"Super Mario 64 - Several Years On"

I still play this game. And I have a few questions:

1) Can the Mad Piano in Big Boo's Haunt be killed?
2) What's this "Secret Room" at the top of the Castle?
3) Can you beat the Penguin's Race after getting all 120 Stars?
4) What's with that inscription on the fountain?

If anyone needs help with the game, just ask - I have all 120 Stars. Not that anyone WON'T have them all by now...

Forgive me here but what the hell is a DS?

Nintendo own all of Rare's back catalogue... Rare own the rights to the various franchises aka Conker, Banjo and Perfect Dark.

Rare have a specialist GBA team that have produced 3 GBA games in the past year...

More than X-box games.

But if Conker's Bad Fur Day is coming to the Xbox, then I think that the rest of Rare's back catalogue might.

Having said that, Nintendo refused to publish Conker, so perhaps that's why Rare can re-use that one.

Didn't Ninty publish Perfect Dark? If so, then how can they make a Perfect Dark 0?

Rare own the franchise, but Nintendo own the rights to the original Perfect Dark game on the N64.

That means that Rare could make a NEW Perfect Dark with the same characters and trademarks, but can't re-release the N64 version without Nintendo's permission.

So theoretically, Rare could do a Perfect Dark port over to the DS.. Are Rare supporting it? Surely if they're supporting the GBA..?

I still don't get that. Rareware are actually part of Microsoft Game Studios, but they work on a Nintendo machine still? Weird.

It is clever to mention which level you are talking about and what number the star is

iv got avry singel star in the lavels!and a lot of secret stars.

You know that slide near the beginning of the game?

You find it by jumping through a Princess stain glass window.
You'll have the star for going down it, but to get the second you need to beat it within a time limit.

That's the one I think you're missing.


If it's not that then make sure you've found all the red coins in the Bowser and switch levels.
Talk to every Toadstool. Some of them are holding one for you.
Catch the yellow rabbit twice. I'm sure you've done that one.
In the room with the shipwreck picture there's a hole in each side of the wall. One gets you an extra life, the other leads into a fish tank with 8 red coins.

You know the rainbow level, how it's a hole instead of a painting?
On the other side of the room is another hole. It leads to a bonus level with clouds and red coins.

That's all the ones that come to mind for now...

ONE of them HAS to be it. :-)
