Follow this Super Mario 64 walkthrough for Star 1: Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow on Rainbow Ride. Learn how to navigate the magic carpets, flamethrowers, and rotating platforms to reach the star.
Walkthrough
- 1Start by walking across the wooden bridge and stepping onto the magic carpet.
- 2After the first grey platform, jump over the next one.
- 3When the rainbow path heads towards a flamethrower, jump onto the nearby circular platform with an Amp. Wait for the carpet to pass the flamethrower, then jump back on.
- 4When the rainbow path stops, jump onto the grey platform ahead before the carpet falls.
- 5Jump onto the rotating platform, then jump to the right to another rotating platform with coins.
- 6From the coin platform, jump to the grey platform and step onto the next magic carpet.
- 7Jump over a platform, then go under a platform with a coin.
- 8Jump over a solitary coin on the rainbow path, then climb over a set of stairs.
- 9Quickly jump onto the carpet when it returns from underneath you.
- 10Jump onto the next platform, get past the brown block, and jump back onto the carpet as it emerges from under the platform.
- 11At the crossroads, if facing forward, jump onto the LEFT carpet.
- 12Watch out for blue flames from the cone-shaped structure. Jump over circulating blades as you travel up and around it.
- 13At the top, make quick jumps over grey blocks, then a double jump to a wooden plank from logs.
- 14Cross the patterned platform and jump onto the floating ship via the plank.
- 15Quickly turn left on the ship, brave the wind and Bob-Omb, and grab the star on the front.
