'''The Princess's Secret Slide''', referred to as '''Princess Toadstool's Secret Slide''' by a [[sign]], is one of the secret [[level]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', as well as being one of the three [[Slide (Super Mario 64)|slides]] in the games. The entrance to the course is in the [[Peach's Room|Princess's room]], located behind the [[★ door]] marked with a "1" on the mezzanine of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. Inside the room are three stained glass windows with images of [[Princess Peach]] on them. [[Jump]]ing into the one on the right leads to the slide. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the room is expanded to include the locked doors with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], and a [[Power Star]] behind them, and the number of stained glass windows is reduced from three to two, but the stained glass window on the right still leads to the slide. The level is also used as one of the four courses in the [[Super Mario 64 DS#VS mode|VS mode]].

In the DS version of the game, the room is expanded to include the locked doors with [[Mario|the]] [[Luigi|other]] [[Wario|characters]] behind them, and the number of stained glass windows was reduced from three to two, but the stained glass window on the right will still lead to the slide. Additionally, if the player falls off the slide, they will be brought back to the lobby of the castle, with no life lost. Also in the DS version, it is one of the four courses in VS Mode. The first [[Power Star]] is at the start, the second is in the middle of the slide, and the last three Power Stars are in the ending room. This is the only secret course that contains [[Blue Coin]]s and the only course that has no [[Red Coin]]s in the original game.


This level and [[The Secret Aquarium]] are the only two hidden courses outside the [[Bowser]] courses to retain their original names in the DS remake.

The player starts in a room with a [[Blue Coin Block]] to the right. Once the player enters the slide ahead, a timer begins. The slide first takes the player down a large tunnel, which leads to a steep downward slope. After a large 270-degree bend is a series of drops with a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] in this area followed by several bends, ultimately leading to the final room of the slide. If the player falls off the slide, they will be brought back to the lobby of the castle with no life lost. In the VS mode course, the first Power Star can be found at the start, the second is in the middle of the slide, and the last three are in the final room.

The music that plays in the course is a variation of the "[[Super Mario 64 Main Theme]]," as well as [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]'s music, involving a Western style, with an instrumentation of a harmonica, a bass, drums, a banjo, and a whistle. This music can also be heard during the races with [[Koopa the Quick]] and in most other secret courses, in secret areas that involve a slide, and in other regular courses such as [[Tick Tock Clock]] and [[Rainbow Ride]].


This music has since been arranged in multiple future titles in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], including the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] (''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as the main track for the [[Rainbow Cruise]] stage, combined with the [[Underwater Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''); ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]] mission [[Tall Trunk's Big Slide]] and in the [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]; ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' during the minecart sections in [[Bowser's Snow Fort]]; ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' while the player rides [[Plessie]], which was reused in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' during part of the [[Coins Galore]] minigames; and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'' as one of the tracks that can be played in events, which is [[Toad]]'s theme in the latter game. The original song is also featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''.
The music that plays in the course is a variation of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]'s theme (also the main theme of the game), as well as [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]'s music, involving a Western style, with an instrumentation of a fiddle, a bass, drums, a piano, a banjo, and whistling. This music can also be heard during the races with [[Koopa the Quick]], and in most other secret courses, in secret areas that involve a slide, and in other regular courses such as [[Tick Tock Clock]] and [[Rainbow Ride]].
