Tiny-Huge Island: Difference between revisions

On the Tiny Island, the player starts in a small field with a [[Mini Goomba|Goombette]]. The doorway to the right is too small to go through, so the player has to [[jump]] to the platforms to the left to progress. On the first platform are a [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]] and a [[! Block|yellow block]] containing a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]], and the second platform includes a [[Small Piranha]] and a Shrinker Pipe. Next to the pipe is a [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] that causes [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s to appear, and the player can use them to get to a small floating platform or to get up onto the above ledge. The floating platform contains a single [[coin]] and a [[warp]] in a corner to get back to the main island. The ledge above has [[iron ball]]s rolling down it, knocking the player back if they connect. Down the path to the left is a small bridge leading to a Shrinker Pipe and several platforms the player can jump across. Past the platforms are a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] that opens the [[cannon]] on the Huge Island and a body of [[water]] with a sloped beach and a small wooden bridge above it. In the DS version of the game, [[Klepto]] is circling the post in the middle. Back on the path with the iron balls and to the right is a Shrinker Pipe next to a series of platforms acting as steps to a bridge that leads to the top of the mountain. Beyond the hole that the iron balls are coming out of is a small field with Goombettes and a [[Small Koopa Troopa]]. Due to its size, this Koopa Troopa does not give out a [[Green Shell|shell]] for the player to ride on, and it is defeated after a single touch or even if [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] touches it.

{{footnote|note|1|Two of the coins on the Tiny Island are underground near the box that releases [[iron ball]]s, forming a coin slope that disappears into the narrower slope that forms the ground.<ref>"[https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_64_(Nintendo_64)#Tiny-Huge_Island Super Mario 64]."

The second one cannot be collected by standard means. However, it can be retrieved by diving into the summit of the "Tiny" Island, where Mario would find himself [[swim]]ming, and then jumping out of the "water" and diving towards the coin.<ref>pannenkoek2012 (June 12, 2014).
