Sandy Slide Secret is a secret level in Super Mario Star Road, and is accessed by either long jumping or triple jump diving from the staircase to the chandelier and climbing the chain. The level is a desert slide, which also features red coins and explorable areas around the slide itself.
Levels[]
Slide Race[]
Mario must reach the bottom of the slide in under 18 seconds for this star. This is easier by sliding through the window with the red coin, below the Phanto image, but it is doable without it.
8 Red Coins[]
For this star, Mario must collect the 8 red coins scattered throughout the slide. Their locations are as follows:
- On a ledge behind the start
- On the big pink structure
- On the big pink structure
- Between two arches on the slide
- On top of the large bird statue
- Through the window under the Phanto image
- Above the platform between the gaps, right before the finish line
- Through the pipe, on the pink beams
after collecting all 8 red coins, the star appears on the platform with the pipe.
Star Replica[]
Appears after Mario has collected 121 stars! This star is on the top level of the pink structure near the top of the slide. Getting on the first level is easy, but getting to the top requires a fairly precise triple jump wallkick, off the inside of one of the beams, and ledge grabbing the beam on top without hitting the beam itself. This is one of the more difficult tricks in the game so it may take several tries.
Enemies[]
- Goomba
- Pokey
Trivia[]
- It is possible to clip through the wall on the right side of the start, just above the short wall, and fall all the way to the finish line. This technique is commonly used in speedruns.
- Although a sign at the start says that if the player is unable to collect the red coins or arrive to the goal before the limit time they must lose a life, one can actually long jump back to the track and try at least to finish collecting the remaining red coins.
