The hardest stars in Super Mario 64: Every god damn star in Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Ride.

Hardest star for me was easily getting the 100 coins in tick tock clock. So many deaths, so much rage, never again...

4:25 if you wanna skip the intro, thank me later

Did anybody else drop that Damn baby penguin off the snow map?

To be fair, you made Cruiser Cross the Rainbow way more difficult for yourself than it needed to be

I thought you said you weren't going to count red coin stars.

Metal Head Mario Can Move! made the top 10? All 5 on your honorable mentions list are worlds harder than that star.. It's completely doable without jumping down the hill. Just run the path, you'll have plenty of time. Also, the penguin race is harder than the Tall Tall Mountain slide if you ask me. The slide itself isn't bad, but that penguin is real friendly with the devil himself.

You just contradicted the fact that you said no coin-based stars....rank 1..

The most difficult star to get for me is trying to get 100 coins for the clock course.

video starts at 3:22 . That's sad. I didn't come here for a 3 minute introductory about your channel, and what your about to explain. Don't explain that its a top 10 hardest stars, we can see that in the title. just jump right in. please consider these things, if you want more subs. good list though.

Why does it take 4 minutes just to get the list? Nice list but don't have such a long intro

Since you did a coin star as number 1 THE hardest star without a doubt is the 100 coin star on Rainbow Ride if you screw up the blue coin switch you're SOL

10. Snowman's Big Head (Snowman's Land) 9. 20 Seconds or Less (Castle Secret Slide) 8. 100 Coins (Rainbow Ride) 7. Big Boo's Balcony (Big Boo's Haunt) 6. ELevator Tour in the Volcano (Lethal Lava Land) 5. Stomp the Thwomp (Tick Tock Clock) 4. Blast Away to the Lonely Mushroom (Tall, Tall Mountain) 3. Wing Mario Over the Rainbow 2. Vanish Cap Under the Moat 1. Big Pengiun Race (Cool, Cool Mountain)

ticktock clock 100 coin is a pain in the ass

with the metal head Mario, I just got near the switch and pounded it from above the water

1. Agreed- Elevator Tour in the Volcano and 2. Wall Kicks Will Work

Theres this thing, its called "Honorable Mentions"

im sorry, but half of the stars on this list aren't hard. you must suck at Mario 64.

My right ear enjoyed that.

Regardless of the fact that I've played through this game so many times that every star is a piece of cake, I clicked on it anyway bc I just love this game so much. You're list is accurate for people who haven't played though the game 250+ times, good job.

my only issue with this list is in the next 5, shoot into the wild blue is maybe the easiest star in the whole game (besides toads) with a side flip wall jump

The peach slide secret star where you have to finish in under 21 seconds is one of the hardest.

God ur intros are long...

The hardest world imo was tall tall mountain next would be little/big world(forgot the name) and third would be tick tock clock. Some of the stars for these were just unmerciful

I'd replace a few of these with "Tricky Triangles, Blast to the Lonely Mushroom, and Big Penguin Race". Otherwise good picks.

“No Red Coin Stars” puts that cloud stage at #1

SM64 is the first game you ever played? How old are you? Also, how did that wall jump in Big Boo's Haunt not make the list? That was *by far* the hardest thing to pull off in the game.

I got 103 stars when I was about 8-9 years old and I found it once again and now I must get all stars....

What about Rematch against Koopa the Quick? That's always a hard one - gave me a lot of trouble as a child.

With number 2 and 3, you're making it harder than it actually is. When you go to the cruiser, you don't have to run over the platform. You can simply just jump over the expansions. Also when getting to the big house, you don't have to jump on the falling platforms. If you time it right, you can use a backjump to get on the glassblock.

#10 - you don't need metal Mario to get the star. Long jump. Ground Pound.

Also on "Shoot to the Wild Blue" you can wall jump off the wall.

I'm surprised that the 4 star from Tinny Huge Island 5 secrets is not on the the list.

Those dire dire levels aint hard😂

Plunder in the sunken ship: there's a small air pocket at the top corner you can go get air from while trying to open the chests

Dude i freakin love this! Subbed ✌

I feel accomplished that 4 through 10 and the next 5 I completed in my initial 70 stars to beat the final bowser. I think one of the hardest for me was Eye to Eye in the Secret Room because of the damned wall jump that has to be pretty much done on the first try because of the damned invisi cap timer. It just got super frustrating despite not dying

#2, seriously? Blast to the Lonely Mushroom for Stage 12 is waaaay more frustrating. Unlike Somewhere Over the Rainbow, BttLM has NOTHING to grab on and it's pratically impossible to actually land on the mushroom itself without slipping off. Basically you are forced to aim for the star itself.

You deserve more subscribers.

Are you kidding me.. You ONLY HAVE 2,000 SUBSCRIBERS?And 43 back then? Holy shit, you should of had atleast a few thousand back then, and atleast 50k.

literally none of these are hard

my right ear really enjoyed it

For shoot into the wild blue just triple jump and then wall kick, no cannon required, makes your like *a lot* easier. But with the cannon ye it's actually pretty hard unless you retry the star a lot after you collected it to get better at the positioning.

