'''Tall, Tall Mountain''' is the twelfth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It features a high mountain with all kinds of obstacles on the way to the top. The hat stealing monkey [[Ukiki]] is featured here as well as the blowing cloud named [[Fwoosh]]. The dangerous aspect of the level is that almost the entire path around the mountain is thin and near a cliff face. Like its painting, also located on the second story of the castle, Tall, Tall Mountain is surrounded by giant mushrooms, one of which has a [[Power Star]]. The top of the mountain has a flat surface and railing, and is next to a waterfall that leads to the start of the level.

'''Tall, Tall Mountain''' is the twelfth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is the small [[painting]] on the second floor of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], located directly behind the staircase. This is the only main course in the DS version that has neither a [[Star Switch|Switch Star]] nor a [[Silver Star]] mission.


==Levels==
==Layout==
The level titles and numbers correspond to ''Super Mario 64'' unless otherwise noted.  
[[File:SM64DS Tall Tall Mountain Map 1.png|frame|left|Map of Tall, Tall Mountain in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'']]
The player starts at the base of the mountain next to a small pond. Behind them is a narrow ledge with a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] on it, and in front of them is a trio of [[Goomba]]s. Past the Goombas is a ramp that leads to two gaps the player has to [[Long Jump|long-jump]] across; failing to cross the first one has the player land on the ground below, but failing the second results in a lost life. Beyond the gaps are several [[Mushroom Platform]]s with [[Red Coin]]s and a [[! Block|yellow block]] containing a 1-UP Mushroom. The center Mushroom Platform has a [[warp]] to the [[cannon]]. Past the Mushroom Platforms is a series of platforms that lead farther up the mountain with Red Coins and [[Monty Mole]]s on them. In the DS version, there is an additional [[block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]] that uncovers a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] when broken. Additionally, there is a Mushroom Platform across the gap that holds the [[Star Marker]] of the level. Beyond the Monty Moles is a path with [[Bob-omb]]s and a [[Chuckya]], followed by a bridge with a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] on a small platform below it. Afterward, there is a [[Ukiki|Ukkiki]] (who attempts to steal the player's [[cap]]) and a [[Fly Guy]], followed by a [[rolling log]] the player has to cross in order to get across the gap.


===Star 1: Scale the Mountain===
After the log is a large slope with several [[metal ball|iron ball]]s rolling down it. Alternatively, there is a different path with Bob-ombs the player can use to go around the slope with the iron balls. At the end of both paths is a large gap the player has to long-jump across followed by a [[Fwoosh]] that attempts to blow the player off the mountain, causing them to lose their cap. Next to the Fwoosh is a hidden passage that leads to the [[slide (Super Mario 64)#Mysterious Mountain Slide|Mysterious Mountain Slide]]. Past the Fwoosh is a grassy area with Goombas, though the grass makes it difficult for the player to [[jump]]. After the grass field is a narrow bridge over a waterfall, and across it is the peak of the mountain.
[[Image:Up the mountain.jpg|thumb|Mario going up the mountain.]]
To get this star, Mario must climb to the top of the mountain. He will begin by going right of the small waterfall at the start of the level and go across two large gaps. If he falls through the first gap he'll still land on a lower part of the mountain and be able to climb up the side, but the second gap leads strait down in the air where Mario can die. Mario will then be running along the edge of the mountain with mushroom platforms on his left until he finds a fork-in-the-road around [[Monty Mole]]s.  


*On the first way, Mario can go left and up the wall. Then at the top go right and follow along the side of the mountain. At some point, he will end up near some [[Goomba]]s in a small grassy area and meet up at the end of the other direction in the fork-in-the-road.
To the left of the narrow ledge with a 1-UP Mushroom on it at the mountain's base is an area with an upward gust of [[wind]] that carries the player to the path with Bob-ombs and the Chuckya.


*On the second way, Mario will go forward and cross a few enemies. Then he'll cross a plank leading to a monkey that can steal his hat if he picks it up. Mario will have to moves to the right and cross the log and make it roll to the next area of land(like in the [[Lethal Lava Land]] star, Red-Hot Log Rolling). Mario will then go around the perimeter of the mountain(while avoiding giant balls rolling down) and come up to the goombas on a grassy area.

Mario will then travel around the edge of the mountain. Later, he will have to long jump across a waterfall and balance across a thin walkway. After that, Mario must simply make his way up and grab the star.

To acquire this star, Mario must again trek to the top of the mountain, where there will be an Ukiki. Mario must catch the Ukiki, and, when prompted, let him go. Mario must then follow the Ukiki to a cage with a star in. The Ukiki will break the cage, and the star will fall to the area with the other Ukiki.

[[Image:Mushrooms with coins.jpg|thumb|The red coins on the mushrooms.]]

To get this star, Mario must find the mushroom Platform area at the beginning of the stage and carefully collect all the [[red coins]] there. He must then carry on slightly further around the mountain to the area with the Monty Moles, and find the rest of the red coins there. They are scattered along the wall with rock platforms to reach them. After all the coins are collected, the star will then appear on the [[Star Marker]] across that area on a giant mushroom.

===Star 4: Mysterious Mountainside===
==Media==
[[Image:Mysterious_Mountainside.PNG|thumb|left]]
{{media table
To acquire this star Mario must find the entrance to a secret slide. It is near the top of the mountain by a [[Fwoosh]]. If Mario walks up to the wall, it may move a little like a painting would. He should jump into it and get into the level.

Mario will find himself in a building with a large slide on it. This slide is noticeably more difficult than the [[Princess's Secret Slide]] and has many curves and jumps. Also, near the beginning is a fork-in-the-road, and if Mario chooses the wrong road, he will fall off the slide and die. At the end of the slide, Mario will go through a hole that will lead him to the star that is located behind a mesh on the side of the mountain.

If Mario dies from falling off the slide and returns to Tall, Tall Mountain through the painting, he would automatically end up at the start of the slide again, thus not requiring him to go all the way up the mountain from the start.

This star is located a fair way up the mountain, behind the waterfall at the spot after the cloud enemy is found. To access it, Mario can either long jump to it, or use the switch further up the mountainside past the grassy area with [[Goomba]]'s on it to create some wooden platforms to the falls. Mario must quickly run before the platforms disappear and grab the star.

This star is situated on a large, isolated mushroom, away from the mountain. It can be accessed by 3 ways. Shortcuts involve long jumping from the top of the mountain, jumping on a [[Fly Guy]] and twirling onto the mushroom. Or the intended method, using the cannon. The cannon is under the island that can be reached by a secret portal on one of the smaller mushroom platforms. The portal will take Mario near a very thin  walkway for him cross. When he gets to the end of the walkway, the cannon will be in front of him. Mario must carefully aim and grab the star in midair.

In the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' version, Mario and the gang could also access the mushroom by waking up to [[Hoot the Owl]] and having him drop them off on top of it.

Tall, Tall Mountain is the twelfth course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. The entrance to the course is the small painting on the second floor of the Mushroom Castle, located directly behind the staircase. This is the only main course in the DS version that has neither a Switch Star nor a Silver Star mission.
