How do you complete the 5th star on shifting sand land Mario 64 ds?

Answer 1

First make sure you have beaten Bowser in the first battle. If you did, you should have a key to unlock the basement. Do that and go straight ahead till you find a wooden door. Enter it, and go right then forward till you see a fiery hand face. Then turn left and follow the path. At the end is an empty wall. Jump into it and your in Shifting Sand Land.

Answer 2

The pyramid puzzle star is actually 5 silver stars. Go in the pyramid, and on the second floor, you will see 3 silver stars on your touch screen! Collect them all, when you have, go up a few more floors and you will see 2 more silver stars! When you have collected all 5 of them go back to the second floor and here we go!

Answer 3

Shifting Sand Land's fifth star requires you to collect the eight red coins scattered throughout the level.:

Red Coin 1: Go left from where Mario starts the level. There is a red coin

jammed in the very corner of the level. Don't go too fast, though

or you could possibly fall into the quicksand and die.

Red Coin 2: Get to the grey stone structure by the first Pokey near the start of the level. The coin will be in one of the brick blocks here.

Red Coin 3: This coin is found somewhere around the giant rolling blocks.

Red Coin 4: In the water following the area that the third red coin was in.

Red Coins 5-8: All the other coins are in the air around the pillars. You will need a wing cap to get them. Get a wing cap by being Mario when you enter the level, then go to the pyramid and instead of going straight inside, turn left, hit the red ? block there to collect a feather, but if you do not have your cap on you will end up getting a Bob-omb instead.

Answer 4

Go inside the pyramid and roam around for a minute then you will see that silver stars appear on the map of the pyramid on the bottom of your ds. Collect them and then retrieve the star.
