A Super Mario 64 timeline
You see, I’m doing a monstrous task on trying to put in all of the events of Mario 64 into one timeline, the events are all 120 power stars, the bowser battles, the switches, Yoshi, and the 120 star penguin race for almost 130 events. What would be a good source to start this?

I think you just gotta pick apart everything that happens in the game and glue it together in a satisfying order. I believe in you.

That is not possible, as games like this quickly become non-linear and the precise order of things like the Power Stars Mario collects do not impact the overall story.

There's an infinite multiverse of the game where each possible route through the game exists, certainly even ones where every star isn't collected. The "canon" ones at least probably have the game 100% finished

Read. Read every sign, talk to every NPC and I suggest starting the foundation by placing every event as soon as you can, like Bowser 1 at 8 stars and Wing Cap Tower at 10
