Tricky Triangles!

Tricky Triangles! is the fifth mission of Rainbow Ride in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS.

Layout
Once the player reaches the four spinning platforms, they need to slide down the pole to the left. The player then has to use a tilting platform to reach another platform, followed by using a swinging platform to cross the gap. Then the player has to cross a series of Donut Blocks with a tilting platform between them and jump across a gap while avoiding a flame thrower. Past the moving platform ahead is a gap with Donut Blocks across it, followed by a slight ramp and a few more Donut Blocks. After the player crosses these blocks, there is a large platform with a Purple Switch and triangular platforms. Pressing the switch will cause the triangles to flip upside-down, allowing the player to use them as platforms. The player needs to climb the platforms to reach the Power Star before the switch's timer runs out. The player must do this quickly because the time limit is very short.

It is also possible to get the Star without the tricky triangles by reaching the platform where the Star in the mission Somewhere Over the Rainbow is, then falling off it in a precise matter.

In the DS version, if Luigi takes the Carpet Path to the right and lands on an L-shaped platform before the spinning platform, he can backflip to the Star from there.
