It's raining fire in this level and the platforms move and bob in the lava. You'll find the first Star Coin nearby over the lava, but it dips into the lava periodically. Use a shell. The second Star Coin is in a gap above past the Red Coin Ring. Wall jump to get it, then jump to safety. Near the end of the level is a set of many brick blocks in a U shape. Let the fire get rid of some blocks, then jump onto them. Go to the right side and wait. The third Star Coin will appear. Drop back down and keep going to reach the regular goal. This opens the path to Peach's Castle-2.
Past the second Star Coin is a set of pillars with a line of brick blocks above them. Let the fire destroy some brick blocks, then jump onto them. Run to the right to find a hidden pipe. This will take you to the red goal. This opens the path to Peach's Castle-4.

New Super Luigi U: Rock-Candy Mines-5 -- Rising Piranhas
Grab Blue Baby Yoshi outside the level to help you with the enemies. This level is filled with Piranha Plants on moving platforms, so having Blue Baby Yoshi is very helpful. The first Star Coin is in the center of the path of a moving yellow platform. The second Star Coin is hidden in the square rock above the three Walking Piranha Plants. Nearby is Luigi's silhouette in the rock. Just past a Piranha Plant on a vertically-moving yellow platform is a set of three blocks. The top block has an Acorn in it. Get the Acorn, then jump back across the gap to the side with the Luigi silhouette. Jump and boost into the rock near the top of the screen. This will take you to the red goal, which opens the path to the red switch.
Past the block with the Acorn are more Giant Piranha Plants. There's a loop of platforms with one in it, along with the third Star Coin. Kill the Giant Piranha Plant with a nearby Koopa shell or with Blue Baby Yoshi's bubbles and get the Star Coin. Keep going and you'll see the regular goal.

New Super Luigi U: Rock-Candy Mines- Fort -- Smashing-Stone Tower
Grrols are everywhere in this level. There are invisible blocks you can hit to guide where they go. There are invisible blocks under the first Star Coin in the center, but get the Star Coin quickly. The Grrrols will break the blocks after you reveal them. Go up higher and you'll see a pipe on either side. Take one and you'll see Luigi's face made of stone. The second Star Coin is hidden here. Return to the main level. Near the top are tons of brick blocks. Grrrols will drop down and clear the bricks, initially forming stairs, then removing the brick blocks out of reach. Move quickly up the left stairs to a pipe. The third Star Coin is here. Break through the brick blocks to get it, then leave through the pipe on the left, which leads to the boss door. Kamek gives Boom Boom wings, making him harder to stomp. Stomp him three times to defeat him. This opens the path to Rock-Candy Mines-3 and -4.
Ground pound under the third Star Coin while Super Luigi to reach a pipe cannon that will allow you to get the coin and reach the red goal. This opens the path to Rock-Candy Mines-6.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle-5 -- Deepsea Stone-Eyes
There are a couple of ways to finish this level. To avoid getting wet, ground pound the second statue. This will make it drop down, revealing a hidden path to the red goal. This opens the path to Soda Jungle-6 and -7.
To reach the regular goal, and the Star Coins, go through the pipe. This will take you underwater. The first Star Coin is past a moving statue. It will slow down when you approach it. Dodge the Fishbones and swim up, avoiding the stones that can crush you. The second Star Coin is on the left, behind a statue that will rotate up to block off access to the Star Coin. Swim quickly. That statue will drop down after a while, allowing you to access a pipe hidden in the gap overhead. This will take you to an 8-bit Luigi and the third Star Coin. Use the pipe to the right to reach the regular goal. This opens a path that loops on itself.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle-4 -- Painted Pipeworks
This level has a Starry Night theme. There are Piranha Plants in the many pipes in this level, and some of the pipes move. Grab the Red Coins, if you like, for a Fire Flower. The first Star Coin is over a set of rotating pipes. The coin moves with it. The pipe below it has a Piranha Plant, so either time your jump or kill it. Ahead, pipes come down from the ceiling. The second Star Coin is between two of these pipes. Use a regular jump or a wall jump to get it, timing it so you land on the moving pipe to the right. The third Star Coin is between two pipes that are low it in the purple water. There's a pipe swinging overhead, so time a quick wall jump to get the Star Coin and land safely. The regular goal is ahead. This opens a path that loops back to the path to Soda Jungle-4 and -5.
