Super Mario 3D World: 4-3 -- Beep Block Skyway

It's time to step to the beep again! The block platforms that appear switch after three ticks. Grab a Double Cherry and carefully cross the platforms. There are several Boomerang Bros in the area. Keep grabbing Double Cherries as you go. Go left and go to the blue platforms to reach the first Green Star. There's a safe block for you to use nearby. Nearby is a warp box.

The warp box takes you near the midpoint. On the back wall, you'll find 8-bit Luigi swimming. Go up the disappearing stairs and you'll find the midpoint. If you have 4 characters, you can stand on the platform to reach the stamp. Alternatively, you can climb up the wall if you're a cat. Go down the stairs for the warp box.

The warp box takes you near an area with a couple of Boomerang Bros. Go through the pipe and hit the P-Switch. Collect all the Silver Coins with your clones for the second Green Star. Ahead is a long slide made up of the switching platforms. Stay towards the center so you can cross easily. Try to keep as many clones as possible. At the bottom of the slide is a split P-Switch for the third Star Coin. Ahead is the flagpole, behind some Boomerang Bros and switching platforms.

The stamp is of the Double Cherry.

New Super Luigi U: Superstar Road-5 -- Under Construction

This level has blocks that appear and disappear over purple water. Get an item from the item blocks if you need it, then jump to the second set of brick blocks. The first Star Coin is here, surrounded by brick blocks. Break them to get the Star Coin and keep going. You'll soon see some Red Coins. Farther ahead is a set of brick blocks that you must wall jump up. Next to it is the second Star Coin over the purple water. Wall jump to get it. Ahead are some Boos floating around. Nearby are coins that form a square. They surround an invisible block with a vine. This will take you to a giant 8-bit Luigi from Super Mario World, with the third Star Coin on top. Drop down on the right side to reach the flag. Bowser Jr. is in the background.

New Super Luigi U: Peach's Castle-3 -- Hot Cogs

It's time to platform on cogs in lava. The first Star Coin is in the first cog. It may disappear into the lava. The second Star Coin is over a cog that is low in the lava. Jump carefully. There's a hidden 8-bit Luigi nearby. Get the Red Coins if you like, then dodge the Podoboos. The third Star Coin is under a ledge, guarded by Podoboos. You can either try to run and get it if you're powered up enough, or use an Ice Flower to get rid of the Podoboos. There are cogs in front of the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Meringue Clouds-2 -- Wiggler Rodeo

This level is filled with Nippers. To go over them, bounce off of the Wigglers walking around. Past the first patch of solid land is a Chomp. To the left of it is the first Star Coin behind brick blocks. Pound the Chomp's stake when it's facing to the left so it will break the bricks for you. In that area are more brick blocks, along with 8-bit Luigi. One of them has a Starman. Get it so you can run over the Nippers. You'll need it to get the first Star Coin, which is under a nearby mushroom, and the third one, which is farther ahead. Ignore the Red Coins so you can get both Star Coin. Keep going and you'll reach the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Rock-Candy Mines-2 -- Porcupuffer Cavern

Take the yellow pipe past the crab. The main part of the level bobs in the water. There are music note blocks that allow you to reach a pole. Bounce on the third music note block from the left to trigger the appearance of the first Star Coin overhead. Keep going and you'll see another pole near a crab. Jump up to the right to find a hidden area with the second Star Coin and 8-bit Luigi. The third Star Coin will appear below. Take the pipe at the end and bounce on the music note blocks to reach the flagpole.

