Tiny-Huge Island - Pluck the Piranha Flower

Tiny-Huge Island is the 13th course.
In the door with the Star on the second floor is a large room with three identical paintings of different sizes. We can't use the one directly across from the door. To the left is a small painting and to the right is a very large painting. Tiny-Huge Island is a large island that changes its relative size depending on which painting you enter. If you enter the smaller painting, you'll be large compared to the enemies and the island and vice versa. You can change the island's size by entering the green warp pipes on the island. Some missions can only be completed when small and others when large. Others will require you to switch the island's size.

We need to be large at the start of this mission. I died a few times, but the mission is relatively simple. We must be relatively large to climb a nearby platform to our left. We start on a grassy platform with a very small Goomba. The enemies here won't damage you. There are three grassy platforms on your side of the wall, separated by water. The one farther away is where you want to go. Climb up on the platform, dodging the small Piranha Plant's fire. On the platform is a warp pipe. Go in it to change the island's size. When the island is large, there will be five Piranha Plants that appear when approached, towering over you. Two of them are behind the pipe They can be defeated with a punch, but they also breathe fire, which may cause you to run off the platform. You can't get back on the platform from the water, so just exit the level. It's not worth going through the whole island to find another warp pipe. After you defeat them all, the Star appears near the warp pipe. Oddly enough, the large Piranhas give out two coins, while those that are normal sized give out Blue Coins.

I swam to the grassy platform with the Piranha Plant, taking a burn in the process. I went through the warp pipe and was burned by the larger Piranha Plants twice, resulting in death.
Take 2- I reached the platform without being burned. I defeated all of the Piranha Plants, after taking a few burns. The Star appeared behind the pipe.
Star Get #120, 15 Coins, 3 Lives
We're 80% done! 30 more Stars to go!
