Follow the snaking platform as it moves right to jump on it and continue the stage. Follow it past the following fire rods, then leap off the snaking platform and onto the upper ledge with the Star Coin. Star Coin 2: After the snaking platform moves past the Red Ring, it'll form stairs that lead you upwards and to the left. Jump between the spikes to grab the treasure from the small alcove above. Star Coin 1: The snaking platform will take you by the first Star Coin just before the stage's halfway checkpoint. Use the break to quickly take care of the tough parts of the stage. There's a short break between the bursts of rock fall. If you're at a particularly tough section of the stage, stop and wait for the rocks to fall. Level Tip: Volcanic rocks will fall from the top of the screen in short bursts. It's easiest to wait near the prize and allow the falling rocks to break away the bricks, letting you safely grab the Star Coin without slowing down. Star Coin 3: You can see the next Star Coin surrounded by a group of brick blocks. As Mini Mario, wait for the falling rocks to destroy the blocks over the pipe, then drop into the pipe to enter a hidden underground area with the second Star Coin. At the bottom of the screen you can just barely see the top of a miniature warp pipe. Star Coin 2: Right past the halfway checkpoint is a stretch of runway that breaks under the pressure of the falling rocks. If you move left while the rocks are falling, it's almost impossible to avoid getting hit. Before moving back to the treasure, wait for the next break in the rain of lava rocks. Just a bit further to the right is a platform that'll let you jump up to the highest walkway with the Star Coin. Star Coin 1: Move past the first Star Coin when you see it. Grab a koopa shell from one of the nearby koopas and toss it at the hammer bro. Stand at the base of the tall wall and jump straight up to reveal a hidden coin block that provides footing for climbing the wall. Level Tip: Early in the stage there's a tall wall guarded by two koopas and a heavy hammer bro. Simply run through the Red Ring, grab the nearest coins, then hop in the green pipe to launch Mario through all but the eighth coin. Red Coins: Getting all eight red coins is easy here. You can then grab the Star Coin without more confrontation. After he's smashed through the first row of bricks, quickly run and hop on his head before he begins tossing hammers again. You can ground pound through the bricks yourself, or wait for the heavy hammer bro. Star Coin 3: The third Star Coin is beneath a row of brick blocks that's guarded by a heavy hammer bro. while simultaneously grabbing the second Star Coin. The koopa shell should slide and hit the boomerang bro. Grab an empty koopa shell from the left and toss it onto the nearest platform just as it begins to move down.

On the further right of the two platforms is a boomerang bro. Star Coin 2: Well past the halfway checkpoint, you'll find a pair of platforms that rise up and down.

near the beginning of the stage, then toss that same koopa shell off the ledge to the right to skip along the lower series of platforms to hit the Star Coin.

Star Coin 1: Use a koopa shell to defeat the hammer bro.
