'''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]]''. It is one of the three [[Slide (Super Mario 64)|slides]]. It is accessed from the stained-glass window of [[Princess Peach]] on the right side of the [[Peach's Room|Princess's room]]. The level is also used as one of the four courses in the [[Super Mario 64 DS#VS mode|VS mode]].

'''The Princess's Secret Slide''' is one of three secret levels in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where [[Mario]] must simply ride a winding slide to the bottom, where two [[Power Star]]s can be found.


This level and [[The Secret Aquarium]] are the only two hidden courses outside the [[Bowser]] courses to retain their original names in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.
The entrance to the slide is on the first floor, atop the central staircase, and behind the star door labeled "1", meaning it will require 1 Power Star to enter. In the room behind the door are three (two in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'') identical stained glass windows with images of [[Princess Peach]] on them. The one on the right is the entrance to the slide. In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version, the room is expanded to hold the character doors but the slide itself remains the same and is still accessed via a picture of Peach in the same room. If Mario falls off, he will not lose a life, but will be sent back to the castle lobby. Like other secret levels, the player can lose a life by taking damage until it reaches zero. In this case, the only way to take damage is to jump from the first part of the slide to the second part of the slide, resulting in damage due to falling from heights. This is the only secret course that contains [[Blue Coin]]s, and the only course that has no [[Red Coin]]s mission.

The location begins with a wide area with a [[Blue Coin Block]] to the right. A timer begins upon going on the slide, first taking the player down a large tunnel, then sloping downward, followed by a large 270-degree bend, then a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] preceding several bends, and lastly another wide room. If the player falls off of the slide, they return into the foyer of [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. The locations of the [[Power Star]]s in the VS mode course include one at the start, the second in the middle, and three in the last room.


==Missions==
The room that housed the entrance to the slide was redesigned in the DS version to also serve as character select and [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]] entrance. But an early version of the room, based on the N64 version, can be found in the game's files. Also in the DS version, it is one of the four courses in VS Mode. The first star is at the start, the second at the middle, and the last three at the end.

===First Star===
===First Star===
The goal is to ride down to the final area and hit the [[! Block|yellow block]] to release the Power Star inside.
Mario must ride the slide all the way to the bottom and hit the [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]] to collect the Power Star.


===Second Star===
===Second Star===
By completing the slide in under 21 seconds, the Star spawns to the yellow block at the end.
This second Star will only appear if the player reaches the bottom of the slide in under 21 seconds. This Star will appear in front of the ! block that contained the first star.

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]]''.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*It is the only hidden course with [[Blue Coin]]s.
*The tune that plays in the course is a variation of the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] theme (also the main theme of the game), as well as [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]'s music. This tune can also be heard 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]].
*[[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|Originally]], this stage was going to house a yellow [[! Switch]] item for boxed [[Green Shell|Koopa shells]].<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)/Oddities#The_Princess's_Secret_Slide|Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=July 31, 2020}}</ref>
**The music is also remixed in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as well as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]] level "Tall Trunk's Big Slide", and in the [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]. Another remix can be heard in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' in [[Bowser's Snow Fort]], during the mine cart sections. ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' features another variation that plays while riding [[Plessie]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bYdgfip00NE]</ref> The original version appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. A remixed version appears as one of the selectable songs in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''.  A remix is also heard in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' where it plays during part of the Coins Galore minigames.
*The ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' version of this level is later referenced in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', where [[Super Mario 64 DS (microgame)|a microgame]] has the player control Mario (and Luigi in two-player mode) to reach the goal.