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- Parabeetle -- Para-Beetle Parade

This level is an automatic side-scroller. There's a 1-up in the large item block at the start, with an Acorn and a P-Switch below it. The P-Switch makes Silver Coins appear over the Parabeetles in the air. Platform from Parabeetle to Parabeetle to stay alive. Keep hitting the P-Switches to keep the Silver Coins on screen. Some of the P-Switches are on the Parabeetles. They will show you how to jump. Collect them to get more lives. Be sure to dodge the Piranha Plants riding on the Parabeetles. The first Star Coin is on the left side, over a giant Piranha Plant. Hit the blocks under it to kill it. To the right, giant Banzai Bills will appear. There is a Red Coin Ring nearby. Follow the trail of Red Coins by gliding and they'll lead you to the second Star Coin. You'll need to boost to get it. Drop down before the giant Banzai Bill appears, and keep moving so the small Parabeetles do not rise into the giant Banzai Bill. You'll find an 8-bit Luigi here. Keep going and you'll see a trail of Silver Coins that lead down to the third Star Coin. Stand on a large Parabeetle to reach it. Stand on higher Parabeetles, then glide over the giant Banzai Bill to the flagpole. This opens the path into Meringue Clouds.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle- Fort -- Stone-Snake Tower

There is purple water in this fort, and it rises, so you'll have to keep moving. Go past the Grrrols and you'll see a snake block. It will snake throughout the fort. Wall jump to reach the first Star Coin. Grab the Red Coins if you like. On the left wall is a P-Switch which turns coins into blocks, leading you to the second Star Coin between two spiked ball and chains. Silver Coins also appear. Near the top, a second snake block will appear and the snake blocks will take you to the boss door. Near the left wall, the passage will narrow and you'll have to jump from snake block to snake block, following the coin arches. Jump at the first coin arch to reach the third Star Coin, 8-bit Luigi, and a 1-up. Go through the boss door and Kamek will make Boom Boom a giant. Stomp three times to win.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle-1 -- Giant Swing-Along

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.

New Super Luigi U: Frosted Glacier -- Wendy's Thwomp Castle

There are Thwomps in this castle, and they hover over brick blocks, so you won't be able to stay in some areas for long. There are some areas of solid ground, where you'll find more Thwomps and Dry Bones. The first Star Coin is in the gap between stone platforms. Approach the Thwomps to make them fall, wall jump in the gap to get the Star Coin, then wall jump to safety. Keep going and you'll have to wall jump up. Trigger the Thwomp over the gap, then, when it rises, quickly drop down and jump to get the second Star Coin. Ahead is a Red Coin Ring. After that is a series of Thwomps that will crash down on to brick blocks. An 8-bit Luigi is hidden behind one of them. Run and time your jumps so that you collect the coins (they're there to guide you). Wall jump off the brick blocks under the Thwomp in front of the boss door, then jump over it to land near the boss door. Trigger it again, then drop down in its path, then run to the right for the hidden third Star Coin.

Go through the boss door and launch from the cannon to challenge Wendy. The ceiling is covered in icicles, the floor is icy, and she's wearing ice skates. She'll use her wand to send rings bouncing through the room. Stomp her three times to win. This will open the path to the Soda Jungle. We now have all of the Star Coins in Frosted Glacier.

New Super Luigi U: Frosted Glacier-5 -- Ice-Slide Express

Outside the level are a couple of blocks. Hit them to get the Penguin Suit, then take the pipe underground. This level lets you belly-slide through most of the level. The rolling hills will let you gain a little momentum. When the path splits, jump for the first Star Coin. Nearby is a Silver Ring which makes Silver Coins appear. The Silver Coin trail leads to a Red Coin Ring and the second Star Coin surrounded by brick blocks. Slide into the brick blocks to break them and get the Star Coin. Towards the end of the level, you'll slide up a large slope, then drop down the water. There are blocks of ice floating in the water under pipes with Piranha Plants. Get a running start, slide, then jump when the path splits to hit some brick blocks and break them. This will allow you to reach the third Star Coin, which is hidden in the alcove above before you reach the pipe. There's an 8-bit Luigi in the alcove. The pipe takes you to the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Sparkling Waters- Castle -- Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle

