The easier way requires that you have a power-up of some kind, so you can pass by the giant Urchin on the way down and back up, taking damage each time. There are theoretically two ways to reach the Star Coin below the giant Urchin. Enter the pipe, and you’ll see that another giant Urchin is blocking your way. Star Coin 3: After you collect the second Star Coin, you’ll pass by a few giant Urchins before you see one guarding a pipe. A trail of coins will appear and lead you below this platform, where a hidden P Switch will release coins and a Star Coin from above.


Star Coin 2: Just after the checkpoint, you’ll see a platform with a giant Porcupuffer on either side. You’ll find the first Star Coin drifting along the side of these pipes. Star Coin 1: Look for a collection of three pipes (red, then yellow, then red) pointing up and to the left.
