You know on the N64 Version, you don't need 70 to get past the neverending staircase? I wonder if it's possible on this one. Anyway, to do it, you need to do long jumps backwards. After a while, the game kinda glitches and Mario will do multiple long jumps at once and he'll keep doing so until he reaches the top. There was a video on GameFAQs... I tried it out, and it works. The lowest number of stars you can get before you can get to Bowser in the Sky is apparently 31, as there's a trick to get past even the 50 Star Door. I don't know what it is, though...

Neverending staircase is that where the door with the Star on is and says you need 50 stars to open this door

I remember a trick in the 64 version where you would shoot yourself through the stain glass window of Peach at the very top of the castle and that would lead to Bowsers room. Also I do remember so many glitches in the 64 version that you could jump through walls and Staircases. All in all I would say Mario 64 isn't that great of a game.
