| abstract | - Rainbow Star Haven is the 15th and final main stage of Super Mario 64 The Green Stars and is located through the 65-star door in the third overworld. The level is one of the most memorable in the game; even before the level begins Mario has to use a cannon to shoot through a hole in the ceiling just to enter it. The brightly-colored blocks, and space setting make the stage very reminiscent of Super Mario Galaxy. The Bob-ombs in the level tell Mario that Bowser broke into their temple and stole their star, which has made the moat around the temple dry up. There are two very tall structures at opposite corners of the level for Mario to climb: one made of colorful blocks, and the other is a more traditional tower. Off the side of the starting area are several floating islands spread out so far apart that they can only be reached by using the cannons conveniently located on each island. One of the most striking obstacles in the game is a giant NES Mario sprite floating in the sky, where each color is a different type of terrain. Nearby the giant Mario is the warp to the Nostalgia Slide, which is hidden in a small alcove around the back side of the platform, underneath the plateau with lots of colored blocks.
