Super Mario 64 Walkthrough: S-1 The Princesss Secret Slide
updated
This is the final star of the game, and after collecting it we're back to the ending screen.
1:09 Credits
Final thoughts:
Super Mario and the Cursed Castles is a pretty hack visually and the custom music is also very nice. The main highlight was the variety and the creativity of the levels which was the reason I choose to make videos of this hack. One of the best hacks in this aspect.
However, I felt there was little change in difficulty across the hack as the levels in the first castle were pretty much equally hard as the one in the last castle. Also I think there should be more variety in the things you have to do to get stars as the mechanic of "climb something and get a star" was pretty prevalente, and got a bit boring in the last few courses.
I'd recommend this hack to anyone looking for hone their jumping skills.
Overall score: 8/10

0:00 Location of the course
This course can only be reached from the purified overworld.
0:23 The White Spiral
You can get all the stars in any order, good luck (5/10).
1:09 Platforms in the Darkness
I don't know if the platform in 1:34 has an actual texture or is just the camera angle or something (5/10).
2:07 The Tower and the Small Platfomrs
We're halfway there (5/10).
2:57 Follow the Gray Arrows
I hope can wallkick (5/10).
3:50 The Black Castle
Just a little more... (5/10).
4:56 Black & White Climbing
The final star of te level and also the hardest one, I hope the previous jumping practice is enough to get this one (6/10).

0:00 Toad star
This one actually took me a few minutes to find, thanks camera angles.
1:04 King Boo
Same mechanic again, and like the previous two fights the actual challenge comes from reaching King Boo rather than fighting it (6/10). Be careful with the fifth coin as you can easily fell off.
4:15 Final Area
The floor has a texture which didn't load, but since we don't actually have all the stars in the hack, we'll be back later.

0:27 Top of the Galactic Guardpost
The custom enemies really caught me off-guard at first (4/10).
1:23 Seize Slomyalon's Shattered Spaceship
I'm pretty sure the top of the UFO should have some kind of texture but I think my video plugin didn't load it (4/10).
2:40 Marvel Atop Mount Markass
Keep climbing and get a star (4/10).
4:03 Across the Astral Archipielago
This is the final course, I think the asteroid climbing should be harder (4/10).
5:18 Floral Fall to Joba's Hold
Without the clue in the star name, you'd either be looking everywhere or just find the entrance by chance, like me (4/10).
6:26 Throne Room's Aquatic Red Coins
From all kinds of challenges that you could put in a level called "Celestial Citadel" I'd never guess a building full of water (4/10).
8:21 100 Coin Star
The final course star of the game, just keep looking around (4/10).

0:28 Shlotz's Shimmering Shelf Surprise
I've bashed the abuse of climbing stars in this hack but this level makes them interesting because the jump to make might not be obvious at first glance (5/10).
1:46 The World Beyond the Television
Although this is also a climbing star, the creativity makes up for it (4/10).
2:51 Dazzling Desk Decoration
We already passed here while going for the first star (4/10).
3:37 Ascend the Oversized Armory
Maybe we could use a second climbing route to add a bit of variety to this course (4/10).
4:37 Can't -Handle- the Secret Star
I actually spend too much time jumping to the door handle from a high place until I found the Game Cube handle secret, pretty nice move (5/10).
5:35 Introduction to Myrmecology
I recall getting stuck while going for this star, don't remember where exactly (4/10).
6:28 100 Coin Star
Get all coins from the floor level first, then the rest will be in the climbing route (4/10).

Just some jumps to get another star (3/10).
1:15 Climb the Collosus
More climbing action! (4/10).
2:17 Vault Up the Volcano
3rd climbing star in a row (3/10).
3:15 Into the Heart of the Volcano
The rising lava is a very nice touch for this star (5/10).
4:10 Spiral Staircase Surprise
A bit of a challenge, but still a easy climbing star (4/10).
5:20 Looting the shattered stronghold
Thankfully the inclined platforms didn't make the jumping a lot harder (4/10).
6:45 100 Coin Star
This is the hardest star of the course, as the coins are pretty far apart, so you need to backtrack a little bit (5/10).

What just happened? (4/10).

