Part 9

Use the binoculars to spot Toad on a mountain peak to your right. Zoom in to have him throw down a Star Coin. Note its location and continue.

Defeat the two Piranha Plants and the Koopa Troopa.

Defeat the two Biddybuds.

Star Coin #1: The Note Block to the left of the Biddybuds is directly underneath the Star Coin. Jump onto the Note Block and press A as you land to jump high enough to grab the Star Coin.

Continue north to a Purple ? Block. Touch it to teleport to a secret area. Keep hitting the ? Block on the far right for an unlimited supply of coins until time runs out.

Move right and defeat the three Biddybuds.

Deal with the stack of five Para-Biddybuds and two more on either side. For an extra 1-Up, try defeating all Para-Biddybuds without touching the ground by bouncing from one to the next.

You'll find the first Switchboard. Hop onto the further side and let it move you to the other side, collecting coins.

Grab the Checkpoint Flag.

Up ahead are two Venus Fire Traps. Stomp them.

Ground Pound the tree stumps. Ground pounding the close-right stump twice yields a Tanooki Leaf. Ground pounding the further stump produces three coins.

Star Coin #2: Continue right onto the wood platforms. Defeat the Piranha Plant. Jump from the platform left of the Rainbow Note Block onto it. Press A as you land to launch into a bonus area. Hit the ? Block, grab the Super Star, and defeat the enemies on the cloud. Defeat the 2 Biddybuds, 3 Para-Biddybuds, grab the Green Clock, and collect all coins. Time your jump to defeat all three Para-Biddybuds at once. At the end of the run, jump off the clouds to grab the Star Coin. You will fall to the ground unharmed.

Star Coin #3: Do not jump down from the platform after Star Coin #2. Ride the clouds left. Hop on the bottom cloud and jump through the red ring to spawn five red coins. Collect them within the time limit. A 1-Up will spawn and move right. Jump onto the top right platform as soon as you get the last coin to catch the 1-Up.

Continue left until you are back in the area with the stumps. Move north. Jump onto the cloud platform, then right, then down to the next one. It is recommended to have Tanooki Mario for this. Just before the current cloud platform moves right, jump down towards the Star Coin. The other cloud platform will move back underneath. Use Tanooki Mario's hover ability if needed. If you miss this Star Coin, you must intentionally die to restart at the Checkpoint Flag and try again.

Jump down to the stone platform under the cloud platform. It contains a red Biddybud.

Ride the Switchboard across. Jump as you pass the ? Blocks to grab a coin from each.

When the Switchboard reaches the end, jump onto the small wooden platforms. Having a Tanooki Suit is recommended for easier jumps. If you have it, jump down and hover just before landing to ensure you are heading in the right direction.

To get the 1-Up from the pole, run and jump from the lower wooden platform towards the Goal Pole.

Course Clear!
