Star 7 - 100 Coins - Lethal Lava Land

Master Lethal Lava Land in Super Mario 64 DS! This guide helps you collect 100 coins for Star 7, including tips for the volcano and overworld.

Alright, so you're going for Star 7 in Lethal Lava Land, huh? This one's a real doozy, and the main challenge is grabbing all 100 coins. The biggest tip I can give you right off the bat is to collect as many coins as possible in the overworld *before* you even think about jumping into the volcano. Seriously, explore everywhere!

When you start, check out the platform behind you. There's a Wing Cap there, which is super handy for flying around and spotting those scattered coins. Keep an eye out for the two Mr. I enemies; each one drops a blue coin, so that's ten coins right there. Don't forget about the Bullies! You can push them off the ledges for some easy coins. Also, there's a shape-shifting puzzle area – make sure you grab all the red coins there, and remember that five more coins will pop out from the center after you do.

Now, head over to the black platform that's to the right of the arch. You'll find a '!' Block. Hit it to get a Koopa Shell. Use that shell to ride over the gold bridge connected to the arch and then duck under the drawbridge. There are five coins waiting for you there. Once you've scoured the overworld and collected every coin you can find, *then* you can enter the volcano to hunt for any remaining ones if you're still short of 100.

Inside the volcano, you'll find about 20 to 30 coins, which should be enough to push you over the 100-coin mark. Just be super careful not to fall into the lava – that's the main hazard you'll be dealing with on this star!
