Pinna Park

Red coins in the cannon course

Choose Episode 2 again and jump into the cannon. Activate the red switch in the secret course and collect the coins on the disappearing blocks.

Sirena Beach

Red Coins in the Hotel Course

Choose Episode 2 again and enter the secret course in the hotel. Activate the red switch and collect the coins on the sandy blocks and between opponents.

Red coins in the casino course

The Golden Bird

This task can be done in several episodes. Climb through the ruins to the secluded upper area with a single tree.

There is a golden bird flying around. spray him repeatedly with water until he turns into an Shine Sprite.

Red coins in the shell secret course

Choose Episode 6 again and enter the secret course in the big shell. Activate the red switch and collect the coins on the ropes and narrow platforms.

Pianta Village

Red coins in the launcher course

Choose Episode 5 again and enter the secret course on the bottom of the village. Activate the red switch. You have limited time to collect all eight coins.

The palm trees throw Mario in the direction in which they look. Stand as close as possible to them and speak to them only when their direction is right.

The Shine Sprite image

Go to the top of the village in a suitable episode. Activate the Mario camera and look at the sun.

Spray the sun or the image recognizable therein until an Shine Sprite drawing appears. Fill the entire picture with water to expose the last bonus Shine Sprite.
