Find all Star Coins and red coins in Super Mario Land Part 65. Learn how to navigate Switchboards and avoid Fuzzies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by dealing with the moving Switchboard and Blokkablok. The ? Block on the first Blokkablok contains a coin. You get two coins after breaking the other two brick blocks. The middle ? Block contains a Statue Leaf. The two blocks to either side contain a coin each. The two brick blocks contain nothing. Destroying all blocks yields two coins. Use the Blokkablok shadows on the Switchboard to aim your jumps.
  2. 2
    Continue to a Pole 'n' Chain. Wait for it to move away, then move the Switchboard forward underneath the first Star Coin. Take a running jump to build height and grab it. Wait for the Pole 'n' Chain to swing back, then jump over it and continue to the end of the rail. Be quick, as it appears on-screen just before hitting you when swinging back.
  3. 3
    At the end of the rail, jump onto the platform and hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (a flag that marks your progress). Jump onto the next Switchboard, collect coins, then jump down onto the next Switchboard at the end of the rail.
  4. 4
    Do not go left on this Switchboard. The ? Block at the end contains a Poison Mushroom. The Switchboard can fall off the rail. Stand on the southern edge of the board to avoid Fuzzies and move the board a short distance right, so you are directly south of the next Switchboard.
  5. 5
    Wait for the Fuzzies to move north, then take a running jump through the red ring and over them to the far side of the next Switchboard. Land on the right side to avoid rolling off the rail. Move right quickly, jumping over Fuzzies and grabbing three red coins.
  6. 6
    As soon as you grab the three red coins, jump to the Switchboard north and grab the last two red coins. Grabbing all five red coins in time yields a 1-Up (or a Statue Leaf if you are normal or small Mario). Move right, past the water geyser, to the end of the rail.
  7. 7
    To get the second Star Coin, wait for the geyser to shoot water up. Move the Switchboard left towards it. When you hit the geyser, the board will be shot into the air. Jump off the left edge towards the Star Coin, aiming to land safely on the Switchboard again. Wait for the geyser to reappear, then move right. The board will be pushed into the air again. Take a running jump off the right edge while in the air and land on the Switchboard to your right.
  8. 8
    To proceed, time your movement so you hit the geyser with the Switchboard when it will remain airborne for a few seconds, allowing you time to take a running jump off the right edge onto the next board.
  9. 9
    Move right. Stand in the center at the right edge of the Switchboard to collect coins as you roll down the slope. At the end, geysers will launch you over a gap onto a rail below.
  10. 10
    For the third Star Coin, go the opposite way from the Fuzzies. Keep moving until you reach the end of the rail. Be careful not to let the Switchboard roll off. At the end, jump up and grab the Star Coin, then immediately move back towards the Fuzzies, ensuring the Switchboard doesn't continue to the end of the rail.
  11. 11
    To get past the Fuzzies, wait for them to move away, then follow behind the last Fuzzy, staying to the south-west edge of the Switchboard and rail.
  12. 12
    Move toward the end of the rail. Wait until just before the cog on the Switchboard rolls off into the lava below. Jump onto the platform ahead and enter the Warp Pipe.
  13. 13
    You will appear on a new platform with an Exclamation Block. Hit it three times to make three Platform Blocks appear for a short time. Jump up them and onto the Switchboard at the top.
  14. 14
    Ride the Switchboard right, standing toward the middle to get a running start. Jump off the right edge just as the Switchboard is about to fall to the rail below, grabbing the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.

  • The Switchboard can fall off the rail; always be mindful of its position.
  • Landing on the correct side of the Switchboard is crucial to avoid falling off.
  • Wait for Fuzzies to move to a safe position before attempting to jump over them.
  • Time your jumps off the Switchboard carefully to land on subsequent boards or platforms.
