Lethal Lava Land - Elevator Tour in the Volcano

This mission title is unique to the N64. In the Nintendo DS version, it is called Inside the Volcano.
It took me four tries to get this Star only because I tried to get 100 Coins and failed. We went into the volcano and took the path behind where we landed. I fell into the lava and made it to a checked platform. It spirals around the center of the volcano. After a while, we come a cross another checked platform and must transfer if we don't want to fall to the lava below. As soon as that platform comes within reach of a pole, immediately jump to the pole. The track will end soon for the platform and it, too, will fall. We jump to the next pole and avoid the fire. There are stepping stones floating in the air to the Star.

I came back to this level to get the 100 Coin Star because this level has a shell in a yellow item block that we can use to surf over the lava. This way be can get several 1-ups and coins on otherwise inaccessible rock platforms. We can surf on top of them easily, but must beware that the camera may not change in the way we want it to. We also got the 8 Red Coins, and a Blue Coin from a Mr. I. This gave us 84 coins, so we went into the volcano for the rest. There are also lots of coins on the platforms with the Bullies.