In the area with the third Star Coin, between the swinging pipe and the flagpole is a red pipe coming down from the ceiling. Jump on the blue pipe when it swings that way to reach the pipe. This will take you to a painting of Luigi and the red goal. This opens the path to Soda Jungle-6 and -7.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle- Ghost House -- Boo's Favorite Haunt
This Ghost House is dark. There are several Boo rings here. The first Star Coin is over the second Boo ring. Get the Acorn and you come across Boos that fly all over the place. Further ahead are Boo rings that expand and contract. The second Star Coin is in one of those Boo rings. You'll come to some pendulum platforms, which will take you to a door in the darkness. Ignore that door and glide far to the right for the third Star Coin and another door. This door leads to a portrait of Luigi from Super Mario 64 DS and the red goal. This unlocks the path to Soda Jungle- Parabeetle.
The door after the pendulums leads to the regular goal. This opens the path to Soda Jungle-4 and -5.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle-2 -- Dancing Blocks, Poison Swamp
The dancing blocks are blocks that dive into the purple water. They will appear soon after, but you must time your jumps. There are also parts of a beanstalk that will expand and curl back up, allowing you to reach new areas. The first Star Coin is over the first set of diving blocks. Either time your jump so that the blocks will come out of the water when you're ready to land, or use the Acorn to glide to it. Ahead you'll find solid ground and some beanstalk parts. One goes under a ledge so you can reach the second Star Coin. You can either walk to it, or use a shell to get it. Near the flagpole is a set of arching blocks. Either walk to it or use a shell to get it. The regular flagpole opens the path to the Fort.
There's a pipe somewhat hidden near the purple water to the right of the diving blocks. You can't glide to it. One of the diving block sets has an item block. Pound the item block to make a P-Switch appear. This will make brick blocks appear over the purple water so you can run to the pipe. The pipe is a cannon that will take you to the red goal, which opens the path to Soda Jungle-6 and -7.

New Super Luigi U: Frosted Glacier- Ghost House -- Peek-a-Boo Ghost House
This is a tricky ghost house. When you start, the floor will disappear. Grab some coins on the way down. Go to the right and jump on a floating crate. Grab an Acorn from the item block. You'll approach a wall that will disappear when you get close. Ahead is a Boo ring with the second Star Coin. Boost over the Boo ring to get it. From the platform above the Boo ring, jump left and run until you drop down. This will take you to a hidden door. The door leads to the first Star Coin, which is high up, near the red goal. Boost to get the Star Coin. The red goal opens the path to Frosted Glacier- Fliprus.
To reach the regular goal, continue to the right from the second Star Coin. Wall jump up when you can to dodge Big Boo and get some items. There's another Boo ring ahead. Stand on a floating crate through the Boo ring to reach the third Star Coin. It's hidden in the platform surrounded by the Boo ring, and the only way to reach it is to jump from a crate when you pass through the platform. Stay on the crates and you'll see Luigi in a web. At the end is a door to the regular goal. This opens the path to the castle.

New Super Luigi U: Sparkling Waters- Ghost House -- Haunted Cargo Hold
This level features Boo rings and poles. In the water below are Fishbones. Take any pipe on the right to the main level. There are spinning crates in the water, where blue homing Cheep-Cheep are. There are more poles ahead and Boo rings circling them. The first Star Coin is right above one of the spinning crates. The second Star Coin is in the water, just past the Red Coin Ring. The third Star Coin is over some crates near the pipe to the flag. There is a Boo ring in front of the regular goal. This opens the path to Sparkling Waters-3 and -4.
The secret exit is just below the pipe to the regular goal. You may not have enough time to kill all of the Cheep-Cheep, so kill a few and swim quickly. There is a hidden area near the bottom between the metal bands on the wall. There is a pipe here that will take you to the red goal. This opens the path to Sparkling Waters-Leaf.

New Super Luigi U: Layer-Cake Desert-4 -- The Walls Have Eyes
The Easter Island statues with the moving eyes are here. They're on the ceiling and the floor and move to the left. Jump and run over them to go right. The first Star Coin is in the center of one statues. Pound the statue to make it drop into the ground, allowing you to reach the Star Coin. It will come back around if you miss it. To the right, you'll encounter Waddlewings. There are three statues near where the Waddlewings are. Pound the center statue to make it lower, then jump on it to find an invisible block with a vine in it. This will take you to the second Star Coin. Return to the main level and you'll see more statues, some of them on the ceiling. The third Star Coin is in this area, between two statues. Wall jump to get it. Keep going to the right and statues will appear so you can reach the regular goal. This opens the path to Layer-Cake Desert-6.
