This mission is unique to the Nintendo DS.
The Silver Stars here are spread all over the map, on islands best accessed using the Shiny Shell. Next to the large black brick box is an item block with a Shiny Shell. I went around Lethal Lava Land in a clockwise fashion. Three Silver Stars are on semi-circular rocks, one is on a large rock with coins and a 1-up near the little Bullies, and the last one is on the rock with a Mr. I. I took a couple of hits from Mr. I. The Star appeared in a Star Sphere on the circular rock behind where we started. I lost the Shiny Shell, so I long-jumped to the square, bobbing platforms and made my way back to where we started, falling in the lava twice. The box with the Shiny Shell will regenerate if you need it again. I long-jumped from where we started and got the Star near the item block with the Wing Cap feather.
Star Get #65, 25 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is Eye to Eye in the Secret Room.

Lethal Lava Land - Inside the Volcano
This mission title is unique to the Nintendo DS. The N64 version's title is Elevator Tour in the Volcano.
We initially fell in the lava after attempting to use the shell to get some coins.
Take 2- We got some coins, but crashed into a Mr. I. We died when Bullies pushed us into the lava, but we got a couple of 1-ups while surfing.
Take 3- I decided to get the coins accessible without the shell first. We fell in the lava and took a hit from a Mr. I. The Bullies knocked me into the lava, but we made it out alive. We got all 8 Red Coins and another Blue Coin from a Mr. I. We have 95 coins when we enter the volcano. We go forward first to get the last few coins we need.
Star Get #63, 100 Coins, 5 Lives
With our health refilled, we go past where we landed. We fell into the lava and died.
Take 4- When we jump into the painting, we land back in the volcano. We go in the other direction and we find a checked platform with an updated sprite. We transfer when we reach the next one and grab the pole as soon as possible. After jumpin from the first pole, we land on a floating stone with another pole and a 1-up. At the top of the second, very long pole are stepping stones to the Star.
The next Star is Flaming Silver Stars.
Star Get #64, 3 Coins, 5 Lives

Lethal Lava Land - Elevator Tour in the Volcano
This mission title is unique to the N64. In the Nintendo DS version, it is called Inside the Volcano.
It took me four tries to get this Star only because I tried to get 100 Coins and failed. We went into the volcano and took the path behind where we landed. I fell into the lava and made it to a checked platform. It spirals around the center of the volcano. After a while, we come a cross another checked platform and must transfer if we don't want to fall to the lava below. As soon as that platform comes within reach of a pole, immediately jump to the pole. The track will end soon for the platform and it, too, will fall. We jump to the next pole and avoid the fire. There are stepping stones floating in the air to the Star.
Star Get #56, 7 Coins, 7 Lives
I came back to this level to get the 100 Coin Star because this level has a shell in a yellow item block that we can use to surf over the lava. This way be can get several 1-ups and coins on otherwise inaccessible rock platforms. We can surf on top of them easily, but must beware that the camera may not change in the way we want it to. We also got the 8 Red Coins, and a Blue Coin from a Mr. I. This gave us 84 coins, so we went into the volcano for the rest. There are also lots of coins on the platforms with the Bullies.
Star Get #57, 100 Coins, 5 Lives

Lethal Lava Land - Hot-Foot-It Into the Volcano
N64
We finally climb into the volcano! After jumping across the lava from the start, near the first Bully we encounter, we walk to the right across tilting platforms and over to the stone circling the volcano. The platform will stop spinning periodically and the volcano will erupt. We can climb onto the volcano and dive in safely when the platform is circling.
Inside the volcano, the same music plays. We find ourselves in a large, circular, lava-filled cavern with lava falling like a waterfall. We have to jump rock to rock to reach the wall. The rest of the way spirals around the edge of the volcano. We must be careful not to fall, because there is no guarantee that we will land somewhere where we can recover. About part of the way up, there is a part of the wall that will fall down on us if we are not quick and careful. It has a slight line to it. Towards the top, we have to jump up stairs of rock. They are floating individually, so we have to be precise in our jumps. There will be flames spewing from the walls. Towards the end, we have to negotiate some poles. I missed the third pole and fortunately fell to the start. Once we get past the poles, we will find the Star on what looks like an altar.
Star Get #55, 21 Coins, 4 Lives
Nintendo DS
We approached the volcano, but fell into the lava trying to reach the spinning platform. We also were hit by a flame from the eruption, but made it into the volcano. We don't have to do as much rock-hopping as in the N64 version. We make it past the falling wall. We narrowly negotiated the rock stairs. We reach the poles and get a 1-up from the first one. There are only two poles this time, which is one of the ways that the Nintendo DS version is easier than the N64 version. We get the Star after the second pole, still on what looks to be an altar.
Star Get #62, 22 Coins, 5 Lives

Lethal Lava Land - Red Hot Log Rolling
N64
There is an easy way to do this and a hard way. After falling in the lava looking for the way to the log in the first three takes, I found a simpler way to reach the Star. I long-jumped back from where we land and found a Wing Cap block. We use the Wing Cap to fly forward, past the start, to a large grate wall. We fly around it and see the log. We ran out of power and fell into the lava.
Take 5- We used the Wing Cap to fly to the log. Instead of log-rolling, we landed on the platform before the log, triple-jumped, and flew to the Star. You can log roll and risk falling in the lava if you want, but this is easier.
Star Get #54, 0 Coins, 4 Lives
Nintendo DS
As the method in the N64 version works on the DS, you may want to do this mission as Mario. We can get the ability to fly on the rock behind the start. We flew around the grate and landed on the stone ramp to the log, took off again and aimed directly for the Star, straight ahead. Easy.

Lethal Lava Land - Boil the Big Bully
Lethal Lava Land is the seventh course.
N64
As the course name suggests, there is lots of lethal lava. The lava will take three bars of health, so you can fall in the lava only twice without dying at full health. We get a message when we land: "Don't be a pushover! If anyone tries to shove you around, push back! It's one-on-one with a fiery finish for the loser!
The Shifting Sand Land music plays. I was knocked into the lava by a little bully, a black sphere with eyes and two horns about the size of a Bob-omb. I fell into the lava and died.
Take 2- We make it a lot farther this time. We jump across the lava to next platform and walk over the draw bridge. I fell in the lava and glitched through the grate. We go to a tilting platform and over a shifting panel Bowser puzzle with the 8 Red Coins. We'll get those later. After that is a spinning stone platform with two fire bars. We walk across some bobbing planks and another tilting platform to reach the platform with the Big Bully. He'll try to run into us and knock us into the lava. We can punch and kick him into the lava. Jump kicks work well, even if they don't really connect. Once you knock the Big Bully into the lava, the Star appears on the nearby platform and fallaway stairs appear. We run across them quickly and get the Star.
Star Get #50, 12 Coins, 1 Life
We get a message: "You've recovered 50 Power Stars! now you can open the Star Door on the third floor. Bowser's there, you know. Oh! You've found all of the Cap Switches, haven't you? Red, green, and blue? The Caps you get from the colored blocks are really helpful. Hurry along, now. The third floor is just ahead."
No, I haven't found all of the Cap Switches. Bowser can't been on the third floor yet; we haven't dealt with him in the basement. We'll take care of him later.
Nintendo DS
When we land, we get the same message as in the N64. I take a hit from a fire bar and make it to the Big Bully with ease. I was pushed to the edge and knocked off, but the Big Bully fell off, too, causing the Star to appear. The fallaway stairs appeared, and I dropped into the lava with them, springing up to the platform with the Star. Falling into the lava will cause the character to jump up, so you can steer them to safety. We got the Star.
Star Get #58, 20 Coins, 4 Lives
