Part 73

Run north-east and jump up the stairs to the first set of Beat Platforms. Anticipate the blue platform to appear and jump onto it just before the next beat. Repeat for the next platform, then jump to the wooden platform on the other side. This is the general approach for all Beat Platform sets.

Continue on and encounter a Wallop. Stay to one side, jump to make it jump, and quickly run around it as it recovers. Jump along the next set of Beat Platforms to the platform above.

Defeat the two Prongos by luring them into diving, moving away, and stomping their underside. Hit the left and right ? Blocks for a coin each; avoid the middle one as it contains a Poison Mushroom. Continue to the next platform.

There is a Wallop on the next platform. Move up to it, jump, and run around it while it is stunned. Do not try to reach the platform above the door; instead, enter the door.

Star Coin Alert! #1: You will see the shadow of a Star Coin near the door you just came through. Lure the Wallop underneath the Star Coin's shadow. Stay near the Wallop and jump to make it jump. When it lands and is recovering, jump on top of it. From the Wallop, jump up to grab the Star Coin. Jump back down and continue down the path.

The Wallop will follow you. Stop just before the next Beat Platform. Jump to make the Wallop jump, timing it so the blue platform appears soon after. Run and jump onto the Beat Platform. Jump along the Beat Platforms to the other side. The next set is back-to-front; jump straight to the yellow Beat Platform when it appears, then straight to the wooden platform at the top. The platform above the next door contains nothing; enter the door.

Star Coin Alert! #2: Outside, hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (checkpoint). The easiest way to approach the next set of Beat Platforms is to jump straight to the yellow platform when it appears. Jump onto the platform containing the Star Coin, grab it, and jump straight to the other side before the platform disappears. Continue on.

Move up to the gap with a Wallop on the other side. To get past it, jump to make it jump, then run to the side and jump across to the platform and past the Wallop. Repeat for the next Wallop. Move down the path to a set of Beat Platforms. Follow them normally. Be aware that the red platform is above the blue one, so do not jump too early to avoid hitting the red platform.

Continue to find rotating Spikebars around Beat Platforms. For the first set, follow the Beat Platform sequence normally, but time one jump to clear the Spikebar. When you reach the wooden platform, stop and wait, being aware of both Spikebars.

Star Coin Alert! #3: This Star Coin is located above the block from which the northern Spikebars protrude. Take a running jump from the wooden platform between both sets of Beat Platforms, grab the Star Coin, and land on the block. Turning on 3D mode can help judge the jump. A Tanooki Suit (item) can also help you hover down and adjust your target to land on the block.
