@@nickgreatpwrful5754 even sonic adventure and crash 2 are better, and they have a problem when turning around due to having mostly fixed to fixed camera and being designed towards the screen as mostly linear levels. But being linear avoids the bigger issues of early 3d camera. Also sa1 sonic controls better than 64 mario, the floatier jump makes platforming much easier.
Stars like this make me appreciate the DS version, that removed most of these secret missions, in favour of the MUCH more enjoyable Silver Star mission!
I'm doing this mission right now, and I only need one more secret coin to get, but the camera angles make it frustrating to get without falling to the bottom.
If you stand on all 4 pillars and enter the pyramid through the top, it brings you right to where the 5 coins are. For me the third lowest coin was murderous. If you do it this way, all you have to do is jump off the elevator directly at the third coin, it’s very easy to do. Then after that I just double backed, went back up top to get the other 2.....Someone said backflipping works though so maybe that’s the easiest way. Either way, it was very gratifying outsmarting the game
I actually just managed this star in one go O_O Without losing any lives...somehow I fell 3 times by accident and landed on one of the platforms with a coins each time XD
An okay tutorial. Helped me figure that out after scavenging the Pyramid. Did you do the whole 120 thing in a single setting? If so I'd imagine you wanted to break Mario's little mustache face by the end of it XD
I could not land on third platform for my life, after about a hundred try’s I figured out that backflipping off each one is the easiest way, first play through of this game btw, on n64
OMG DUDE YOU JUST SAVED ME FROM LOSING IT!! I’ve never been able to do that level (barely even got this far into the game to do it) and I used the backflips like you said and finally did it!! It’s been driving me crazy trying to get this one probably since the first lockdown. THANK YOU !!!
@Eli Marshall for starters you cant traverse the level on surface due to all the quicksand, the red coin level makes you use the absolutely aids wing cap, in pyramids you cant control the camera well, the shity bird that takes your hat, the red coin that is behind your spawn that if you dont look behind you will most likely not be found, its just cancer
@Eli Marshall yeah I'm on the 6th star already and I lost a few times, but it really isn't as bad. Maybe it was difficult for me back then because I was a kid lol
This took me an hour and a half lol. Strictly from not being able to see anything, after getting the star I didn't get it the first time on the conveyer belt either and almost died in the quick sand lol. By far the worst level in 64 just because of the camera angles it shouldve been tested more
I lost my hat today thinking I was gonna get it back because it never happened I hit bird and it land just on the bottom of the pillar just blending in with it so close to where auto kill sand was. Incredibly pissed that it stayed there lol
MrGamingZone there’s less framerate drops, a bit more input lag, and the video is a bit fuzzier (its 480i instead of 240p if you understand). The big benefit is obviously getting to use a gamecube controller because of VC.
@@berrycool3433 it is possible to play this game on nearly every device that came out after the n64 if necessary actions are taken. The game has been officially released for n64, wii, wii u, and switch recently. But you could mod other consoles that aren't even nintendo and play the game on it. You could even play it on your phone if you want to
@@MrGamingZone sorry for the late reply. As the other person replied, the game would look somewhat fuzzier, and a sort of delayed functionality (not that noticable). As for controllers, i use the wiimote nunchuck, which makes it a lot more difficult. The jump button is A, of course, and the interact button (talking to npcs, hitting and diving) is the + button. The other controlls are symmetric to the n64s. It only becomes harder on a wii mote because the A and + buttons are not easy to use simultaneously, so it needs some getting used to. The good part is as the other person said is that u can use a gamecube controller, and/or use an emulating service that allows for other controllers on the wii
I love this fucking game. Truly one of the greatest video games of time. Super Mario 64. The music is so good in this game. Koji Kondo is an epic composer 🎼!
You don't move the camera controls up and down. The camera controls are: C left - rotate left C right - rotate right C up - zoom in C down - zoom out where there are three levels of zoom - far, regular, and right behind his head. R - change camera mode between Lakitu and Mario or Lakitu and Stationary depending on the start menu option.
That 3rd coin is giving me issues. Edit: After countless hours. I have given up. Mario just either overshoots it, bumps his head or just falls off the first platform.
+Connor Y Yeah I Know mate!. I couldn't careless about them. They had problems with this level as well. And the strangest thing is they had to look my walkthrough on web to find out how to get the star.
This was the one world I was dreading going back to in 3D All-Stars
It was awful but just one more might as well finish it
Least favourite bro 😂
This is my final star besides the 100 coin one. After this, F this course!
Same
That's the point lol I had less trouble with this as an adult now, but as a kid omfg rage quitting was real 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely loathe the angles in Mario 64 (yes, I know to rearrange them)...but sometimes I can't see what the heck I'm doing...
thats what happens when theres no second analog stick. be glad we live in 2019.
I’m late but I JUST did this level. This was the most irritating shit since ghostbusters 2016
I think the emphasis on this level was the angles and what the console was capable of at the time

