Wet-Dry World - Soaked Silver Stars

This mission is unique to the Nintendo DS.
We have to find Silver Stars at the different levels of the course. The water is at its normal level, so we step on the switch on the bridge to reach the white platform. A Silver Star is there and we raise the water level. Near the arrow lifts is another Silver Star on an orange checked platform. We drained the water to reach the Silver Star in an orange brick block. We backflipped from a brown platform floating in the water. We find another one under the curved ramp and raise the water level to its highest. We need to reach the cannon to get one high in the sky. Aim so that the Silver Star is near, but not quite at the bottom of what you can see and some of the white tube is visible. I accidently got the Top O' the Town Star when I tried to reach the water (I got the last one before the one in the brick block, so the Star hadn't appeared.
Take 2- I got the Silver Stars in this order: the one on the white platform, the one on the orange checked platform, the one under the ramp, the one in the first brick block when coming from the diamond, and the one in the sky. The Star appears in the Star Sphere on a high platform close to the arrow lifts. With the water level at its highest, backflip from a nearby brown platform floating in the water.
Star Get #111, 8 Coins, 8 Lives
The next Star is Scale the Mountain.

Wet-Dry World - Go to Town for Red Coins

N64
Now we find out why this level has a cannon. I died once because the flipping enemies caused me to take a lot of damage from falling.
Take 2- We need the water level as high as possible. I switched the water level to the 5th diamond's level. The cannon should be pointed at the opposite corner, to the grating we couldn't access. Once behind the grating, we swim down the channel. There are two grates partially blocking the channel. We must swim under the first one and over the second one. This leads us into the "town", which has several buildings. It also has diamonds that control the water level. The item block has a 1-up. The Red Coins are here. I drained the water level with the diamond under the entrance to make them easier to get. Some of them are in brick blocks. I found one on the roof of the steeple. There is another one in the box in front of the steeple and two on the walls in front of the steeple. There's one on the white building, one on the shorter white building, another in a brick on the brown building, and the last on the orange building. The Star appears in the alcove of the steeple.
Star Get #88, 39 Coins, 6 Lives

Nintendo DS
We raised the water level and used the cannon to reach the channel blocked by the grate. It took several attempts with the cannon, but I made it. We dive through the channel and wind up in the flooded "town". I got a 1-up on the platform with the Bob-omb Buddy. I got the first Red Coin on the roof of the steeple and drained the water with the diamond under the entrance. I got another one in a block on the roof of the large white building. The block on the brown roof of the adjacent white building has one as well. There are two in the blocks on the wall. In front of the the steeple is a block with another Red Coin. The two narrow building each have a Red Coin on their roofs. I wall jumped between them to reach the roofs. The Star appears in the alcove of the steeple.
Star Get #109, 25 Coins, 7 Lives
The next Star is Quick Race Through Downtown!

Wet-Dry World - Express Elevator -- Hurry Up!

N64
On the top level, we talk to the Bob-omb Buddy to open the cannon. This Star seems a little tricky. I drained the water, broke a block in front of the cage to reveal a hole, and made my way back up to the cage. In the cage is the Star. There's no Vanish Cap, so we need another way into the cage. Tbere is a ledge on the edge of the cage that faces the bridge. The ledge splits in half when you step on the edge not under the Star, and it drops away. Get off of the falling ledge, and go through the hole at the base of the cage and wait until the ledge comes within reach. Quickly wall-jump on it and it will take you up to the Star.
Star Get #87, 23 Coins, 6 Lives

Nintendo DS
I drained the water level and noticed that there isn't a block blocking the entrance to the cage. I climbed up to the cage, using the switch and a flipping enemy. I stepped on the ledge not under the Star and it fell. I walked off, went into the cage, and wall-jumped onto the ledge, which took me to the Star.
Star Get #108, 4 Coins, 6 Lives
The next Star is Go to Town for Red Coins.

Wet-Dry World - (5) Secrets in the Shallows and Sky

N64
It's time to find more secrets! This time, we aren't looking for particular coins. Moving certain objects will make the numbers appear. I also decided to get 100 Coins in this mission. I got the coins from item blocks, a Blue Coin Switch, water striders, brick blocks, and the purple enemy at the top of the level. (Pick him up and throw him for the coins.) I decided to work from the bottom of the course to the top, so I drained all the water using the diamond under the long ramp. Behind the tall platform where we found the Shocking Arrow Lifts! Star is a crate that we need to push to find the first secret. We need to push the crate so we can open the item block for the second secret. On the same level as the Blue Coin Switch, there is another crate in a hole in the wall. Pushing that crate deeper into the wall reveals the third secret. On the same level is a switch that makes stairs to the top of the cage. Above the cage is an item block with the 4th secret. The 5th secret is in the item block above the circular platform the Amp is circling. The platform is surrounded by coins. At this point, we have over 100 coins.
Star Get #85, 104 Coins, 4 Lives
The Star appears over the bridge.
Star Get #86, 104 Coins, 6 Lives

Nintendo DS
The secrets are in the same locations as in the N64 version. I got 100 coins in this mission as in the N64, but not using the coins from the purple enemy. On the top level where the purple enemy is, the Bob-omb Buddy that opens the cannon stands. We opened the cannon, as we will need it in future missions. As I got the 5th secret, I got 100 Coins.
Star Get #106, 100 Coins, 4 Lives
The Star appears on the bridge.
Star Get #107, 100 Coins, 6 Lives
The 5 in the parentheses in the title is because the number is included in the Nintendo DS mission title, but not in the N64 mission title.
The next Star is Express Elevator -- Hurry Up!

Wet-Dry World - Top O' the Town

N64
This Star is pretty easy to get. To the right of where you land, there is a very long curving ramp. We walk up it to reach a level made of stone. Nearby is a movable box. We push it so we can backflip onto a brick platform to reach a higher level. There is a purple enemy that will throw you around if you get too close. Floating above the level is a plank bridge that goes near the center of the course. There is an Amp buzzing around, so be careful. Past the bridge are a circular platform then a spinning, circular platform, followed by a higher floating platform. It has an item block with the Star.
Star Get #84, 6 Coins, 4 Lives

Nintendo DS
We walk up the ramp and backflip onto the stone platform near the box. We reach the higher level and walk across the plank bridge. We pass the two floating, circular platforms, one of which is spinning. On the high platform after the circular platforms is the Star, not in an item block.
Star Get #105, 2 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is 5 Secrets in the Shallows and Sky.

Wet-Dry World - Shocking Arrow Lifts!

This is the 11th course.
N64
We access this course via the painting of the water strider. How we enter determines the water level when we enter. Backflipping makes the water level very high. The Hazy Maze Cave music plays. Most of the level is made of stone. There are 5 multi-colored diamonds at various locations and heights that will change the water level. There are also several water striders. We climb on the floating platform and walk on the bridge with a switch. We step on the switch and it creates a path of floating platforms, which we can use to reach a nearby tall, white platform with a diamond. We use this to adjust the water level. We swim to the right to the floating platforms. I backflipped to the orange, checked platform and got on the arrow lifts. They will move in the directions indicated by their arrows. We take them to a very tall platform with an item block. Inside the item block is the Star. You must take the arrow lifts because you cannot hit the block while swimming.
Star Get #83, 5 Coins, 4 Lives

Nintendo DS
I adjusted the water level to that of the diamond on the tall, white platform. I swam to the floating platform and backflipped onto the higher orange, checked platform. I then long-jumped to the tall platform with the item block. The item block contains the Star.
Star Get #104, 5 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is Top O' the Town.
