How do you catch the monkey in Mario 64?

Answer 1

You must be Yoshi. Climb up the tree to the left to make the owl come out. Hitch a ride on him and let go when you reach the highest point possible. You will see a monkey hopping around. Eat him! He says if you let him go he will do you a favor. Let him go. Follow him to the cage. He will break the cage so that you can get your star.

Answer 2

You MUST have Luigi unlocked AND the Red "?" Blocks unlocked before you can

attempt this star. It is impossible to get otherwise. As Luigi, enter the level and make sure everything has stopped. Now, make your

way up the clock simply by jumping over and to each platform. Do this until you

come across a pole that you can climb up. Climb it up, and jump. Behind you is

a platform. Jump to it and get on the grate platform. There is a Red "?" Block.

Use it to become invisible. Now, fall down until you see a cage, then fall into

it and grab your star

Answer 3

All you have to do is run, then dive to catch that darn monkey that stole your hat!
