World 9-7

Coin 1

Simply hop up to this coin before the ice platform just below is melted away!

Coin 2

It's best to let the fire-spitting Piranha Plants below do the work here for you to grab the coin beneath the frozen walkway. We suggest standing on the section of walkway directly above the pipe, just left of the Star Coin. Wait here for the Piranha Plant, right of the coin, to melt the walkway just enough so that you can drop to the platform beneath the coin, allowing you to collect it. Now you must hurry up and get out of there and run across the remainder of the walkway before the other Piranhas melt it away!

Coin 3

The final Star Coin can be found between the two fire bros at the end of the level…and boy is it a doozy. There are a few ways to grab this coin. The absolute easiest way is to play with multiple people--once you reach it, have a fire bro spit a fireball across the icy blocks above the coin, then have one of the other plays drop onto it and bubble-up as soon as they grab it. If you're playing by yourself, you can try wall-jumping up the remainder of the ice shaft after grabbing it, but that can be very difficult. Here's a better method:

The absolute easiest way (if you're playing by yourself) is to get it is to equip both a Propeller Suit and a Star from the world map (also, be sure to save at this point so that if you fail, you can simply return to the title screen then reload the save file to try again, without having to re-acquire the items), then hightail it as fast as you can through the piranha plants while you're invincible. If you time your jumps right, you should be able to get to the long ice-platform just before becoming vulnerable. Now run along it and duck at the last minute to slide underneath the series of five piranha plants in the pipes above. Immediatly after, take to the sky using your propeller suit and drop onto the first fire bro from above. Do the same for the second, but only after he's spit at least one fire ball on the ice above the coin, creating a hole you can drop into. Once both fire bros are out of the picture, drop to the coin and Propeller Suit out of there!
