Hidden Star: Burning Tide

You’ll begin near a large lava lake. Make your way across the sinking platforms, watching out for the li’l cinders and fire jets. Stand on the platforms for too long and they will sink into the lava, causing burn damage.

Once across the lake, head up the steps and past the fire jets. Wall jump up the concrete block and ground pound it to reveal another wall jumping structure. Head up that and then go right to take a sling star towards the volcano. Take the second sling star near the volcano, then the Launch Star to head up to a new set of planets. Collect as many Star Bits as possible while flying.

On the glass planets, instead of going right, speak to the Hungry Luma to the left. Feed the Hungry Luma 80 Star Bits to transform it into a Launch Star and create a new planet.

On the new planet, collect all five Silver Stars. The lava moves in tides, so paths will only be visible for a short time.

From the first mound, head downwards. At the junction, head right to grab the first Silver Star in the center of fire jets.

Wait for the path to reveal itself and head all the way left to grab the second Silver Star, surrounded by Lava Bubbles.

When the path reveals itself again, head upwards towards a tall metal pole. Climb up it and jump to grab the third Silver Star.

Wait for the tide to go out, then head north east to grab the fourth Silver Star, surrounded by li’l cinders.

The final Silver Star can be found on a path to the left of the Blue Lava Bubbles mound. Dodge the fire bars to get to it.

When all five Silver Stars are collected, a Power Star will spawn in the center of the lava planet. Reach it via the paths when the tide is down.