A couple of tricky jumps and this star is yours (4/10).
2:41 Luminous Lantern Leaping
A bit harder version of the previous star(4/10).
4:29 Scale the Stump
Another climb something and get the star (3/10).
5:38 Wild Ride Down Sycamore Slide
You also can't have a SM64 hack without a slide, this one is harder than the ones in the original game (5/10).
7:48 Fungal Foray for 8 Red Coins
Another bunch of long jumps to get the red coins (3/10).
8:46 100 Coin Star
The coins are well distributed among the treetops just keep killing Piranha Plants and enemies to get the coins (4/10).

0:35 Frolic Across Fractured Floorboards
A bunch of long jumps for the red coins (3/10).
1:52 -Reflect- on the Suspended Staircase
Good to see the mirror mechanic actually being used, but the depth perception makes this star harder (5/10).
2:53 Peruse the Purple Parlour
Not much to say about this one (3/10).
3:47 Browse the Behemoth Bookcase
You can't have a haunted mansion without haunted books (5/10).
4:57 Ascend the Abyssal Architecture
A throwback to Super Mario Galaxy? The climb is not as hard even with the inclined platforms (4/10).
6:00 Boo's Porous Portraits
As we don't have a vanish cap the portraits are now fake walls and I get to the final portrait from the other side to save some time. No idea who are the dudes in the first two pictures (4/10).
8:05 100 Coin Star
The haunted books make a good source of coins (4/10).

0:00 Toad Star
0:56 King Boo
The mechanics are the same as the previous fight, the actual challenge comes from the platforming , also the coins are harder to find (7/10).

0:24 Sandy Stronghold's Surprise
As you expect, climb the tallest building and get a star. Also a weird design decision to use a metal block than a platform to climb to the town (3/10).
1:38 Rumble in the Raging Ravine
The wind did more for the King Bob-Omb fight than for Eyerok. The final climb is easy once you figure which jumps to make. Also, I don't know if the water texture is glitched or this is the clearest water ever in a SM64 hack (4/10).
3:51 Carefully Up the Chasm's Crags
Another hidden area in the chasm (3/10).
5:13 Hocus Pocus: Climb with Focus
The hardest climb so far in the hack (5/10).
6:16 Face Your Fear of Heights
I'm pretty sure Mario doesn't fear heights (3/10).
7:29 Collect the Crate Coins
There's little space to get the jumps right so it might take severa attempts (4/10).
8:58 100 Coin Star
Finally a quick 100 coin star, most coins are in the central area (/10).

0:23 On the Throne Room's Mantel
This climb is tricky due slippery floor (4/10).
1:14 Stalagmite Fright
More slippery jumps, but I managed to cut most of them with a couple of lava boosts (4/10).
2:20 Arctic Ascent
I didn't try to get this from the palace, it might be possible (3/10).
3:16 Royal Coin Roundup
The palace seems a lot bigger in the inside. Also, sorry for the glitchy textures, I don't know what happened with my video plugin. The 7th coin is on a very rare slop, using the backward jump was the easiest way to get it (4/10).
5:33 Shivery Submersion
One of the hardest stars so far, keep calm while underwater, it's better to take a moment to get better angles while swimming than get stuck and drown, keep an eye on your health and use the heart to recover (5/10).
7:59 Boreal Battle
Just the usual King Whomp fight, the dialog is unchanged from the original game, I think (2/10).
9:13 100 Coin Star
About half of the coins are outside the palace, so you'll need to walk in the entire level to get the coins (4/10).

0:21 Traverse the Big Block Bridge
A warm up to hone your jumping skills (3/10).
1:32 A Leap to the Low-Lying Ledge
The hidden star of the level, but it can be seen from the other side of the course (3/10).
2:18 Sparkling Above the Sanctuary
More jumping practice (3/10).
3:26 The Spire in the Sky
This structure is a bit harder to climb compared to the previous one (4/10).
4:43 The Offering at the Aerial Altar
The easiest star of the course so far (2/10).
5:22 Red Coins in the Park Afloat
We've missed having all the coins in a single place , be careful with your jumps because it's easy to fall (3/10).
6:57 100 Coin Star
Most coins are in the Sanctuary and the Spire area (3/10).

