Complete walkthrough for Super Mario Land Part 96, including Star Coin locations and the Special 7-4 course with its Cosmic Clone.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump onto a moving platform as it stops below and to your right, being careful not to jump too late and risk dying.
  2. 2
    Climb up the pole.
  3. 3
    Wait for a platform to stop below and to your right, then jump onto it just before or immediately after it lands.
  4. 4
    Ride the wheel around until it reaches the top.
  5. 5
    Run onto the thin green platform and into the glass tunnel.
  6. 6
    Follow the tunnel until it drops away, grab the Star Coin, and drop down.
  7. 7
    Grab the two coins and hit the ? Block.
  8. 8
    To take a shortcut, jump onto the ? Block, crouch, and jump right into a small gap.
  9. 9
    Roll or crawl right within the gap to grab a 1-Up.
  10. 10
    Continue until you are out of the small gap.
  11. 11
    Wait for the line of Fuzzies (enemies that move in a pattern) above to rotate around and begin moving up, leaving a gap after the last Fuzzy.
  12. 12
    Jump onto the platform above through the gap and run right to be between the two sets of Fuzzies.
  13. 13
    Let the line of Fuzzies to your left rotate. As the last one moves past, follow behind it.
  14. 14
    When there is enough space, jump to the platform above.
  15. 15
    Follow the path to the next set of Fuzzies and repeat the process of following the line after the last one moves past.
  16. 16
    Once out, move over and hit the Warp Box.
  17. 17
    Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (a marker that saves your progress) after you warp.
  18. 18
    Jump from the cog you are on to the chain platform far below to your north-west.
  19. 19
    The left two ? Blocks contain a coin each, the middle ? Block contains coins, and the rightmost block contains a Super Star. The ? Block second from the right contains a Poison Mushroom.
  20. 20
    Grab the coins, then the Super Star, and enter the warp box to return to the Checkpoint Flag.
  21. 21
    Jump to the cog to your north.
  22. 22
    Run over and defeat the Magikoopa (an enemy that casts spells) that appears on the north part of the cog while you are invincible.
  23. 23
    From there, jump to the small cog to your left, then again to the next small cog, and once more to the final small cog.
  24. 24
    Do not stay on any of the cogs for too long as Tanooki Bob-Ombs (enemies that float down and explode) will appear.
  25. 25
    Wait on the last cog for the L Platform to rotate around to you and jump on.
  26. 26
    Only move along these platforms when they are not rotating, otherwise you will likely fall off.
  27. 27
    Wait at the end of the platform you will be jumping from. If you move to the end and jump once it's in position, the L Platform you are jumping to will move away before you land.
  28. 28
    Wait on the right protrusion of the current L Platform until it moves in line with the L Platform to your right.
  29. 29
    Perform a small jump to the next L Platform, moving through the red ring as you do.
  30. 30
    Grab the first red coin as you land.
  31. 31
    Let the platform rotate twice, grabbing each coin as you go.
  32. 32
    After the second rotation, run to the middle of the platform and grab the coin there.
  33. 33
    Let the platform rotate once more and run north along it when it is stationary to get the final red coin. You will receive a Tanooki Leaf (an item that allows you to float) or a 1-Up if you are not Small or Normal Mario.
  34. 34
    Wait on the right protrusion of this platform until it moves in line with the platform to the north.
  35. 35
    Take a small jump onto the north platform.
  36. 36
    Stay on the edge of this platform and let it rotate twice to grab the third Star Coin.
  37. 37
    Wait on the edge and let yourself be rotated another three times. The platform will move in line with the one to your west.
  38. 38
    Perform a small jump over to the west platform.
  39. 39
    Stay on the edge of this platform and rotate twice so you are west of the center.
  40. 40
    Jump down to the chain platform below with a Bob-omb (an enemy that walks and explodes) on the upper part.
  41. 41
    Stomp the Bob-omb and drop to the lower part of the chain platform.
  42. 42
    Wait for the L Platform to rotate around to you and perform a small jump onto it.
  43. 43
    Let it rotate around twice so you are next to the platform wheel.
  44. 44
    Jump off onto the platform wheel, ensuring your jump is not too late.
  45. 45
    Let the wheel rotate four times, standing on the left side of the platform.
  46. 46
    After the fourth rotation, take a running jump off the right edge of the platform onto the top of the Goal Pole to get a 1-Up.

Special 7-4 Walkthrough

Special 7-4 is a challenging course due to the Cosmic Clone (a copy of Mario that mirrors your actions), Flip-Switch Panels (panels that change color and properties), and the lack of a Checkpoint Flag. The most beneficial strategy is to slow down and process the information carefully. Do not run unless necessary for a running jump or other specific action.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump once to switch the Flip-Switch Panel so the blue side is facing up.
Tips
  • Grab the Star Coin #2 by riding the wheel to the top, entering the glass tunnel, and following it until it drops away.
  • Find a 1-Up by jumping onto the ? Block, crouching, and jumping right into a small gap, then rolling or crawling right.
  • Use the Super Star from the ? Block to defeat the Magikoopa while invincible.
  • Collect all red coins on the rotating L Platforms to earn a Tanooki Leaf or 1-Up.
  • Grab Star Coin #3 by letting the platform rotate twice to reach it, then rotating three more times to align with the western platform.
  • Stomp the Bob-omb on the chain platform to access the lower part and reach the next L Platform.
  • Jump onto the platform wheel and let it rotate four times before jumping to the Goal Pole.
  • In Special 7-4, slow down your movements to better manage the Cosmic Clone and Flip-Switch Panels.
