Grab the Hidden Star in Super Mario 3D All-Stars

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's snag that tricky Hidden Star in Gold Leaf Galaxy! This one's called "The Bell on the Big Tree," and you'll find it in the Cataquack to the Skies level. Gold Leaf Galaxy itself is tucked away in the Engine dome, so make sure you're in the right spot!

Walkthrough

1
First things first, head up the path from where you start. Look for a cataquack – that's your ride! Use it to launch yourself over to the area with the really big redwood tree.
2
Once you're there, go to the back of the giant tree. You'll spot a bubble blower. Hop into one of its bubbles.
3
Now, this is where it gets cool. You'll have a star cursor on screen. Use this cursor to guide your bubble! Your goal is to ring a bell that's floating just above the bubble blower.
4
After you ring that bell, a trail of musical notes will pop into existence, leading you up and around the tree. Don't panic about the timer; you've got plenty of time to grab them all, even if your bubble drifts a little.
5
Collect every single musical note in the sequence. Once you've got them all, BAM! You'll be rewarded with a shiny Power Star!

Tips

Don't stress too much about keeping the bubble perfectly on the path for the musical notes. The game gives you a good amount of leeway.
The star cursor is your best friend here – practice guiding the bubble smoothly to make collecting the notes easier.

A Power Star!
