Walkthrough
- 1Coin 1: Right after the blue moving platform (before the W-shaped tilty one), you'll see a cube block. Push it to the left edge of the platform you're on. Then, jump onto the cube and do a double jump to snag this coin.
- 2Coin 2: After the first circular platform that spins around, there's a small area where a Piranha Plant pops out. The coin is right there, so grab it quickly!
- 3Coin 3: Just past where you found Coin 2, you'll come to a wooden teeter-totter platform. Carefully get to the left side of it and drop down onto the grey platform below. Look around for the row of five regular coins; the Red Coin is lined up with them, but it's hanging off the edge of a tiny, almost invisible platform. You'll need to carefully jump to it.
- 4Coin 4: You'll find your first Exclamation Switch here. Hit it, then run up the new stairs. At the top, there's a really steep grey platform with a flamethrower. Dodge the fire and make your way to the top of this platform. The coin is waiting for you right near the edge.
- 5Coin 5: Find the 'elevator' platform – the one that starts moving as soon as you step on it. Ride it past a stationary platform with a Spinning Heart. You'll then see three wooden blocks. This Red Coin is floating directly above the middle of those blocks.
- 6Coin 6: This one's a little further along, on another one of those spinning circular platforms. There's a Spark enemy circling around a platform. The Red Coin is hidden behind that platform, so you might need to adjust your camera to spot it easily.
- 7Coin 7: After the platform with two Goombas, you'll see two moving platforms with a pole in the middle. The Red Coin is hovering directly above that pole.
- 8Coin 8: This is probably the trickiest one! Head to the pipe at the very end of the level. Just before it, you walked up a staircase made of four blue blocks. The Red Coin is hidden directly *below* this staircase. There's a secret platform there that's easy to miss if you don't change your camera angle. Drop down onto the hidden platform to grab this final coin!
