Complete walkthrough for Part 51 of Super Mario 3D Land, including World 8-3, Star Coins, and 1-Ups.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Move north and stomp the Rocky Wrench. Run onto the path of rotating objects, dodging wrenches. Stay in the center of the path.
  2. 2
    Jump to the next rotating object and ignore the fake Warp Pipe.
  3. 3
    Continue jumping over wrenches and ignore the second fake Warp Pipe. Stomp the fake Goomba for a coin if desired. Jump to the platform at the end.
  4. 4
    Star Coin Alert! #1: If you are Tanooki Mario, move onto the boat with the crank. Tail spin the crank until the boat stops moving up. Jump off the back right corner onto the opposite platform, grab the coins and Star Coin, then jump off the closest right corner of the second platform onto the large platform below. You can hit the Large ? Block multiple times for coins. Alternatively, if not Tanooki Mario, jump to the rotating block with three brick blocks above it. Hit the left brick block for a coin. Move right to correct position as the block rotates. When the block you are on and the one to your right stop with the yellow part facing up, jump right. Move to the far side and repeatedly hit the Large ? Block for coins. Jump onto the Large ? Block, take a running jump off the left edge, and wall jump off the wall to land on the platform to the north. Grab the coins and move to the platform to your left to collect the Star Coin. Then move back to the right platform and jump down.
  5. 5
    Stomp the Rocky Wrench on the current platform and jump onto the massive rotating block to the north. Stay in the middle, changing faces when the edge between them points up. Stomp the fake 1-Up to reveal a real one. Continue to the end and jump off.
  6. 6
    Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (a type of marker that saves your progress) and move through the red ring. Jump from rotating block to rotating block, collecting all red coins and dodging wrenches. Grab the 1-Up (or Tanooki Leaf) and jump to the platform to the north.
  7. 7
    Star Coin Alert! #2: From the north platform, jump back onto the previous rotating block. Jump to the block to the west, then the south-west. Collect the Star Coin on this block, waiting for it to rotate if necessary and dodging wrenches. Return to the north platform.
  8. 8
    Push the green shells north to hit Rocky Wrenches. Hit the middle shell first, then the sides. If you miss any, stomp the Rocky Wrenches. Jump onto the rotating cylinders to the north.
  9. 9
    Jump across the cylinders, correcting your position to stay in the center.
Tips
  • In Part 51, after the first Star Coin, you can jump to the large platform below and hit the Large ? Block multiple times for coins.
  • If you stomp the fake 1-Up on the massive rotating block, a real 1-Up will appear.
  • When collecting red coins, you can get a 1-Up or a Tanooki Leaf.
