• If you'd like to get even more extra lives by the wall of the roof, there are a few more surrounding the wall area on the top of the castle.

• Use this jump to go to secret areas in the levels that you weren't able to access earlier in the game, and get extras.

• If you'd like to meet Yoshi earlier in the game, you can wall jump towards the left area of the castle, and start wall kicking. Although it will take some time, you should be able to eventually make it to the top of the castle and there you will find Yoshi.

• Note that if you are playing Super Mario 64 DS, you will be unable to meet Yoshi, as he is playable in the game. You will also need 150 stars (as opposed to the 120 in the Nintendo 64 game.) for the cannon to open so that you can get to the top of the roof of the Castle.
