Map of Cool, Cool Mountain inSuper Mario 64 DS

The player starts off on the top of the mountain next to a cottage. The cottage chimney contains an entrance to theCabin's Snow Slide, and it also has alarge penguin to race against from thethird mission onward. Above the cottage is a small penguin namedTuxie, and behind the cottage is a platform with aSpindrift, as well as a snowball for completing thefifth mission. To the right of the starting area is a broken bridge thatwarps the player's character to the bottom of the mountain, and to the left is a large slide that winds about halfway down the mountain.

At the bottom of the slide is theHeadless Snowman along with a couple of Spindrifts below a ledge. The large bridge nearby contains two jumpingMr. Blizzards that the player must avoid to make it across. Beyond this bridge is a broken bridge that leads to the course'sStar Marker and a series of ramps that lead to the bottommost portion of the mountain.

Both the ramp and the aforementioned broken bridge warp bring the player to roughly the same spot at the bottom of the mountain. To the left is an empty snowfield with aRed Coin at the end in the original game, though the DS version also has a trio ofGoombas that wear the player characters'caps in this area. To the right is theMother Penguin that Tuxie belongs to as well as the end of the cottage's slide, which is a one-way exit. Thegondola farther to the right brings the player character to the area with the Headless Snowman, though a floating platform with aBob-omb Buddy (and theStar Switch in the DS version) is in the center off to the side of the gondola's path. Near the gondola's starting position is acannon that can fire the player character to an area beyond a large gap. This area has a couple of Spindrifts on a narrow ledge along with a large cave thatMario has towall-kick up to reach thesixth Power Star.

Notes[edit]

• InSuper Mario 64 DS, it is possible to get 255 coins (the maximum number of coins allowed) by entering the cabin repeatedly and defeating the Goombas with caps and/or destroying theBricks next to the bodiless snowman.
• This is one of the two courses in the game to have more than one cannon, the other being theBob-omb Battlefield. However, it is possible to get every Star without using any of them.
• The music that is played here (as well as the music for Snowman's Land) is a Christmas-themed iteration of the cover ofThe Princess's Secret Slide's music. A remix of the music also appears as the music for theDream Snowball Fight event in theWii version ofMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.
• In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack inMinecraft, one of the paintings that can be hung on a wall is the Cool, Cool Mountain painting.
• TheSuper Mario 64 Player's Guide gives the 100-Coin Star the nameDough in the Snow.^[12]
• One of the1-UP Mushrooms in the slide shortcut clips out of bounds before the player can collect it inSuper Mario 64, but this error was fixed inSuper Mario 64 DS.