0:30 Scale the Scaffolding
The wooden structure climbing is a bit trickier than it seems (4/10).
2:08 Take Flight From a Great Height
The blue building climb was boring (2/10).
3:21 Up the Two Towers
I can't believe how the building openings made the walkicks a lot easier, specially for less experienced players, pretty nice (3/10).
4:08 A Sign of the Times
Climb something, get as star! Again! (3/10).
5:13 Downtown Dust-Up
The wind makes the fight a lot harder, jumping to get on the back of King Bob-Omb is not a good idea, so I went for the usual walking strategy (5/10).
7:11 Collecting the Loose Challenge
The hardest part was actually routing the coins so the video doesn't take too much time (4/10).
10:03 100 Coin Star
The coins are still pretty far away from each other (4/10).

0:24 Spiral Up the Winding Watchtower
This level might be a bit confusing at first, but once you get used to the jumps it gets easier, (3/10).
1:32 Secret Bloom of the Gloomshroom Tomb
First time I've seen the five Boo thing going on in a hack, pretty nice. (4/10).
3:55 Pierce Through the Raging Rapids
Finding the star is the actual challenge (3/10).
4:50 Wallkicks Still Work
If you play a lot of SM64 hacks, a few wallkicks aren't a challenge anymore (3/10).
5:52 Fixed Above the Fungal Fortress
Another "climb something - get a star" (3/10).
6:56 Foraging for Red Coins
I like how the coins were hidden in this level, you won't run onto them by chance, but you can find them by just searching a little (4/10).
9:50 100 Coin Star
You'll likely get this star along the 8 red one because coins are pretty far away from each other (3/10).

0:11 Vault up Perilous Pillars
Always use "lava" boosts to your advantage. (2/10).
1:02 Sandy Summit's Secret
Same as previous star, but with more long jumps (2/10).
2:03 Up the Colorful Coral
Another easy platform star (2/10).
2:58 Shifty Shell Skipping
I'd make the shells move like the lava platforms in Bowser in the Fire Sea, just for a bit of a challenge (3/10).
3:54 Tilted Tower's Treasure
You can also make your way through the corals and long jump to the tower (3/10).
5:16 Seek the 8 Red Coins
Time your jumps, it's a long way back up if you miss (2/10).
7:37 100 Coin Star
A bit more difficult than previous coin stars due coins being pretty far away from each other, and the drawing distance doesn't help (3/10).

0:00 Location of the course
0:14 Dilapidated Docks
The long jumps are always weird when jumping an angled platform (2/10).
1:02 Tippy Top Tower
Just keep an eye in the fire and the camera angle (3/10).
2:09 Hop to the Top
Almost the same as the previous star (3/10).
3:01 Pop Up the Pillars
Sometimes long jumps just don't gain enough height (2/10).
3:45 Big Bully Beatdown
Thankfully the Big Bully was in the middle, otherwise you'll have to deal with the other bullies and the kuromames (3/10).
4:38 Riding for 8 Reds
Probably the hardest star of the level due how easy is to crash against all the pillars and platforms, also, it's easy to get lost because the level looks pretty much the same in all directions (4/10).
5:53 100 Coin Star
Dont' bother with the builles, they don't throw their coin high enough to get them (3/10).

0:21 Inspect the Luminous Lighthouse
Just avoid the flames and the shy guys (2/10).
1:18 Waiting Above the Watertowers
A bit hidden depending on the camera angle if you don't use the first person view (2/10).
2:05 Cargo Shelf Climb
Time your jumps to avoid landing on a Heave-Ho, but as you can see its hitbox is a bit weird (3/10).
2:54 High Above the Harbour
Another easy star (2/10).
3:40 Big Bell's Bounty
Again the box climb is the most difficult part, but still easy overall (2/10).
4:33 Harbor Home Hopping for 8 Red Coins
All coins are along the way (1/10).
5:54 100 Coin Star
You know that a stage is easy when almost half of the video is the 100 coin star (2/10).

0:22 Beyond the Broken Bridge
I think a long jump is not enough to cross the gap, so I made a triple jump (3/10).
1:32 Top of the Temple
It just requires a little creativity to start the climb, after that it's pretty straightforward (2/10).
2:21 Ancient Ascension
The snifts can be annoying if you're not careful, so you can kill them or just move fast (3/10).
3:21 Sunken Swamp's Secret
The easiest star so far in the hack (1/10).
3:58 Pillar Hopping
You can always wait a little in order to avoid the fire (2/10).
4:43 8 Ancient Coins
I'll be honest, I got lost in my practice file because the level looks the same everywhere (2/10).
6:15 100 Coin Star
The blue coin timer is pretty generous, so take your time to get all coins (2/10).

