Super Mario 64/Shifting Sand Land

Location: Basement. Jump in to the wall at the dead end.

Description A desert level with a big flying bird and a pyramid.

No matter what star you're going after, always play on Star 1. As long as you play on this star, the Big Bird will hold onto the star, and therefore won't attack you.

Star 1: In The Talons Of The Big Bird
Look for the giant bird flying around near the pyramid. Fly to one of the four pillars and wait for the bird. When it comes near, grab the star. You can fly over to where the star lands. Also you can shoot from the cannon to fly and catch the star. Or you can make your way to the other side of the pyramid; the black hole will emit a tornado that can lift you up when you jump into it. Use it to get to the bird for the star.

Star 2: Shining Atop The Pyramid
Fly or walk to the top of the pyramid. The star is inside a hole at the top. You can also use the shell at the beginning to get you there the fastest.

Star 3: Inside The Ancient Pyramid
Go inside the pyramid. Make your way to the top and grab the star.

Star 4: Stand Tall On The Four Pillars
Stand on each of the four pillars outside the pyramid. The top of the pyramid will blast away. Go to it and go in the hole. Ride the elevator down, and jump in to the hole in the big sandy/beige block checkered with red. Inside, you have to beat the pyramid boss by hitting the eyes on its hands three times each.

Star 5: Free Flying for 8 red coins
Get all eight red coins. When you first enter the level, turn around and get the coin behind you. Then smash the box under the big stone roof. All the rest of the coins you can get by flying around (four in the air, one in the pool and one on the ground somewhat near the cannon).

Star 6: Pyramid Puzzle
Enter the pyramid, and make your way to the top. Right before the star, there is a hole in the barrier around the platform. Look down. Jump to the platform below you. There are two more platforms like this slightly below the first platform. Next jump in to the stream of sand and get the two coins going down there. The star will appear at the end.

Star 7: 100 Coins
Kill all enemies and get all the red coins outside, then go into the pyramid and collect the rest.
