Complete walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land Part 10, including how to get all three Star Coins and reach the Goal Pole.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump onto the Switchboard and ride it down, collecting coins. Stomp the Paragoomba in mid-air.
  2. 2
    Grab the Tanooki Leaf from the ? Block mid-air as it appears to prevent it from falling away.
  3. 3
    Dodge or stomp the next three Paragoombas.
  4. 4
    Star Coin Alert! #1: Ride the Switchboard until it hits the water geyser. This will launch it to the upper rail. Stay in the center and move forward to grab the Star Coin. If missed, move back to gain speed and retry. Once obtained, let the Switchboard drop back to the lower rail.
  5. 5
    Continue on the Switchboard down a steep slope, dodging the Paragoomba at the bottom.
  6. 6
    Dodge around the brick blocks used as obstructions.
  7. 7
    Star Coin Alert! #2: Jump onto the next Switchboard. Ride it until you fall to the lower rail. Move back in the direction you came from. Stay in the center and jump to slow the Switchboard down while dodging the Paragoomba. As soon as you see the Star Coin, jump to slow the Switchboard, then land on the side that moves it back away from the edge to grab it.
  8. 8
    As you switch between Switchboards, dodge fire from a Venus Fire Trap.
  9. 9
    Jump off the rail onto the earthen platform to the north and hit the purple ? Block to enter the bonus area.
  10. 10
    In the bonus area, hit the left ? Block for a Tanooki Leaf, then the middle, then the right for coins. Let the timer run out.
  11. 11
    Back in the exterior, hit the two ? Blocks and jump back on the Switchboard.
  12. 12
    Star Coin Alert! #3: Dodge the sudden Paragoomba. Stop the Switchboard or move it left as it hits the left geyser to be pushed onto the rails above. Move left to grab the Star Coin.
  13. 13
    Move back to the lower rail and right through both geysers, staying on the lower rail.
  14. 14
    Grab the Green Clock at the end of the rail and return to the right geyser.
  15. 15
    This time, be stationary or moving slightly right when the geyser pushes the Switchboard to the rail above.
  16. 16
    Keep moving right, staying in the center and at the very right edge of the Switchboard to collect coins as you slide down the slope.
  17. 17
    You will be shot into the air by a geyser and land on the rail below.
  18. 18
    Move the Switchboard south-west instead of north-east and follow the rail to the end. Hit the ? Block for a 1-Up.
  19. 19
    Move the Switchboard north-east. At the end, jump off into the Warp Pipe.
  20. 20
    (Optional Tanooki Mario) Hop onto the top of the Warp Pipe, jump up, wall jump off the wall, and hover onto the platform connected to the same wall. Move through the shrubs to receive a coin from each.
  21. 21
    Enter the Warp Pipe.
  22. 22
    Jump up the stairs and onto the Switchboard. Position yourself for a run-up.
  23. 23
    Run up and jump off the very edge just as the Switchboard is about to fall to the lower rail to reach the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
Tips
  • Jumping on a Switchboard while it's moving will cause it to keep moving while you go straight up.
  • When dodging brick blocks, being pushed back will simply move you to the other side and change the Switchboard's direction, preventing you from falling off.
  • If you miss the water geyser for the first Star Coin, move back to gain enough speed before reaching it again.
  • For the second Star Coin, if you go past it, you will fall off the rail to your death, so be quick to slow the Switchboard and grab it.
  • When grabbing the third Star Coin, ensure the Switchboard is moving left when it hits the left geyser.
  • To get the 1-Up at the end, jump off the very edge of the Switchboard as it's about to fall.
