Find all 8 red coins in Super Mario Sunshine Episode 8 and uncover secret shines in Pianta Village.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Cross the bridge to the village. Turn right to the giant tree closest to you. Walk up it and along the giant leaf closest to the bridge to find a red coin at the end.
  2. 2
    Jump off the giant leaf. Facing the village, turn left to get to some tall grass. Hidden in it is a red coin.
  3. 3
    Go to the hot spring and look at the nearby giant tree. Run up to the beehive hanging under the giant tree to get the red coin underneath it, staying as far from the edge as possible, and run back.
  4. 4
    Jump in the hot spring and dive down to the bottom to find a red coin.
  5. 5
    Go to the fruit tree on a raised grassy platform in front of the hot spring. In place of one of the fruits is a red coin.
  6. 6
    To the right of (left from) the hot spring and next to the dried out stream is a bunch of tiny boxes. Ground pound the tallest stack all the way to the bottom for a red coin.
  7. 7
    Go back to the level start and jump down to the brown mushroom that the giant green mushroom is on to get to the underside. Use spin jumps and hovers to get from mushroom to mushroom until you see grating. Cling onto the side of it, flip the panel and climb up top to grab the red coin atop some grating in the distance. Turn left, jump and hover to some grating, turn right and then jump and hover over to the grating with the red coin on top of it. Use the C-stick and A button to get onto the mushrooms again. Use the giant green mushroom to get back to the level start.
  8. 8
    Get on a high place near the center tree and look for a purple platform coming out of the center tree. Backflip and hover over to it, then to another higher up, then to another, then to another. Repeat the process one more time to get to a platform with a Rocket Nozzle. Get it and save. Rocket towards the tree and land on another platform coming out of the tree. Rocket towards the tree again and land on top of the tree. Get on a leaf and rocket up to a platform with a picture of a shine on it for the final red coin. The shine appears on a cloud off in the distance. Two of the five giant leaves have a coin trail on them. Follow the longer coin trail to the end of the giant leaf. Wait for a fluffy puff of fluff to come near you and backflip into it. Wait for the wind to blow your fluff over to the cloud with the shine. Jump off and collect your reward.
Tips
  • When Shadow Mario runs wild in Episode 7, spray him constantly or don't follow his exact steps to avoid the burning goop trail he leaves behind.
  • If you have completed Episode 7 in all 7 levels, Delfino Plaza will be flooded upon your return. You must enter Corona Mountain to face the final boss. You can exit the level to remove the flood.
  • For the Pianta Village Secret Shine: Washing the Sun, pick Episode 8 and go to the highest point of the level (the platform on top of the center tree). Press Y to go into first person and spray the sun until a 2D image of a Shine Sprite appears. A shine will appear above your head.
  • For the Pianta Village Secret Shine: The Village Underside Secret's Red Coins, pick Episode 5, get Yoshi, and make your way to the bonus stage with FLUDD. Ground pound the red switch to make 8 red coins appear with a 1 minute 30 second time limit. The first red coin is above the second chuckster's head.
  • Before talking to the village mayor (which makes the shine appear), talk to all the adult village residents you scrubbed off for a blue coin each.
