|Power Stars fuel [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] and are stolen by [[Bowser]] to seal the castle's inhabitants away. They are the primary objective within [[mission]]s and accumulating them unlocks new ones. A larger token called the [[Jumbo Star]] is made available after the final battle with [[Bowser]]. Collecting it does not contribute to the player's total, but it does liberate [[Princess Peach]].

|episode
|Collecting a Yellow Coin restores one wedge to Mario's [[Health Meter|Power Meter]]. Collecting 100 during a mission rewards Mario with a Power Star. He also gains an [[extra life]] for every 50 coins he has when he completes a mission, but only up to three (i.e. no more than 150 coins).

|A shell from a [[Koopa Troopa]] that Mario can ride, allowing him to defeat enemies he runs over and move around the course quicker. Pressing {{button|n64|Z}} causes the shell to disappear. If a Koopa Shell is grabbed underwater with {{button|n64|B}}, Mario can hold on to the shell for a short time and move underwater easier.

|Red Coins are worth two coins. Eight are scattered around most [[course]]s, and collecting them all causes a Power Star to appear. They restore two wedges to Mario's Power Meter when collected.

|Mario can lose his cap: it can be stolen by [[Klepto]] or [[Ukiki|Ukkiki]]s, or blown away by [[wind]]. He takes more damage without it. Mario can complete a mission or exit a course without his cap, but it is still missing when he returns to [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. He has to return to the specific course where he lost his cap to retrieve it.

===Power-ups===
Items that transform Mario's appearance and give him unique abilities. [[List of power-ups|Power-ups]] are available in [[Cap Block]]s, and they only start appearing in the main courses once their corresponding [[Cap Switch]]es are struck in the hidden [[Switch Palace|switch courses]]. Unlike previous ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, all power-ups in ''Super Mario 64'' only temporarily transform [[Mario]], each one for sixty seconds. If he completes a mission in one of these forms, he will revert to his normal form. Additionally, Mario lacks a weak, diminutive [[Small Mario|small form]] in this game. Mario can be under the effect of two of these power-ups simultaneously in [[Dire, Dire Docks]], namely the Metal and Vanish Caps.

|The Metal Cap is available in green blocks and turns Mario into Metal Mario, a near invincible form. He can only receive fall damage in this form. Metal Mario functions the same as his normal form but he can destroy enemies just by making contact and is impervious to most hazardous obstacles. [[Wind]] and [[current]]s cannot push him. While he does not need air, Metal Mario cannot [[swim]] and sinks to to the bottom of bodies of water, enabling him to circumvent jet streams and other underwater obstacles.

|The Vanish Cap is the final unlockable power-up and is contained in blue blocks. It transforms Mario into Vanish Mario, a form that allows Mario to phase through certain barriers and walls. Vanish Mario is undetectable to enemies and they cannot harm him. He otherwise has the same abilities as normal Mario.

Revision as of 21:10, November 2, 2023

Casual Nintendo historian. Otherwise an artist and a field ecologist. Bio degree. I've had an account here since 2012.

I wrote the character sections for Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Super Mario Odyssey. I contributed much of the article for Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Sunshine.

I have been a fan of Nintendo since a very young age. My first Mario games (and three of the first video games I ever owned) were Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, Super Mario 64 DS, and Mario Kart DS. These games were good company for a young kid who moved around a lot and had difficulty keeping long-lasting friends.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I sequentially played some of my favorite games in the Super Mario series to 100% completion. This includes, in order, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Super Mario Odyssey. It's been really fun! These are great games, and I always wanted to marathon a series like this before but never had the time. It has been interesting to see where the series began and where it has ended up. The design philosophies, the characters, the art directions, world building, level design, narrative, etc. All good stuff. It might be fun to write something about it some day.

My favorite video game character is Yoshi.

For assets I have uploaded to the wiki, I suggest viewing them here.
