AntMag.NET

This guide details how to find all 100 Purple Coins in the Beachcombing for Purple Coins mission within Beach Bowl Galaxy in Super Mario 3D All-Stars. This mission is only accessible after completing The Fate of the Universe, when a Purple Comet appears.

Walkthrough

1
Start by swimming to the long vine. Swing using the Left Analog Stick to gain speed and collect the first 24 Purple Coins encircling the vine.
2
Proceed along the wooden crate path towards the giant penguin. Collect 4 Purple Coins during this walk.
3
On the penguin's island, find 3 Purple Coins. One can be collected by jumping on the giant penguin's head.
4
Continue to the right of the penguin, crossing a series of smaller islands. Collect another 6 Purple Coins, bringing your total to 37/100.
5
From the furthest small island, jump across a wooden crate path in the water to collect 8 Purple Coins.
6
On the other side of the crates, climb the palm tree to collect 4 Purple Coins along its trunk and leaves.
7
Return towards the starting area. Head to the shore where the waterfall is located.
8
Before climbing to the waterfall pool, find 1 hidden Purple Coin between the fence and the palm tree near the cliff's edge.
9
Near the waterfall, walk up a palm tree to collect 1 Purple Coin from a smaller palm tree, and then 2 more on the leaves of the larger one.
10
Climb onto the stone ledge near the waterfall to pick up another 3 Purple Coins.
11
Cross the pool using wooden crates to collect 1 Purple Coin.
12
On the stone ledge on the other side of the waterfall pool, find 3 more Purple Coins.
13
Quickly jump into the water and grab 2 more Purple Coins before jumping back out.
14
Head down off the stone ledge. Collect 2 more Purple Coins on the level below, and then 1 right near the water's edge.
15
Jump onto the nearby swing. Use the Left Analog Stick to build momentum and grab all 6 Purple Coins in the air near the swing.
16
Use the swing to propel yourself to the narrow brown platform in the water. Collect the 1 Purple Coin there. If missed, wall jump and spin from the water to get back.
17
Head back to the shore near the starting area. Grab the Spring Mushroom near the waterfall.
18
Use the Spring Mushroom to jump behind the waterfall and collect the 1 hidden Purple Coin.
19
Use the Spring Mushroom to jump onto the palm trees on the beach. Collect 1 coin from the closest palm tree to the cliff, and 2 more from the palm tree on the beach. You should now have 76/100 coins.
20
Use your high springy jumps as Spring Mario to reach the top of the cliff near the beach and waterfall. Maintain Spring form; hitting water will cause you to lose it.
21
Near the top of the cliff, collect 2 Purple Coins near a shallow pool.
22
Head back to the main grassy area and proceed towards the beige-colored dome. Collect another 5 Purple Coins along the way.
23
Jump on the beige dome to collect 3 Purple Coins, including one high up requiring a springy jump.
24
To the left of the dome, find another path upwards. Collect 2 more Purple Coins near the fence and 2 more on a higher platform near a penguin and palm tree.
25
Jump onto the highest level to collect 5 more Purple Coins, including 3 on the palm tree. You should now have 95/100 coins.
26
The final coins are underwater. Jump from the top of the hill into the water.
27
Collect 2 Purple Coins near the center of the underwater area, and 2 more near the underwater tree.
28
The final 1 Purple Coin is in the corner near the wall that was smashed in The Secret Undersea Cavern.

Tips

Use the Left Analog Stick to control swinging momentum on vines and swings.
The Spring Mushroom allows for high, springy jumps, essential for reaching higher areas and collecting specific coins. Be careful not to lose the Spring form by hitting water.
Maintain Spring Mario form when on the upper cliff areas to avoid needing to return to the waterfall.
