This is a renamed mission unique to the Nintendo DS.
When they put a character's name in the title, you need that character to complete the mission. You may use the caps. We warp down to the base of the mountain. We take the rope lift with updated sprite, to the floating island. The Bob-omb Buddy opens the cannon for us and we check out the nearby sign: "Danger! Strong Gusts! But the wind makes a comfy ride." We long jump off the island and the wind picks us up and drops Mario head first into the snow. We aim at the middle of the rock above the tree. We make it across safely. I have also seen people jump off of a Spindrift and spin down and land on the other side of the gap. We punch the Spindrifts on the not-as-narrow ledge. We long-jump across the next gap and backflip up the ledge. The Heart is still there so we can recover health. We miss the first wall jump, then double jump, then wall jump, but jump away from the mountain and slide off.
Take 2- We launch from the cannon and make it back to the wall kick area. We backflip to the first ledge, then triple jump, then wall jump onto the above ledge. We walk across the not-as-narrow ice bridge and get the Star.
Star Get #32, 8 Coins, 3 Lives
The next Star is The Princess's Secret Slide.

Cool, Cool Mountain - Wall Kicks Will Work
This is a mission unique to the N64. This mission exists under a different name in the Nintendo DS.
We land and the top of the mountain and warp down to the base. We took the rope lift to the floating island with the Bob-omb Buddy and had him open the cannon. We then fell off of the island.
Take 2- We warped down to the base to find that the cannon was still open. We aimed above the tree, but missed and fell.
Take 3- We used the cannon and aimed for the rock above the tree. We landed safely and sidled across a narrow ledge, taking damage from a Spindrift. There are a bunch of coins in an arrow formation pointing across a large gap. We long jump across it and come across the real challenge. We past a Heart and backflip onto the ledge above. We then have to wall-jump (wall kick) off the wall onto the ledge above. This took me about 27 tries, and I took lots of damage from falling, which is why the heart is there. Once up on the ledge, I walked across a narrow ice bridge to the Star.
Star Get #28, 7 Coins, 3 Lives

Cool, Cool Mountain - Snowman's Lost His Head
N64
Just past the cabing on a wooden platform near a Spindrift is a body of a snowman. It says "I need a good head on my shoulders. Do you know of anybody in need of a good body? Please! I'll follow you if you do!" After talking to us, the body will immediately start rolling down the mountain, snowballing as it goes. We have to slide in front of it so we can guide it to the head at the end of the mountain slide. We go up to the head who says "Ooooo Nooooo! Talk about out-of-body experiences -- my body has melted away!Have you run into any head hunters lately?? I could sure use a new body! Brrr! My face might freeze like this!"
His face isn't very expressive, but it still seems sad. Soon after, the body rolled down the mountain and missed the head. We crossed the snowman bridge, taking three hits, and warped back to the top of the mountain where the body regenerated. I missed again, but got it on my third try. I slid toward the head when I got off the mountain slide. The body rolled under the head and propped it up. We heard a chime and the head said "Perfect! What a great new body! Here -- this is a present for you. It's sure to warm you up." The head's expression doesn't change much.
The Star appears out of the head and lands nearby.
Star Get #27, 16 Coins, 5 Lives
Nintendo DS
We go up to the body, in the same location as in the N64 version. It gives the same speech and starts rolling. We miss the first time because we kept running into the body and fell behind. The head gives the same speech as well, but has a more distinct frown. We take three hits from the snowmen and warp to the top. We take some fall damage and start the body rolling again. We slid off the mountain.
Take 2- We accidently enter the cabin and get three 1-ups from the slide. We warp back to the top. We slid right into the snowman head's stand and waited for the body. This time was successful and it ran into the head and propped it up. The chime sounds and the snowman smiles. It gives the same speech and the Star appears.
Star Get #31, 31 Coins, 6 Lives
The next Star is Mario's Super Wall Kick.

