Detailed walkthrough for Part 61 of Super Mario 3D Land, covering Star Coin locations, enemy strategies, and level progression to help you beat the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the starting platform, crawl into the hole on the south side of the sand-colored blocks to collect extra coins.
  2. 2
    Grab the Green Clock and enter the Cannon. Aim at the upper half of the yellow ring and fire.
  3. 3
    On the new platform, hit the P-Switch to your right. Collect the trail of rainbow notes for a 1-Up.
  4. 4
    Hit the other P-Switch to the left of the first one and collect the trail of coins.
  5. 5
    You can hit the ? Block on the left side of the platform multiple times for extra coins, but watch out for Cheep-Cheeps.
  6. 6
    Hit the ? Block on the north-eastern side of the platform, again watching out for Cheep-Cheeps. You will get stuck in it and receive continuous coins until you take damage.
  7. 7
    Star Coin Alert! #3: Jump inside the Cannon on the north-western side of the platform. Aim above the yellow ring platform to your right. Fire and land on the platform to grab the Star Coin. From here, you can enter the Warp Box to warp back to the Cheep-Cheep platform or hover down to the platform with the Goal Pole using Tanooki Mario.
  8. 8
    Re-enter the Cannon on the Cheep-Cheep platform and aim at the middle of the three 1-Ups (the outer two are fake). Fire to grab the 1-Up.
  9. 9
    Move to the left side of the platform you landed on and hit the P-Switch. Follow the trail of coins to the Goal Pole. Make sure to get a sufficient run-up to grab the top of the Goal Pole for an extra 1-Up.

Special 1-4 Walkthrough:

  1. Move right and jump onto the far right rock with the shadow of a Star Coin on it. Jump up to grab Star Coin Alert! #1 and drop back down to continue across the bridge.
  2. Hit the ? Block for a coin and continue. Avoid the boomerangs thrown by the two Boomerang Bros. ahead by jumping over them and stomping them. Be mindful of returning boomerangs.
  3. Jump off the bridge edge onto the tightrope. Collect coins, avoiding the Paragoomba above.
  4. Jump through the red ring and move along the tightrope, collecting red coins and stomping the three Paragoombas.
  5. When grabbing the final red coin, dodge the Boomerang Bro.'s boomerang. Collect the 1-Up (or Statue Leaf if Small/Normal Mario) for collecting all red coins. Jump off the tightrope and stomp the Boomerang Bro.
  6. Star Coin Alert! #2: Near where you got off the tightrope, you'll see a Star Coin's shadow on the ground. Wall jump off the wall behind it to grab the Star Coin.
  7. Jump onto the next tightrope. Stay on the left edge and wait for three Paragoombas to fly over. Perform a large jump (Press 'A' when landing on the tightrope) to stomp the top Paragoomba. Stomp the other two.
  8. Hit the Checkpoint Flag and drop down the steps to your right. Walk through the white flower to spawn a Super Mushroom, grab it, and jump back up the steps.
  9. Hit the Warp Box to warp across the chasm.
  10. Do not hit the first ? Block (it contains a Poison Mushroom). Hit the other ? Blocks and brick blocks for coins.
  11. Walk into the waterfall for a 1-Up. Walk back out and jump onto the tightrope.
  12. Star Coin Alert! #3: Wait for the Paragoomba flying in the gap between the two bottom tightropes to reach its highest point. Perform a large jump on the tightrope (Press 'A' as you land on it), jump up, and stomp on the Paragoomba. Press 'A' as you stomp for extra height to jump onto the tightrope above. Walk to the end of the tightrope, jump off, grab the Star Coin, and fall to the platform below.
  13. Run right across the bridge, dealing with the Boomerang Bro. Jump across the gap and deal with the next one.
  14. Follow the path to the final Boomerang Bro. on the grassy bridge. Wait below him for him to throw two boomerangs. As they return, jump up, wait for him to jump, then stomp him as he throws a boomerang. Dodge the returning boomerang. Move to the end of the platform.
Tips
  • Use Tanooki Mario's hover ability to safely reach platforms or extend jumps.
  • Be patient when dealing with Boomerang Bros., waiting for the right moment to attack and dodging returning projectiles.
  • The ? Block on the left side of the first platform can provide a steady stream of coins if you're careful.