Ha, wait till you get to Tick Tock Clock. You'll wish you were doing this puzzle again.
@@spimpsmacker6422 nope this one is worse
I found the four pillars star pretty fun actually
What about Wet Dry World?
@@FlubbyVR that course easy asf no cap
The camera is so garbage inside the pyramid, omg
Replaying Mario 64 on Switch, I’ve noticed the camera in general is what has aged the worst but other then that the game is still great.
@@marcellocalbesi I agree 100%. Even banjo-kazooie, released just two years later, is a collossal improvement in camera controls
@@marcellocalbesiI wish there was an option to have more modern day camera systems
I know. Whenever I wanna climb to the top I fall down like a thousand times

Yeah I agree with you 100%
Exactly I grew up on the ds version even though i struggled on some levels as a kid but god that was the best version for me haha...
No way making a game easier is more enjoyable somehow
Why can't it just give me the star??? Why does it have to appear half way across the level???
Ikr it’s fucking annoying
I know you're getting all these 3D All-Stars comments but man your videos are really helping me out. Thanks so much!!
This entire world is a dumpster fire.
yep it is.
Glad im not the only one that thinks that
shifting sand land sucks
I'm doing this mission right now, and I only need one more secret coin to get, but the camera angles make it frustrating to get without falling to the bottom.
I’m dreading getting 100 coins on this level.
How the hell was a kid going to do this in 1996 without a guide
Trust me and it was annoying lol.
Skill my brother
We met up at each other’s houses and played til our palms bled from the joystick
I was never good at these secret things
The camera is so, so absolutely atrocious in the pyramid.
Thank you for making these walkthroughs. They're extremely helpful!
Your welcome!. Im glad to help.

The camera issue was painful in this one 😂
mission is get 5 coins inside the pyramid
Tip: use the sand fall thingy to determine where to jump. The 2nd coin is just left of the sand fall, and the 3rd coin is just right of it.
Cheers for the tip
Oh snap I never thought that those first three goombas were so important.
vcrbetamax lol XD

Oh god yes

Ok probably you need to buy a lotery ticket
Yes
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That damn third coin gave me absolute hell. You earned my like and a new subscriber!
Nintendo why
WHYYY (NINTENDO) WHYYYYYY
If you triple jump at the ground under the pole, it's a lot easier.
This level is really fun to play but the so called "angles" and one shot quick sand are what makes this level one of the levels players most hate
thank you so much! I was stuck on this level for more than a month because of some stars but I am very close to 120 Stars all thanks to you!
No proble, glad to help!
They replaced the coins with silver stars in SM64DS to make things easier to understand. Smart.
Nice art btw
Am I the only one who likes this world?

Those electric circles are called amps. They are annoying enemies when you are trying to move arround. Thanks for the comment! :)
This level even harder than last boss fight
Honestly shifting sand land is the worst level in super Mario 64 I wonder how this got approved
@Eli Marshall for starters you cant traverse the level on surface due to all the quicksand, the red coin level makes you use the absolutely aids wing cap, in pyramids you cant control the camera well, the shity bird that takes your hat, the red coin that is behind your spawn that if you dont look behind you will most likely not be found, its just cancer

@Eli Marshall 70% of the fucking ground will instakill you for simply stepping on it, you don't see anything wrong with that?
There’s a level called wet dry world I don’t know if you guys know it exists but it’s way worse than shifting
@@miskeaping6397 , hard disagree. Wet-Dry is a cakewalk compared to this level.
God fucking damn this challenge took me for fucking ever. I fell a million times.
+ProtagonistNonTheist This challenge is the hardest is the game. It took me a couple of time as well. Thanks for Commenting! :)
90s kids that didn't have youtube. How did you do it?
they went to hell to ask the designer of this course, satan.