Cool, Cool Mountain - Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins
N64
On my first take, I got 7 coins while trying to get 100 coins. I fell off when I tried to open the cannon on the floating isle and the lift back to the ground took off without me.
Take 2- See the first take.
Take 3- See the first take, but I got 3 coins.
Take 4- I got the first coin at the top of the mountain near the little penguin. I warped to the base of the mountain and found one on the bridge and another on the other side of the wall at the end of the warp bridge. The next one I found was above a tree near the mother penguin. I took the rope lift to the top, where another Red Coin waits. Along the side of the mountain is another Red Coin, past the snowman head. If you pass the snowmen on the bridge, there is another broken bridge with a Red Coin restting on it. The last Red Coin is tricky to find. I warped back to the top of the moutain and starting sliding down. When the path becomes a bridge, I jumped off toward the mountain, but tried not to slide too much down the slope. The last Red Coin is behind the stack of ice blocks. I warped back up the mountain and started sliding down again, past the bridge, where the path turns sharply that Mario may start sliding backwards. There is an edge at the turn and we jump over it and find a Blue Coin Switch. Nearby is where the Star appears.
Star Get #26, 60 Coins, 5 Lives
Nintendo DS
You need Yoshi for this mission. You cannot complete it without him. The Red Coins are in the same location, but two are frozen in ice blocks. The one at the top of the mountain is frozen. There is a fire nearby. Yoshi can stick his tongue into the fire and breathe one breath of fire. Oddly, we slid down the mountain, landing where the other frozen Red Coin is, where we jumped off the slide to get to in the N64 version. We breathe fire to melt the ice block and get the Red Coin. The other ice blocks will not fall on you. We get a 1-up from the item block. We jump off the ledge and find the next Red Coin at the base of the mountain slide near the Bob-omb Buddy. We grap the Red Coin at the top of the rope lift and cross the snowman bridge, taking a couple of hits. We get the next one near the broken bridge. We get the next two by the warp and another one in the tree, while waking up Hoo. Hoo takes us to the top of the mountain. We melt the ice block at the top for the last Red Coin. We check the map and jump off the mountain, landing near the Star.
Star Get #30, 19 Coins, 4 Lives
We get a message: "You've recovered 30 Power Stars! Now you can open the door with the big Star! But before you move on... Let's just check some things. Did you rescue poor, frightened Luigi? Did you pound the 2 colummns down? I heard that Bowser snuck out of the sea and went underground. Looks like you finally cornered him!
The answer to the 2 questions is no. We haven't even beaten Bowser for the first time yet with the way I'm going. We haven't even found Bowser in the sea, nor heard from Luigi. We'll take care of that. This is just what happens when you play the game in a different order and get more Stars than the game designers planned per check point. Let's keep going!

Cool, Cool Mountain - Big Penguin Race
N64
When we go through the chimney, we find a penguin at the start of the slide while the slide music plays. It says "Hey-ey, Mario, buddy, how zit goin'? Step right up. You look like a fast sleddin' kind of guy. I know speed when I see it, yes siree -- I'm the world champion sledder, you know. Whaddya say? How about a race? Ready... Go/Don't go
This mission took me several tries- 28 in total. I kept falling off the slide and dying. I tried taking the secret path, but at the end, the Penguin said "Whoa, Mario, pal, you aren't trying to cheat, are you? Shortcuts aren't allowed. Now, I know that you know better. You're disqualified! Next time, play fair!" Oh, well, let's try that again.
When I finally made it, the penguin said "You brrrr-oke my record! Unbelievable! I knew that you were the coolest. Now you've proven that you're also the fastest! I can't award you a gold medal, but here, take this Star instead. You've earned it!"
What is with penguins mentioning that we deserve gold medals, but giving us Stars?
Star Get #25, 38 Coins, 4 Lives
Nintendo DS
We find the penguin at the beginning of the slide, but he doesn't greet us by name. He says "I'm the world-champion sledder!!! I may be bulky, but I'm very fast! How about a race? Ready... Go!!/ No thanks
We start the race. I beat him on my third try, but fell off the slide my first two tries. He says "You brr-oke my record! Unbelievable! I heard you were the coolest. Now you've proven that you're also the fastest! I can't give you a gold medal, but here, take this Star instead. You've earned it!" The Star appears behind him.

