Collect all 8 Red Coins in Episode 3 of Pinna Park in Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Learn how to navigate pirate ships and rotating gates.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow red arrow signs up the stairs to the swinging pirate ships. Grab the 1st red coin at the top.
  2. 2
    Hop onto the first pirate ship. Stand at the back as it swings right to grab the 2nd red coin. Use your hover nozzle to stay on.
  3. 3
    Jump onto the second ship as it comes down from the right and is slightly vertical. Grab the 3rd red coin and hop onto the metal mesh platform.
  4. 4
    The 4th coin is on top of the mesh platform next to the pirate ship.
  5. 5
    Head to the wall with the rotating gate (red outline). Press 'Y' to enter the cube by spinning the gate. Ground pound to spin the gate below you, then climb onto the underside of the mesh platform to reach the 5th red coin.
  6. 6
    Hop down to the platform below. Ground pound on the path above the two Electrokoopas to defeat them. Use the rotating gate to get to the underside of the mesh path and grab the 6th red coin. Use a rotating gate above you to enter the mesh cube.
  7. 7
    Head up the next mesh path, avoiding Electrokoopas. To remove them, press 'A'/'B' on the underside of the path to bump them off. Grab the 7th red coin on the underside of this path.
  8. 8
    Return to the start of the ramp, head up, and grab the final 8th coin. The Shine Sprite will spawn nearby.
Tips
  • The hover nozzle can help prevent you from falling off the pirate ships.
  • If you fall, you'll land in water and can return to the stairs.
  • You can climb on the sides and along the underside of mesh platforms.
  • To get rid of Electrokoopas, ground pound on the path above them or bump them off from underneath by pressing 'A'/'B'.
  • Jump into rotating gates above you to use them.
