Complete walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land Part 101, including Star Coin locations and Special 8-3.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Move north and jump onto the left of the two blocks near the platform.
  2. 2
    Dodge the wrench thrown by the left Rocky Wrench and jump to its platform.
  3. 3
    From there, jump to the block to your left, then left again onto the block with the Warp Pipe.
  4. 4
    Wait next to the Warp Pipe for the Rocky Wrench inside to pop up. Stomp it and enter the pipe.
  5. 5
    You will appear on a platform above the previous blocks. Break the brick block to reveal a gear.
  6. 6
    Spin the gear using your Tanooki Suit's Tail Spin. Keep going until the platform stops moving upwards.
  7. 7
    When it stops, move north-east to the Star Coin. Jump up and grab it before the platform drops. Drop back to the platform.
  8. 8
    You can get an item from each of the Roulette Blocks by Ground Pounding them. If you don't have a Statue Leaf for the second Star Coin, this is a chance to obtain one.
  9. 9
    Jump off the left edge of the platform, following the coins down to the platform below.
  10. 10
    To get two 1-Ups, kick the Green Shell north-north-east so it bounces to the right, hits the wall, and bounces back. This should defeat all Rocky Wrenches.
  11. 11
    Move to the north edge of the platform and jump onto the block there.
  12. 12
    Stay in the center and jump from block to block until you reach the large block at the end.
  13. 13
    Wait for the large block to move clockwise enough to run up it. Move right to the end and wait for it to move back.
  14. 14
    Jump onto the small face at what will soon be the top. Ride the block past the Poison Mushroom until it stops moving and jump off onto the next block.
  15. 15
    Run along the first part of the block until you reach the next part, staying in the center.
  16. 16
    When the block moves clockwise enough to jump onto the next part and run right, do so. Follow the path around, staying on the face closest to being upright until you reach the very end of the block.
  17. 17
    Wait at the end and let the block move right until you can jump to the small block with the Warp Box.
  18. 18
    Jump onto the block. Stay in the center until the face with the Star Coin moves to the top. Grab the Star Coin.
  19. 19
    You can break the fake 1-Up, Goomba, and Warp Pipe for a coin each. Jump into the Warp Box.
  20. 20
    You will warp to the platform above. Move left and enter the Warp Box there.
  21. 21
    This will warp you to the block next to the Goal Pole. Do not take the right Warp Box unless you want to warp to a point on the Goal Pole that gives ten coins.
  22. 22
    Break the fake 1-Up here for a real 1-Up and grab it.
  23. 23
    Take a running jump off the center of the right edge onto the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.

Special 8-3

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump up and grab the Blue Clock. Bypass the two brick blocks to your left, as they contain nothing.
  2. 2
    Jump up the steps and stomp the Dry Bones. Hit the ? Block for a coin. Ignore the two brick blocks to either side.
  3. 3
    Move north-east and wait next to the platforms floating south-west.
  4. 4
    Jump onto these platforms and run north-east along them. Jump over the Pole 'n' Chain when it swings underneath.
  5. 5
    Grab the Blue Clock near the end and jump to the next set of floating platforms.
  6. 6
    Run along these, jumping over the two Pole 'n' Chains as required. Grab the next Blue Clock at the end and jump to the next set of platforms.
  7. 7
    Wait on the center of the south-west edge of a platform that's about to sink. Let it float until it's underneath the Star Coin. Jump up and grab it, then land on the set of platforms to your south.
  8. 8
    Ride these north-east and jump back to the set of platforms you were just on.
  9. 9
    Run north-east along these platforms, watching out for any Dry Bones that may have spawned from the Baddie Box.
  10. 10
    Jump onto the stable platform and grab the Blue Clock there.
  11. 11
    Jump onto the wooden platform, whether it's being elevated by the lava geyser or not. Ignore or stomp the Dry Bones and jump to the next platform.
  12. 12
    Stomp the Draglet so you don't need to worry about the fireballs it spits.
  13. 13
    Run over to the first Thwomp. Wait for it to slam into the ground before moving underneath. Circle around until it slams again.
