Learn how to master wall kicks and reach the hidden star in Super Mario 3D All-Stars. This guide details cannon usage, Spindrift tricks, and precise jumps.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the level and take the teleport at the broken bridge to reach the bottom of the level.
  2. 2
    Go to the ski lift and find the small island in its path. Speak with the Bob-Omb Buddy on the island to activate the cannons.
  3. 3
    Return to the bottom of the mountain near the ski lift.
  4. 4
    Enter the cannon and aim for the lone tree in the distance. Aim higher than usual to compensate for Mario's aerial drop; align the bottom arrow of the reticle with the corner of the blue-gray land to the right.
  5. 5
    If aimed correctly, you will grab the tree while flying.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, from the area with the snowman on a pedestal, jump on a nearby Spindrift enemy and float down to the section below, avoiding the wall above.
  7. 7
    Once in the lower area, proceed along the narrow ledge, defeating the two Spindrifts.
  8. 8
    Long Jump across a gap to reach the area with the star.
  9. 9
    The star is on a ledge above. To reach it, go to the right side and perform a normal jump followed by a Wall Jump to the next ledge.
  10. 10
    For the second ascent, perform a Triple Jump before the Wall Jump. Ensure the third jump is closer to the left edge to avoid a slope underneath the wall.
  11. 11
    Continue performing Wall Jumps to reach the top.
  12. 12
    Once at the top, adjust the camera for a clear view of the icy path leading to the star.
Tips
  • If you take fall damage, use the spinning heart located below to restore your health.
  • Practice the Wall Jumps, especially the Triple Jump followed by a Wall Jump, to get the timing and positioning right.
  • Pay attention to the slope beneath the wall when performing the final Wall Jump.
