'''Slip Slidin' Away''' is the first mission of [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Its objective is to go down the interior [[slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]] from top to bottom. The title is a reference to the {{wp|Slip Slidin' Away|song of the same name}} by {{wp|Paul Simon}}.

The mission's [[Power Star]] appears once the player exits through the door at the slide's end. When the player enters the [[level]], a message pops up, directing them to the nearby cottage, which can be entered only through its chimney. A [[sign]] at the cottage's entrance, written by the [[List of implied characters#Cabin Proprietor|Cabin Proprietor]], also invites the player to enter through the chimney, comparing to how [[Santa Claus]] is known for doing so. Once the player enters, they are faced with a slide, which they must ride to the bottom without slipping off. If they skid off, they fall into a [[pit|bottomless pit]] and are thrown out of the level. The slide has a shortcut halfway through it, marked by a line of [[coin]]s, which also contains a couple of [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]]s. Another, faster shortcut exists right at the start of the slide: By [[jump]]ing or falling off the right ledge right after starting to [[slide]], [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] can fall all the way down to the bottom and land with a [[dive]] right in front of the start of the slide's final tunnel part.

After the player makes it to the end and exits the cottage, the Power Star flies out the door and lands in front of the player. In the original version, the Star appears regardless of the mission selected, but in the DS version, this mission must be selected to have the Star appear; if other missions are selected, the [[Big Penguin]] is present and therefore the player cannot try for this Star. It is therefore possible in the DS version to complete [[Big Penguin Race]] before Slip Slidin' Away.
