WORLD 5 STAR COINS

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-1

1. Before the checkpoint and Item Box, you’ll see a round, green structure in the background (which is the top part of a large green obscured Koopa Shell). A little before it you’ll see a gap in the floor. Butt-stomp it to find the coin to the right, inside the green object.
2. Swim inside a large Green Koopa Shell to find this Star Coin.
3. Near the pipe leading to the end of the level, you’ll see a Green Turtle Shell embeded at the top of the wall. Use the vine to jump inside it. Once in the pipe, use the POW Block to get the Star Coin.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-2

1. Near the end of the first area, easily visible. Use a POW Block or Wiggler to get it.
2. Easily visible when underground. Bounce off the large Wiggler.
3. Leap to the roof after the section where you ride the large Wiggler. This leads to the third Star Coin.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-3

1. When you see the first star coin, go into the green pipe before it. Once you’re warped down, you’ll be able to get the Propeller Suit that will help you fly to the coin once above ground again.
2. Easily visible after the checkpoint. Use a Koops Shell to break the blocks to get the Star Coin.
3. Easily visible underneath some donut blocks. Let one of the two drop down, grab the coin and quickly wall-jump up to safety.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-GHOST HOUSE

1. Jump through the gap and head through the first door in the first room. Now go to the second room and you’ll find a hidden area in the rightside wall with the Star Coin.
2. Drop down the first gap you see from the first room. Then also drop down the second gap and go throug the door. You’ll be in a room of Bone Fish, and the Star Coin is just past the door on the other side of the room.
3. Also in the first room, enter the first gap, then jump the second and climb the stairs. Now drop into the gap beyond it, you’ll see two doors. Enter the right to find the Star Coin encircled by Boos.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-4

1. Use an Ice Flower to freeze the enemies dropping down around the first coin. Use the frozen enemies as a step up to higher ground and jump to grab it.
2. Hold onto the POW Block, you’ll need it to get this Star Coin. When you are below a spot that has two coins in a straight line, throw the POW Block to cause the Star Coin to drop onto the raft from above.
3. Located at the end of the level. Use a Bob-Omb to break the bricks above it, and drop down as the raft passes under you.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-FORTRESS

1. Located at the right side of a spiked shaft.
2. Right after the checkpoint, you’ll find the Star Coin on the left section of the shaft, which is exposed as the spiked wall recedes. Grab it quickly!
3. Directly to the right of the Boss Door inside the bricks. Time it right to break them and get the Star Coin.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-5

1. Visible between the clouds at the start of the level. Either jump to get it, or use the helicopter block you can get on a platform before it to fly to it.
2. Inside a lone cloud shortly after the checkpoint, Propeller into it.
3. Located above a group of coins that form a “W”. You must use a POW Block to make it fall.

COINS HIDDEN ON LEVEL 5-CASTLE

1. Visible floating above lava after the beginning of the level. Slide down the wall and avoid the lava to grab it. Or use the Propeller Suit to reach it.
2. On the upper left of the circulate grate is a hidden area with a door. The Star Coin is inside. Wait for the moving grate in the middle to come up. Climb it, while avoiding the lava, and them jump to grab it.
3. Easily visible after the checkpoint. Reach it via the highest point of the moving grate next to it.
