New Super Mario Bros.: 4-6
It's another purple water level. To help us cross the water, Dorrie returns. She will duck under platforms, so you may have to climb on them to avoid being pushed off into the water. There's a Red Coin ring near the platform with the first Star Coin. The Red Coins go under the platform as well as over, so you'll have to double back to get them all. You'll have to go over the platform with the Piranha Plants. The second Star Coin is past the P-Switch, which you must use to reach it. It will turn coins into brick blocks, giving you platforms. The ! Switch will allow you to go up a green pipe, where you'll find the third Star Coin in a coin formation after you slide down. There is a 1-up near the pipe. You'll end up near the pipe to the flagpole. The path to the castle will open up.

New Super Mario Bros.: 4-1
World 4 is a forest world, with lots of purple water to avoid. 4-1 is no different. We have to stay out of the purple water while avoiding spiders dangling over the gap. When there are two spiders dangling over the purple water, bounce off both of them and jump high to reach the first Star Coin. Just past the midpoint is Dorrie, the dinosaur we met in Super Mario 64. She can survive in the purple water and ferry us across it. We'll have to either duck under some platforms or go over them to avoid being knocked off. You'll find the second Star Coin over the second spider over here. To get it, jump from the blocks. The Dorrie eventually stops, and we continue on foot. There are donut lifts and more spiders. The third Star Coin is near the end, so we go under the lower set of blocks to reach it. Just before the flagpole is another dangling spider.

Behind the Waterfall
This mission is unique to the Nintendo DS, but was based off a mission in the N64.
We enter Hazy Maze Cave and go to the underground lake. We get a 1-up on the way. We climb onto Dorrie's back and steer toward the double doors that we can't reach. We get the yellow cap off of Dorrie's head and go through the double doors. We go into the inky pool and see some Snifits. The Hazy Maze Cave music still plays. Around the corner to the left is a Power Flower. We get it and transform into Metal Wario! We get a message: "The Power Flower turned Wario into a metal machine! When he's metal, he can walk underwater! Try it!"
While powered up, we get the four Red Coins that are underwater near the island near the waterfall. In the alcove near the second bridge, we find two more Red Coins and a Bob-omb Buddy who'll tell use where to find the rest. We have difficulty jumping to the island with the last two Red Coins, so we get the Power Flower so we won't be swept away by the current. Just before we can get the Power Flower, we lose the yellow cap from a Snifit and get the Power Flower as Mario. This works, as there is another Star here that only Mario can get. We make it to the island and get the last two Red Coins. The Star appears underwater.
Star Get #49, 35 Coins, 5 Lives
Getting the Red Coin Star takes us out of Hazy Maze Cave, so we go back in. We jump to avoid a spider and fall into the abyss.
Take 2- We take a hit from a bat and a rock and get a 1-up. We need to be Mario to get this Star, but there are caps in the area. We steer Dorrie back to the double doors. We take a hit from a Snifit and the current takes us away and dumps us outside the castle near the waterfall.
Take 3- We take a hit from a spider and get a 1-up. We jump off the elevator and take damage. We go back into the inky pool and take three hits from Snifits, losing the green cap we accidently picked up. We reach the island near the waterfall and get the Power Flower. As we float straight up, we see coins in an arrow formation pointing up. Above it is a Star.
Star Get #50, 22 Coins, 6 Lives
We get a message: "You've recovered 50 Power Stars! That's enough to open the Star Door on the third floor. Bowser's closer... Eek! But before you move on, make sure you found the ? Switch and hit the ? Blocks. Hurry along, now. The third floor is just ahead."
Wow, I actually did one of the things the message told me to do before it mentioned that I should have. I've already taken care of the ? Switch. I would have to open up much more of the castle to get 50 Power Stars without it. It already assumes I've beaten Bowser a second time. We're not quite there yet, but we'll keep going.
The next Star is Elevate for 8 Red Coin.