Fist, we are presented with a Tetris themed stage, so expect lots of block climbing. There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Introduction
0:28 Location of the course
1:29 Clear Trough the Block Maze
The flowers across the level and the transparent block in the Star 1 can be displayed incorrectly due graphic plugin issues (2/10).
2:33 Traverse the Tumbling Tetriminos
The box climbing was the most difficult part, it would be cool if some tetriminos would appear instead of regular boxes. You can't slip on the blocks, so just keep jumping (3/10),
3:35 Twisting Atop T-spin Tower
I've never completed a line with a T-spin in my life (2/10).
4:43 A Hard Drop from a L-Block
First hidden star, you can see it easily from first-person view (1/10).
5:28 8 Floral Red Coins
I tried all graphic plugins in my system, they either screwed up the transparent blocks or the flowers, this was the setup which caused the least amount of graphic issues (2/10).
7:36 Five Cryptic Caves
This stars seems a bit random to me, but it's the first level so I guess you can't put difficult tetrimino climbing so early in the game (2/10).
9:19 100 Coin Star
There are plenty of coins even if you miss some of the blue ones (2/10).

Final thoughts:
Due real life I couldn't finish this hack as fast as I wished, but I managed to get some time and play a little more in order to complete it. I hope I can be more regular with the uploads but can't make any promises.
Because of this extended period of time I don't remember the first half of the hack very well, but overall, this was quite fun to play, the difficulty cure is steeper than in other hacks but still doable for mid to experienced players, or maybe I'm still quite rusty from not playing like in a year, but wallkicks and precision long jumps and triple jumps in small platforms will always have a certain degree of difficulty.
Pieordie1 has a lot of experience making songs for the SM64 community so it's not a surprise that this hack has awesome music that fits all moments in the hack, many songs came from Crash, Rayman or Touhou games, I didn't play these games so I didn't get many references made in this hack.
On the other side I'm a Kirby fan, so it's always great to see music from these games used, specially from Kirby Triple Deluxe, Queen Sectonia themes are my favorite final boss music ever, and all songs from the battle are present in the hack. For those who didn't know "Sullied Grace" is heard during the introduction of the Star Whomp battle, "Moonstruck Blossom" is the theme of Moonstruck Village of course, and "The World To Win" is the sequence played during the escape phase after beating the final boss. I left Miracle Matter's battle theme from Kirby 64 for this video, which is used as the miniboss theme in this hack. There are other songs used in the hack which you can catch in the video.
About the levels, I appreciate the effort put in this hack and I'm specially impressed in some of the ideas used for the courses, like the Tidal Township and Harmonic Hotel. A very nice change from the tons of lave shown in Shining stars 1 and 2. My favorite levels overall were Harmonic Hotel and Heavenly Ascent and the ones that didn't catch my eye like the lot were Crysal Sewers due that climb which is pretty much needed for all the stars of the course and Tsuki Mansion because somehow, I always got lost in that course.
Now for the things I feel can be improved, there some areas of the courses were underused and others were overused, for example, in Course 13, the Temperature Tower has most stars and there's nothing outside of the temple, maybe the frozen lake could be used for a star. Another thing I'd loved to see is custom enemies, the second half of the level is abusing Chukyas, Kuromames and Amps mostly so it got old very quickly, but this also has some great moments with regular enemies like the Skeeter Cave in Course 14.
Another thing I always like in hacks is that levels are open to exploration and you can get stars by just looking everywhere instead of just hiding stars in impossible places, or where all stars are just climb something and get a star. Also marking secret spots with green stars and warps with some sparks help a lot. I also know that I played the latest version of the hack which have some small tweaks which really made it less tedious and more fun to play.
Overall the hack was fun to play but I wouldn't reccomend it to newcomers due the steep difficulty curve, players which aren't used to wallkicks and hard jumps will struggle and get frustrated a lot in later levels, and the first levels would overwhelm them due sheer size.
Anyways, the future will bring new things to this saga, currently Pieordie1 is working in a remake of Shining Stars 1 which looks great and I think will also serve as a prequel to the fourth installment of the Shining Stars series, which will continue the story of the Time Machine presented in this hack. I will keep an eye on these games and make their walkthroughs in the future (I hope).
Final score: 8/10.

