Find all 8 Red Coins in Snowman's Land in Super Mario 64! This guide details locations, including those requiring the Koopa shell, to help you earn that Power Star.

Alright, let's snag those Red Coins in Snowman's Land! They're not too tricky since they're all outside the igloo. Just a heads-up, two of them are on the frozen pond near the Chill Bully, and you absolutely need the Koopa shell to get them. If you lose that shell before grabbing those two, you'll have to restart the course because it won't respawn. Don't worry, we'll get you through it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you start the course, head to your right. Go past the tree where the warp is, and you'll find your first Red Coin right there.
  2. 2
    Keep going past the frozen pond (don't worry about the coins on it just yet) and head into the open field. Your second Red Coin is waiting for you there.
  3. 3
    Now, make your way to the freezing pond. You'll need to use the Spindrift to reach the upper ledge. Once you're up there, break open the box on the right to unleash the Koopa shell.
  4. 4
    Grab the Koopa shell! The third Red Coin is right near you.
  5. 5
    Now, surf around the upper section of this ledge with the shell. You'll find Red Coin #4, Red Coin #5, and Red Coin #6 up here. Keep an eye out, because a Mr. Blizzard might pop out of the ground after the fifth coin. Try not to bump into it and lose your shell!
  6. 6
    Once you've collected those three coins on the ledge, carefully drop off. Ride over to the area underneath the Chill Bully. The last two Red Coins (#7 and #8) are located there.
Tips
  • Remember, you *must* use the Koopa shell to get the Red Coins on the frozen pond. If you lose it, you'll have to restart the course.
  • Be extra careful around the Chill Bully area when you're surfing with the Koopa shell, as enemies can easily knock you off course.
