Wiggler's Red Coins

Discover the hidden Red Coins in Wiggler's cave on Tiny-Huge Island in Super Mario 64! Learn the shortcut and how to grab them all.

Alright, let's tackle Wiggler's Red Coins in Super Mario 64! These are tucked away inside a cave, and you'll need to be on the Huge Island version of the course to get to it. Getting to the entrance itself can be a bit of a trek, but there's a neat shortcut we can use.

First things first, head to Huge Island. Go through the main doorway you start from and look for a Koopa Troopa. This is your ticket to the cave entrance without having to climb that big mountain. Once you find the Koopa Troopa, give it a whack to knock it out of its shell, and then hop onto the shell!

Now, here's the trick: you can ride this shell up the hill! Keep jumping continuously while on the shell to gain height. You'll want to aim for the ledge with the tree on the right side of the cave's entrance. If you need to hop off the shell, just press the crouch button, and it'll disappear. This is a sweet shortcut, as normally you'd have to find a way to drop down from above.

Once you've reached that ledge with the tree, make your way over to the wooden walkway. Carefully head inside the cave. It's not a huge place, and most of the Red Coins are pretty straightforward to grab. Some might require a Double Jump or even a Triple Jump, so be ready for that. Once you've collected all eight Red Coins, the Power Star will appear right between the two pillars in the corner of the cave.
