    Crawl back out, grab the Green Clock, and enter the Cannon. Aim at the upper half of the yellow ring and fire.

    Hit the ? Block on the north-eastern side of the platform, again watching for Cheep-Cheeps. You will get stuck in the ? Block and keep receiving coins as you move around 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 fireball platform to your right. Fire and land on the platform to grab the final Star Coin. Enter the Warp Box to warp back to the Cheep-Cheep platform or hover down to the Goal Pole platform if you don't want an extra 1-Up (requires Tanooki Mario).

  11. 11
    Course Clear!
  12. 12
    Special 1-4: Move right and jump onto the far right rock with the shadow of a Star Coin on it. Jump up and grab the Star Coin. Drop back down and continue across the bridge.
  13. 13
    Hit the ? Block for a coin and continue. Jump over the boomerangs thrown by the two Boomerang Bros. and stomp them. Be aware of returning boomerangs.
  14. 14
    Jump off the edge of the bridge and onto the tightrope.
  15. 15
    Collect the coins, being careful not to jump into the Paragoomba above. Jump through the red ring and move along the tightrope, stomping the three Paragoombas. Dodge the boomerang from the Boomerang Bro. near the final red coin and collect the 1-Up (or Statue Leaf if Small/Normal Mario). Jump off the tightrope and stomp him.
  16. 16
    Star Coin Alert! #2: Near the tightrope you just got off, wall jump off the wall behind the Star Coin's shadow to grab it.
  17. 17
    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) and stomp the top Paragoomba, then the other two.
  18. 18
    Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag and drop down the steps to your right. Walk through the white flower at the bottom to spawn a Super Mushroom. Grab it and jump back up the steps. Hit the Warp Box to warp across the chasm.
  19. 19
    Do not hit the first ? Block (it contains a Poison Mushroom). Hit the others and brick blocks for coins.

  21. 21
    Star Coin Alert! #3: Wait for the Paragoomba in the gap between the two bottom tightropes to fly to its highest point. Perform a large jump on the tightrope (Press 'A' as you land) and stomp the Paragoomba. Press 'A' as you stomp for extra height and jump onto the tightrope above. Walk to the end, jump off, grab the Star Coin, and fall to the platform below.
  22. 22
    Run right, across the bridge. Deal with the Boomerang Bro. Be aware of returning boomerangs.
  23. 23
    Jump across the gap and deal with the next Boomerang Bro. Follow the path until you reach the final Boomerang Bro. on the grassy bridge. Sit below his platform and wait 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 and move to the end of the platform. Take a running start...
Tips
  • You can hit the ? Block on the left side of the platform multiple times for extra coins, but watch out for the Cheep-Cheeps jumping through!
  • You can hit the ? Block on the north-eastern side of the platform multiple times for extra coins, but watch out for the Cheep-Cheeps jumping through!
  • When collecting the trail of coins after hitting the second P-Switch, you can hit the ? Block on the left side of the platform multiple times for extra coins if you wish, but watch out for the Cheep-Cheeps jumping through!
  • When collecting the trail of coins after hitting the second P-Switch, make sure you hit the ? Block on the north-eastern side of the platform (again watching out for the Cheep-Cheeps). You'll get stuck in the ? Block and keep receiving coins the more you move around (at least until you take damage).
  • If you don't want an extra 1-Up after grabbing Star Coin #3 in Part 61, you can simply hover down to the platform containing the Goal Pole (you'll need Tanooki Mario to hover).
  • Don't forget about the boomerangs as they return, otherwise you might find yourself taking damage from the Boomerang Bros.
  • When collecting the red coins in Special 1-4, watch out when you grab the final red coin, you're within range of a Boomerang Bro. Dodge his boomerang and collect the 1-Up (or Statue Leaf if you're Small/Normal Mario) for grabbing all red coins.
  • When dealing with the Boomerang Bros. in Special 1-4, wait for him to throw two boomerangs. As they return, jump up, wait for the Boomerang Bro. to jump then stomp on him as he throws a boomerang. Make sure to dodge the boomerang as it comes back.
  • Don't hit the first ? Block after warping across the chasm in Special 1-4, it contains a Poison Mushroom.
