Star One, "In the Talons of the Big Bird": Notice that there are four pillars surrounding the pyramid. Go atop the pillar that is near the bird flying in the sky. This pillar is the one that you will encounter after you cross the black bridge/maze thing with those turning blocks. Once you are on top of the pillar, jump up to the bird, who is holding a star. 

Star Two, "Shining Atop the Pyramid": For this one, you must work your way up to the top of the pyramid. Go around to the back of the pyramid where the entrance ramp is, and simply follow the edge of the pyramid until you reach the top. It can be difficult because the walkway keeps getting thinner and thinner. 

Star Three, "Inside the Ancient Pyramid": Go around to the back of the pyramid where the entrance ramp is, and walk in the entrance of the pyramid. Once inside, work your way up to the top of the pyramid. This is pretty straightforward. At the top, there is a star. 

Star Four, "Stand Tall on the Four Pillars": Use the wing cap to fly to each of the four pillars. The wing cap is located in three places on the level, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. After standing on each of the four pillars, the top of the pyramid will open up, revealing a star. Fly to it, and get the star! 

Star Five, "Free Flying for Eight Red Coins": Mario's back to collect red coins. Four of the coins are obtained by getting the wing cap and flying near each of the four pillars. There is one on the black bridge/maze. Another is within a box that is located under the two-story black structure near the beginning of the level. Another can be obtained by running in the opposite direction when you start the level. The last one is located in the small lake near the pillar where you got the Big Bird star. 

Star Six, "Pyramid Puzzle": Go inside the pyramid, and make your way to the top. You will then see a waterfall of sand. Jump onto the three small platforms on either side of the waterfall, where there are coins. These are the first three "secrets". This waterfall leads into a river of sand where there is two more coins. Get them, and at the end of the river of sand, there is a star. 

Star Seven: Collect 100 Coins. Don't forget: Once you're in the pyramid you can't get out, so get all the coins from outside and then enter the pyramid to finish it off.