Cool, Cool Mountain - Li'l Penguin Lost
N64
At the top of the mountain near the cabin is the lost penguin. We pick it up and it starts crying. We slide with it down the mountain and take damage from the snowmen. If Mario gets hurt while carrying the penguin, he will drop it, so be careful and pick up the penguin immediately. At the base of the mountain, in the lake by the cabin, we find a large penguin. It is crying, but when we hand over the penguin, says "Youo found my precious, precious baby! Where have you been? How can I ever thank you, Mario? Oh, I do have this... ...Star. Here, take it with my eternal gratitude. The Star comes out of the mother penguin's back.
Star Get #24, 13 Coins, 11 Lives

By this point, you should have gotten Mario. You need him for this mission. To be exact, you can't use Yoshi (as himself) here. If he tries to pick up the penguin (by eating it), the penguin will say "Ayiiieee! Please don't eat me. I promise that I don't taste good. Plus, I'll give you cavities." Yoshi will then spit the penguin out. We enter the course as Mario and grab the penguin. Unfortunately, the warp at the top of the mountain doesn't work when you're holding the penguin. Fortunately, with the map on the Touch Screen, we can determine a place where we can jump off the mountain and land near the mother penguin to make our lives easier. We pound the ground to avoid taking damage, but we let go of the penguin. We pick it up again and deliver it to the mother penguin, who stands outside the lake. She tells us "You found my precious, precious baby! Where have you been? How can I ever thank you? Oh, I do have this Star. Here, take it with my eternal gratitude." The Star appears from her stomach.

Cool, Cool Mountain - Slip Slidin' Away
Cool, Cool Mountain is the fourth course.
N64
We find ourselves in a room with three paintings of snowmen. We go through the middle one. When we land on this wintery floating island, we get a message: "Snow Mountain Summit Watch for slippery conditions! Please enter the cttage first." We check out the sign near the cottage which says "Santa Claus isn't the only one who can go down a chimney! Come on in -- Cabin Proprietor"
We climb in through the chimney. Inside is an enormous slide and the sliding music starts playing. We start sliding and go through the secret passageway near the first wall marked with a line of coins going into it. We hear a chime and get a 1-up on the way. We land on the ledge in the cabin at the base of the mountain. There is an item block with a 1-up on the ledge. We go out the door and the Star appears.
Star Get #23, 16 Coins, 11 Lives
I later came back to get 100 Coins. I got them by getting most of the coins on the slide, which brought me 71 coins. I warped back up the mountain and slide down the slope for the remaining coins.
Star Get #29, 103 Coins, 3 Lives
Nintendo DS
We're going to get the 100 Coin Star in this mission. We get the same message upon entering. But first, we're going to slide down the mountain first for coins. I got a couple of Red Coins and took three hits from snowmen and a Goomba. I then warped to the top of the mountain so we could enter the cabin. The sign says "Welcome to the slide! Hop on and take a ride! When sliding in Standard Mode, press Up on the (Control Pad) to accelerate. to decelerate, press Down on (Control Pad). Use the Touch Screen to turn more smoothly than the (Control Pad). The slide music starts playing and we start sliding. I fell off the slide.
Take 2- I decide to go down the slide first. I reach the end with 77 coins. I left the cabin and the Star appeared. I took a couple of hits from Goombas. I still need 100 Coins, so I warped to the top. I got the 100 Coin Star at the bottom of the mountain slide.
Star Get #26, 101 Coins, 3 Lives
I returned to the base of the mountain for the mission Star.
