Level Select Screen

The level select screen is a screen that is shown when the player is selecting a course on a level.

It is usually shown on all levels when the player first enters a course.

Best Time
Some players have shared that their copies include a timer for each stage. It starts once you begin the mission and ends when you collect the Star. On the mission select menu, it shows a record of the player's best time below the coin score.



Bowser Select
In the files of Super Mario 64 DS, an unused version of the level select screen with a wooden emblem of Bowser and no missions can be found. It can be found by loading a level in the unused map select with no mission selection. What it's intention was for is unknown, but it may have been involved in an unused mechanic or the Bowser levels, which usually have no level select screen. However, in some personalized copies, it can appear in place of level select screens when no stars have been collected, indicating Bowser has full control over the level, or in Bowser levels that are given more stars, allowing the player to select missions.
