Follow this Super Mario 3D All-Stars walkthrough for Episode 5: The Runaway Ferris Wheel in Pinna Park. Learn how to climb the tower, defeat Electrokoopas, and launch the Koopa to get the Shine Sprite.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Make your way to the back of the tall tower with the Ferris Wheel. You can take the sand path up and jump off, or go through the park, across the shallow pool, and around to the left.
  2. 2
    At the back of the tower, climb the blue mesh wall on the right. Spray water at the green mesh platforms to make them rotate so you can climb up and across to the next blue mesh wall.
  3. 3
    Repeat the process with the next set of green mesh platforms and blue mesh walls.
  4. 4
    Climb to the front side of the mesh wall and use the flip panel with Y. Then use the flip panel above to reach the inside mesh wall.
  5. 5
    Climb to the right and press A to hit the Electrokoopa on the other side of the wall away.
  6. 6
    Head back to the outside of the wall using the two flip panels to your left. Perform the same attack to get rid of the other Electrokoopa.
  7. 7
    Once both Electrokoopas are defeated, safely make your way across the outside mesh wall.
  8. 8
    At the end of the mesh wall, spray the green mesh to move it so you can climb up it.
  9. 9
    Do not climb all the way up. Let the mesh move back to its original location, then climb onto the inside of the mesh wall and get rid of the Electrokoopas.
  10. 10
    Traverse the outside of the mesh wall to the top. Use a flip panel to reach the rope.
  11. 11
    Use the rope to jump up and flip the flip panel above. This will launch the Koopa off the Ferris Wheel, spawning the Shine Sprite.
Tips
  • When climbing the blue mesh walls, spray water at the green mesh platforms to make them rotate.
  • Use the flip panels by pressing Y.
  • Press A to punch Electrokoopas off the mesh.
  • After defeating the Electrokoopas, you can safely traverse the outside mesh wall.
  • Use the rope to reach higher platforms and flip panels.
