Super Mario 74: Ten Years After

Super Mario 74: Ten Years After is a 3D platform adventure where you control Mario, explore different courses, collect Power Stars, and complete platforming missions. Your main objective is to collect 155 stars across 15 main courses and 10 secret courses. Each area has its own layout, objectives, and obstacles. You also need to unlock new areas, find special items, and defeat Bowser as you progress through the adventure.

⭐ Explore 15 Main Courses

Your adventure takes place across several themed environments. Each course has seven stars to collect, with different objectives that require exploration and accurate movement.

Some notable locations include:

• Dice Domain: Search the course for its seven collectible stars.
• Concrete Jungle: Explore an urban-themed area and complete its star missions.
• Bogey Bayou: Explore a swamp environment with a town area.
• Flamework Factory: Complete platforming missions inside a factory-themed course.
• Absolute Zeroasis: Explore a cold environment and search for hidden stars.
• Quicksand Beach: Complete objectives across a sandy coastal area.
• Polluted Pond: Watch out for toxic hazards as you explore this dangerous area.
• Crumble Rumble Tower: Climb through a tower and complete its platforming objectives.

🏃 Master Mario's Movement Skills

Your movement skills are important throughout the adventure. You need to use different jumps and actions to reach platforms, avoid hazards, and collect stars.

Here are some of the main abilities you can use:

• Long Jump: Cover longer distances and cross wide gaps.
• Backflip: Reach higher platforms with a backward jump.
• Wall Jump: Jump between walls to gain extra height.
• Triple Jump: Perform three consecutive jumps to reach greater heights.
• Ground Pound: Hit the ground from the air to activate certain objects.
• Swimming: Move through underwater sections and explore submerged areas.
• Climbing: Use suitable surfaces to reach elevated locations.

Accurate movement is particularly important in the later courses. Some missions require careful jumps and precise landings.

🎩 Use Special Cap Abilities

Three special caps provide additional abilities during your adventure. You need to understand their functions to complete certain missions.

• Wing Cap: Allows Mario to fly through the air and reach distant locations.
• Metal Cap: Gives Mario a metal form for specific environmental situations.
• Vanish Cap: Makes Mario invisible and allows him to pass through certain obstacles.

Look for opportunities to use these abilities when you encounter areas that require something beyond normal jumping and running.

• Find hidden stars across different courses.
