The entrance to the course is in the [[Princess 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 the DS version of the game, the room is expanded to include the locked doors with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] 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]]. | ||
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. | 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 player starts in a room with a [[Blue Coin Block]] to the right.
