The Princess's Secret Slide

The Princess's Secret Slide is one of three secret levels in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, where Mario must simply ride a winding slide to the bottom, where two Power Stars can be found at the bottom.

The entrance to the slide is on the first floor, atop the central staircase, and behind the star door labeled "1", meaning it would require 1 Power Star to enter. In the room behind the door are three identical stained glass windows with images of Princess Peach on them. The one on the right is the entrance to the slide. In the DS version, the room is expanded to hold the character doors but the slide itself remains the same and is still accessed via a picture of Peach in the same room.

Star 1
Mario must ride the slide all the way to the bottom and hit the ! Block to collect the Star.

Star 2
This second Star will only appear if the player reaches the bottom of the slide in under twenty-one seconds.

Trivia

 * If the player listens closely enough, the tune that plays in the course is a remix of the Bob-omb Battlefield theme.
 * The theme that plays here is also used in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Tall Trunk Galaxy level, Tall Trunk's big slide and in the Rolling Coaster Galaxy.
