For the second Power Star of the level, [[Mario]] has to race thea Gargantuabig [[Koopa Troopa]] named [[Koopa the Quick]]. Mario has to reach the flagpole at the summit of the mountain before Koopa the Quick does. This Star isn't too difficult since Koopa The Quick isn't especially fast and takes a rather long path. However, just like when racing the Big Penguin in [[Cool, Cool, Mountain]], the player can't cheat. Using one of the [[Cannon]]s scattered across Bob-omb Battlefield will make Koopa Thethe Quick refuse to give away the star. However, players are allowed to use the warp on the side of the mountain, where the cannon balls fall out of. In fact, the player is allowed to take any short cuts at ''all'' as long they don't involve any of the cannons.

To get to the flagpole, the player must follow the dirt path to a wooden bridge, passing several [[Goomba]]s. After crossing the wooden bridge, the player must follow another dirt path, this time avoiding a [[Bob-omb]] and a [[Chain Chomp]]. This path will lead to another wooden bridge that will tip if the player doesn't cross it fast enough. Meanwhile, [[Koopa the Quick]] will fail to cross this bridge, but then attempt to cheat by climbing the white rock that the player can't climb. There will be two spaces of land ahead of the player, but they should head to the right, in the direction towards the mountain. In this area, there will be several [[Bob-omb]]s and falling water bombs. The player should try to dodge these enemies. If the player gets to the end of the field, they will find a gate, allowing access to the mountain. The rest of the course is simple, but easier said than done. The player must climb the path which rotates in a circular motion. Giant metal balls roll down the path, having the player to dodge or jump over them. Once the player gets to the top, they will see a flag with a [[Green Shell]] on it. If the player stands near it or jumps onto it, they will beat [[Koopa the Quick]] and receive a star. If they fail, they will have to try again. If Mario gets to the Flag ahead of Koopa the Quick he also will have to wait until Koopa the Quick reaches the flagpole to win the Star.

This mission is pretty much the same in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. However, there is a slight change. Koopa Thethe Quick will only want to race against Mario himself. Since [[Yoshi]] is the only character available at the time, Yoshi must take a [[Mario's Hat|Mario Cap]] and then race against Koopa Thethe Quick. However, the player can choose to get another [[Power Star]] to get the real Mario from defeating [[Goomboss]]. If Yoshi loses the cap during the race for various reasons, Koopa Thethe Quick will wonder where Mario is and won't relinquish the Star. If the player regains their Mario Cap and wins the race, Koopa the Quick will act like Yoshi lost.
