Topic: Mario 64 Questions and Speculation (Possible I guess Spoilers not really)

[Spak-Spang]

I have two questions, for all you Super Mario 64 DS players.

1)How many of the minigames have you opened, and what are the requirements to unlock them?  

I am speculating that the rabbits keep reappearing outside after you obtain a certain number of stars and are outside with the right character to catch them, but I am not sure if thats how it really works or not.

2)The Fourth character door in Princess Peach's room...who is that for?  I am speculating its a hidden character that you either get after collecting all the stars or beat the game the first time.  But whom is the hidden character?  What are your best guesses?

My best guess would be Princess Peach because after you beat the game you would have saved her.  She would also be a very interesting character to control in 3D with her float jump manuever and therefore could be very different from the others.

However, it could also be something very cool and crazy like throwing in WALUIGI or Toad.  A unique character with totally new play mechanics very explored before.

What are your thoughts?

Um...idk about number 2, but as for number 1, each character has like 14 bunnies to catch...Yoshi's first three are outside, you're right, but most of them are roaming around the castle...I've got 6 Yoshi games, 7 Mario games, and since I have yet to unlock Wario and Luigi, I'm still stuck with 2 for each of them.

I just unlocked Luigi.  Search all over the Ghost House for him  (Figures Nintendo would do an inside joke like that.)

Anyway, yeah I have found a few more minigames.  Luigi's are quite hard to find though.

I am at 40 something stars, and still having a blast with this game.  

[kirby_killer_dedede]

Same here, this is my first real experience with SM64, and I've got 44 stars.  Thanks for the tip.

And if someone could tell me how to beat In to the Igloo...

[Switchblade Cross]

I could tell you what is in the 4th door, but you'd just be dissapointed...

[Spak-Spang]

In the Igloo I don't remember yet.  I don't know if I have gotten there.  I have simply been systematically beating the levels as completely as I can with the characters I find.

SwitchBlade:  From what you just said it sounds like Nintendo did something stupid like just making a door for Yoshi to make it easier to switch between all the characters.  

**Sigh**

[kirby_killer_dedede]

Ha.

And I'm still not finding Luigi, just Luigi hats...

[Spak-Spang]

Kirby:  Go into the Ghost house.  Go upstairs and go into the door all the way on the right.  Now find the feather to turn Mario into a balloon  (Use Mario it makes it easier.)

Now float up back towards the door you entered the room in and find a hidden door.  Walk Enter and explore, you will find a Luigi painting.

Enter the painting, and get ready to get lost.  You have to navigate through a maze, and if you mess up you start over, but at least you can't die from falling.  

Note this section is alot like the lost woods in Ocarina of Time.

Yeah, sorry, I should've added that I found it like within ten seconds of that post...:-D

This is why the DS has stereo sound.  You just listen to where the boo's "voice" is coming from and follow that through the respective doors.  No need to get lost.
