New Super Mario Bros. 2: Flower-Castle

This level features conveyor belts and gray springy mushrooms. There are pipes sending out infinite Goombas, who will bounce up to your level due to the mushrooms. Overhead are two red pipes sending out Bob-ombs. Use one to blow up the stones over the first Star Coin and throw another to get it. Keep going right, avoiding the onslaught of Goombas and Bob-ombs. Under the green pipe are two brick blocks. The left one has a P-Switch that makes Silver Coins to the left on the conveyor belt. To the right is the midpoint. There are more gray mushrooms. Over one is the second Star Coin. Time your drop to avoid the Goombas from the overhead pipes. There is a Gold Block on the left side of the right set of brick blocks over the bouncy balls. Go past the infinite vertically-moving platforms and you'll see blue conveyor belts. Hit the yellow switch above to change the direction. Duck under the spikes and go right to get the third Star Coin. Avoid being bounced out by the bouncy balls until you're ready. Next is the boss door. We have to deal with the last Koopaling here, Lemmy. He stands on a bouncy ball and his wand makes more. We're also on a conveyor belt, but we can change the direction using the switch on the ceiling. Hit him three times to defeat him. He will make another bouncy ball to stand on after each shell cycle, so hit him quickly. He won't fall off the conveyor belt. We can now go to World 5.

We get a couple of messages: "A new world is available in the Flower Pack in Coin Rush!" Another one, accompanied by fanfare, tells us, "You've collected every Star Coin in the game!" That brings our total Star Coins to 194 after using some to access levels. But if there aren't any Star Coins left to collect, what's going on in Star World? There are now two sparkling stars on our file.

To the right is a tall stack of pink mushrooms with pipes making an infinite amount of Goombas. Bounce up it carefully for the first Star Coin. Slide down the hill to reach the midpoint. The item block to the right will give you a Mini Mushroom. Use it to bounce off the circling Parakoopas into the mini pipe above. Here, you'll get a Starman and launch from a pipe cannon for the second Star Coin. When you return to the main level, go in the green pipe cannon and launch to another green pipe. Do not use it. Instead, while Mini Mario, bounce off the circling Parakoopas to reach the third Star Coin in the middle of the middle circle. Bounce towards the center of the circle to avoid hitting Parakoopas. Take the pipe at the end to an area with lots of pipe cannons. Get the Gold Block and use the pipe cannon to reach another, and another.
