N64
We finally climb into the volcano! After jumping across the lava from the start, near the first Bully we encounter, we walk to the right across tilting platforms and over to the stone circling the volcano. The platform will stop spinning periodically and the volcano will erupt. We can climb onto the volcano and dive in safely when the platform is circling.
Inside the volcano, the same music plays. We find ourselves in a large, circular, lava-filled cavern with lava falling like a waterfall. We have to jump rock to rock to reach the wall. The rest of the way spirals around the edge of the volcano. We must be careful not to fall, because there is no guarantee that we will land somewhere where we can recover. About part of the way up, there is a part of the wall that will fall down on us if we are not quick and careful. It has a slight line to it. Towards the top, we have to jump up stairs of rock. They are floating individually, so we have to be precise in our jumps. There will be flames spewing from the walls. Towards the end, we have to negotiate some poles. I missed the third pole and fortunately fell to the start. Once we get past the poles, we will find the Star on what looks like an altar.

We approached the volcano, but fell into the lava trying to reach the spinning platform. We also were hit by a flame from the eruption, but made it into the volcano. We don't have to do as much rock-hopping as in the N64 version. We make it past the falling wall. We narrowly negotiated the rock stairs. We reach the poles and get a 1-up from the first one. There are only two poles this time, which is one of the ways that the Nintendo DS version is easier than the N64 version. We get the Star after the second pole, still on what looks to be an altar.