This level has 2 stars and the final boss:
0:00 Location of the level.
1:43 Under the platform 7/10
The first star is clearly visible from the start, but there is no way to get it immediately (I tried everything, trust me), so we just continue through the level. The first tricky section is the corridor with red platforms, you can walk over the ones which have a yellow glow, the other ones are quicksand, then a couple of horizontal wallkick sections and finally a bunch of platforms and a shell which is placed all the way up from the platform, just navigate down and get the star.
4:04 Silver Coins 9/10
The hardest star of this hack, this time you will need all 8 coins to get a star, and some of them are very tricky to grab, or are just a deathtrap. So, first we get a sneaky coin right behind us in the start of the level, the third coin is after another corridor with red platforms, but these one are actually lava so just do some long jumps to get the coin. About the fourth one, I'm not entirely sure if this is the intended way to get it, since the blue walls are also quicksand and it's easy to get stuck into it if your jump is too low, but if it is too high, you won't collect the coin. The seventh one is in the horizontal wallkick section, if you're not used to control your height you'll struggle to get this coin. Finally, be careful with your jumping to get the star, if you miss the platform, you'll need to cross most of the level again to get another chance to grab it.
7:34 Space Slide 5/10
Like with the silver coin star, don't miss the platform with the Vanish Cap, after it go through the electrical gate to the final part of the course, a quite difficult slide, specially at the start, thankfully, if you die in this section, you won't be kicked out from the level, instead you'll be sent into a small death level (like other hacks), and you'll be sent back to the start of the slide, just grab the Ultra Shroom and try again.
8:17 Final Boss: Star Whomp 8/10
Now we're ready to face Bowser, but this time he's replaced with Star Whomp, who bought the Orbs in order to build his Time Machine, and he was our Bob-Omb Buddy that has been ahead of us the entire game (nobody saw that coming, right?). Anyways, this is the hardest version of the King Whomp fight I've ever played, you can only stand on the blue sections of the platform, because a third of the stage is lava, the ice third is quicksand and the other third has nothing but a bottomless pit, so the only way to make our way to the Whomp is by pressing the ! Switch and then running towards the boss and ground pound like normal, but this time you need to be careful of not sliding off and also be aware of the timer. Good Luck!
At the end, the fight with Star Whomp make the entire sanctuary go nuts so we must escape before it gets destroyed with us inside. Make your way through the platforms and finally have an infinite party!

This level has 2 stars and a switch:
0:00 Location of the level.
0:34 Awkard Jumps in the Orbs 4/10
You will notice this star from afar, but the problem is searching for an angle in order to do some jumps and get to the next orb, it's harder than it seems.
1:51Silver Coins 3/10
All coins are in your way, so just use the note blocks to get them.
3:25 The Orb of Sky 4/10
After getting the silver coins, we get into a very random timed mission, and, like other levels, there are more silver coins than needed, so don't bother with the problematic ones. Now after pressing the last switch, we're ready to get for the final level.

If you want to avoid the wallkicks, you can also get to the green section from the blue section (see next star).

Not too much to say about this one, the hardest part is not getting lost in the blue section.

There are 7 stars in this course:

0:30 Cash that Star, how 'bout that? 5/10
Just a wallkick warm-up before exploring this level. Remember to use ground pounds to control where Mario is landing.
1:49 Koopa the Slow? 5/10
Koopa the Slow will take some time to get to the goal, so just avoid dropping off from the platforms.
4:35 Coins Amassed in a Maze Pt.2 6/10
Pretty much the same as the star in Rainbow Ride, but will 1000% more wallkicks.
6:35 Green Stars on the Giant Flowers 4/10
Probably the easiest star of the level (with the exception of the 90 coin star), but it's a long way up if you fall from the flowers. You can also use the note blocks to reach the second floor of the central structure.
9:02 Tricky Triple Trial on the Top 8/10
The hardest star of this hack, this will test all kind of jumps, from switching platforms, triple and long jumps avoiding enemies, horizontal wallkicks and precision jumps.
11:06 Even More Flowered Fun! 5/10
A bit hidden, but we can abuse the rocks and the sides of the rooms to reach the star easily.
12:52 90 coin star 4/10
With Whomps, Piranha Plants and 10 coin boxes, you'll get the coins quickly.

