Shifting Sand Land - Inside the Ancient Pyramid

N64
This mission took 7 tries as I tried to get 100 Coins in this mission. Punching Pokeys will give you a Blue Coin, Fly Guys give two coins, and the Red Coins are outside the pyramid. By the time I entered the pyramid, I had 39 coins. There is a Blue Coin Switch at the entrance, so we can add to our total. The Blue Coins appear directly in front of the entrance over a stone just past the fence.
The Hazy Maze Cave music plays. The path forks inside the pyramid and the center is filled with slow quicksand. Standing on the stepping stones will keep you from sinking. To the left is a rolling mummy block called Spindel. Past it is a 1-up in a box. You can either hide in the alcove in the wall or jump over him to get past him. The path to the left dead-ends here. The path to the right is the one you want to take. There is a cube-shaped mummy block called Grindel, who will squash you, but can act as an elevator. We backflipped onto a Grindel and got off immediately, as it will squish you when it hits the ceiling. Nearby are a couple of grates with coins underneath, so we can add them to the total. We make our way up the pyramid, in a circular fashion. Higher up, there is a network of falling sand. We go across another grate and dodge another Spindel. Near the very top of the pyramid is the Star. We had 95 coins at the time, so we got the 5 Secret Coins, making that Star appear. We ignored it for now, and got the 100 Coin Star. There aren't very many coins in Shifting Sand Land, so get as many as you can.
Star Get #62, 100 Coins, 5 Lives
To get to the mission Star, at the top we stand on a Grindel while it hops across a bridge to the other side of the pyramid. We quickly run up the slope and get the Star.
Star Get #63, 101 Coins, 7 Lives

We also attempted to get 100 Coins in this mission. We got Red Coins and five coins from the hopping crazy box. We got Blue Coins from Pokeys with updated sprites. We also got coins from the tops of pillars and from Goombas and Fly Guys. Klepto stole our hat twice. We got 4 Red Coins, bringing our total outside the pyramid to 55 coins, making our job easier. Four Blue Coins from the Blue Coin Switch bring our total to 75.
The Hazy Maze Cave music plays. On the path to the left, there is no 1-up, but a Power Flower, if we want to use it. The sign nearby says "Upon four towers one must alight... Then at the peak shall shine the light..." This is a hint for another mission. We walk all the way to the back on the path to the right and go up the slope at the back. We got 8 coins under the grate near the Amp. We crossed the gap with the Grindel. We climb the pole to the third level. We crossed a grate with coins and got the 100th Coin on the nearby stairs.
Star Get #69, 100 Coins, 4 Lives
We got rolled over by Spindel after failing to jump over it. There are vertically moving platforms which take us to another level. There are two Amps and the floor narrows, so we have to sidle carefully. Climbing up the pole takes us almost to the top of the pyramid. We ride the hopping Grindel to the other side of the pyramid, run up the slope and backflip to the platform with the Star near the ceiling.
Star Get #70, 116 Coins, 6 Lives
The next Star is Stand Tall on Four Pillars.
