Super Mario 64 - VCON/Walkthrough
From WikiCheats
Intro
Welcome to the wonderful world of Super Mario 64. While the fundamentals of the gameplay remain the same, the overall game structure has been modified for Mario's first 3D adventure. You will progress through the game by collecting Stars. You are awarded Stars by completed Courses inside Levels or finding hidden ones through out the castle. There are a total 120 Stars in the game. You only need 70 Stars to complete the game however.
Princess Peach's castle will act as the central Hub or overworld if you will. You will find the individual levels through out the castle. Most levels are hidden inside paintings that Mario can jump into. Each level has a total of 6 Courses but 7 Stars. You'll be awarded with a Star for completing each Course and one extra Star for collecting 100 Yellow Coins in one pass. This will give 105 Stars and the rest are hidden around the castle itself.
The evil Bowser has once again kidnapped Princess Peach. Her castle is under his power and Mario must now collect the Stars to restore the castle's energy. Collecting Stars will gain Mario access to new portions of the castle and ultimately lead him to the final showdown with the Koopa King himself, Bowser.
