World 3-Ghost House

Star Coin

The first Star Coin is hidden inside a secret alcove on the wall directly to the left of where you enter the Ghost House. Approach the wall to reveal the secret alcove.

Tip

The Boos in the Ghost Houses will take every opportunity they can to sneak up on you. As soon as you turn around, they’ll begin to approach you from behind, but if you face them, they’ll stop and cover their eyes,thinking they’re invisible.

Use their sneaky tendencies against them! Lure them into a position you want them to be in by turning your back to them, then face them when you want them to stop.

Don’t be fooled by the fake doors in Ghost Houses. Many of them are nothing more than decoys, but at least they’ll give you a coin!

The exit out of the first room is hidden inside a secret alcove in the top-right corner of the room. Approach the wall on the right and it’ll disappear, giving way to a new door!

There’s a secret area on the right, just after you pass through the door in Point 3. Explore the right wall and you’ll find that it reveals a small niche with several coins.

Star Coin

The second Star Coin is inside the left wall, after passing into the second area. Climb up the purple striped poles to Point 5, then leap from pole to pole until you’re on the pole on the far left. From there, jump left toward the wall to find the secret area.

If you don’t reach the Star Coin on your first jump, Wall-Jump off the wall on the left—inside the secret area—and grab the coin on the way up!

After passing through the second door, explore the left wall at Point 6 to find a Block with several coins.

Star Coin

Use the rope at Point 7 to cross the room to the right until you reach the yellow platforms. Drop down onto the first platform and ride it all the way to the right. Hop down to the next platform, then jump left to a small ledge. The ledge has a hidden door.

Go through it and you’ll end up on a platform that will start to lower. Boos surround you so quickly look side to side to keep them at bay until you can get to a wall. As the platform descends move from edge to edge so the Boos are gathered on one side of you, which makes them easier to avoid.

The platform will suddenly drop quickly, when it stops you can grab the Star Coin in the hidden area to the right but there are a lot of Boos to avoid. You can wait and grab the Star from the ? Block and then hop back for the Star Coin, but be quick!

When you hit bottom (after avoiding a Big Boo and other Boos) go through the door and exit the level. This will open the Cannon in the World 3 map!

Jump up to the secret ledge on the right to find a hidden door. Go through it to enter the next area. Stand at the center of the platform as it drops and rapidly turn left and right to keep the Boos from getting too close. If they do, dash to one side of the platform and lure them there. Turn to face them so they’ll stop moving, then dash to the opposite side of the ledge to keep them at a distance.

After the first sharp drop, hit the ? Block on the right and grab the Star. While under its effect, you’ll be invincible, so hit as many Boos as you can!

After grabbing the Star, edge to the far left of the platform to enter a secret section in the wall. When the platform drops sharply a second time, you’ll pick up dozens of coins on the way down!
