Star Coin Alert! #1:

  • Run forward and grab the Star Coin at the bottom of the steps.

Star Coin Alert! #2:

  • Run right along the northern half of the platform.
  • Jump onto the two brick blocks with a ? Block between them.
  • Jump again to grab the Star Coin.
  • Drop down off the blocks.

Star Coin Alert! #3:

  • Method 1 (No Boomerang Mario): Take a running jump off your current platform towards the Star Coin, drop onto it, then drop onto the platform below. Adjust trajectory to land on the platform. Run and jump onto the goal pole.
  • Method 2 (Boomerang Mario): Drop to the next platform, then jump up and time a boomerang throw towards the Star Coin when at the same height. Take a running jump north off the platform and grab the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
Tips
  • You start with 30 Time.
  • Every Goomba you stomp increases your Time by 10.
  • Don't waste time going back for missed coins on the second Switchboard.
  • The course is short; if you miss the top of the Goal Pole, you can redo it quickly.