Hazy Maze Cave - Swimming Beast in the Cavern
N64
In the room with the partially flooded hallway, there is a door with a star on the left. In the center of the room is a pool. In the corner on the lower level is Toad, who says "Hold onto your hat! If you lose it, you'll be injured easily. If you do lose your cap, you'll have to find it in the course where you lost it. Oh, boy, it's not looking good for Peach. She's still trapped somewhere inside the walls. Please, Mario, you have to help her! Did you know that there are enemy worlds inside the walls? Yup. It's true. Bowser's troops are there, too. Oh, here, take this. I've been keeping it for you." A Star appears. That was nice. Toad had a Star hidden for us. We must talk to him more often.
Star Get #40, 5 Lives
When we jump into the pool, we find ourselves underground, with a remix of the underground theme. The path immediately forks, so we go left and long-jump across the gap over the abyss. We go through the door on the other side and take a hit from a spider. We walk across a grate circling a hole to the abyss. We see an endless stream of rocks periodically rolling into it. We jump to the grass where the rocks are rolling and dodge them, making our way up to the door to the right of the back wall. Through the door, we see a Star on the other side of a grate. We can't reach it for now, so we'll get it later. There is a 1-up in the item block near the wall. We step the elevator down into the cave. In the cave is a pool, in which a giant dinosaur swims. It's name is Dorrie, and we can safely approach it and ride it to reach places we can't reach on our own. We climb on Dorrie's back and she circles the island in the center of the pool. Dorrie will go in whichever direction we face, so we can steer it. We make Dorrie face the island and we walk up on her head and jump to the island. The Star is in the center of the island.
Star Get #41, 24 Coins, 6 Lives
Nintendo DS
If we talk to Toad in the Hazy Maze Cave room as Yoshi, he says "You don't normally wear a cap, huh, Yoshi? You should. I think one would look really good on you. Plus, my advice is only for the fashion forward. That said, let me give you this. I had it hidden for you." He gives us a Star.
Star Get 47, 4 Lives
If we talk to him again, he says "That dinosaur-skin look is so aeons (eons) ago. You know, even a cap would really spice up your look. Come back when you get one, because I have advice for the fashionably dressed." As in the N64 version, he wants to talk to us about caps, so we need someone wearing one to get the information.
If we talk to him as Luigi, he says "A piece of advice for the hapless Luigi: Even if the caps look the same, the one you've been wearing for years is special. It is said when you lose your cap, your luck runs out, too. When you're that unlucky, you shouldn't hit a ? Block... Who knows what might happen? If you lose your cap, you'll find it in the course where you lost it. Oh! Take this with you. I had it hidden." If we talk to him again, he gives us the same speech, then says "If you lose your cap, hitting a ? Block will spell disaster! But don't worry too much. If you lose your cap, you'll find it in the course where you lost it-- just look at the map below."
As Mario, he gives a similar speech to the one he give Luigi, but says "Without it (your cap), your luck turns sour! Hitting ? Blocks without a cap can be downright dangerous! Don't try it!"
We enter the Hazy Maze Cave as Mario, but it doesn't matter who we use. We long-jump across the gap to the left and enter the area with the rolling rocks. There is a bridge to the grassy area in this version. We take a hit from a rolling rock. We wall-jump near the doorway to get a 1-up on the ledge closer to the hole. We fall off the ledge and go through the door. There is a Star on the other side of the grate and a 1-up in the item block. We go down the elevator into the cavern. There is a Bob-omb Buddy near the elevator who says "Fashion trends are so fickle! Now it's yellow caps that are in! I just saw one around here. Go find it!" There is a yellow cap circling the center island on the Touch Screen map. We approach the pool to find Dorrie, with an updated sprite with goggles. On Dorrie's head is the yellow cap. We ground-pound Dorrie's back so it's head lowers and we get the cap. It shrinks to fit our head and we turn into Wario! We have more power, so we can break heavier objects. We speak to the Bob-omb Buddy again, who says "Your yellow cap is super cool! You must be a trend starter because I see them a lot around here lately. In fact, I thought I just saw one. Where was it?" We go onto the island (which we can reach without Dorrie) and see a rock where the map says the Star is. We punch the rock and the Star appears.
Star Get #48, 20 Coins, 6 Lives