This video was really entertaining and well made , beside some little things, great editing, interesting personality and enjoyable voice. Overall great video. Keep on doing them , your effort pays off. Please keep on doing your work.

And the boo one you are supposed to crawl up the roof. That's the only use for the crawl ability.

"The coin stars aren't included in this top ten" *proceeds to use coin stars in top ten*

man... one of the hardest stars is eye to eye on the secret room... i think

um, at the beginning of the video, you said no red coin based levels, and yet, number 1 is a red coin level.

I have beaten mario 64!

Total respect for your list and video. However, for me: 1. 100 coins Rainbow Ride 2. Wing Mario over the Rainbow 3. 100 coins Tick Tock Clock 4. Princess Peach slide (under 21 seconds) 5. 100 coins Shifting Sand Land

8 red coins in the dessert? Anyone?

On the rainbow carpet ride, the first flamethrower is high enough that you can crouch under it to keep from getting burned.

10. Oh gosh yeah that part is soooo frustrating!!!! 9. I use to have the chests memorized but recently when I played it again, I almost did die and it was hard to remember which order you open the chests. 8. Give me this one over the stupid Pinguin slide anyday. Yeah this one is hard, but at least it's fun and it's not a bloody race! 7. I actually found this one to easier because of the extra coins and I am very good at controlling Mario so that whirlpool didn't bother me that much. 6. I can see why this would hard for you, but for me it's a piece of cake because I am very patient and have great timing skills. 5. Definitely hard, but it's still alot of fun, but yes patience is key. 4. Oh gosh yes, this one is a NAIL BITER! One of the reasons why this level in general is a pain in the neck! 3. Seeing how this is the last level, I expected a challenge, well, needless to say I've yet to get these stars. So yeah, HARD!!! 2. I haven't even attempted this sucker, yeah that throw guy would send chills! 1. I have the players guide, and it even said this was the hardest star to get. Yeah I was too scarred to try it myself lol.

Not gonna deny that you are one hell of a KZfaqr :D Good pace, great voice, no extra clusterf**k in the videos... cudos to you my good sir (tips my hat at you) !!! The only nitpicky thing I personally felt - and keep in mind, this might just be me, and for the record, it's not a huge thing - but it's great that you wanna point out that you have a let's play of the game so that people know that this isn't just something someone put out there after watching someone else's let's play... but imho I think that you might have pointed it out a little too often... just saying... But hey, as I said, it's nitpicky, just trying to give constructive feedback :)

Dude, literally one of my first memories as a human is doing plunder the sunken ship, that is not hard

Shoot into the wild blue... a hard star?!? Ah yes...

3 mins of blablabla is my dislike reason

Fun fact: you don't need the metal cap to get the "metal Mario can move" star. You can double jump and then stomp on that switch. The water is shallow enough

*I think "tricky triangles" is worst in the rainbow world*

Well, i love this game and actually i love trying and trying. Also thank for taking this amount of time. Also i'm according to your top.

Most of these stars are easy.

wow.. this is so well done. Super Mario 64 was legit one my favorite video games as a kid, and this video brings back so much nostalgia. Good job on the making of this, I can tell lots of work went into it. :)

#2 is easy. It might just be because i'm good at the game, but you literally just have to aim in the middle of the rainbow.

Hey man, like you I'm also an aspiring KZfaqr. Just wanted to say that you made a pretty good video here! Hope you manage to find more subscribers and keep up the good work!

just saying, I do not thing mysterious mountain slide should be in the list..... Nintendo didn't intend this, but you can break the game and get the star without even going in the slide, just go to behind you from start, take the wind up, face towards the edge, you can see the star, jump down and kick, and bam star

Super Mario 64 is one of the greatest games ever. I got 120 stars multiple times, and just have many good memories of playing this game

Who else has grabbed every single coin in this game?

I only agreed with a few of these, mostly the ones near the top of the list. Here's my personal top 10, with no 100 coin stars, Bowser levels, or red coin stars included: 10. Mystery of the Monkey Cage. How many of us were tricked with that first monkey by the flying Shy Guy when we were younger? Actually climbing the mountain isn't so bad, but those two monkeys can burn. 9. Into the Igloo. The igloo portion itself is quite easy. Getting there without inadvertently missing and sliding down into the ice water is another matter. 8. Tricky Triangles! The switch doesn't give you much time to get to the star, but once you teach yourself to sneak in-between a couple of the triangles and master Mario's side-jump, it's not too bad. 7. Stomp on the Thwomp. The camera is the main enemy of this level as opposed to the platforming. That, and I find myself running into more invisible walls than I think I should be. 6. Navigating the Toxic Maze. The in-maze map that they provide really doesn't help, and since so much of the maze looks the same (at least as far as the walls are concerned), it's a little easy to go around in circles. 5. A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit. Same reason as #7, only for some reason it takes me longer to find the necessary door for this star. 4. Chests in the Current. As explained in the original video, the placement of the final chest makes this star far more difficult than one would assume. 3. Breathtaking View from the Bridge. Climbing the mountain is time-consuming, but managing to align your jumps properly at the end tends to trip me up more than I think it should. 2. Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow. IMHO, much harder than The Big House in the Sky. The level of platforming needed to get to the ship is more difficult. Even if the carpet disappears in the house, you can use the warp just outside of the house's interior in order to get back to the top of the red coin maze. 1. Somewhere Over the Rainbow. When I was younger, it took me forever to figure out that the pink Bomb-omb atop the maze was how you accessed the cannon. Throw into the mix the fact that you have to get to the ship in order to blast to the pole on the island, and you have not only my least favorite star, but also one of the more time-consuming ones.

