N64
Now that we've stepped on the Metal Cap Switch, we can now get the Star at the bottom of Jolly Roger Bay. We get the Metal Cap from the nearby green block, and Mario turns to metal before he puts the cap on his head. We run under the water, which kind of looks like walking on the moon. I took a hit from a clam and ran out of power before I could reach the Star. I surfaced and found a closer green block near the switch that forms a bridge to the ship. We get the Metal Cap and sink to the bottom. We stood on the grate and got the Star as the power ran out.
Star Get #43, 2 Coins, 8 Lives
Nintendo DS
Now that we have Wario, we can finally get this Star. We don't have to enter the painting as Wario, but we need to be Wario to access the Power Flower's Metal Cap property. We swim to the rock near the ship, and get the Power Flower near the switch that forms the bridge to the ship. We run into the water and let Wario sink to the floor. Over the bubbling grate, we get the Star before the power runs out.
Star Get #82, 0 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is Switch Star of Cool, Cool Mountain.

Jolly Roger Bay - Switch Star of the Bay
This mission is unique to the Nintend DS.
Now that we have Luigi, we can get some new Stars. We swim into the cave. There is an item block with a Power Flower, which will have the same effect as the Vanish Cap, which we haven't found yet in the N64. It doesn't last as long as the Wing Cap, but has the same music. We get a message: "The Power Flower turned Luigi invisible. Now he'll be able to elude enemies and walk through many things. Try it out!" We run to the right wall. Behind a rock is a Star Switch, so we step on it. The Star appears in a cage. Because we are invisible, we can run right through it and get the Star. We get the Star before time and the Power Flower run out.
Star Get #46, 6 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is Swimming Beast in the Cavern.

Jolly Roger Bay - Blast to the Stone Pillar
N64
We climb into the cannon and aim for the stone pillar next to the left wall. I overshot the pillar, then undershot it. Mario clung to the stone pillar on the third try, by aiming with about 2 inches of the stone pillar on screen. Mario then pole jumped off the pillar onto a ledge with an item block. We hit the block to get a Star.
Star Get #22, 2 Coins, 9 Lives
Nintendo DS
Now that we have Mario and the red item blocks unlocked, this will be an incredibly easy mission. There is a red item block on the beach where we land. We hit it to make a Power Flower appear. We touch it and Mario puffs out and starts floating, and a remix of the Wing Cap music plays. We get a message: "With the Power Flower, Mario can float like a balloon. In Standard Mode, press (B) repeatedly to make Mario float up, and crouch to land. Change his direction with the (Control Pad). Try it out!
All we have to do is float to the ledge with the Star instead of aiming with the cannon. At first, we just overshot it because we were too high in the air. The second time, we just undershot it. Timing and speed are important. We undershot it again, but on the fourth try, we landed, but took damage from falling. The Star is on the ledge, so we jump to get it.

Jolly Roger Bay - Red Coins on the Ship Afloat
N64
It's time to get some more Red Coins and a 100 Coin Star. There are just enough coins to get 100, so collect every one you can. Four of the Red Coins are in clams at the bottom of the bay, one of which is in deep water. Two are near the Bob-omb buddy and one is near the drop-off. There are a few coin rings in the water. There is also a Blue Coin Switch in the cave to add to your coin total. Another Red Coin is on the stone pillar near the Bob-omb Buddy. The last three coins are on the ship, one near the bow and two at the stern. As the boat rocks in the water, the coins may be out of reach. There is also a sliding crate on board with the skull and crossbones, which means it is poisonous. We didn't touch it, but it does cause damage. After getting the 6th Red Coin, the 100 Coin Star appeared.
Star Get #20, 100 Coins, 7 Lives
After getting the last two Red Coins, the Star appeared at the stern of the ship, because there is no blue Star to mark where it will appear.
Star Get #21, 104 Coins, 9 Lives
Nintendo DS
We're also going to get 100 Coins here. We get the Blue Coins from the Blue Coin Switch using the shell in the bricks and take a hit from a Goomba. The Red Coins are in the same location as the N64. Getting 100 Coins is much easier due to the Blue Coin Switch on the beach. I struggled to find enough in the N64 version, but here, I don't even have to go into the cave.
Star Get #23, 100 Coins, 4 Lives
I get the Red Coins on the Ship last. There is no blue Star to mark where the Power Star will show up, so it appears at the stern of the ship.
Star Get #24, 106 Coins, 6 Lives
The next Star is Behind Chomp's Gate.

