Star One, "Chip off Whomp's Block": This
Star is a relatively simple one to get.
In order to get this star, you must
travel to the top of the mountain, where
there will be a huge whomp wall. Go in
front of him to make him try to smash
you, but quickly run out of the way.
While he's lying down, pound on his back
(Jump + Z Button). Do this three times
to get a star.
Star Two, "To the top of the fortress":
For this star, you must go to the top of
the fortress! The fortress is located on
top of the mountain, where you
previously battled the Whomp.
Star Three, "Shoot into the wild blue":
Before you can get this star, you must
get the cannon set up on this level.
This can be done by talking to the the
pink bob-omb that you will find near the
shallow water. After setting up the
cannon, hop into it, for it is right
next to the pink bob-omb. Aim it to the
left a little, where you will see a
platform with a pole extending from it.
Underneath this platform, there is
another platform, which is a little
smaller. Aim for this platform. Once you
are on this, you will see the star.
Star Four, "Red Coins on the Floating
Isle": Here we go again, collecting
eight red coins. They should not be hard
to find. As suggested by the name, a few
of the coins are located on the floating
island. This island can be reached by
going to the top of the mountain and
long-jumping (it's actually a series of
islands). Another star you may not see
is one that is above a blue whomp. When
climbing up a stairway, there is a whomp
on one of the steps. Go to the step
above him, and when he comes down, jump
on top of him. There is a coin up here.
The rest of the coins are pretty
straight forward.
Star Five, "Fall onto the caged island":
When you enter the level, you will be
standing near a tree. Climb this tree,
and suddenly an owl will pop out. Talk
to the owl, and then jump on to him. He
allows you to fly with him. Have him
guide you up into the air where there is
a suspended cage with a star inside. All
you have to do is fly over the cage, and
fall right in.
Star Six, "Blast Away the Wall": This
one is a rather difficult star for the
second level. Enter the only cannon on
this level. (See Star 3 for the
location). Turn it right, and you will
see two walls, with a spinning plank
between them. Aim for the upper corner
of the right-hand wall. Fire, and when
you hit, the wall will burst open
revealing a star. To get the star, go up
the mountain, and slide down the wall
where the star is.
Star Seven: Collect 100 Coins. Don't
forget about the blue stomp box!
