Grab the Piranha Flower Power Star in Super Mario 64's Tiny-Huge Island! Learn how to take out the fiery plants and claim your prize.
Walkthrough
- 1Enter the portrait on the left to start the level on Tiny Island. A Goomba will likely charge you; let it hit you as it will die without costing you health (though you won't get a coin).
- 2Jump into the water to your left and swim to the brown platform. Pull yourself up. Be careful, as a Fireball-shooter is also on this platform.
- 3Hit the yellow '!' block here to get a 1-Up Mushroom.
- 4Continue swimming and pull yourself onto the next platform. You'll see a green Warp Pipe here. Step into it to be transported to Huge Island.
- 5Once on Huge Island, Piranha Plants will pop out of the ground and shoot flames at you. Keep an eye on them as you navigate the platform.
- 6Your main goal is to make five Piranha Plants appear by walking over specific spots on the platform. When one pops up, get close enough and punch it to make it disappear, leaving behind two coins.
- 7After you've found and defeated all five Piranha Plants, the fifth one will drop the Power Star near the Warp Pipe. Simply walk over and collect it to add to your total.
Tips
- Don't worry about the initial Goomba on Tiny Island; it's harmless and a good way to get moving.
- The Fireball-shooter on the first platform can be tricky, so be quick to get to the '!' block and then move on.
- Listen for the Piranha Plants on Huge Island; they often make a sound before they pop up, giving you a slight warning.
- Keep a reasonable distance when punching the Piranha Plants; getting too close can result in taking damage from their flames.
