In super Mario 64 ds what do you do with the sunbeam that is in the castle?

Answer 1

Stand on the sun design in the center, press X, then use the arrow keys to look around until you see the light on the ceiling. If you go somewhere and the beam disappears, you can still look around for the white spot on the ceiling. What happens is you enter a secret level with a big red switch in the center, but you need Mario. You're flying, and if you turn right, you'll see some red coins. You can fly around in a large circle and get the red coins, or you can go straight to the switch and jump on it. This turns all red blocks solid, and they will either contain a Power Flower which gives Mario the ability to float, Luigi disappearing power, Yoshi fire breath, and Wario a body of metal. But sometimes, with Mario, the block will contain a feather, giving him the ability to fly. (You either have to triple jump or get shot out of a cannon to start flying.) The only exception is in Snowman's Land, where if Mario hits a red block, a Bob-omb will come out.
