New Super Mario Bros. U: Acorn Plains-2 -- Tilted Tunnel

It's time to go underground. There's a Fire Flower in the item block above the Piranha Plants. They can't hurt you. Take the pipe underground, where there's lots of moving crystals. The crystal platforms may move when you step on them. Take the floating platform moving left and right to a crystal slide with coins. Jump at the end of the slide for the first Star Coin. Soon after is the midpoint. There are two brick blocks next to a Piranha Plant in a pipe. Use a Koopa shell to hit the upper brick block to make a vine appear. It will take you to a pipe cannon, which will fire you to the second Star Coin. Nearby is an area with lots of pipes. Take the lower, left green pipe down to an area with Buzzy Beetles and a POW Block. The POW Block will make coins rain down from above. Once you return to the main level, go to the right and you'll see a Red Coin Ring over the pink crystal. Afterwards, there will be crystal with a sign pointing down. Pound that crystal to move it out of the way so you can access the pipe below. The third Star Coin is at the bottom of a crystal slide. Once you get it, the crystal will move. Return through the same pipe. The pipe to the flagpole is not too far away. This opens the path to the Mushroom House and the Fort.

After completing the level, we see that the flags on Peach's Castle now bear Bowser's emblem.

If we return to the level and go over the rocks onto the ceiling in the area of the Red Coin Ring, there's an area with coins above. Before you go too far, jump again to access a higher level. Run over the pipe to the flag and drop down on the right side to find a different pipe. This will lead to the Red Goal. This opens the path to Acorn Plains-Blooper.