To reach the secret exit, go past where the vine in the invisible block is. There is solid ground to the right of the vine. Pound it to drop down to a pipe cannon. This will take you to the red goal. Statues will appear so you can reach it. This opens the path to Layer-Cake Desert- Fire Piranha.

New Super Luigi U: Acorn Plains-2 -- Crooked Cavern
It's time to go underground. Drop down to the level of the Piranha Plants and walk to the left past them. You'll find a hidden area with the first Star Coin. Go through the middle pipe where there's moving crystal. Wall jump between the two left pipes to find a hidden block with a Starman. Go to the right and wait so you can safely jump to the next crystal. You'll see a couple of Koopas. Stomp one and pick up it's shell and throw it into the brick blocks to get the second Star Coin. Walk right, then drop down to a lower crystal when the coins between the crystals are visible. This way, you'll land on the brick blocks below. Jump onto the higher brick blocks, then go right, where you'll find some Koopas and Piranha Plants. To the right is a pipe with an arrow. This will take you to the flagpole. There's a hidden 8-bit Luigi in the brick block stairs. This will open the path to Acorn Plains- Fort.
Get an Acorn Mushroom to get the third Star Coin. You'll have to pick it up elsewhere; you can't find them in this level. Jump from the platform below the pipe to the flagpole and glide to the right. The third Star Coin is here. A little to the left of the third Star Coin are some hidden brick blocks in the ground. Pound them to drop down, then walk to the right, where there's a yellow pipe to the red goal. This opens the path to Acorn Plains- Cheep Cheep.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Peach's Castle-1 -- Meteor Moat
Peach's Castle is a world of 5 levels. Peach is in the castle window, but we've got a way to go before we can save her. In this level, fiery meteors rain down, destroying blocks in our path. There's a moat of lava ahead, in which some platforms bob and float. The Ice Flower is in this level and can extinguish meteors. Some of the platforms will dip into the lava. One of the platforms has the first Star Coin. The midpoint is on solid ground and the second Star Coin is nearby, surrounded by brick blocks. Let the meteors break the top layer of brick blocks, then drop down to get it. Next is a large platform that rhythmically dips into the lava. There are platforms that always stay above the lava so you'll be safe. The third Star Coin is in a gap in the platform over the lava. Time your wall jumps carefully to avoid falling in. On one of the platforms with a Bony Beetle has a P-Switch. It turns coins into brick blocks, which will allow you to stay above the lava and reach an overhead pipe to the right of the large floating platform. Alternatively, you can fly using the Acorn Mushroom. This leads to the red goal. This opens the path to Peach's Castle-4. Otherwise, the regular goal is past the pipe. This opens the path to Peach's Castle-2.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Meringue Clouds- Ghost House -- Spinning Spirit House
This Ghost House is yet another maze. First, go through the door at the top before the Boos approach you. This leads to a room with three levels and several doors. This is where the maze begins. You can go through some of the walls, but not others. If you go to the right, you can reach the item block with a power-up. Hidden behind the wall you just passed through is a door. It leads to a room that's a spinning square. It will move to the right, past Boos and doors. The first door you'll come across is fake. The second door will return you to the same room with many doors. This time, you can go through different walls, but you cannot reach the item block any more. You can now access the door on the second level, on the left. It leads to a room with a descending floor and a Broozer. Let the Broozer live, because it can break open crates for coins. Keep it on the right side of the room so it can destroy the stones guarding the first Star Coin. The door at the bottom returns you to the room with many doors. On the second level, behind the middle wall is a spring to the third level. That door take you to a room with poles and fake item blocks that will attack you. Go through the door in the upper right corner. This will take you back to the room with many doors. You can now go to the right door on the third level. This room has a rising, tilting floor with a ring of Boos. The coins on the sides will move to the other side, where you can get them. The second Star Coin starts on the right side, but will move to the left side if you try to get it. Make the Star Coin move to the left side, then go to the left side to get it. The door at the top will return you to the room with many doors. From where you are, go down the stairs (which are hidden) and to the left for another door. This will lead to another spinning room with fake item blocks and Boos. The room will drop past a Big Boo and stop at a door. This will take you to the regular goal. This opens the path to Meringue Clouds-4, -5, and -6.
