Complete Part 70 and Special 3-2 in Super Mario 3D Land, including Star Coin locations and tips for navigating pendulums and rotating blocks.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the pendulum, wait for it to swing right and jump onto the Donut Blocks.
  2. 2
    Try to hit all five Parabiddybuds ahead without touching the ground to receive a 1-Up.
  3. 3
    At the end of the Donut Blocks, take the north-east path.
  4. 4
    Jump onto the pendulum platform. When it moves down, jump up through the red ring and back onto the pendulum.
  5. 5
    Jump off at the other side and run along the path, collecting the five red coins.
  6. 6
    Grab the 1-Up (or Statue Leaf if you're normal/small Mario) that appears after collecting all red coins.
  7. 7
    Backtrack to the first two brick blocks. Hit the left one for a coin and stomp the blue Biddybud for another.
  8. 8
    Jump up to the next platform, stomp the two Biddybuds there, and hit the left brick block multiple times for coins.
  9. 9
    Continue right and jump off the platform to the Donut Blocks below.
  10. 10
    Collect the coin on the Donut Blocks, go south, and jump onto the rubber platform for another coin.
  11. 11
    Wait for the Donut Blocks to reappear, then jump back north and continue on.
  12. 12
    At the end of the path of Donut Blocks is a pendulum. Wait for it to swing to the left, then jump on.
  13. 13
    Grab the two coins on the left side, then let the pendulum swing right.
  14. 14
    Jump off the right side down onto a pendulum below.
  15. 15
    Let the pendulum swing right and jump onto the one it comes level with.
  16. 16
    Stand on the left side of the platform. When it reaches the right side, take a running jump off the right edge and onto the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.

Special 3-2 Walkthrough:

  1. Run right and jump onto the rubber platform. Bounce up onto the first rotating block, staying on the uppermost face.
  2. When the next edge points directly up, move to the next face.
  3. Jump from the first block to the second one. Jump off this one and air-stomp one of the Paragoombas to reach the platform.
  4. Run right and hit the Flying ? Block for a coin, using it as a step to get to the platform above.
  5. Run right and roll, Tail Spin, or Statue Pound the Spiny.
  6. Run back and jump onto the ? Block, then jump from there onto the platform above.
  7. Hit the two ? Blocks. The left contains a coin; the right, a Statue Leaf.
  8. Run right and jump onto the red rotating block, then to the blue, then green. Run north along the green block, staying near the top.
  9. At the end, jump right onto the yellow block.
  10. Jump from the yellow block to the red one and onto the platform.
  11. Move right, underneath the yellow block. Wait for a face of the blue block to come up on the left side, then jump up onto it.
  12. From the blue block, jump up onto the yellow block and then onto the platform above.
  13. Move north and jump onto the blue rotating block, then to the red one.
  14. To get onto the green one, wait for its top face to be near flat, then quickly jump on and run right.
  15. Run to the edge and jump onto the platform.
  16. Grab the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag here.

Star Coin Alert! #3 (Part 70):

  • Let the pendulum you're currently on swing to the left. The Star Coin is above the pendulum below.
  • Jump down toward the pendulum below, grab the Star Coin as you fall, and land on the pendulum platform.

Star Coin Alert! #1 (Special 3-2):

  • The first Star Coin is on the blue block to your right.
  • Jump onto the blue block, grab the Star Coin, and jump back to the yellow block, staying on the top.

Star Coin Alert! #2 (Special 3-2):

  • The second Star Coin is to the right of the Checkpoint Flag.
  • Jump onto the left side of the rubber platform to your right.
  • Perform a large jump (pressing 'A' as you land on it) and jump to your left to grab the Star Coin and fall back to the platform.
Tips
  • In Part 70, you can stall time by waiting on one Donut Block for as long as you can before needing to jump onto another.
  • In Part 70, don't hover on pendulums for too long, or the one you're aiming for will swing away.
  • In Special 3-2, remember the rule for rotating blocks: stay on the uppermost face to avoid falling.
  • In Special 3-2, you can string air-stomps together to collect extra coins from Paragoombas.
  • In Special 3-2, perform a small jump on the second pendulum to avoid it swinging away before you land.
  • In Special 3-2, when jumping for the second Star Coin, make sure you're on the very edge of the rubber platform when you jump off it.
