Learn how to get the Red-Hot Log Rolling star in Super Mario 64's Lethal Lava Land by rolling a giant log to a cage.
Walkthrough
- 1From the start, cross the initial platform, jump to the next, and pass under the arch.
- 2Run along the gold-coloured platform.
- 3Knock away the Bully (an enemy) on the next ledge.
- 4Go right and cross onto the gold steps when the flamethrower (a hazard) is not shooting flames.
- 5Cross the small, square platforms that tilt when stepped on.
- 6Jump onto the platform that submerges in the lava periodically; jump when it has less lava.
- 7Cross this platform and jump onto the next lava-submerged platform.
- 8Cross this second submerged platform to land on another gold-coloured platform.
- 9Jump onto the round platform with Bullies and coins, and get rid of the Bullies by pushing them off the edge.
- 10Jump onto the small black wire platform at the edge of this round platform; it will take you across the lava.
- 11Watch out for flamethrowers shooting upwards while crossing the lava.
- 12You will see a giant log resting on two supports behind you as you cross.
- 13Climb the slope to get on the log.
- 14To roll the log, stay on the left side and run across the top. Going onto the right side will roll it in the wrong direction.
- 15Roll the log towards the big cage visible to your left as you climb the slope to get on the log.
- 16The log needs to reach the ledge at the other side.
- 17Perform a long jump to grab the ledge on the other side.
- 18Go down the slope on the other side.
- 19Collect the Power Star to finish the level.
Tips
- Be careful with your footing on the tilting platforms.
- Jump onto the lava-submerged platforms when they have less lava coating them.
- Stay on the top left side of the log when rolling it to avoid falling into the lava.
- The long jump to grab the ledge can be risky.
