Super Mario 64 (et DS) : First world of Bowser - Bowser in the Dark World

The first world of Bowser is in the lobby. Climb the stairs and go left. It takes 8 stars to pass the door. To finish the level of Bowser, just follow the path avoiding to fall in the holes despite the different traps. This page will just tell you where to find the 8 red pieces showing the star right next to the pipe leading to Bowser.

1. Start by walking up to the big purple button and push it down, then make a quick turn around and go to the start to take the first red piece while walking. on the wooden blocks that will disappear at the end of the timer.
2. The second piece is next to the purple button. Press it again and take it. Be careful not to burn your buttocks. The fire does not affect you if you stay on the block of wood (but watch out for the timer).
3. After a few platforms, you will find the third red piece protected by an electric ball. Take it without stopping and continue on your way.

4. This piece is not hard to take but you have to see it, it's right behind the wall.     
5. You can take this piece safely by staying in the corner of the moving platform.     
6. After jumping on the platform that does not move, turn right and follow the small path to find this 6th room.

7. Stay a moment at the beginning of the second scale then run to reach the platform at the top. Go back and make a jump in length then 2 small jump to recover the 7th piece.
8. Turn around and repeat 2 jump and then fall off the platform while remaining on the edge to find the 8th piece.

The star appears behind the pipe. Follow the path and remember to retrieve it before entering the pipe to fight Bowser.

Bowser is not very mean, he draws some flames easy to avoid (and which in addition often leaves parts to heal). He must quickly go around to catch his tail (with B). Once done, rotate the stick and try to throw it on a mine at the edge of the arena. If it can be launched very far, it is quite difficult to target in this case. So, I advise you not to throw it too hard in the direction of a mine and to rechop the tail. If you're fast, you just have to run over and dive to not even give him time to shoot. Once you are close to a mine, it will be very easy to drop the tail at the right time because there will be no need to turn very fast.
