Hey there! Ready to tackle Episode 9 of Super Mario Sunshine, 'The Red Coins of Hillside Cave'? This is a hidden episode, so you'll need to have completed Episode 3: The Hillside Cave Secret first. You can get back into the cave by revisiting either Episode 3 or Episode 6. Let's dive in!
Walkthrough
- 1Once you're inside the cave, your first task is to ground pound the red button. This will make all 8 Red Coins appear, but you'll only have one minute to grab them all! Luckily, you've got your FLUDD pack this time, which makes hovering and navigating the tricky parts much easier than before.
- 2The 1st coin is on the second moving block you see right after starting.
- 3Next, you'll encounter a section with orange moving blocks. There are 4 coins here, with 1 coin located in each part of this orange block area.
- 4After you've successfully navigated the orange blocks, look to your right. You'll find the 6th and 7th coins on some spinning star platforms.
- 5Now, head back towards the long path that has white cubes on it. From there, jump and hover over to another spinning star platform. This is where you'll find the 8th and final coin.
- 6Once you've collected all 8 Red Coins, the Shine Sprite will appear at the end of the obstacle course. You'll need to make your way back across the long path and then over the final set of spinning stars to reach the last platform and claim your prize!
Tips
- Remember, you only have one minute to collect all 8 Red Coins after hitting the button, so be quick!
- Your FLUDD pack's hover ability is your best friend here. Use it to make tricky jumps and avoid falling.
- Pay close attention to the platforming sections; missing a jump could cost you precious time.
