The enemies and blocks are gigantic here. The first brick block has a 1-up. Swing on the vines past the Piranha Plants. Use a shell to hit a brick block to make a vine and an 8-bit Luigi appear. The vine will take you to where the first Star Coin is. Use a shell to get it. Return to the main level and you'll see the second Star Coin, blocked off by brick blocks. As Super Luigi, ground pound the brick blocks to get the Star Coin. Ahead is a giant pipe. Stand on it and kick a shell ahead of you. Follow it so you can get the third Star Coin. Ahead is the flag.
