Star 1: chip Off Whomp's Block

When you enter the level, the game will tell you how to defeat those pesty pirahna plants you'll find in the game. Play close attention to what it has to say. Head to the right and you'll come across one of those sleeping pirahna plants I just mentioned. Read the sign, hopefully you can figure out how to kill it. You don't need to take this one down, but there will be more ahead. When standing near this pirahna plant, you'll see a path that runs up against a grey, brick wall, follow this path and make sure you don't get pushed over the side. Once you get across, head up the grey wall, avoiding the thwomps.

When you get to the top, you'll see one of the sleeping pirahna plants. Sneak up on it, and take it out. After taking out the plant, run across the grey bridge. It falls apart, so keep moving. Then walk across the wooden plank over to the spinning platform and get on. Walk towards the center to avoid being pushed off. Get off when its spun over to the other side. You'll encounter whomps on the other side. Just avoid them, you don't need to kill them. Once you pass all the whomps, you'll come to a moving platform. Jump on and let it take you to the top of the level. When you get there, run over to the giant whomp and talk to him. Now you get to fight him.

The whomp will attempt to jump on you and squash you. When he does this, run out of the way or between his legs. When he hits the ground, jump on his back and do a ground pound. That's Z in the air. Do this a total of three times to beat him. He'll say some stuff, including a terrible pun, and then give you the star. Grab it, and be on your way.

Star 2: To the Top of the Fortress

Head up to where you defeated whomp during the previous star. Once your there, you'll notice a slight diffrence. Theres a tower that wasn't there before. There will be some platforms that pull in and out of its sides, climb these platforms and head for the top. The final platform will move and take you the rest of the way. Once at the top you should see the star. Grab it, and move on.

Star 3: Shoot into the Wild Blue

The name says it all. Follow the path and up the grey wall like you've been doing. Instead of going towards the pirahna plant, though, run down the other side of the grey wall. Now run through the water and you'll see a red bomb-omb. Talk to him and open up the levels only cannon.

Once your in the cannon, the fun begins. Aim at the pole you should see in front of you. Now go down until you see UNDER the pole. Theres and area underneath the pole where there are 4 pillars holding up the ground. See the far back pillar, that's your target. Aim at the top platform, that the poles are holding up, and line up your aimer with the pillar your shooting at. Now fire. If you did it right, you hit the pillar and ended up on the platform. Now climb down the pole in the center and grab the star.

Star 4: Red Coins on the Floating Isle

Just like all the other levels, there are 8 red coins to collect for this star. Star by running up the path you followed in all the previous stars. The first coin is above one of thsoe walls that try to push you.

The second red coin is on top of the second thwomp up the stairs. Get on the stair above his, and then backflip on top of him while he's down.

The third red coin will be behind the sleeping pirahna plant ahead.

The fourth is along the thin walkway against the wall. Walk slowly towards it and keep against the wall to get the next red coin. Be careful, if you come off that walkway too quickly, the pirahna plant will wake up and attack. If you don't think you can do it, go back and take the other path.

The fifth red coin is on the spinning platform. Run towards the middle to dodge the grey wall like you did before. Instead of running of on the other side, though, stop at the end of the walkway and wait for it to spin you into the red coin.

The sixth red coin is below the moving platform. Move to the other side, solid ground, and look down to get your bearings. You might have to do this a few times.

The rest of the red coins are on floating isles. You can get to them from the tower. When you come up to the tower, turn right and there should be a giant board there. Jump up and kick it a few times until it falls over. Now go collect the coins on the isles.

The star will appear down at the start of the level.

Star 5: Fall onto the Caged Island

This star is pretty easy. Jump into the tree next to where you start. Climb to the top and an owl jumps out. Listen to what the owl has to say, now jump on and fly. Warning, he only flys for so long, so make sure you know where the cage is first. Its pretty easy to spot. Its just a floating cage with a star in it. Just let go of the owl when your over top of it and you're in.

Star 6: Blast away the Wall

To start, head up towards the cannon you used before. Once you get there, jump inside. Look to your right to where the spinning platform is. You should be facing one of the walls that sourrounds the black slope. Shoot to the upper cornor of that wall. Its the far wall. You will get hurt. Now go collect the star.
