Find Yoshi in Super Mario 64

After getting your 120th star in Super Mario 64, you will have the opportunity to meet Yoshi in the game on the top of Peach's castle. If you've already gotten your 120 stars, and beat Bowser, and want to meet Yoshi but have no idea how, then move on to step one below.

Steps

  1. Make sure you have gotten all 120 stars that are in the game and that you have beaten Beat the Third Bowser in Super Mario 64.
  2. Go outside in the Castle Grounds. Once you are there, from Peach's castle, head down and straight ahead to the area that has yellow ground as well as water.
  3. Notice the cannon that is over there. You may have noticed that it had a grate over the top of it earlier in the game, because you haven't gotten all of the stars. If you currently have all 120, the grate over the top should be gone and the cannon should now be open.
  4. Get into the cannon.
  5. Aim for the roof. Avoid aiming for the very top, and instead aim at the little flat bit at the sides of the huge spire at the top of castle. Remember, Mario is a fast faller, so be sure that you aim high, as if he slides or falls off of the castle, he will either lose a lot of health or die.
  6. Press the a button on your controller once you're aimed to shoot Mario out of the cannon.
  7. Know that if you managed to get to the top of the roof, you will meet Yoshi. He will give you a special message from Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario's creator, to you, the player, give you a hundred lives, and he'll make your triple jump sparkly.
  8. Know that this is the official end of the game. There are no other extra worlds to go to, or other free gifts. With the exception of the big penguin in Cool Cool Mountain becoming huge for Big Penguin Race, there are also no other big surprises. Therefore, you can celebrate because you beat the game!



Tips

  • If you'd like to get even more lives, there are a few more surrounding the wall area on the top of the castle.
  • You also have the opportunity to fly around from the top of the Castle, because there will be a red box containing a wing cap on top of the castle.
  • Note that if you get up to the castle without getting 120 stars, yoshi won't actually appear.
  • If you'd like to meet Yoshi earlier in the game, you can wall jump towards the left area of the castle, and start wall kicking. Although it will take some time, you should be able to eventually make it to the top of the castle.

Warnings

  • Note that if you are playing Super Mario 64 DS, you will be unable to meet Yoshi, as he is playable in the game. Also, instead of 120 stars, you will need 150 for the cannon to open so that you can get to the top of the castle.
