Wet-Dry World

[Mega 2]

In "Super Mario 64" in Wet-Dry World how do you get the water up all the way?  There's a way to jump it says in the site that doesn't work.

Hmm... It's been awhile since I have played SM64, but as I recall you have to reach the jewel on top of the huge pillar that juts up from the lowest area in the level (not including the underground part).

Or, you can try backflipping into the level in order to begin with the water level at its highest... I don't know.

Yeah, if you do a triple jump in order to get into the Wet-Dry World painting and get as high as you can, the water will be higher than the highest crystal allows. You have to hit the very top of the painting though.
This allows you to reach the cannon to get into the corner caging.

A triple jump is overkill, you can do it with a back flip.

[Hinopio]

True, the backflip is enough.  Also, if I remember correctly you don't have to hit the _extreme_ top of the painting.  I have jumped  around 4/5 of the way to the top and raised the water all the way...

I often do it with a backflip, but I sometimes do it with a triple jump. If the triple jump doesn't work first time then I just backflip, but t-j'ing saves time sometimes...