Jolly Roger Bay - Treasure of the Ocean Cave
N64
The entrance to the ocean cave is found in deep water, so we dive under the floating ship. Unagi is swimming around, but is easily avoided. Near Unagi's cave is the entrance to the ocean cave, near the back wall. Once we surface, the music gets a drumbeat added to it. There are falling rock pillars that can and will hurt you if you don't get out of the way in time. I got hit twice. In the back of the cave are four chests. We have to open in the correct order, which is back, left, right, center. The center has the Star.
Star Get #19, 10 Coins, 7 Lives
Nintendo DS
When I entered the castle, a beam of light was coming down from the ceiling, which means the Wing Cap Course is now open. I looked into the light, but Yoshi just tumbled down, collecting a couple of coins along the way. Yoshi cannot use the Wing Cap, so we're going to continue with Jolly Roger Bay. Unagi is swimming around and the cave is in the same place. A sign at the entrance to the cave says "Keep out! That means you! Arrgghh! Anyone entering this cave without permission will meet certain disaster. -- The Cap'n" Seems like there were pirates here. I dodged the falling pillars, but took a hit from a Goomba. At the back are the four chests, which are opened in the same order, with numbers appearing out of them. The Star flies out of the last chest into the middle of the four of them.
Star Get #15, 4 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is Sunshine Isles.

Jolly Roger Bay - Can the Eel Come Out to Play?
N64
We land back on the beach and notice that the ship has resurfaced and is floating in the bay. We swim over to the Bob-omb Buddy on the rock near the floating platform and stone pillar so he will open the cannon for us. We then dive into the depths near the back to find a large eel named Unagi in a hole in the rock. (Unagi is Japanese for eel.) If you get close to Unagi, it will swim out of the hole and start circling the bay a couple of times before returning. It can hurt you when it swims out, so stay away while it's leaving. On its tail is the Star, which it trails behind it as it swims. All we have to do is touch the Star to release it and it will fly near an underwater rock. This may take some time, so be sure to surface for air. I didn't need to as I reached the Star with 2 bars of health remaining.
Star Get #18, 0 Coins, 4 Lives
Nintendo DS
Before we started the mission, we read a sign in the room with the aquariums: "Activate the ? Switch in the castle's mystical Rainbow Tower to make all the ? Blocks solid. Breeak the ? Blocks to get special items like Power Flowers. These bewitching blossoms strengthen each character in a different way. Depending on their dispositions, characters can float, turn into metal, disappear, or breathe fire. In addition to Power Flowers, ? Blocks can also give you Wings to fly. But only if you are the original plumber." Interesting. We will take care of that later.
We land on the beach and swim to the Bob-omb Buddy and get him to open the cannon, which appears to be filled with water when it is opened. We dive down and coax Unagi out of the hole. We don't get hit, but are close enough to touch the Star and release it moments after it appears. It flies a short distance and stops in front of the hole. We get it with 5 bars of health. This was easier!

Jolly Roger Bay - Plunder in the Sunken Ship
N64
In the room with the aquariums is a picture of a sunken ship. Toad stands near the door and says "The names of the Stars are also hints for finding them. They are displayed at the beginning of each course." With that in mind, we have to find the Star in the sunken ship. The underwater music plays here and there is a foggy mist over the water. We land on a small beach and see lots of water and pointy rock formations coming out of it. We swim out to deeper water and dive down, seeing a ship resting at the bottom. One of its windows is closed and the other one houses an eel. We approach the eel and it swims out of the window, hitting us. We surface for air and dove back down to the ship to find that the eel was gone. We go through the empty window into the interior of the ship. There is a pocket of air at the bow of the ship, as well as an item block, which we can't open when we're underwater. At the stern are four chests. We have to open them in a certain order: back, right, left, and center, when you face the stern of the ship. We approach each chest in order. We hear a chime and the water starts draining. To make this easier, we started swimming to the bow immediately. There are several mollusks serving as platforms to the item block. They can be tricky to navigate, so we swam as fast as we could, and landed on the second to last mollusk near the item block. For a better aim, I backflipped to the last mollusk, so I wouldn't fall and have to start from where the chests were. I hit the block for the Star.
Star Get #17, 0 Coins, 7 Lives

In the aquarium room, Toad tells us "The Star you chose at the beginning fo the course appears on the map below. The name of the Star is also a clue. You can also collect stars that don't appear on the map. Get the Stars in any order you like. Keep in mind, though... Some Stars only appear when you choose specific missions, enemies, and items. Once you've retrieved some Stars, move on to the door to the next course. Everyon'es waiting for you to save us!" We jump into the painting of the underwater bubbles to begin our next mission. A Bob-omb Buddy brings a Mario Cap on the map to our attention: "Looks like red caps are really chic. I keep seeing them around here lately." We swim into deeper water and dive. We wait safely for the eel to exit and go through the window. We find a lone chest at the bottom and approach it to open it. An air bubble appears, the chime sounds, and the water drains. Yoshi isn't as fast as Mario was in the N64, but we make it over halfway up; only 4 mollusks away. We hit the block for the Star.