Am I the only one who thinks that the eel is cute? :P

Great video one of my favorite video games for sure. Lol now do James bond Golden eye. You know you want too lol

as a speedrunner this makes me cringe

When you get to the ship in the Jolly Rogers level, there's an air pocket if you swim to the top of the ship near where the star is, so if your health gets low you can replenish by swimming up there.

I started playing a few days ago and now have 110 stars. I haven't done anything for Rainbow Ride yet, but I've done everything else up to that point, and personally, I agree with most of these, especially Stomp on the Whomp, but I think that you should have included something from Wet-Dry World, as there were a few hard ones there. Also, how do you do some of these without even dying once? I find that most of these stars I ended up dying multiple times on!

I think shooting to that lonely mushroom in tal tal mountain is a bigger pain than somewhere over the rainbow.

One in my top 10 not listed here is Bully The Bullies where its easy to get to the very last ones and then have them push you into the lava

As a speedrunner this is so fricking funny

Jesus Christttt I had to skip 3.5 mins into the video

In "plunder in the sunken ship," there's literally a little breathing spot inside the ship that's not far at all from the chests. That itself makes the star quite easy.

Jolly Roger Bay Level: there is a star where you MUST cannon blast yourself onto the smallest platform. Took me literally 100+ tries. It better be #1. You know the star I'm talking about!

Awesome video!!! So nostalgic for me. I kept yelling...."Oh my gods I hated that star!" Now I want to play the game.

I thought you said no red coin missions

you can ground pound above the switch in metal head mario as normal mario and it will trigger

I'm dissapointed that none of the 100 coin stars made it. The 100 coin star in Tick Tock Clock is, in my opinion, the hardest star in the game. Also the second star from Peach's secret slide, where you have to finish the course in under 21.0 seconds seems like it would have been a good one for this list too.

I got the mysterious mountainslide first try and I’m only ten!!!

Within the ship, there is actually a spot where you can get fresh air/health for free, greatly diminishing the danger of drowning.

most people are watching the playoffs and here I am watching top ten hardest stars to get in Mario 64!

I'm surprised that Blast to the Lonely Mushroom (from Tall, Tall Mountain) isn't here. You either get the correct angle or you die - no pole to grab onto or anything. And, getting to the pink Bob-Omb isn't all that easy either

As far as I can remember, inside the ship there's close to the star a small hole where you can refresh your health before giving it another try.

I totally forgot about those traumatic rainbow and tick tock clock platforming levels. but I am proud to say that I collected all 120 stars.

Definitely agree with your #1 spot. I was raging so hard lol.

#9 is so hard that Nintendo decided to make it easier in the DS remake, by only making the eel come out quickly and having only one chest to open, the "guess the correct chests" exists but in the 3rd mission.

Wing Mario Over the Rainbow was the last star I had to complete as a kid too. Took me weeks and a few rage quits. Glad to see it #1 on your list!

For star #1, I used to call Mario "Captain Mario" and thought of it as an airborn mission XD (childhood things) This is the best joysource I had in my childhood :3

"This is a troublesome" best KZfaq quote ever

You did an Excellent job with your count down!!! You can tell this took a long time to put together and it was very well made!!! And I also agree with your choices of the hardest levels. Unfortunately for me..ALL the levels in SM64 were hard😂😂 but great Job!!!!👍👍 I will check out your let's play

Here’s a tip. In plunder in the sunken ship at the very top there is a tiny bit of water for you to replenish your health

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I gotta go find a N64 now.

Not counting the gold and red coin stars was a smart move, because otherwise the entire video would just be that.

Nice video ! I hope you get more subscribers !

10. Snowman Lost His Head 9. Chests in the Current 8. Wiggler's 8 Red Coins 7. The Fucking Toxic Maze 6. Stomp on the Thwomp 5. Cruiser Crossing The Rainbow 4. Big House In The Sky 3. Somewhere Over The Rainbow 2. Wing Mario Over The Rainbow 1. Talking To Toad Just Kidding, it's racing the Big Penguin after 120 stars
