    From behind the Ferris Wheel, climb onto the side of the blue grating (scaffolding) closer to the green grating.
  2. 2
    Jump off and hover over the green grating to flip it sideways, then stand on the green grating.
  3. 3
    Quickly hover to the closer side of the next blue grate and spray the green grate through the blue one to flip it, then climb onto it.
  4. 4
    Ignore the next green grate and hover to the side of the blue cage to grab on, then climb on top of it.
  5. 5
    Wait for the Electrokoopa on the next part of the blue grate (opposite side) to get closer than the one on your side.
  6. 6
    Get on the same spot as the closer Electrokoopa and punch it with B.

  12. 12
    Climb up to the next two Electrokoopas and punch them both.
  13. 13
    Either use advanced jumping and hovering to get atop the panel you can see but not flip, or go back to the other side of the blue grate, spray the green grating to flip it again, then climb and jump over to the panel and press A to flip it.

    Once you reach either destination, get on the tightrope under the giant sleeping Electrokoopa and double jump off it to get under the platform the Koopa is sleeping on.

Episode 6: The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret

  1. Enter the park. Find the Yoshi egg near the Pianta tree, past the yellow gate to the right of the park entrance.
  2. Determine what fruit the Yoshi egg wants.
  3. Fruit Locations:
    • Pineapple: Past the Pianta tree, at the turn.
    • Banana: Past the Pianta tree, fall down past the pineapple towards the lake.
    • Pear: In the nose of the Pianta tree; spray it to make it fall.
    • Durian: Behind the fountain where you fought Mecha-Bowser.
    • Coconut: From trees on the rim of the lake, closest to the second Pirate Ship.
  4. Your Yoshi must be orange. The color depends on the last fruit eaten:
    • Durian: Purple
    • Coconut/Banana: Pink
    • Pear/Pineapple: Orange
  5. Ride your orange Yoshi to the spot of the Yoshi-Go-Round under the hanger with no Yoshi to be warped to a bonus stage.
  6. Navigate the spinning blocks:
    • Cross consecutive triple jumps over blocks spinning left and right.
    • Ground pound the nail farther from the spinning blocks three times for a 1-up.
    • Jump onto the red Yoshi block, then green, black, and blue.
    • Ride the blue block through a full circle to the next side, then to a 1-up, and back to the next side.
    • Jump across to the black block, then green, red, and to the next safe spot.
    • Jump onto the orange block and ride it to a maze of orange blocks.
    • Wait for the next moving orange block and jump for it before it's out of reach; it moves towards you.
    • Jump off at the other side, backflip onto the next orange block, then wall jump between the two walls.
    • To reach the next still set of orange blocks, either jump onto the orange block moving up and down while it's going down and jump to it at peak height, or spin jump over.
    • From the still orange blocks, double jump to the shine.

Episode 7: Shadow Mario in the Park

  1. Enter the park.
  2. Chase and spray Shadow Mario. He has more health than usual.
  3. After he falls, a shine will be left behind.

Episode 8: Roller Coaster Balloons

  1. Enter the park, turn right, go through the yellow gate, and follow the path to a bridge.
  2. Cross the bridge and talk to the Noki next to the yellow part of the platform.
  3. Say 'Yes' to get on a Roller Coaster.
  4. Use the rocket-shooting mechanics to shoot all 20 Bowser Jr. balloons within 3 laps.
  5. Aim with the point of the rocket.
  6. Once all balloons are shot, you get a shine.

Pinna Park Secret Shine: The Beach Cannon's Red Coins

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Beat the Monty Mole and go into the bonus stage.
  2. 2
    Hit the red switch.
  3. 3
    Collect the 8 red coins scattered about the maze of disappearing platforms. They are all at jump and hover height. You have a very strict time limit.
Tips
  • When navigating the blue and green grating sections, remember that spraying the green grating flips it.
  • For the Electrokoopas on the blue cage, wait for the one on the opposite side to get closer before engaging.
  • The panel flipping sequence requires precise timing.
  • When reaching the tightrope under the sleeping Electrokoopa, a double jump is key to getting under the platform.
  • For Episode 6, the Yoshi's color is determined by the last fruit it ate.
  • In the Yoshi-Go-Round bonus stage, consecutive triple jumps are effective for crossing the initial spinning blocks.
  • The maze of orange blocks requires careful timing and use of the wall jump.
  • For Episode 8, aim carefully with the rockets to hit all 20 balloons within 3 laps.
  • The Pinna Park red coins have a strict time limit, so prioritize movement and hovering.
