So, my dumbass had never ever played Super Mario 64 untill about a month ago. I've he's tons of people call it fun, so I decided to try it. And you know what, they're right. I freaking love it. The mechanic of how Mario moves can be a bit tricky at first, but if you play long enough, soon you'll be able to barrel roll across every stage like a madman.
I get done freeing that Chain chomp, and I'm thinking that I've completed Bomb-Bomb Battlefield entirely. But then, I go back in the painting just to be sure, and I see the mission "Mario wings to the sky."
I had to get the wing cap. That was obvious, there was no way in hell a cannon was going to launch Mario that high up. The thing was, I didn't know how to get it. I figured that maybe I was in the wrong level, maybe I had to beat a certain boss to get it. I went to that Whomp's fortress, committed brick homicide, climbed the fortress just for fun, and skipped all the way back to the first painting.
Still didn't get it.
I was confused at this point, this was my first time playing this game after all, so I consulted the help of the internet and stuff.
I don't remember what I watched or what I read.
For some reason, my dumbass thought that in order to get the wing cap, you had to get the second star (the 20 second limit I think) in Peach's slide.
Gave up after five tries.
Boy, you can imagine how stupid I felt when I got a star from Jolly Roger bay, saw that light in the hall, and looked up.
So yeah that was short but just wanted to share how much of an uncultured swine I am
