More Super Mario 64 stuff
Today I tried out some basement stages. First I let the Big Bully in Lethal Lava Land take a nice hot bath. Then I tried to get the Power Star from Klepto in Shifting Sand Land but I couldn’t find the cannon I had to use, so I decided to try a different star. I tried Big Boo’s Haunt as well but I couldn’t find all of the Boos. This wouldn’t be that hard if I had more time to play the game, but I usually can only end up playing for like an hour because I have to share my Switch with my little brother, who uses it much more than I do.
Anyway, the last thing worth noting is that I tried to get the Vanish Cap and Wing Cap switch. I gave up on the Wing Cap switch because I hate the controls. I wanted to get all of the red coins but it was just not working. I also tried the Vanish Cap and… yeah, Vanish Cap Under the Moat is the main stage that makes me happy you don’t lose lives on secret stars. I was going to try it without the red coins and first and try to get them on a second attempt, but I kept dying because of one specific part at the end.
These platforms. When the platform rises high enough, it slants so you’ll be forced to slide off, and if that happens, you’re pretty much done. But you have to let it reach the top so you can jump off it to the next one. Just watch
this video and go to the one minute mark to see how it’s like. I think I died at least ten times. I eventually played it so much that I already knew where all of the red coins were and did end up getting them all on my successful attempt. The good thing about this stage is that since it’s a secret stage, you don’t lose any lives if you die. But you can get 1-ups early in the stage, meaning you can just stack up on lives. Unfortunately, the game resets your lives back to the default, so next time I go back I’ll just have four lives. Also, I think that, based on the comments I saw on walkthroughs, this is a stage other people actually struggled on. So it’s not just me being bad at the game.
One last thing, I should probably say that I’m not going to make a post every time I play the game. I just wanted to talk about how stupid the Vanish Cap stage was.

it's as though they realized this is really where the money's at, this is what fans actually want. Took 'em years to finally catch up to the times lol
All you really need is a pencil, eraser, paper, time, and enough motivation to practice. There are so many great tutorials on Youtube, so many free guides out there on the internet. If you really want to learn how to draw/paint, you can!
