Need help finding all 100 coins in Dire, Dire Docks for Super Mario 64? Follow our guide to grab every coin and earn that Power Star!
Alright, let's dive into Dire, Dire Docks and snag that 100 Coins star! This one's a bit of a coin hunt, as there are only 106 coins total in the level. That means you'll need to grab almost all of them. The good news? No enemies drop coins here, so you don't have to worry about missing any from them. You will, however, need to have completed "Bowser in the Fire Sea" to access all the Red Coins needed for this star.

When you first spawn into the level, look down and to your right. You'll see five coins sitting on a slope near the surface. Grab those! (5 coins)
- 2
Now, swim straight down from that spot. You'll find two columns of five coins each, stacked vertically. Go ahead and collect those. (15 coins total)
- 3
While you're still down on the floor, start swimming towards the tunnel. Keep an eye out near one of the chests; there are three coins just hanging out there. (18 coins total)
- 4
As you get closer to the tunnel entrance, you'll find two rings of coins, each with eight coins. Don't miss those! Then, swim into the tunnel itself – there's another ring of eight coins waiting for you inside. (42 coins total)
- 5
That's it for the first area! Head through the tunnel into the second area.
- 6
Once you enter the second area, immediately swim to the left. You'll see five coins right in front of that giant hole where Bowser's sub popped out. Be careful here – the suction from the hole can really mess with Mario's movement and the camera can get a bit wild. Just push through and grab them! (47 coins total)

Still on the floor of the water, travel to the opposite side of this area. Look for eight coins chilling near one of the Clams. Snag 'em! (55 coins total)
- 8
Now, hop out of the water and onto the boardwalk. You'll find five coins right by a signpost. Easy peasy. (60 coins total)
- 9
The rest of the coins will come from the Red Coins and the Blue Coin Block. To get to them, use the purple switch to activate the floating platforms.
- 10
It's best to tackle the Blue Coins last since they're a reliable way to get a bunch of coins quickly. Remember, you can skip up to three Red Coins and still hit 100. So, if some are too tricky, don't stress!
- 11
You'll find one Red Coin on the first platform you reach, and then three more near the first pole. (68 coins total)
- 12
If you're going for all the coins, head to the far back of the area to grab the next set of coins. (74 coins total)
- 13
Now, backtrack a bit and go past the Blue Coin Block. There's one final Red Coin waiting for you there. (76 coins total)
- 14
Finally, activate the Blue Coin Block and collect all eight Blue Coins. This should bring your total to 106 coins, giving you the star!
- The Blue Coins are grouped very closely, so you're unlikely to miss any once the block is activated.
- Don't feel pressured to get every single Red Coin; you can afford to miss three and still get the star.
