This mission is unique to the Nintendo DS.
I mentioned coins in the sky when I got 100 Coins on this course. The coins in the sky are arranged in rings, just like in Mario Wings to the Sky. To reach the top of the mountain faster, I decided to chase Hoo out of the tree near where we started. He took us to the top of the mountain quickly. I got the Wing Cap and started flying to get the coins in the center of the rings. I got two on my first pass and decided to recharge the Wing Cap. I got the last three on my second pass. You can get them in any order. The Star appears on the peak.

Tall, Tall Mountain - Breathtaking View from (the) Bridge
N64
I tried getting 100 coins here, but gave up after losing several lives. Near the mountain peak, on the narrow bridge, we can see an alcove in the rock behind the waterfall. I jumped from the left side of the bridge to reach the alcove, which contains a Star. You can also long-jump or create a block in front of the alcove with the switch near the meshy vines.

Once again, I decided to enlist the help of Hoo, after falling off the mountain. He took us to the peak. The Star is in an alcove behind the waterfall, as in the N64 version. This time, however, the Star is blocked by a black brick block, so we need Wario to get this Star. Conveniently, Wario's Cap is at the peak as well. There is a bridge to the alcove so reaching it is easier. We break the brick block to get the Star.

Tall, Tall Mountain - Mysterious Mountainside
N64
We need to climb up the mountain, long-jump across the waterfall and go where the cloud is. Near the cloud is a piece of the mountainside that ripples like the paintings when you touch it. If we jump into the mountainside, we will find ourselves at the top of a slide. The slide music plays. I fell off once. The slide is long, and can be challenging at points. Where there are a bunch of arrows pointing to a part of the slide where it forks, go that way. The other way will end in the abyss. There are sharp turns and the slide twists so there is very little to slide on. At one point, there is a gap in the slide, so you have to be going fast enough to clear it. If you fall off, you will lose a life, but will restart at the top of the slide. There are 1-ups on the slide, including one hidden behind the right wall at the top of the slide. The slide will end at a hole, which will lead you to an otherwise unreachable alcove in the side of the mountain with the Star. Don't try to get the last of your 100 Coins here, you'll slide past the Star before you can collect it.

Nintendo DS
The piece of mountainside is in the same location and coins lead into it to mark the way. I got a 1-up behind the right wall at the top of the slide. I made it to the end of the slide without falling off. We drop through the hole and land in the alcove, which is now caged in. The Star is there, as well.

Tall, Tall Mountain - Scary 'Shrooms, Red Coins
N64
It's time to tackle a treacherous set of Red Coins! Four of them are on the mushrooms after the second gap. The rest are on the ledges near the Monty Moles. I fell off twice, as the mushrooms are floating over the abyss. On the third try, I got them all. Jump carefully from mushroom to mushroom, letting go of the joystick so you don't run off. The Star appears on a mushroom away from the mountain. Just jump away from the mountain where the Monty Moles are.

The Red Coins are in the same locations. I got the mushrooms' Red Coins with ease, letting go of the D-pad when I landed. The Red Coins are on the ledges are easy to get. The Star appears on the mushroom away from the mountain near the Monty Moles.

Tall, Tall Mountain - Mystery of the Monkey Cage
N64
Near the peak of the mountain, at the top of the waterfall, there is a Star floating in a cage. We have no way of getting at it. At the peak of the mountain is a small monkey named Ukiki. We chase him around the peak until we finally catch him. He says "Owwwuu! Let me go! Uukee-kee! I was only teasing! Can't you take a joke? I'll tell you what, let's trade. If you let me go, I'll give you something really good. So how about it? Free him/ Hold on"
We free him and follow him to the Star. He hops on the cage, saying "Eeeh hee hee hee!" spins the cage, the chime sounds, and the Star falls down to a rock near the waterfall. We jump down, taking damage, and getting the Star.
Star Get #91, 15 Coins, 8 Lives
Nintendo DS
We climb to the top of the mountain and see the Star. Ukiki is at the top of the mountain, so we chase him around until we catch him, which took me much less time than on the N64. He says the same thing and we free him. He spins the cage and it falls, releasing the Star in the same place. We take fall damage and get the Star.

Tall, Tall Mountain - Scale the Mountain
This is the 12th course in the game.
On the second floor, near the Toad under the stairs, is a small painting of mushrooms, a mountain, and a waterfall. This is the entrance to Tall, Tall Mountain. The Bob-omb Battlefield music plays.
N64
The course is a floating island with a large mountain, with plenty of ways to fall into the void. I did 3 times. Fortunately, if you go behind where you start, to the side of the mountain where the path becomes narrow, you'll find a 1-up. Going forward from where you started, there are two gaps you must long-jump across. The first one has a safety net, but the other does not, and you must land on a narrow ledge. After successfully executing a long-jump, release the joystick so you don't run off. Walk around the gap with mushrooms and Red Coins and you'll see several holes for Monty Moles. There are also ledges with more Red Coins. We climb up the ledges and then walk up the slope with three Goombas. At the end of the slope, tucked behind the rock wall, is another 1-up. We need to long-jump across the gap. It's a little easier if you get rid of the Goombas first. We pass a cloud with eyes that will blow our hat off if we don't keep moving. Next is an area with meshy vines that makes it difficult to jump. Then we go across a narrow bridge in front of the waterfall. After that, we walk up the slope to the mountain peak, where the Star is.
Star Get #90, 17 Coins, 6 Lives
Nintendo DS
After getting a 1-up in the corner, we long-jump across the two gaps (let go of the D-pad or Circle Pad after executing the jump). We climb up the ledges and killed the Goombas on the slope. We got the 1-up near the waterfall, and did not make it across. I landed in the water, and jumped down to where the Bob-omb Buddy was so he could open the cannon. I slid off to where I started. This time, we made the jump. The cloud is there, as well as the meshy vines. We walk across the narrow bridge to the peak, where the Star hovers.
