Near the end of the stage, N64 version.

Bowser in the Sky is the final Bowser level in Super Mario 64, in which Mario would travel through platforms in the sky until he reached a Warp Pipe leading to a fight against Bowser to save Princess Peach and the Toads in Princess Peach's Castle. Mario would have to avoid enemies such as Chuckyas and Goombas. Bowser in the Sky is the one of the hardest levels in the game, and Mario will need 70 Power Stars (80 in Super Mario 64 DS) to reach the top of the endless stairs. Otherwise, the staircase will repeat itself. There is, however, a glitch that can be used to get up the stairs without enough Power Stars.

Stars

There were two hidden stars in this level, like all Bowser levels in Super Mario 64 DS; one for collecting all 8 Red Coins, and one which is a Switch Star.

Secrets

  • Before the player goes in the pipe at the end, they should look at the statues. It shows Mario jumping over a Fireball near Bowser, in the old Super Mario Bros. style. It's very blurry and poor quality yet unmistakable.
  • Before running near the Whomp, stay on the revolving platform and backjump onto the nearby ledge. This skips the Whomp and a Chuckya.
