Here's a question I've been sitting on for nearly a year, and only now thought to ask:

In the "pole riding" section of the Bowser's Sub level, I need to climb across the poles over the submarine to collect the star. I know this because I did it on the original version. The problem is the poles aren't there!

Is this a bug with the VC release, or am I just a stupid stupid idiot?

The fact you are playing Mario 64 answers this question :p

I knew I shouldn't have given that as an option

I am just trying hard to resist making "pole riding" jokes.

What's so funny about riding poles? You gotta do it if you want a gold star.

If you were going for The Far Side, it should have been:

Anyone see the animated Far Side movie? I watched it on tv when I was a kid and I have a very surreal memory of it as being awesome. I think I may be the only person alive today who has seen it, as it seems to have fallen into obscurity

Hahaha, I honestly thought that I was the ONLY one in this board who thought of "Boy Meets World" and Mr. Feeny when I saw "MrMatthews" screenname. :D

There should be a BMW or Mr. Feeny drinking game, for whenever he utters "Mr Matthews".

DETENTION MR MATTHEWS!!! DETENTION MR MATTHEWS!

Alright I just won a copy of it off ebay. I should be getting it next week sometime. I beleive it was put out by the BBC. It is Gary Larson's Tales From The Far Side I & II and I have only seen a few copies all of which were VHS:(. The running time is 75 minutes and I remember liking it a lot when I was young but who knows if that will still be the case.
