New Super Mario Bros. 2: 5-1

This level is filled with tightropes. Time your jumps for extra height. You'll also need to time your jumps to reach blocks and coins circling the tightropes. Jump up above the second tightrope, circled by blocks, to reach another tightrope below a brick block that can become a Gold Block. To the right are Parakoopas circling a tightrope, then another tightrope with blocks circling overhead. They surround the first Star Coin, so jump onto the brick blocks when they're low. At the top of the circle is an invisible block surrounded by coins. It has a 1-up. Just below and to the right is a Gold Ring. Activate it and kick the Koopa shell on the tightrope for lots of coins. It won't leave the boundaries of the tightrope. Next to that tightrope is the midpoint. There are three tightropes in a triangle formation surrounding the second Star Coin. The best way to get it is to just stand still on the top tightrope. Mario will fall through shortly. You can also slide in from the sides. Jump up and right to the next tightrope. Jump in the center of it for a vine to an new area. Above the brick block, which can become a Gold Block, is an invisible block with a 1-up. The third Star Coin is here, circling around with lots of Parakoopas. Jump over the circle to the next tightrope and try to get it while bouncing off. If you fall, you'll drop back to the main level. Backtrack to the left to try again, but this can be time consuming. Drop back down and you'll find a Red Coin Ring and a Gold Ring near the flag. This will open the path to 5-2. If, while you're in the area to get the third Star Coin, you jump up in the center of the tightrope, you'll hit an invisible block with a vine so you can go right. It will lead to more circling Parakoopas, but there are fewer than in the ring before. Time your jump carefully and bounce off them to reach the Red Goal to the Ghost House.

Coin Total: 50,078
I found the secret goal after beating the final boss.
