Learn about the rare Super Mario 64 glitch in Snowman's Land where your cap can be lost forever, preventing you from retrieving it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When the giant snowman blows you off the cliff, there is a small chance your cap will be blown into the top of the ice structure for the 'In The Deep Freeze' course.
  2. 2
    If this occurs, when you attempt to retrieve your cap, you will instead receive the star for 'In The Deep Freeze'.
  3. 3
    Because your cap is located below the star's position, you will always get the star instead of your cap.
  4. 4
    This means you will never be able to get your cap back.

Warning: If this happens and you want your cap back, immediately reset your N64. If you save your game, your cap will be lost forever.

Tips
  • This glitch is entirely dependent on luck.
  • If you save after the cap is lost, it is gone permanently.
