New Super Mario Bros. 2: 3-A

This level costs 5 Star Coins to unlock. The item block has a powerup. Going into the water will make coins appear over the log. Hop out of the water with the strong current and land on the pipe, then go get them. Take the pipe underwater. There are strong currents in the water, so there's no going back. The P-Switch makes Silver Coins. Follow the arrows to avoid the Cheep-Cheep, especially those in a diagonal line. Rocks will split the path. Stay towards the top to get the first Star Coin, then immediately go down to avoid Cheep-Cheep. Take the red pipe at the end down. Go down the small vortext in the gap to the left for the second Star Coin. Use the ? Switch to stop the currents and get the Starman. Otherwise, you'll find a maze of currents. Go down, up the center to the top, right, down to the middle, and right. You'll reach the midpoint and an item block with a powerup. Go up the red pipe. The current will push you upward past some Urchins, then right. If you have a Gold Flower (and you can get on in the random item block just before the current changes directions), you can reach the blue pipe overhead for coins. Otherwise, steer carefully, especially if you want to get the Red Coins. The path ahead is littered with Urchins. The ceiling level will change, which is where you'll find the third Star Coin. It is at a point where the ceiling is lower. Urchins guard it on either side. When Urchins line both the floor and ceiling in one area, you're near the pipe to the flag pole. That was nerve-wracking.

Coin Total: 40,250
I beat this level after beating the final boss.
