Areas[]
| Area ID | Name | Stars | Location | Acts | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Toyland Table | 7 | OW1, inside the castle. | Jumpy Humpy Blocks / Climbing Onto A Lava Hill / Secrets In The Holes / To The Top Of The House / 8 Plastic Coins / Beware The Lava Jump | |
| C2 | Blue Grass Garden | 7 | OW1, outside on top of the castle. | Super Duper Tower / The Secret Behind The Castle / Hexagonal Jumpings / Red Coins On The Floating Islands / Breathtaking Waterfall / To The Top Of The Castle | The second Star is located very close to/below the death barrier. When Mario collects it, it will still kick him out of the course and take away a life, but the game will count it as having gotten the Star even without the option to save. |
| C3 | Foresty Desert Space | 7 | OW1, inside the castle through a painting of a Star. | Inside The Bushes / To The Top Of The Two Fortress / Switch Of The Sandy Mountain / Red Coins In The Forest / Running At A Wind Blowing Path / Secret Of The Giant Bush | |
| C4 | City Planice Road | 7 | OW1, inside the castle. | Jumping On A Switch / To The Top Of The House / Secret Hidden Holes / Wall Jump On The Grills / Find The 8 Red Coins! / Behind The Wall | |
| C5 | Crazy LSD Dream | 7 | C4, through a rainbow pool. | Fight With The Whomp King / Roofs Of The Castle / To The Top Of The Castle / Secrets In The Middle Of Things / Below A Star Wall / Seek 8 Palm Trees! | |
| C6 | Graveyard Courtyard | 7 | OW2, in the grave. | Secrets Of The Pond / Burning Gravestone / Two Stones Secret / Getting The 8 Red Coins! / It's A Me, Owl! / Pond's Amp Tunnel! | |
| C7 | Bob-omb Battleshrooms | 7 | OW2, down through the chimney. | Wall Jumps On The Towers / Secret Hole On The Lake / The Lake Twist / Chuckya's Purple Cave / Red Coins On The Purple Lake / To The Top Of The Mushrooms | |
| C8 | Corals of the Deepsea | 7 | OW2, warp pipe right of the house. | The Endless Star / Big Island / Bustin Down The Pillars / Star Went Surfing With The Wall / Billabong Red Coins / The Ultimate Rock Tahiti | |
| C9 | Spiritual Jungle | 7 | OW2, warp pipe next to the 30 Star building. | Flying To The Tree / The Lake's Reward / Wood Jumping For A Star / 8 Jungle Coins / The Wiggler's House / Collect The Cap... | Act 2 requires Mario to collect the 5 Secrets. Use the Koopa shell to surf around on the burning lake until Mario surfs through them all- they are unmarked but mostly nearing the edge of the lake; there is one Secret just on the bank closest to Mario's strating point. |
| C10 | Ride in the Sky | 7 | OW2, behind the 30 Star door. | Growing Plant / Chill In The Towers / Flying With The Guys / Wingy Red Coins / Island Secrets / Into The Mountain | |
| C11 | Shy Guy's Cold Summit | 7 | OW3, through the snowy painting. | Floating Isle Above The House! / Arena's Mystery / Baby Needs His Mom! / Freezy Red Coin Mission / Hurry Up With The Box! / Listen To The Shy Guy | The final Star is down the side of the first island. |
| C12 | Volcano Fountain | 7 | OW3, through the painting of a Bully. | Fight With The Giant Bully / To The Tilted Plataform / Scary Switches / Red Coins On Red Pits / Secret Below The Box / 5 Secrets In The Lava Holes | For the final Star, 4 out of the 5 Secrets are located in the ring-shaped lava pool (use Koopa shell). The final Secret is in the adjacent lava pool, right where the red coin is. |
| C13 | Theme Park | 7 | OW3, the furthest away of the warp pipe trio. | Breaking The Law / Escaping Prison / To The Top Of The Cabin / Five Biny Bitty Secrets / Pachinko Time! / Secret Of The Pachinko | To see the locations of the Secrets for Star 4, see the Gallery. |
| C14 | Blue Temple | 7 | OW3, the right warp pipe in the trio. | Exploring The Castle / Shell Race / Grassy Spiral Mountain / Spacial Red Coins / Hidden Entrance / Pressing The Switch | That last red coin you're looking for is underneath the bridge connecting to the grassy spiral mountain. The others are on top of the spiral mountain; at the base of the long arrow walkway; up in the air above the lava pools in that castle; on top of one of that same castle's walls; in the grass near the purple switch; above a coin box round the side of the castle, and down near the Star's spawn point- needs a walljump to get.
The penultimate Star can be seen in the screenshots on this wiki (see Gallery)The final Star is under the level, partially hidden by one of the green pillars. |

There is a section near the end of the course where Mario needs to ride a Koopa shell across an incredibly thin lava path; if you are not a somewhat experienced kaizo player, use savestates to maintain your sanity. |
