Star Coins[]
- Star Coin 1: The first Star Coin is found in a path under the main part of the level. The player needs to use one of the Gargantua Koopa Troopa's shells to clear a path to the coin, as groups of Brick Blocks are in the way.
- Star Coin 2: The second Star Coin is in a Warp Pipe a short way past the Checkpoint Flag. The room contains a P Switch that clears a row of Brick Blocks out of the way, allowing the player to Wall Jump to the Star Coin. Peachette can also be used to reach it.
- Star Coin 3: The third Star Coin is found next to the Goal Pole, reachable from a nearby Mega Block.
