Cool, Cool Mountain Walkthrough

This Super Mario 64 Cool, Cool Mountain walkthrough shows you how to collect all Power Stars, including red coins, secrets, and slide challenges.

Follow step-by-step instructions for every mission, from Slip Slidin‘ Away to Wall Kicks Will Work. Learn how to complete the slide, win the penguin race, and master tricky platforming sections.

Whether you’re aiming for 100% completion or just need help with specific stars, this guide covers everything in Cool, Cool Mountain.

Mission 1: Slip Slidin‘ Away

After entering the level, you will be told that the ground is very slippery. Jump into the chimney to access the slide.

  • Press forward to accelerate
  • Press backward to brake

The course is challenging: after the first turn comes a jump with coins, followed by a right turn and a long left curve.
Brake before the sharp right turn to avoid falling off.

Shortcut: Follow the coins through the wall to skip the most dangerous section and earn an extra life.

At the end of the slide, the star awaits you.


Mission 2: Li’l Penguin Lost

Pick up the baby penguin near the chimney and bring it to its mother.

  • Drop down near the broken bridge
  • Use ledges to descend safely
  • Bring the baby to its mother at the bottom

You will receive a star as a reward.


Mission 3: Big Penguin Race

Jump into the chimney again and challenge the Big Penguin.

  • Important: Do not use shortcuts or you will be disqualified
  • Keep your line, as the penguin may push you

Win the race to earn the star.


Mission 4: Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins

Time to collect all eight Red Coins. Follow this route:

  • 1. On the tree at the starting area
  • 2. Drop from the broken bridge onto a lower platform
  • 3. At the end of the bridge, hidden behind a wall
  • 4. Near the mother penguin, on top of a tree
  • 5. Near the cannon after talking to the pink Bob-omb
  • 6. In a gap near the snowman area
  • 7. On the bridge near the jumping snowmen
  • 8. Drop again from the broken bridge and land on the lower platform

After collecting all eight coins, the star appears further along the path.
Use a long jump (Z + A) to reach it.


Mission 5: Snowman’s Lost His Head

Go to the area near the baby penguin and slide down. You will find a large snowball on a platform.
Talk to it — it is looking for its head.

Important: Do not take shortcuts, or the snowball will lose its path and the mission will fail.

  • Push the snowball and guide it down the correct path
  • Stay close to it
  • Avoid obstacles

At the bottom, position yourself behind the snowman head so the snowball rolls into it.
Once completed, the snowman rewards you with a star.


Mission 6: Wall Kicks Will Work

For this mission, you need to use both the cannon and your jumping skills.
Start by taking the shortcut near the broken bridge to reach the lower area quickly.

Go to the cannon opened by the pink Bob-omb:

  • Aim first at the tree for orientation
  • Then adjust towards the wall
  • Fire so you land close to the ground

After landing, head right along the narrow path and avoid enemies.

Now comes the difficult part:

  • Use long jumps (Z + A) to cross gaps
  • Perform wall kicks to reach higher areas
  • Combine triple jumps with wall kicks if needed

Tip: Use the nearby heart to recover health if needed.

At the end, cross the icy platform carefully to reach the star.


Extra: Collect 100 Coins

Collect 100 coins to receive an additional star. A total of 154 coins are available:

  • 77 coins on the slide
  • 8 Red Coins (= 16 Yellow Coins)
  • 2 Blue Coins (= 10 Yellow Coins)
  • 33 coins in the main area
  • 18 coins from enemies

Tip: Combine the slide run with collecting Red Coins for maximum efficiency.
