Walkthrough

1
Jump onto the moving platform and then climb up the pole. Wait for a platform to stop below and to your right, then jump onto it.
2
Star Coin #2: Ride the wheel until it reaches the top. Run onto the thin green platform and into the glass tunnel. Follow it until it drops away, grab the Star Coin, and drop down.
3
Grab the two coins and hit the ? Block. Jump onto the ? Block, crouch, and jump right into a small gap. Roll or crawl right to grab a 1-Up. Continue out of the gap.
4
Wait for the line of Fuzzies above to rotate and move back up, leaving a gap. Jump onto the platform above, run right to be between the two sets of Fuzzies.
5
Let the line of Fuzzies to your left rotate. Trail behind the last one as it moves past. Jump to the platform above when there's enough space.
6
Follow the path to the next set of Fuzzies. Repeat the process: follow the line of Fuzzies after the final one moves past. Once out, hit the Warp Box.
7
Hit the Checkpoint Flag. Jump from the cog to the chain platform below to your north-west. The left two ? Blocks have coins, the middle has coins, and the rightmost has a Super Star. The second from the right has a Poison Mushroom. Grab coins, then the Super Star, and enter the warp box.
8
You'll warp back to the Checkpoint Flag. Jump to the cog to your north.
9
Run over and defeat the Magikoopa on the north part of the cog while invincible. Jump to the small cog to your left, then again, and once more to the final small cog. Avoid Tanooki Bob-Ombs.
10
Wait on the last cog for the L Platform to rotate to you and jump on.
11
Move along these platforms only when they aren't rotating. Wait at the end of the platform you'll jump from.
12
Wait on the right protrusion of the L Platform until it aligns with the L Platform to your right. Jump to it, passing through the red ring.
13
Red Coins: Grab the first red coin upon landing. Let the platform rotate twice, grabbing each coin as you go. After the second rotation, run to the middle of the platform and grab the coin there. Let the platform rotate once more. Run north along it when stationary to get the final red coin. You'll receive a Tanooki Leaf or 1-Up.
14
Wait on the right protrusion of this platform until it aligns with the platform to the north. Jump onto it.
15
Star Coin #3: Stay on the edge of the platform and let it rotate twice to grab the Star Coin. Wait on the edge and let it rotate three more times. The platform will align with the one to your west. Jump over to it.
16
Stay on the edge of this platform and rotate twice so you are west of the center. Jump down to the chain platform below with a Bob-Omb. Stomp the Bob-Omb and drop to the lower part of the chain platform.
17
Wait for the L Platform to rotate to you and jump onto it. Let it rotate twice so you are next to the platform wheel. Jump onto the platform wheel.
18
Let the wheel rotate four times, standing on the left side. After the fourth rotation, take a running jump off the right edge onto the top of the Goal Pole.

Tips

When dealing with Fuzzies, wait for the last one to pass before following, creating a safe gap.
Be patient with the rotating L Platforms and wheels; precise timing is crucial to avoid falling.
The shortcut involves jumping onto the ? Block, crouching, and jumping right into a small gap to get a 1-Up.
If you are Small or Normal Mario when collecting the final red coin, you will receive a Tanooki Leaf or 1-Up.
The Magikoopa on the cog can be defeated with a Super Star for an easy kill.

Special 7-4 Notes:

This course is challenging due to the Cosmic Clone, Flip-Switch Panels, and lack of a Checkpoint Flag. Slow down your reactions and movements to process information better. Only run when necessary for specific jumps.
