Shifting Sand Land - Pyramid Puzzle

N64
It's time to get the secret coins in the pyramid! To make things go faster, I used the Wing Cap to reach the pyramid. The secret coins are by the falling sand. I got the first coin near the moving sand near one of the grates, near the stairs. I got the next one by climbing to the top of the pyramid and going through the cap on the step just before the Star. When facing the back wall, jump down to your right for the next coin. Then jump to the left, then right again. Each time, you should land on small floating squares. Then follow the falling sand to the last secret coin. The Star will appear at the end of the falling sand, before it falls to the center of the pyramid.

This mission is a little different from the N64 version. We don't need Wario for the mission, only his ability to complete the Switch Star mission so we could access this one.
I used Mario for this mission. I used the Wing Cap to fly to the pyramid. In the pyramid, once we reach the second level, we see Silver Stars on the Touch Screen Map. They are in similar locations to the secret coins in the N64 versio, so it's easiest to go to the top of the pyramid and collect the Silver Stars as you descend. The first one is near the Star at the top of the pyramid, at the edge where you can jump off. A slight jump off the ledge down to the floating stone will get you the second. Jumping down to the left (when facing the back wall) will get you the third Silver Star. Then jump down in the flowing sand for the last two Silver Stars, making sure to keep jumping to avoid sinking. The Star Sphere is at the end of the flowing sand.

The next Star is Through the Jet Stream in Dire, Dire Docks.
