Collect all 8 Red Coins in Hazy Maze Cave in Super Mario 64 DS. This guide details how to find each coin, including those in wooden boxes and on moving platforms, to earn the Star.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, drop to the platform below and defeat the spider for 3 coins.
  2. 2
    Take the right path. Another spider will attack; be cautious.
  3. 3
    Continue along the narrow edge, collecting 5 more coins.
  4. 4
    You'll reach a pit with fire. Jump across when the fire is not active to avoid falling.
  5. 5
    Enter the door on the other side.
  6. 6
    In the new room, find a pole on the front-left. Slide down it to a new area.
  7. 7
    Walk to the far right corner of this area and climb the large steps to find a 'work elevator'.
  8. 8
    Step on the arrows to operate the elevator. If you leave it too long, it will reset.
  9. 9
    Use the elevator to find three wooden boxes. Punch them to break them open and collect the Red Coins inside (3 coins total).
  10. 10
    Find another Red Coin in the corner opposite where the elevator started (1 coin total). You should now have 4 Red Coins.
  11. 11
    Jump off the elevator and let it disappear. Return to its starting point; it will reappear.
  12. 12
    Instead of boarding the elevator, look straight ahead for another pole leading upwards. Use the work elevator to reach this pole.
  13. 13
    Climb the pole to a new area.
  14. 14
    Walk onto the blue and yellow checkerboard platform. It will move left, breaking through a wooden platform.
  15. 15
    Stay on the checkerboard platform to collect Red Coin #5.
  16. 16
    Continue on the platform to collect Red Coin #6, which is above a grassy platform (jump to get it).
  17. 17
    The checkerboard platform will lead to a platform with the final two Red Coins. Collect them. You should now have all 8 Red Coins.
  18. 18
    The Star will appear in the very bottom-middle of this room. Fall to the bottom and collect it.
Tips
  • Be patient when crossing the fire pit; timing is crucial.
  • The work elevator will disappear if you are away from it for too long, so stay close to it.
  • Remember to jump to collect Red Coin #6 as the checkerboard platform moves.
