Mips carries Power Stars and appears in the castle basement at particular progression thresholds. His catch challenge adds a small movement puzzle between courses.

  • Story: The player can encounter him more than once as the star total grows. A successful first catch does not mean his entire reward role is finished.
  • In the game: Anticipate where he will run and use corners to restrict his options. Chasing directly behind him indefinitely is less effective than positioning Mario to intercept the next turn.

Pictures made from the Super Mario 64 (USA) game data: characters, enemies and items are drawn from their own 3D models, posed with a frame of one of their own animations; courses are drawn from their level geometry with their objects in front of their own sky. They are rendered without the game’s fog, shadows or moving water textures, so they look a little cleaner than on the console.
