'''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]].

The Princess's Secret Slide, referred to as Princess Toadstool's Secret Slide by a sign, is one of the secret levels in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. It is one of the three slides. It is accessed from the stained-glass window of Princess Peach on the right side of the Princess's room. The level is also used as one of the four courses in the VS mode.

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 location begins with a wide area with a Blue Coin Block to the right. A timer begins upon the player going on the slide, which first takes the player down a large tunnel, then slopes downward, followed by a large 270-degree bend, then a 1-UP Mushroom preceding several bends, and lastly another wide room. If the player falls off the slide, they return to the foyer of the Mushroom Castle with no life lost. The locations of the Power Stars in the VS mode course include one at the start, the second in the middle, and three in the last room.

Missions[edit]

First Star[edit]

The goal is to ride down to the final area and hit the yellow block to release the Power Star inside.

Second Star[edit]

If the player completes the slide in under 21 seconds, the Star spawns to the yellow block at the end.

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, including the 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.
