- 13Wait for the platform to stop and rotate again, facing the north-east Boo.
- 14You will pass two Flying ? Blocks, each containing one coin.
- 15The platform will stop at a main platform; run right.
- 16Six ? Blocks are present with spiked blocks between them. The left-most two and right-most two contain one coin each.
- 17The third ? Block from the left contains a Fire Flower.
- 18The ? Block third from the right contains multiple coins.
- 19After grabbing the Fire Flower, move south to the unlit brazier.
- 20Shoot a fireball at the brazier to light it, causing a Super Mushroom to appear.
- 21Two Poison Mushrooms will also appear, moving towards you. Grab the Super Mushroom and destroy the Poison Mushrooms with fireballs.
- 22Move right and jump onto the Switchboard.
- 23Move right on the Switchboard, waiting for sliding blocks to retract before passing them.
- 24Face the Boo as you move past the blocks and wait for the second block to slide in.
- 25Continue to the end of the rail and drop to the rail below.
- 26Move left, jumping over low sliding blocks and ducking under high ones.
- 27Keep moving until the end of the rail, facing the Boo to prevent it from chasing you.
- 28Move the Switchboard off the rail and drop to the one below.
- 29Continue left and hit the Roulette Block at the end of the rail. Ensure the Switchboard is to the right of the block to grab the item.
- 30Keep moving left to the end of the rail.
- 31Star Coin Alert! #1: A Tanooki Boo and normal Boo are to the north-east. The Star Coin is left and above the Switchboard.
