Complete walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land Special 4-3, including Star Coin locations and how to get the Boomerang Flower.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Run right and drop to the wooden bridge. Wait for the Flophopper to flip, revealing its vulnerable yellow side, then stomp it.
  2. 2
    The first pair of brick blocks contain nothing. The right block of the second pair contains a Statue Leaf.
  3. 3
    Defeat the second Flophopper using the same technique.
  4. 4
    Let the two Bullet Bills fly overhead and jump to the grassy platform.
  5. 5
    From there, jump to the next bridge, ensuring the Flophopper is moving away from you.
  6. 6
    As soon as you land, Bullet Bills and Tanooki Bills will fly periodically in pairs. Wait for a gap and stomp the first Flophopper if possible, or jump over it.
  7. 7
    Repeat the process for the second Flophopper.
  8. 8
    Move right and jump up to the next platform. Wait for a gap in the Bullet Bills, jump up, and run onto the grassy platform.
  9. 9
    Defeat the Flophopper on this grassy platform.
  10. 10
    Move right to the waterfall. Walk through the center of the waterfall to find the first Star Coin. Run back out.
  11. 11
    Run to the right edge of the grassy platform and take a running jump off the south edge, through the ring, and onto the wooden platform, timing your jump to avoid Bullet Bills.
  12. 12
    Collecting the red coins that appear after jumping through the ring earns you a Boomerang Flower. Collect them by moving left and then run back onto the grassy platform to collect the final red coin.
  13. 13
    Run right to the end of the platform and jump onto the bridge. Wait for a gap in the Bullet Bills and jump up to the next platform.
  14. 14
    Run right, jumping over Bullet Bills, and then jump north onto the next bridge.
  15. 15
    A giant Bullet Bill will fly towards you. Run along the platform and drop south onto the next one, avoiding Bullet Bills flying from right to left.
  16. 16
    Continue right, dodging Bullet Bills. The left and right brick blocks contain a coin each. The middle block contains nothing.
  17. 17
    Jump onto the grassy platform at the end. Do not jump up to avoid giant Bullet Bills.
  18. 18
    Drop down the gap between the two platforms to find the second Star Coin. Grab it and wall jump between the walls to return to the platforms.
  19. 19
    Move right, hopping to the next platform when there isn't a giant Bullet Bill above you.
  20. 20
    Drop south onto the bridge. Run right and jump onto the next set of grassy platforms.
  21. 21
    Keep moving right, avoiding Venus Fire Trap fireballs and the Boomerang Bro.'s boomerang. Watch out for Bullet Bills flying from your left and do not jump when they appear.
  22. 22
    Follow the grassy platform around to the Venus Fire Traps. Jump over their fireballs and stomp them.
  23. 23
    Moving left, dodge the Boomerang Bro.'s boomerangs and stomp it.
  24. 24
    Jump north onto the small grassy platform, then onto the large one. Follow it north to the bridge.
  25. 25
    The third Star Coin is under the grassy bridge and requires Boomerang Mario. Stand south-east of the Star Coin, throw a boomerang north-west directly at it.
  26. 26
    Hop up the steps and move over the bridge.
  27. 27
    Take a running jump off the left edge of the last platform onto the top of the Goal Pole.