0:28 Mystical Maze of A-Maze-Ment 6/10
Mazes in SM64 hacks are often difficult due bad camera, it's not really the case here, it's difficult because you need some wallkicks to clear the pits. The correct way is markded by the blue flame.
2:07 Spider Cave in the Maze 6/10
The second and last star of the maze, be careful with your long jumps, maybe is the fog but I miscalculated the distance between platforms more than once.
4:04 Just Checking Inn 4/10
I really didn't enjoy the stairs, why put the high steps instead of regular stairs, it just makes going upwards more annoying than harder.
6:01 Drop Inn for a Secret 3/10
A reward for those who explore everything on a level.
8:04 Get in the Shaft 4/10
A hidden star, you'll never notice the highest floor of the hotel unless you're pecifically looking for it. In my practice file I actually went all the way down first because I didn't see the star due bad camera angle.
9:32 Secret Tea Time Party! 3/10
The boos are having a good time without us, so let's crash their party!
10:48 90 coin star 5/10
Just a quick detour to the maze to grab some coins, everything else will be inside of the building.

There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Location of the course.
0:29 A Flower's Revenge 4/10
The flower returns and this time it has a new trick, everytime it changes direction on the center, it will sink a little and if you're standing on the parts in which the center connects to the petals, you'll die to the quicksand. Otherwise, if you stay quiet, you'll dodge most of the dangers.
3:58 Lamplit Path 5/10
Starting on this star, the amount of jumping skill will start to increase in this hack, a horizontal wallkick is needed to clear that pit and once you reach the cave, just play with the camera a litte to find your way across the dark cave.
5:32 Serene Structure in Dark Space 5/10
Another star for jump practice.
7:26 Top of the Temperate Tower 5/10
Pretty much the same as the previous one, maybe this or the previous one should be change with a star outside of the temple.
9:10 Frozen Mystery Box Challenge 5/10
The same climb again, but this time is timed and a few enemies makes this a little bit more annoying.
10:19 Planetary Plight 4/10
Probably, the easiest star of the course, maybe using the ice theme would be better for the room because it feels out of place. Again, you only need six of the eight coins to get the star.
12:53 90 coin star 5/10
Chukyas will be your main source of coins.

There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Location of the course.
0:09 Do It for the Vine 5/10
Exploring this level is harder than it seems, tons of different jumps are needed to go from one platform to the next and don't get overconfident if there's a Thwomp nearby, their hitboxes and slopes are a bit weird, so you can die easily.
1:43 Scary 'Shrooms. Secret Sparkles 6/10
A bit more jumping is needed, compared to the first star, difficulty is a little higher due more platforms and the backtrack, where you can easily die. And remember to say no to the #LavaBouncingChallenge.
4:29 Fall From Grace 3/10
Ironic, it's easier to navigate Hell than Heaven, there are a couple more silver coins around, but only six are needed.
7:03 Eternal Path of Flames 4/10
The hardest part is actually hitting the second heart, if you fail, you won't have enough health to get to the star.
8:21 Heavens? Mystery Box 6/10
Another climb and we get onto the timed challenge of the course, go fast on this one and you won't need to worry about the Kuromames.
9:35 A Short Flight? 4/10 (6/10 on the intended way)
The actual wing cap is in the top of the level but this one is easier to get, but you'll need to be a bit more creative on finding a way to increase your height enough to get the star. I think it's possible to get this one with wallkicks, but didn't try it.
11:33 90 coin star 6/10
Probably the third, fifth or sixth star are the best ones to get the star, since you'll need to climb most of the level, I did it on the third one for a bit of extra coins at the start of the level and used the wing cap to save some time.