To get the third Star Coin, follow the path above until you exit the room with the poles. Go to the right, down the stairs, and to the left. On the far left wall, wall jump up to a hidden door. This leads to a room with hidden areas in the floor. Go to the far right first to access the hidden area, then hit the P-Switch on the left wall. A trail of Silver Coins will lead you to the third Star Coin. Use the spring to get it. The door leads to the red goal, which opens the path to the castle.
To reach Meringue Clouds-4, -5, or -6, approach the clouds in the gap between the Ghost House and those levels. Rainbows will appear, as well as an item block and Fuzzies. Memorize the path you want to take (probably to the item block) and step on the cloud at the start of that path. Once you move forward, Mario will run ahead and you can't steer. Meringue Clouds -4 is the level near the back, -5 is near the front, and -6 is in the middle.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Rock-Candy Mines-5 -- Walking Piranha Plants
Before you start the level, you can get Blue Baby Yoshi. Some of the rocks in the level will tilt when you stand on them, and eventually fall off. There are chains in the level to swing from. The walking Piranha Plants will move around, then stop and stretch their necks. In the area with three Piranha Plants and a Koopa, use the shell on the lower right rock to get access to the first Star Coin. There is a large gap in the ceiling next to a Piranha Plant and a chain near the area with platforms. Use the Acorn Mushroom to fly up into the gap to a new area. Hit the P-Switch, stand on the brick blocks, and fly to the left, then boost for the second Star Coin. Past the random item block and midpoint is a Red Coin Ring. There are moving platforms ahead with Walking Piranhas on them. The red pipe in the ground will give you some coins. The third Star Coin is under a ledge. Run and fly under the ledge, stick to the wall, then boost to it, then wall jump to safety. Go right and under a ledge for a green pipe to the red goal. This opens the path to the Fort and a red switch. Otherwise, keep going to the right and swing from a chain to the regular goal. This opens the path to the Fort through the blue switch.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Rock-Candy Mines- Fort -- Grinding-Stone Tower
This Fort has lots of spiked balls rolling around. There are moving pipes in the level that push them around. The level also features Bony Beetles. Over a horizontal green pipe is a hidden area with a block with a Mini Mushroom. This will make the level more difficult, but you'll need it to get some of the Star Coins. There is a mini pipe on the left wall. Dodge a large spike ball and run under it to get the first Star Coin. The second Star Coin is on the right side in a hidden area with three spike balls under the midpoint. Do not get a power-up yet; you have to be Mini Mario to get the third Star Coin. Above the midpoint are more moving pipes and spike balls. In an alcove to the left are some coins. The alcove above it and to the right has a Red Coin Ring. Next are lots of moving pipes and spike balls dropping down. There are few safe spots, so stay alert. As you climb, you'll see spots where the spike balls are coming from. One of them on the right wall is next to a mini pipe. With good timing, dodge the spike balls and go through the pipe. This leads to a vertical area with large spike balls rolling around on platforms. With good timing, jump straight up to the top of the level, carefully jumping up to each platform. At the top is the third Star Coin and a pipe to the red goal. This opens the path to Rock-Candy Mines-6.
If you do not go after the third Star Coin, continue up the maze of pipes and spike balls to the boss door. This time, Kamek gives Boom Boom wings. Boom Boom flies around and swoops down, but does not land. You'll need good timing to stomp him. Stand nearby so you can stomp him as soon as he gets up, because he flies off quickly. Defeating him opens the path to Rock-Candy Mines-3 and -4.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle-5 -- Deepsea Ruins
This level has water that's safe to swim in. There's an Ice Flower as well as a Fishbone outside, amongst the Stone Eyes. Platform on the Stone Eyes and dodge the Boo ring, then drop in the water between the Stone Eyes facing each other for the first Star Coin. At the end is a pipe that leads to a dark underwater area. You can't see much, so proceed cautiously and leave the light-up jellyfish alone. There are some lights in the water, one of which is in a Boo Ring. This is a vertical level, so you'll be swimming to the top of the level. After the ring of Boos is a Red Coin Ring. At the top of this part is a pipe to the next area, which has the midpoint. There are glowfish in this area, so leave them alone. You'll need all the light you can get. A little higher in the level, on the right side, is an item block with a Starman. This will light up the entire level, so use its power wisely and make some serious progress. The second Star Coin is in the center of a ring of Boos. As you get closer to the top, the Stone Eyes on the walls will start to move. Wait for the top Stone Eye to move into place so you can reach the pipe at the top. This will take you to the regular goal. This opens a path that double back to the path between here and the Ghost House, like the path for Soda Jungle-4. If you return to the level, at the top near the pipe to the regular goal, go over that last Stone Eye and to the right for the third Star Coin, as well as a pipe to the red goal. This opens the path out of this part of the jungle, through the courtyard of Boos, to Soda Jungle-6 and -7. (To get through the courtyard, memorize which traps doors the Boos go into, then avoid them on the path out of there.)

