Introduction
-----------------
    You know that old game Mario 64, that you probably haven't played in
forever? Then either you hate that game or you have'nt found out these
cool things and challenges. Oh, but you beat it? Well good, because some
of these challenges take a master to master. :) So find that game in the
bottom of the pile, stick it in you 64, and read on!!!!!

-----------------
Fun Stuff to Do
-----------------

   1. After getting 120 stars, the cannon in the courtyard(by the pond)
opens up, and you can get on top of the roof. Here you can:

  -Get 100 lives from Yoshi and see him commit suicide
  -Go into the Dark Room of Death
  -Prove to your parents that you can fall off the roof and still
live          (with a few minor injuries:)

  2. You know the peguin, the one that you race? Well after you collect
120 stars, you can race him again, exept he is super-fat!

  3. After you beat the game (you don't have to collect the stars) then
in the place where you are talking to Peach, plug in another controller
in slot 2, and you can control the screen with the analog. You can do
this with the credits, too.

  4. After you get 120 stars, you can access the Dark Room of Death!! I
don't know why we named it that, it's just a minor glitch, really. OK,
go into the cannon in the courtyard, and shoot yourself up and get the
Winged Cap. Jump back down, go back to the cannon, and then aim for the
highest tower, right in the middle. Then ram yourself smack-dab into the
center of it. Sometimes you will go in it, sometimes you won't. If you
don't, just try jumping in it a few times. You'll be in a black room.
Pretty cool, huh?. But can you find the way out? There's a solution, try
jumping around.

  5. It's always fun to race the turtles and the penguin, and Princess's
slide. Try to beat these Hi Scores: (DO NOT E-mail me if you beat these.
These are without cheating!)

1. First Turtle Race: 0'52"12
2. Princess Slide: 0'20"21 (cheating: 0'14"42)
I'll get some more up later.

 6. In the lava level, select star 6, and get the turtle shell at the
beggining. Then goto the sliding puzzle of Bowser. You can go right
under the pieces without losing you shell. You can also jump strait
through them!

-----------------
Challenges
-----------------

 1. In Bob-omb Battlefield, go to the 6th star. Go past the bridge, and
find the turtle. Take his shell, go past the Chomp, past the bridge, and
all the way up the mountain- WITHOUT losing the shell. When on the
summit, jump off as far as you can, and you should land back and the
start. Do this over and over. I can easily do it about 5 times, my
record is 8.

 2. Get the shell in the Lethal Lava Land. Try to find all four stars
(don't get them) and then get as many caoins as you can. I don't think
you can get all 100, you might need to jump into the volcano.

 3. See 5 in Fun Stuff

 4. Go to Little-Big Island, and get the shell there. Now try to climb
all the way up the hill. Not that hard, but fun!

-----------------
Tips
-----------------

  Every destroyable bad guy gives off a coin, and every coin means more
health. So if you get a coin, your health will rise, according to the
color. Yellows=1; Red=2 (8 reds=Star); and Blue=5. The easiest baddies
to kill are best when low on health, because you don't want to take
chances. When you see a wooden stake, run around it a few times and
coins will pop out. Sometimes bad guys give off more coins if defeated
in certain ways, like a Big Goomba will give a Blue Coin when
butt-slammed, instead of the regular Yellow Coin. The best way to refill
your health is to find a pool of water, and swim up tot the surface.
Remember these tips, because you need 100 coins to get the 7th star from
every level. It's neccasary.

Ok, it was a pretty small FAQ. But it gives you about an hour extra
playtime for that game. I pity you if you don't have 120 stars, tsk tsk.
