Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the portrait to the left, leading to Tiny Island. Let the Goomba defeat itself by running into you.
  2. 2
    Jump into the water to your left and swim to the platform with the yellow '!' block. Hit it for a 1-Up Mushroom, avoiding the Fireball-shooter.
  3. 3
    Continue swimming up to the platform with the green Warp Pipe. Do not enter the pipe; instead, look behind it for a small opening.
  4. 4
    Drop down and hit the switch to reveal a ledge of brown blocks. Walk across it.
  5. 5
    Look at the mountainside for a slope with rolling cannonballs and two coins. Use a double jump to reach this spot.
  6. 6
    Advance up the mountain, but instead of entering the Warp Pipe, jump onto the ledge beside it.
  7. 7
    Allow the Tiny Goomba to defeat itself, then climb the next two ledges. Fight another Tiny Goomba on the second ledge.
  8. 8
    Carefully cross the thin plank hanging off the mountainside. Do not rush, as the camera angle can cause you to slip.
  9. 9
    At the end of the plank, run up the slope and stand in the middle of the pool of water at the mountain's peak to discover the first itty bitty secret (1).
  10. 10
    Look on the opposite side of the mountain from the slope you ascended to find the foot of the mountain with a Warp Pipe next to a hole in the wall from which cannonballs emerge.
  11. 11
    Slide down to land safely at the foot of the mountain. Walk in front of the hole in the wall to discover the second itty bitty secret (2).
  12. 12
    Go to the area on the mountainside where Koopa the Quick would be on Huge Island. Find and stomp the tiny version of him for a blue coin.
  13. 13
    Jump from the end of the ledge down to the sandy area. To the right, find a small wooden plank leading into the wall. Jump near the hole where the plank enters the wall to discover the third itty bitty secret (3).
  14. 14
    Go down the sandy slope and into the water. Swim towards the archway you would use in Huge Island. Step in front of this archway to discover the fourth itty bitty secret (4).
  15. 15
    Return to the water and swim to the opposite side, reaching a small green slope. Go up it and step over the small square hole in the ground to find the fifth itty bitty secret (5).
  16. 16
    To get the star, avoid the flames from the Fireball-shooter and talk to the Bob-Omb Buddy to activate the cannons if they are not already.
  17. 17
    Jump to the next platform behind the Bob-Omb Buddy, avoiding the Tiny Goomba. Ground Pound or get past it.
  18. 18
    Jump onto the ledge to the left with the yellow '!' block and hit it for coins.
  19. 19
    Use a long jump to reach the next ledge via the protruding part, as the thin plank against the wall is impossible to use.
  20. 20
    Defeat the Goombas around the Warp Pipe. Look on the other side of the Warp Pipe for a small plank leading across a gorge to the next platform with rolling cannonballs.
  21. 21
    Carefully walk across the plank, then avoid the cannonballs while ascending the slope to the next Warp Pipe.
  22. 22
    Look down over the cliff face to see the small platform with the Warp Pipe near the start of the level. Drop down to it.
  23. 23
    Look around the Pipe for the '!' switch and hit it to activate the ledge of brown blocks.
  24. 24
    Walk along the full length of this ledge to reach a small floating platform containing the star.
Tips

  • Use a long jump to cross the gap where the thin plank is unusable.
  • Be cautious of the Tiny Goombas, as they can knock you off ledges.
  • The Bob-Omb Buddy will activate the cannons needed to progress towards the star.
