Snowman’s Land 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.
This hidden world can be found in the mirror room on the first floor.
In the mirror, you will see a painting of a snowy landscape that does not exist on your side.
Jump into the wall to enter the level.
Mission 1: Snowman’s Big Head
After entering the level, head up to the right and circle around the mountain
until you reach the icy lake.
Use the narrow path over the water to continue.
Watch out for the snowmen that try to push you off — it’s best to jump past them.
Follow the path upward until you reach a tree, then continue to the top.
There you will find the snowman’s head, which will try to blow you away.
Use the nearby penguin as cover from the wind.
Stay behind it and move carefully forward.
Once you reach the top, perform a jump to grab the star.
Mission 2: Chill with the Bully
From the starting point, head up to the right toward the small hill with a tree.
You will find a Bully there.
Jump onto the platform using a long jump (Z + A) and push the Bully into the icy water.
Using jump kicks (A + B) makes this easier.
Mission 3: In the Deep Freeze
This mission is unlocked after defeating Bowser.
From the starting point, head left toward the ice maze.
Find the entrance on the safe (non-slippery) side.
Inside, jump repeatedly until you locate a hole above.
Use a backflip (Z + A) to reach a higher platform.
Then exit the maze and find another opening from above.
Drop down through it to reach the star.
Mission 4: Whirl from the Freezing Pond
Circle around the mountain again to reach the icy lake.
A sign warns you about the water and climbing the wall.
Walk across the narrow path until you reach the area with the spinning enemies in the water.
Jump on one of them to gain extra height.
Use this boost to reach the ledge above.
Break the left box to reveal the star.
Mission 5: Shell Shreddin‘ for Red Coins
From the start, head right toward the trees to collect the first coin.
Continue along the edge of the level.
Two coins are located near the Bully platform and can be collected later.
Go to the icy lake and climb the wall again using the spinning enemies.
This time, break the right box to obtain a Koopa Shell.
Use the shell to glide across the ice and collect the remaining Red Coins around the level.
After collecting all eight coins, the star appears near the starting area.
Mission 6: Into the Igloo
You need the Vanish Cap for this mission.
Get the Koopa Shell again and ride across the icy lake.
Follow the trail of coins upward until you reach a fence.
Jump over it and enter the igloo.
Inside, navigate the maze carefully.
Follow the path: straight → right → left → right twice → left.
Reach the Vanish Cap block, activate it, and return to the entrance.
The star is located there.
Extra: Collect 100 Coins
Collect 100 coins to receive an additional star. There are 116 coins available:
- 8 Red Coins (= 16 Yellow Coins)
- 57 coins from enemies
- 15 coins scattered around the level
- 28 coins inside the igloo
