden six Stars in each course, but you won't find all of them in some courses until you press the Cap Switches. The Stars you've found will show on each course's starting screen.


If you want to see some of the enemies you've already defeated, select the Stars you recovered from them.

The toad in the room with the painting to WF.
136

Wow! You've already recovered that many Stars? Way to go, Mario! I'll bet you'll have us out of here in no time!

Be careful, though. Bowser and his band wrote the book on ”bad.“ Take my advice: When you need to recover from injuries, collect coins. Yellow Coins refill one piece of the Power Meter, Red Coins refill two pieces, and Blue Coins refill five.

To make Blue Coins appear, pound on Blue Coin Blocks.

Also, if you fall from high places, you'll minimize damage if you Pound the Ground as you land.

The toad in the maze-like room with the paintings to LLL and SSH in the basement of the castle.
137

Thanks, Mario! The castle is recovering its energy as you retrieve Power Stars, and you've chased Bowser right out of here, on to some area ahead. Oh, by the by, are you collecting coins? Special Stars appear when you collect 100 coins in each of the 15 courses!

You've recovered one of the stolen Power Stars! Now you can open some of the sealed doors in the castle. Try the Princess's room on the second floor and the room with the painting of Whomp's Fortress on Floor 1. Bowser's troops are still gaining power, so you can't give up. Save us, Mario! Keep searching for Stars!

After collecting a total of 1 star.
142

You've recovered three Power Stars! Now you can open any door with a 3 on its star.

You can come and go from the open courses as you please. The enemies ahead are even meaner, so be careful!

After collecting a total of 3 stars.
143

You've recovered eight of the Power Stars! Now you can open the door with the big Star! But Bowser is just ahead...can you hear the Princess calling?

After collecting a total of 8 stars.
144

You've recovered 30 Power Stars! Now you can open the door with the big Star! But before you move on, how's it going otherwise? Did you pound the two columns down? You didn't lose your hat, did you? If you did, you'll have to stomp on the condor to get it back! They say that Bowser has sneaked out of the sea and into the underground. Have you finally cornered him?

After collecting a total of 30 stars.
145

You've recovered 50 Power Stars! Now you can open the Star Door on the third floor. Bowser's there, you know.

Oh! You've found all of the Cap Switches, haven't you? Red, green and blue? The Caps you get from the colored blocks are really helpful. Hurry along, now. The third floor is just ahead.

After collecting a total of 50 stars.
146

You've found 70 Power Stars! The mystery of the endless stairs is solved, thanks to you--and is Bowser ever upset! Now, on to the final bout!

After collecting a total of 70 stars.
147

Are you using the Cap Blocks? You really should, you know.


To make them solid so you can break them, you have to press the colored Cap Switches in the castle's hidden courses. You'll find the hidden courses only after regaining some of the Power Stars.

The Cap Blocks are a big help! Red for the Wing Cap, green for the Metal Cap, blue for the Vanish Cap.

The sign in the room with the painting to JRB.
148

Snowman Mountain ahead. Keep out! And don't try the Triple Jump over the ice block shooter.


If you fall into the freezing pond, your power decreases quickly, and you won't recover automatically. //--The Snowman

Welcome to Princess Toadstool's secret slide! There's a Star hidden here that Bowser couldn't find. When you slide, press forward to speed up, pull back to slow down. If you slide really fast, you'll win the Star!

Waaaa! You've flooded my house! Wh-why?? Look at this mess! What am I going to do now?

The ceiling's ruined, the floor is soaked...what to do, what to do? Huff... huff...it makes me so... MAD!!! Everything's been going wrong ever since I got this Star...It's so shiny, but it makes me feel... strange...

After entering the Wiggler's home in THI.
151

I can't take this anymore! First you get me all wet, then you stomp on me! Now I'm really, really, REALLY mad! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

After hitting the Wiggler in THI for the first time.
152

Owwch! Uncle! Uncle! Okay, I give. Take this Star! Whew! I feel better now. I don't really need it anymore, anyway-- I can see the stars through my ceiling at night. They make me feel... ...peaceful. Please, come back and visit anytime.

After defeating the Wiggler in THI.
153

Hey! Who's there? What's climbing on me? Is it an ice ant? A snow flea? Whatever it is, it's bugging me! I think I'll blow it away!

After climbing onto the icy platform on Snowman Mountain in SL.
154

Hold on to your hat! If you lose it, you'll be easily injured. If you lose it, look for it in the course where you lost it. Speaking of lost, the Princess is still stuck in the walls somewhere. Please help, Mario!

Oh, you know that there are secret worlds in the walls as well as in the paintings, right?

The toad in the room to HMC in the basement of the castle, except for the first time you speak, in which case the text has ID 82.
155

Thanks to the power of the Stars, life is returning to the castle. Please, Mario, you have to give Bowser the boot!

Here, let me tell you a little something about the castle. In the room with the mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in the mirror. And when you go to the water town, you can flood it with a high jump into the painting.

Watch out! Don't let yourself be swallowed by quicksand.


If you sink into the sand, you won't be able to jump, and if your head goes under, you'll be smothered. The dark areas are bottomless pits.

The sign at the front of the Tox Box Maze in SSL.
158

1. If you jump repeatedly and time it right, you'll jump higher and higher. If you run really fast and time three jumps right, you can do a Triple Jump. 2. Jump into a solid wall, then jump again when you hit the wall. You can bounce to a higher level using this Wall Kick.

Mario!!! It that really you??? It has been so long since our last adventure! They told me that I might see you if I waited here, but I'd just about given up hope! Is it true? Have you really beaten Bowser? And restored the Stars to the castle? And saved the Princess? I knew you could do it! Now I have a very special message for you. ”Thanks for playing Super Mario 64! This is the end of the game, but not the end of the fun. We want you to keep on playing, so we have a little something for you. We hope that you like it! Enjoy!!!“

The Super Mario 64 Team

Said by Yoshi on the roof of the castle.
162

No, no, no! Not you again! I'm in a great hurry, can't you see?

I've no time to squabble over Stars. Here, have it. I never meant to hide it from you... It's just that I'm in such a rush. That's it, that's all. Now, I must be off. Owww! Let me go!

After catching MIPS for the second time.
163

Noooo! You've really beaten me this time, Mario! I can't stand losing to you!

My troops...worthless! They've turned over all the Power Stars! What?! There are 120 in all???

Amazing! There were some in the castle that I missed??!!


Now I see peace returning to the world... Oooo! I really hate that! I can't watch-- I'm outta here! Just you wait until next time. Until then, keep that Control Stick smokin'! Buwaa ha ha!

After defeating Bowser in BitS with 120 Stars.
164

Mario! What's up, pal? I haven't been on the slide lately, so I'm out of shape. Still, I'm always up for a good race, especially against an old sleddin' buddy. Whaddya say? Ready...set...