As the name suggests, you're going to be dodging some bullets in this castle. There are Bullet Bills and Banzai Bills in the air and Torpedo Teds in the water. The Ice Flower is available here. The first Star Coin is high in the arch of coins over the water between two Bill Blasters. Take the pipe near the brick wall down underwater. Here you'll find homing Torpedo Teds. Hit the block between two item blocks to make a P-Switch appear. Lure the Torpedo Teds into break the brick blocks around it and hit the switch. This will turn the brick blocks into coins so you can get the second Star Coin in the coins in the middle, near the floor. Alternatively, you can lure the Torpedo Teds into breaking the brick blocks surrounding the Star Coin. On the right side is a pipe and an 8-bit Luigi. Take the pipe to the main level. There is an item block to the left next to the wall of brick blocks. Get the powerup quickly if you need it, as a Banzai Bill will break through the wall very soon. Jump on the brick blocks to the right and keep going. Jump from the brick blocks to reach the third Star Coin before the Banzai Bill destroys the blocks. Keep going to the right to the boss door. Water pillars will appear in Larry's Airship, making stomping him and dodging his attacks a little more difficult. Stomp him three times to win. This opens the path to the Airship in the Soda Jungle. We now have all of the Star Coins in Sparkling Waters.

New Super Luigi U: Sparkling Waters-1 -- Huckit Beach Resort

It's time to go to the beach! There are lots of Huckits, the crabs that throw rocks, here as many huts above the water. You can walk into the huts to find hidden areas with coins, Huckits, and item blocks. Use the water pillars to reach higher places. The first Star Coin is in the first hut. Enter the hut from the right side. Below the boardwalk is a pipe in the water. It leads to an 8-bit Luigi and the second Star Coin. Ahead you'll see Huckits in tiers of brick blocks over the water. Pound the ground from the top tier to reach the third Star Coin. Use the water pillars to reach the flag.

New Super Luigi U: Layer-Cake Desert- Fire Piranha -- Slippery Rope Ladders

This level has lots of ice. The Fire Piranhas can melt the smaller chunks of ice. There are rope ladders that let you reach new areas. The first Star Coin is near the second rope ladder. Jump from the ladder, then wall jump back to the ladder to get it. Slide down the icy ground, then go past the Piranha Plants in moving pipes. There's a Red Coin Ring in the area. The Red Coins lead to the second Star Coin. Go up higher and you'll find a couple of Fire Bros and 8-bit Luigi. The third Star Coin is up here. Keep going to the right past a pipe is the flag, set against a constellation backdrop.

New Super Luigi U: Layer-Cake Desert- Fort -- Wind-Up Tower

This Fort has gears to spin that temporarily move stones into place so you can climb up. This is where Luigi's lack of traction can be a huge issue. You don't have a lot of time to climb back up if you fall, but keep trying. Spin the first gear and jump up before the stones come together. The stones form stairs. The first Star Coin is behind the vertically-moving stone. Jump quickly to get it before it is covered up. Keep climbing past the Dry Bones and get a powerup. Above is a second gear. To the right of the gear is an invisible block with a 1-up. Spin the gear, but do not move the stones all the way. This is where the platforming gets a little tricky. Climb up and get the second Star Coin. When you reach the top, go right, then up for the third gear. The stones will separate, but only briefly. You must move quickly to get out of there alive. Drop back down if you can to spin the gear again if you need to. There's an 8-bit Luigi here, and the third Star Coin is revealed towards the top. After surviving that, go through the boss door. Kamek will power up Boom Boom, making him spin. Defeat him and a tornado will surround Peach's Castle.

New Super Luigi U: Layer-Cake Desert-3 -- Piranhas in the Dark

Take the pipe underground into the dark cave. There are giant Piranha Plants, some of which breathe fire. The fire and the lights on the moving platforms provide some light. The first Star Coin is over a giant Piranha Plant. The second Star Coin is on the right side of a platform, behind a giant Piranha Plant. Kill the Piranha Plant and stand on the platform. It will eventually dip down so you can get it while standing on the platform. Over solid ground is an item block with a Yellow Baby Yoshi. It will help illuminate the area. Ahead are some Fire Bros and more giant Piranha Plants, some of which are on the ceiling or overhead pipes. One of the giant Piranha Plants is hanging from a green pipe. Kill this Piranha Plant (you won't have time to kill all of them, but you can kill some of the other ones) and go through the pipe. There's an 8-bit Luigi behind the Piranha Plant. The pipe will take you to the third Star Coin and the flag.

