Frosted Glacier-1: Spinning Star Sky

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Step on the star; it will shift depending on which side you are on. Avoid the invincible Munchers below.
  2. 2
    Use the Flying Squirrel suit to easily obtain Star Coin #1.
  3. 3
    If you get the power-up in the block after Star Coin #1, you can access a hidden area with many coins by going underneath it.
  4. 4
    You will need the Super Acorn to reach the brick from underneath, as it summons a vine that leads to the top of the stars, making it easier to get Star Coin #2 and coins underneath it.
  5. 5
    Stay above the Munchers and reach the checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) flag.
  6. 6
    Obtain the green ring and coins at your own risk, as it is difficult to get them without falling into the Munchers.
  7. 7
    Glide down to the two coins you see below and enter the false wall.
  8. 8
    Inside the false wall is a brick containing an Invincibility Star. Use this to run across the Munchers and get Star Coin #3.
  9. 9
    Carefully run along the top of the stars to reach the exit.

Frosted Glacier-2: Cooligan Fields

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Stomp on Cooligans twice to defeat them; the first hit removes their glasses.
  2. 2
    Wait for an opportunity to get Star Coin #1 when it is clear.
  3. 3
    Avoid flocks of Cooligans and reach the checkpoint flag.
  4. 4
    Get the red ring and coins, being wary of Cooligans emerging from pipes. Staying close to the wall allows them to sail over your head.
  5. 5
    Star Coin #2 is located shortly after a slope. A Cooligan slides back and forth over bricks; knock them loose to defeat the Cooligan and wall jump off the pipe to get the Star Coin.
  6. 6
    Eventually, you will encounter flocks of Cooligans. Use them for leverage to reach higher platforms and obtain Star Coin #3.
  7. 7
    Head for the exit.

Frosted Glacier-Fortress: Freezing Rain Tower

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Avoid falling icicles, both small ones that shatter and large ones that can be used as platforms.
  2. 2
    Make your way upwards and defeat Dry Bones if you have ice power.
  3. 3
    Early giant icicles fall only when you reach the wall and will not harm you.
  4. 4
    Two giant icicles stack to reach a tilting platform.
  5. 5
    Another giant icicle is stopped by a blue block, allowing you to safely get Star Coin #1. Run back carefully as icicles fall.
  6. 6
    Hit the checkpoint flag.
  7. 7
    Get on the rising platform and stay ahead of it to obtain Star Coin #2.
  8. 8
    Use ice powers on Dry Bones.
  9. 9
    Ignore the coins leading right and wall jump into the hidden wall on the left to find Star Coin #3.
  10. 10
    The rising platform will fill with Dry Bones. Use the POW Block to defeat them all, then enter the door.
  11. 11
    Defeat Boom Boom by hitting him three times. He hops, performs an air spin attack, and adds more hops before spinning.

Frosted Glacier-3: Prickly Goombas

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Some Goombas are protected by thorn suits that can be burned away. Fire Mario is not strictly necessary; VFTs and Fire Bros. can burn off the armor.
  2. 2
    Remember this when you need to access the upside-down pipe leading to Star Coin #1.
  3. 3
    Blue Yoshi can blow bubbles that turn captured enemies into coins.
  4. 4
    Hit the checkpoint flag after exiting the pipe.
  5. 5
    Run along the ice wheel and into the hidden wall where a Yoshi is in a '?' block.
  6. 6
    Yoshi can stand on the thorns of Prickly Goombas without taking damage. This is useful for reaching Star Coin #2, located in the green pipe above the next rolling ice wheel.
  7. 7
    Enter the golden pipe to exit the area.
  8. 8
    Once outside, use Yoshi's hover jump to get Star Coin #3, pass the ice wheels, Piranha Plants, and Fire Bros., and head for the exit.

Frosted Glacier-4: Scaling the Mountainside

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Navigate past Koopa Troopas, Waddlewings, and Bullet Bills.
  2. 2
    A pit may appear to be a secret spot, but it is not. Grab onto the wall in the pit and wall jump out, as appearing bricks will create a staircase effect.
  3. 3
    Jump up to get the Acorn in the '?' block if you need it, then glide jump left into a secret spot with many coins and a 1-up.
  4. 4
    Return right, use the left scale to raise the right one, then get on the right scale and glide jump to obtain Star Coin #1.
  5. 5
    Star Coin #2 is located shortly ahead to the right and is unmissable.
  6. 6
    Continue right to the checkpoint flag.
  7. 7
    A hidden 1-up is located at the top of a wall pocket if you stay low.
  8. 8
    There are two methods to reach Star Coin #3, hidden to the left of two visible coins. Either get on top of the cliff to the right and glide left, or use Bullet Bills for leverage.
  9. 9
    Get the red ring and manipulate the scales to collect all red rings.
  10. 10
    Pass the Banzai Bills and hit the exit pole.

Frosted Glacier-5: Icicle Caverns

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Beware of a giant icicle descending on your way to the pipe; go down it.
  2. 2
    You will encounter Buzzy Beetles and icicles.
  3. 3
    Past two rising and falling platforms, you will see a giant icicle. Do not jump to the next cliff; run through the wall to find Star Coin #1.
  4. 4
    Gather the coins.
