Your star count isn't going to help me directly......but anyways. You can get Luigi after you get Mario. More specifically, you use Mario to get Luigi in the Haunted Mansion. Wario is on the second level of the castle - the level with Tiny Big Island and Tall Tall Mountain. I'll tell you where Wario is if you want.......but I think it's funner if you find it. I'll give you a hit: try walking around the upstairs with different characters.

Do like Jason said, and hop into the canon, and shot yourself at the stone corner. There are two of them, they have a black slanted part inbetween then.

It's so hard to do because of the camera angle.
Ahhhhhh.......one of my favorite levels. If you notice, the way you jump into the picture for Wet Dry World depends on the level of the water when you enter the level. If you want to save some time, I advice you to jump into the picture as low as you can. If the water is raised when you enter the level, swim underwater, and find the switch to lower it so there is no water in the level. The next part requires you to get up to the elevator, without using the water. Easier done then said, but then again......I beat Mario 64 like 11 times on the N64. Lol. Anyways......use those enemies that look like they have giant mechanical dustpans.....if you get on them right, they'll launch you up to the next level and so on. Once you are up to the top where the elevator is, jump on the elevator, and it will start to go down. Since there's no water, all you have to do is jump down, walk into the elevator cage, and wait for the elevator to come to the bottom. Just jump on it, or backflip on it, or wallkick, and walla. You'll be on it.

That's the easier way, IMO, opposed to doing it when there's water......which would just be hard and silly.

Edit: Even easier, if you have the canon opened, you can just use the hidden warp when there's no water in the level, hop into the canon, blast to the elevator, and follow the gameplan as typed above. But that's only if you know where the warp is and if you have the canon opened.

I felt like getting 120 stars was an accomplishment. I don't know if I'm up for the DS version yet.

"Break Away the Wall" was the hardest thing ever in a game. I was trying to shoot myself up to the top of the tower, and accidentally hit the wall, revealing the star. Damn thing...

But getting all 120 really made me proud.

Yep, back in those days you actually kept playing the game until you had finished it 100%. And even after that you'd play it.

I think I beated the game in 1 week and got all the stars in 1 month... too much time on my hands...
