Jump off onto the sinking platform before it sinks completely.

Move up to the Wallop, jump so it moves, and run around it before it can move again.

Star Coin Alert! #1: Jump onto the platform with arrows pointing north-east on every face. A Magikoopa will appear. Twist the platform by standing on the south-west side to make it move south-east. When you reach the end, move underneath the Star Coin, jump, and grab it.

Make the platform spin the other way by standing on the opposite edge.

Grab the power-up and keep rolling right.

When you reach the platform, jump onto it.

To stop the cylinder, jump to the other side so it slows down, then move to the middle when it's stationary.

Star Coin Alert! #2: When you reach the chain platform north of you, wait for the lava geyser to stop and immediately jump on. Grab the Blue Clock standing on the highest part. Keep standing there and let the platform sink down until you grab the Star Coin. Jump back onto the cylinder before the lava geyser shoots back up and keep rolling.

To roll past the lava geysers ahead, stay to the north of the south edges of the cylinder and keep rolling as normal.
