Need help grabbing the Star 7 in Dire, Dire Docks? Follow this guide to collect every coin, avoid the currents, and secure your 100th coin!

Alright, this Star in Dire, Dire Docks is a real pain, and it's going to take some careful coin collecting to snag it. Seriously, you need to grab *every single coin* you can find. There's just barely enough to hit 100, and two major threats that can kick you out of the level if you're not careful.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you start, make sure to grab the five coins heading down the slope right behind you.
  2. 2
    Next, look for two bars of five coins each, located near the strong current. That's ten coins right there.
  3. 3
    There are also three coins floating around the current itself on the floor.
  4. 4
    Head into the tunnel. You'll find three rings of eight coins each. That's a total of 24 coins in this section alone.
  5. 5
    Now, move to the open area where the submarine usually is. Swim towards the left side. You'll see a square black hole in the wall – this is a major hazard!
  6. 6
    Warning: Stay as far away from that black hole as possible. If you get too close, a strong current will suck you in, and you'll be sent back outside the castle, forcing you to start over.
  7. 7
    While you're near the current in the wall, look on the seabed. You'll find a bar of five coins. Be super careful collecting these – getting too close to the hole means getting knocked out of the level.
  8. 8
    Also on the seabed, near the platform with the caps, there's a ring of eight coins. Grab those.
  9. 9
    Don't forget the Red Coins! Make sure to collect all eight of them.
  10. 10
    Finally, swim to the platform on the far wall. You'll find a Blue Coin Switch. Hit it, and six Blue Coins will appear on the ledge.

If you've collected everything carefully, you should just barely scrape together the 100 coins needed for the Star. It's tight, so don't miss any!

Tips
  • The currents near the black hole are extremely dangerous. If you get sucked in, you'll lose all progress in the level.
  • There are just enough coins to get the Star, so meticulous collection is key. Don't skip any you see!