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle-4 -- Painted Swampland
From the background to the pipes, everything here was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. There's purple water you'll have to contend with, as well as Piranha Plants and Boos. The Fire Flower will help with the Piranha Plants. There are pipes in the water and some of them will tilt or sink when you stand on them. The brick block near a red pipe has a Starman. Carefully run around and take a yellow pipe down for the first Star Coin. It's in the center of a ring of Boos, so time your jump when the gap in the ring is on your side. Once you return to the main level, you'll find the second Star Coin over a green pipe that isn't tilted. It will sink when you stand on it, so jump quickly to get the Star Coin. Soon after is the midpoint. The third Star Coin is in the middle of another ring of Boos over a blue pipe. Stand on that blue pipe as it moves around, then time your jump to get the Star Coin and get out of the ring. On land, there is a sign with an arrow pointing down. Pound the area nearby to find a block with an Acorn Mushroom. There are Red Coins ahead. At the end of the trail of Red Coins is more land. Use the green pipe to go under the land to reach a pipe, which takes you to the red goal. This opens the path to the courtyard of Boos, which lets you out of this part of the jungle. If you pass the way to the red goal, you'll come across moving pipes that lead to the regular goal. This opens the path out of this part of the jungle, through the courtyard of Boos, to Soda Jungle-6 and -7. (To get through the courtyard, memorize which traps doors the Boos go into, then avoid them on the path out of there.)

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle- Ghost House -- Which-Way Labyrinth
This Ghost House is another maze of doors. There are five doors in the first part of the room. The fastest way out of here is as follows: Take the lower left door. This leads to a dark room with a rising floor and Boos. One of the item blocks has a Yellow Baby Yoshi. Hold Yellow Baby Yoshi and spin to light up the room temporarily. It also eats Boos. As the floor rises, stay to the left. When the floor gets close to the ceiling, there is an invisible area on the left side, so you won't get crushed. Quickly run to the right and go through the door. This leads to another dark room with Boos. The floor will drop out from under you and you'll start falling. You'll land on a level that will also disappear. Quickly run to the right before the floor disappears and you'll reach an invisible area with the third Star Coin. At the bottom is the door to the red goal. This opens the path to Soda Jungle- Parabeetle.
To reach the regular goal and get the other two Star Coins, go through the upper right door. It leads to a dark room with a couple of Broozers, that will punch barrels at you. In the center of the room is a floor that will descend when you stand on it. While it descends, go to the left for the first Star Coin, avoid the Broozer, then jump back up and make the floor descend again. This time, go to the right to a door that will take you back to the first room with five doors. This time, take the lower right door, which leads to a dark room with rats. You'll only be able to see their eyes glow at first, but to the right is an item block with another Yellow Baby Yoshi. In this room, you'll move right to left. The P-Switch makes Silver Coins appear. Go past the door you see at ground level and go up and to the left to a hidden area that leads to the upper door. This bring us to a part of the Ghost House that's above the five doors. Go up the stairs and up and over to the left of the door at the top of the stairs. You'll drop down to the second Star Coin. Wall jump out, then go through the lower door. This leads to a room with a tilting floor that descends. There's a giant Boo or two in the room. The floor will drop to the level of an item block with a Starman. Put the Starman to good use until you reach the door at the bottom. This leads to the regular goal, opening the path to Soda Jungle-4 and -5.
