Hoot appears in five main courses in Super Mario 64 DS. Climb his tree to wake him, jump beneath his feet and hold the jump button to hang on. Steer during the flight and release the button to drop. In standard controls, use B.
Plan the landing before releasing: Hoot eventually tires and drops his passenger. His availability depends on the selected mission, so an empty tree during the first mission does not necessarily mean you have the wrong location.
Whomp’s Fortress
Missions three to seven. Climb the tree beside the starting area. Hoot is the intended way to reach the cage for Fall onto the Caged Island.
Cool, Cool Mountain
All missions. Look in the tree near the lower cabin, close to the slide exit and a Red Coin.
Snowman’s Land
Missions two to seven. Climb the outdoor tree with a Yellow Coin above it.
Tall, Tall Mountain
Missions two to seven. Climb the single tree near the starting area.
Tiny-Huge Island
Missions three to seven on the huge island. From the start, swim to the small island with the tree.
