New Super Mario Bros. 2: 5-A

This level is an automatic sidescroller that takes place on a gold ship similar to the Coin Ship of Super Mario 3. There are several Gold Rings throughout the level, so this is a great level to get tons of coins. Send a Koopa shell on the ship and activate the Gold Ring. As long as the ring is activated, the shell will make coins and collect them for you. To add more coins to your total, stomp on Parakoopas to turn them into regular Koopas and let them wander into the shell's path. Do not kick more shells in the shell's path or you'll have to send another shell to get more coins. The first Star Coin is high in the air, so bounce off a Parakoopa to get it. You'll also need to bounce off of Parakoopas to activate some Gold Rings. The midpoint is nearby and there's a Gold Ring above it. You'll come across a spring as you go along. Pick it up and put it on the ship's top deck, but keep an eye on it, as parts of the level will push it off. It will also allow you to reach things in the sky. The second Star Coin is on a pillar. Either wall jump off the pillars or use the spring to reach it. Use the spring or bounce off a Parakoopa for the third Star Coin. It's in the sky with lots of coins. The ship will stop next to two brick blocks. The flag is nearby. This opens the path to 5-5. Alternatively, using the spring, hit the right brick block from below. This will make a vine appear. Spring to reach it. It leads to Coin Heaven. Follow the coin trail to the Red Goal to a 1-up Mushroom House and the castle.

Coin Total: 52,160
I completed this level after beating the final boss.
