New Super Mario Bros. 2: Star-4

This is a tricky water level. There's a Porcu-Puffer swimming around, and once you go through the blue pipe, the level automatically sidescrolls up and right, with the water level rising with it. The first item block here has a Mini Mushroom. You'll want to hang on to it for a while. Platform on the logs and platforms to stay out of the Porcu-Puffer's way. The first Moon Coin is over a log over a horizontally-moving platform. You can't reach it from the platform, so let the level scroll to the right and use a vertically-moving platform to reach it. I would avoid triggering the midpoint unless you have a Mini Mushroom in reserve or are okay with starting the level over at some point. There is a Red Coin Ring over one of the platforms. Next is a random item block. The level will stop scrolling soon after. Go through the large pipe if you are not Mini Mario. If you are, go through the mini pipe under the large one. The second Moon Coin is in the middle of the level. Run and jump to get it or swim to get it, depending on the water level. The level will start scrolling again. You'll see several platforms jumping out of the water. Carefully stand on one of the middle ones for the third Moon Coin. It's not long before you reach the flagpole.

Coin Total: 66,886
