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
  1. 1
    Start by walking across the wooden bridge and stepping onto the magic carpet.
  2. 2
    After the first grey platform, jump over the next one.
  3. 3
    When 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.
  4. 4
    When the rainbow path stops, jump onto the grey platform ahead before the carpet falls.
  5. 5
    Jump onto the rotating platform, then jump to the right to another rotating platform with coins.
  6. 6
    From the coin platform, jump to the grey platform and step onto the next magic carpet.
  7. 7
    Jump over a platform, then go under a platform with a coin.
  8. 8
    Jump over a solitary coin on the rainbow path, then climb over a set of stairs.
  9. 9
    Quickly jump onto the carpet when it returns from underneath you.
  10. 10
    Jump onto the next platform, get past the brown block, and jump back onto the carpet as it emerges from under the platform.
  11. 11
    At the crossroads, if facing forward, jump onto the LEFT carpet.
  12. 12
    Watch out for blue flames from the cone-shaped structure. Jump over circulating blades as you travel up and around it.
  13. 13
    At the top, make quick jumps over grey blocks, then a double jump to a wooden plank from logs.
  14. 14
    Cross the patterned platform and jump onto the floating ship via the plank.
  15. 15
    Quickly turn left on the ship, brave the wind and Bob-Omb, and grab the star on the front.
Tips
  • Good judgment is required for jumping over platforms on the magic carpet.
  • Be prepared to quickly jump back onto the carpet after waiting out hazards.
  • At the crossroads, ensure you take the correct carpet (the left one when facing forward).
  • The final section requires quick jumps over blades, blocks, and a double jump to reach the ship.
