This mission is a modified version of Vanish Cap Under the Moat for the Nintendo DS.
We need to drain the moat to access this area in the same way as in the N64 version: go through the wooden door next to the door to Hazy Maze Cave, swim through the tunnel and pound each pillar once. The sign says the same thing as in the N64 version. The water will drain, allowing us to open the metal door which leads to the drained moat of the castle. Near the waterfall is a black brick block, so we need Wario to break it. Breaking it reveals a hole to the area under the moat. We must start the area as Wario, because going into the castle to swap out characters will cause the brick block to regenerate.
With the Touch Screen Map, we can see where we need to slide to get the Red Coins. The first two steps have Red Coins, the third has a 1-up in a block, and the fourth has a Power Flower. The step directly below the Power Flower has a Red Coin, as does the step to the right. The step to the left has another 1-up, which I did not get. (I also did not get the 1-up at the top of the slide in the right corner.) At the bottom of the slide are several flaming orbs, as well as a Power Flower. Arouond the corner are an Amp and Mario's cap. We change into Mario for easier maneuvering. Next come the series of elevators. After the first elevator is a tilting ramp with two Red Coins. After that are two elevators moving in opposite directions, which calls for careful platforming so you do not get flipped off. Jump to the other platform of the same elevator before it flips, then jump down to the next elevator. The next Red Coin is in front of the last elevator. After we get off the elevator, there is a Luigi cap, a Power Flower, and the last Red Coin. The Star appears in the nearby cage. We put on the Luigi cap, use the Vanish Cap, and run through the cage to get the Star.
Star Get #94, 26 Coins, 5 Lives
Getting the Star puts us outside the level, so we go back into the course to get the Switch Star. We quickly slid down the slide and got the Mario cap. At the base of the slide is the Power Flower we need to float along the wall on the left side of the slide. Soon, you'll find a vertical maze. Don't float to the top, because all you'll find is the Star Sphere. We step on the switch and get the Power Flower and float to the top of the maze, recharging in the middle. Towards the top is a 1-up. It took me a few tries, but I got the Star. I released the Power Flower before tripping the switch to save time.
Star Get #95, 34 Coins, 6 Lives
The next Star is Snowman's Big Head.
