Continue right, defeating four more Pile Driver Micro-Goombas and a Red Koopa Troopa. Hit the ? Block on the right for an Invincible Starman.
Defeat the Pile Driver Micro-Goomba and Firesnake. Use the Note Blocks to reach the top of the structure on the right.
Kill the two Goombas, fall into the hole, and head left to break into the structure.

After being deposited on the second structure, move left while the P-Block effect is active. Fall through the Coin to enter the structure.
Collect the Coins as the P-Switch effect wears off, being careful of the Firesnake.

Collect more Coins and hit the invisible block containing a 1-Up.
Swim left past Cheep-Cheeps to return to the starting wooden platform.
When you reach the P-Switch ledge, step onto it. Wait for the wooden platform to start moving right ahead of you before activating the P-Switch.
Jump right onto the now-coin-filled wooden ledge and collect the Coins.
