Run for It

- Star Coin 2 With the help of a Koopa Paratroopa, you can reach the coin. Use the Koopa as a springboard.

Swim for Your Life!

Spinning Platforms of Doom

- Star Coin 3 Here again you need the Super Acorn. There is another one hidden under the blue tube. Fly there. In the secret room, the Star Coin floats in a small cave.
Fire Bar Cliffs
- Wait until there is a short gap, ideally when the fireballs are to the left of the coin.
- Star Coin 2 In front of a row of fire rollers, a tube hidden in a wall leads to an underground area with the second Star Coin.
- Star Coin 3 Shortly before the goal you will find a hidden tube by the three beams on the left. Behind it is the last Star Coin.
Lakitu! Lakitu! Lakitu!
- Star Coin 1 As soon as the green blocks are down, get them.
- Star Coin 2 This coin is also impossible to miss. You can reach them with targeted jumps.
- Star Coin 3 Grab the Cloud of Lakitu and you will easily see the bottom of the Star Coin shimmering behind a rock. Fly there and get it.
Pendulum Castle
- Star Coin 1 Stand over the Star Coin and wait for the donut block to fall down. Once you have it, jump up.
- Star Coin 2 At the end of the block row of coin 1 you will find a hidden tube in the top right. You will find a star at the top right, with this it is easy to reach the coin.
- Star Coin 3 Activate the red blocks. On the other side you can see and collect the Star Coin.
Follow That Shell!
- Star Coin 1 Take the Koopa shell and throw it on the blocks to clear the path to the coin.
- Star Coin 2 Shortly before the finish post you will find an area that looks tempting for a shell. Throw this in and activate the P Switch in the second row of coins so that the shell automatically collects the coin.
- Star Coin 3 If you time it right, the shell will activate the beanstalk at the end, which will lead you to the last coin in the game. Otherwise you get a new shell and throw it against the block.
