Stars[]
Act 1: The Lonely Tower[]
Act 2:[]
Act 3:[]
Act 4: Parkour In The Corridors[]
This Star requires the player head into the carpeted hallway to the right of Mario's starting point, then wallkick their way down the right corridor. This involves navigating through the holes in the metal grate that is dividing the corridor down the middle.
After repeating this activity for a few corridors, Mario will be at the edge of the map, within sight of the Star. To reach it, the player must perform two consecutive crossover walljumps to land on the platform with the Star.
Act 5: BLJ Roofs[]
Act 6: Mysterious Flying Goombas[]
For this Star, head towards the doorway Mario is facing when he starts in the level. In this corridor, there is no floor and the opposite wall has been replaced with an S-shaped structure with quicksand along the top rim. Wallkick down the corridor by navigating along the S-shaped wall until Mario reaches the platform at the opposite end, where the player can rest for a moment.
Once at the other end of the corridor, the player is faced with a hallway missing large patches of its flooring, above which Goomba's can be found hanging around. To proceed, longjump forwards and bounce off of the first Goomba to land on the next safe platform. Then, repeat that with the next chasm, which has two Goomba's to bounce off of. After bouncing off of the second Goomba, Mario needs to quickly wallkick off of the diagonal wall; this action will pivot Mario to be perpendicular to the corridor walls.
While wallkicking between these two walls, the player needs to move Mario a bit further along the corridor, then upwards. The Star is on a ledge under the slanted roof here.
Coin Star[]
This course contains a blue coin switch, which can be found on the upper section of the course with spots of quicksand. Upon being pressed, four blue coins will spawn directly over the nearby pink spots of quicksand. To safely obtain them, the player can either perform a small jump and a kick in middair to maintain a low enough height to grab the coin and still clear the quicksand, or they can be perform a slidekick over the quicksand, which will allow Mario to safely bounce twice on quicksand without dying.