New Super Luigi U: Acorn Plains- Castle -- Lemmy's Lights-Out Castle

The castle is dark, but has overhead lights that swing. Some of them move with the pendulums in the castle. The first Star Coin is over a high pendulum that swings over another. There's a Red Coin Ring that makes Red Coins appear over the pendulums swinging over the gap. Collecting them all will give you a 1-up or an Acorn Mushroom. You'll need it to reach the second Star Coin, which is below a pendulum. Drop down to get it, then boost to safety. Over solid ground are a set of three brick blocks. The middle one contains a P-Switch. This will turn the coins into brick blocks so you can safely travel over the Nippers. Drop down into the gap between two sets of Nippers for a pipe. This leads to the third Star Coin, over a pendulum. The boss door is ahead. There's an 8-bit Luigi on the right wall. Going through the boss door will add 100 seconds to your time. Launch from the cannon to the Airship. Lemmy stands on a bouncy ball and tosses bombs. Stomp him three times to defeat him. You'll open the path to Layer-Cake Desert. You'll also get a message saying that you've collected all the Star Coins, which should mean something good. Save your game.

New Super Luigi U: Acorn Plains- 4 -- Piranha Heights

Before entering the level, have Pink Baby Yoshi follow you. This level has pipes and moving mushroom platforms with Piranha Plants. The first Star Coin is above and to the right of the first set of pipes. To the right is a long platform above a mushroom. You'll find an Acorn Mushroom over the mushroom. The second Star Coin is above the second set of pipes. There will be two pipes near the top that have coins between them. Fly between those pipes to reach a pipe to an 8-bit Luigi and the third Star Coin. The pipe on the right will take you to the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Acorn Plains-1 -- Waddlewing Warning!

It's time for Luigi's first solo platforming mission! There are lots of Waddlewings here, the flying squirrels. Each of them carries an Acorn Mushroom, so there are plenty of opportunities to power up. At the start, there's an 8-bit Luigi with a sort of "title screen". There are hidden 8-bit Luigis throughout the game. As with all levels, you have only 100 seconds to complete the level, not leaving a lot of time to explore. The first brick block has a 1-up in it. The first Star Coin is nearby. Follow the first trail of coins up by boosting as Flying Squirrel Luigi to get it. There are a few Piranha Plants in lower parts of the level. The second Star Coin is below one of the moving pieces of land. Glide from the right to get it, then boost to safety. Follow another trail of coins and glide past some flying Waddlewings, then boost to get the third Star Coin and reach the flag. This will open the path to Acorn Plains-2.

Super Mario 3D Land: 2-3

Here's where things really start to look like Galaxy. We land on 8-bit Mario. The Item Block has a Propeller Block. The P-Switches make coins to collect for applause. The higher P-Switch requires the Propeller Block. All we have to do to activate the Propeller Block is to jump and hold down (A) or (B). We jump down to lower platforms, including an 8-Bit Mushroom. We get the second Star Coin by falling through the hoop to it and hold (A) to activate the Propeller to safety. Next is 8-bit Peach. We use the Starman to take out some green enemies for a ring of coins. We take an orange Mystery Box to an 8-bit area. We hop up the stairs and reach the flagpole.
Take 2- We grab a Tanooki Suit from 1-1. We get the musical notes, which play a Super Mario 3 remix, for a 1-up. We spin the gear on the mushroom for Red Coins for a 1-up. The gear on Peach takes us to the third Star Coin. We get two 1-ups at the goal, one for having the Propeller Block.
Take 3- There is a brick block concealing a gear on Mario's right foot. (All of the gears are concealed by brick blocks.) We spin it for a long time, reaching 8-bit Fire Luigi with the first Star Coin. We reach the goal for two 1-ups.
