Collect Star 5, Tricky Triangles!, on Rainbow Ride in Super Mario 64 by hitting the '!' switch and quickly climbing the triangles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the same path as the previous level until you reach the Goomba next to a wooden slant with small ledges.
  2. 2
    Look ahead to see a triangular obstacle with falling logs in front.
  3. 3
    Jump onto the falling logs and quickly run across them and up the triangle.
  4. 4
    At the top of the triangle, jump to the next set of falling logs, avoiding sliding down.
  5. 5
    Make another jump across the gap to more log platforms, watching out for the flamethrower.
  6. 6
    You will reach a stone ledge with a '!' switch.
  7. 7
    Hit the '!' switch to make the tricky triangles flat.
  8. 8
    Quickly climb the flat triangles to the top; on the second one, perform a backflip to reach the one above.
  9. 9
    Jump onto the high ledge.
  10. 10
    Collect the star waiting at the end.
Tips
  • Do not slide down the triangle; recovering from skidding takes time and can cause you to fall off the logs.
  • You have no time to spare; complete the climb as quickly as possible.