This game has not aged well.
I love that half of the people here in the comments now are people that are playing 3D All-Stars
I HATE THIS STAR ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE LEVEL!!! THIS MADE IT NO EASIER!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Edit: Two years later, still too difficult. 😂
Like everyone else does
This took me an hour and a half lol. Strictly from not being able to see anything, after getting the star I didn't get it the first time on the conveyer belt either and almost died in the quick sand lol.
By far the worst level in 64 just because of the camera angles it shouldve been tested more
Yeah very true
Yeah thank god for that. That bird is annoying to get the hat back from him. Did you ever lose your hat in the shifting sand land.
Yes
I lost my hat today thinking I was gonna get it back because it never happened I hit bird and it land just on the bottom of the pillar just blending in with it so close to where auto kill sand was. Incredibly pissed that it stayed there lol

Yeah this was a pain in the ass for me to, as you could see.

Guess I'm the only psychopath who likes this level. I don't "love" it, but I don't hate it either.🤷🏻
I'm surprised and proud of myself that I did this first try..
well done
I watched this video or one like this one when I was a child and I was mesmerized but didn't know what the game was so this is nice.
I love this fucking game. Truly one of the greatest video games of time. Super Mario 64. The music is so good in this game. Koji Kondo is an epic composer 🎼!
thanks but 1 problem how do you use the camera on a emulator cuz if i try to use the camera i end up walking off..
You don't move the camera controls up and down. The camera controls are:
C left - rotate left
C right - rotate right
C up - zoom in
C down - zoom out
where there are three levels of zoom - far, regular, and right behind his head.
R - change camera mode between Lakitu and Mario or Lakitu and Stationary depending on the start menu option.
That 3rd coin is giving me issues.
Edit: After countless hours. I have given up. Mario just either overshoots it, bumps his head or just falls off the first platform.
this fucking star, i swear to god
I didnt realize a hundred stars in this level might prove a problem
How can people speed run all stars.... this is so hard!
Yeah I know, it’s crazy.
thank you very much my friend helped me a lot
Your welcome, glad to have helped.
This star makes me want to do the commit die.
thanks for uploading this contnent I was stuck
Your welcome mate 😀
Me too I needed this star to complete the whole downstairs area of the castle
I’m here bc of Super Mario all-Stars 3D
64 Stars in Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64
You can tell this is a bad star when this video has over 200,000 views.
thanks mate! :)
I did not remember how shitty the camera was until i replayed this scenario
I want to eliminate Lakitu for ruining my jumps here.
I like shifting sand land but it is probably the most annoying level in a few ways
I can get away with sucking at this mission because it wasn’t even _in_ the version I grew up with, lol.
No wonder I didn’t recognise its name-
I struggled in this level so much it was annoying worse than cool cool mountain.
Thanks bro
your welcome
How do people find this stuff out?
Getting the 100 coin star here sucked so much ass.
Hey, fancy seeing you here, lol.
@@thediscodevil0949 Lemme guess, trying to 100% the game?
How can this guy not do a lateral jump? Takes him like 15 tries around 1:20
No offense, but it looks like your controls are extremely clunky. Is this because you're using emulation and not original hardware?
No it’s because this star is s pain in the ass control about.
No contest. Worst level in Super Mario 64
i agree
Tbh I'd say about 1/3 of this game is annoying to some degree, and some particular missions are purely trollish and are there just to f with you.
I like the level a lot. I know the camera has Its problems regardless of it, the level is good.
thanks that helps a lot
Glad it helped
Useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Cant believe he still replies to comments, really useful guides, kudos to you

Man this gotta be the hardest mission of this level,
also its a bit harder since i use a playstation 4 controller to play super mario 64
o1o1o1 how do you even do that?

Tell me about it
All of shifting sand land is so difficult
Wtf were they on making this level 💀
I know right 😂
I was so close I beat up my Mario 64 on my N64
Cool
Thanks
I always wondered why those black dots are there at 4:12 are. Can anyone tell me?
Those black dots are the elevator dots that is used for boss star.

There a faster way to get to the pyramid and there is a free man in it
Shifting Sand Land is honestly the worst course in this game
Yeah it can be for some people
This took me blood sweat tears to complete
Yeah this star annoyed me.
