'''Mysterious Mountainside''' is the fourth mission of [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The objective is to find and slide down the mountain's hidden [[Slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]].

To access the slide, the player has to climb the mountain until they get to the [[Fwoosh]]. Immediately behind the Fwoosh is a trail of [[coin]]s leading to a secret portal to the slide. If the player loses a life on this slide and [[jump]]s back into the [[painting]], they will return to the start of the slide, provided the life lost does not result in a [[Game Over]].

The player falls into a rectangular room at the top of the slide. Touching the four corners of the room results in a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] appearing, with another 1-UP Mushroom being found against the doorway. The slide begins with a straight ramp with three dips in it, followed by a turn. After this turn is a long U-shaped bend that ends in a fork; continuing on the path leads to a drop that causes the player to lose a life, so the player needs to slide onto the wooden path to avoid it. The wooden path has two gaps in it that the player slides over onto a bend. After the bend is a twisted tunnel, which ends at a narrow road. Past this are two final bends ending in a large jump, leading to a room with the hole to the [[Power Star]].

In the original game, the Power Star is in an alcove with a small fence, making it easy for [[Mario]] to simply perform a [[Backward Somersault]] from the ledge above to obtain the Star without having to go through the slide. In the DS version, the fence covers the entire alcove, presumably to prevent the player from performing such actions, although they can still do so using [[Luigi]]'s [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] ability.