To reach the regular goal and get the other two Star Coins, go through the upper right door. It leads to a dark room with a couple of Broozers, that will punch barrels at you. In the center of the room is a floor that will descend when you stand on it. While it descends, go to the left for the first Star Coin, avoid the Broozer, then jump back up and make the floor descend again. This time, go to the right to a door that will take you back to the first room with five doors. This time, take the lower right door, which leads to a dark room with rats. You'll only be able to see their eyes glow at first, but to the right is an item block with another Yellow Baby Yoshi. In this room, you'll move right to left. The P-Switch makes Silver Coins appear. Go past the door you see at ground level and go up and to the left to a hidden area that leads to the upper door. This bring us to a part of the Ghost House that's above the five doors. Go up the stairs and up and over to the left of the door at the top of the stairs. You'll drop down to the second Star Coin. Wall jump out, then go through the lower door.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle-2 -- Bridge over Poisoned Waters
Purple water makes a reappearance in Soda Jungle and it's just as lethal as always. There are logs in the water that spin when anything stands on them. Keep jumping on the logs to keep from falling in the water. The Acorn Mushroom you can get is very helpful here. There are some pipes that make an infinite amount of Goombas. Under the second of these pipes is the first Star Coin. After that, you'll see some brick blocks moving over the water. One of the logs has a lot of open space above it. There are three tiers of invisible blocks over it, leading to a pipe. There's a P-Switch in the lower left corner and the second Star Coin is out of reach. Activate the P-Switch and run along the brick. More brick will appear where you step. Wall jump up to the level of the Star Coin and go past it, to the POW Block in the upper left corner. Once the P-Switch power runs out, use the POW Block to make the second Star Coin fall to the ground, along with a lot of coins. Return to the main level and go past a log with lots of coins to reach the midpoint. Next is a set of brick blocks that will appear out of the water, then return into it. Carefully step on them and follow them to the third Star Coin. You'll also come across a nearby Red Coin Ring. Once you return to solid ground, you'll see pillars of land. There's a low brick block between two of the land pillars. Hit it with a shell to make a vine appear. This vine will take you to the red goal, which opens a shortcut to Soda Jungle-6 and -7. Otherwise, keep going to the right for the regular goal, which opens the path to the Fort.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Frosted Glacier- Ghost House -- Swaying Ghost House
This level is an automatic sidescroller, which moves left and right, back and forth, up and down. In the first room, the level will scroll to the right, allowing you to reach a P-Switch. Hit the P-Switch and run to the left. Go up and over the platform you just went over, then drop down and go to the right. The brick blocks that were blocking access from the left are now coins, allowing you to drop down and reach the first Star Coin. Quickly go to the left and go through the coins to reach a door on the far left. Following the trail of Silver Coins will accomplish the same goal. This door leads to the second room, where you'll find a pole and two doors. Some item blocks will serve as the platform you'll use to go through the doors. From this room forward, the level becomes a maze. Follow the following path so you don't bother with rooms that don't take you anywhere.
In the room with the pole, take the top door. This leads to a room with a P-Switch, a line of coins, and a door below the door you came through. The level will scroll in a rectangular pattern, so wait until the camera lowers, then drop down to the newly-formed brick blocks, which will allow you to reach the lower door. In this room, you'll see a set of two coins that will move ahead of you. Dodge the Boos and hit the P-Switch, then run to the end of the room. While the coins are still brick blocks, jump on them, then wall jump for the second Star Coin. Take the door below to return to the room with the moving blocks and the P-Switch (the room that leads to the room with the second Star Coin, not the room with the pole). Activate the P-Switch and drop onto the brick blocks. Go to the right, which has a door in an invisible area below the door on the same level as the P-Switch.
This leads to a room with three doors. The level will scroll horizontally. On the far left wall is an invisible area with a ? Switch. Hit it and run all the way to the right. You don't need to jump. Under the door you came through is an invisible area with a door. This leads to a room with a high ceiling. There are Boos all over the place. Do not collect the line of coins. Hit the P-Switch, then jump on the newly-formed bricks. Keep jumping quickly, as the brick blocks will follow you. You'll find some giant Boos near the top. If you jump quickly enough, you'll reach a platform with a door. This leads to a giant Boo and the regular flagpole. This opens the path to the castle.
If you return to the room with the high ceiling and the line of coins, hit the P-Switch again. Jump even more quickly into the center of the ceiling, where you'll find a hidden door. This leads to a room that only scrolls to the right. With good timing, you have to hit the P-Switch above you and move through the maze of brick blocks and coins. When you see two sets of brick blocks below a gap in the ceiling, quickly wall jump up for the third Star Coin. The door here leads to the red goal, which opens the path to Frosted Glacier- Fliprus.
In the room with the pole, take the top door. This leads to a room with a P-Switch, a line of coins, and a door below the door you came through. The level will scroll in a rectangular pattern, so wait until the camera lowers, then drop down to the newly-formed brick blocks, which will allow you to reach the lower door.