There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Location of the course.
0:08 Swimming with Stars 4/10
This is quite a contender for the worst camera usage in SM64 hacking, the L button helps a lot but it's still very hard to navigate, I actually drowned on my practice.
2:16 Mind your Manors 3/10
A bit of exploring will get you here, also the manor is just for the looks you won't be going inside.
3:58 Above the Bottomless Pit 3/10 (5/10 if you're going the intended way)
Thankfully you can use a long or a triple jump to get this star, otherwise you will need to keep going until you find the Wing Cap and then use it to fly to the star, and believe me, you don't want to do that, because, unless I missed something, camera controls are awful while flying.
5:00 Green Stars in the Mist 4/10
The second one is a bit hidden but you'll get it after searching for a while, I get the shell at the end because is faster and safer, but you can get the final green star and the actual star with some jumps.
7:33 Lets Talk About Parallel Universes 6/10
You're going to need more than half an A press to get his one. Memes aside, don't use the Mario camera inside the parallel universe. Navigating this place requires some precise jumps, otherwise you'll end on the bottomless pit or in the quicksand. There's another portal to this area next to the manor, both lead to the same place, so use the one you like the most.
9:41 Battle against a true Ghost 6/10
You can make the fight easier if you use the note blocks to jump to the arch top and just ground pound the Big Boo.
11:45 90 coin star 4/10
Pretty much the same as the green stars one, but this time just collect every coin you see.

There are 7 stars in this course:

0:54 Dense Fog Today 3/10
This sub-area doesn't fill that much in the level, when I explored this level initially, I tought that you'd drain the water somehow and use the sparks as a warp.
2:47 Inside the Ruins 4/10
Remember to use the lava to your advantage, there are a couple of tricky jumps but nothing too hard.
4:07 Slip N' Slip Sandy Fun 4/10
Pretty much the same as the previous star, just make sure to have spare health if you get hit by the fire in the final wallkick.
5:32 Green Stars Inside the Ruins 5/10
Another star "inside" the ruins, I'd put another star in the general desert area instead of this one, not very interesting.
6:55 Parched Mystery Box 3/10
Almost all remaining courses will have a timed challenge, despite the fog it's not really that hard to see where you're going.
7:44 Catch a Flying Star 2/10
The hardest part is figuring out how to get to the wing cap.
8:38 90 coin star 2/10
With 10 coin boxes, paper Pokeys and several groups of 8 coins you don't even need to go to the ruins to get 90 coins.

This level has 2 stars:

0:43 Green Stars 4/10
All the green stars are on the same room, we'll do this one first because it will kick us out from the level after obtaining it.
2:02 Silver Coins 4/10
Make sure to get all the coins before going into the sand blocks, there's no way to go back after they disappear.
3:41 Path to the boss
6:02 Boss: Big Bully Brigade 6/10
I don't know if my game glitched the position fire spitting orbs in the flower ride or they're intended to be like that, since I didn't need to dodge them. About the boss fight, if you watch the video carefully, you'll notice that there's one box which doesn't seem to spawn a Big Bully, but it actually takes a bit of time, and you'll notice it thanks to the jingle. If you defeat this one, you'll finish the fight, beating the other ones will not do anything.

5 stars are featured:
0:00 A wallkicking Toad 3/10
A Bob-Omb outside from the second sanctuary hints this one.
1:11 #LavaBouncingChallenge 3/10
After a bit of time on the internet you might wonder if this will be a thing someday...
Speaking of the star properly, you can actually hit the wall while bouncing, and you can also get into the cave without a slide kick. The other box has a shell.
1:49 Another soaked bunny 0/10
MIPS appears again after obtaining 50 stars.
2:21 Totally Real Funtimes! 4/10
After a one life entry fee we got into a little game, one box has a star and the other ones can have eihter a Chukya, a Bob-Omb or a simple butterfly, keep breaking boxes until you get the star. If you hit a box with a Chukya, kill it ASAP, if you let too many of them run wild, things can get ugly pretty quickly. The warp only exists on the most recent version of the game, otherwise you'll need to do some wallkicking in the lamp next to the building.
4:02 A Rap Battle 1/10
Toad No. 72 will challenge you to "spit bars" but he doesn't know what Mario can do. This Toad appears after you get 80 stars, but since we didn't reset the level after getting the MIPS star, we had to go into any level and exit so it can load properly.

There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Location of the course
0:31 Rooftop Run 2/10
You can also get this star by jumping from a higher building.
2:08 Are you doing...Well...Today? 2/10
Just a bit of exploration, not too much to say.
4:02 5 Speed Trials 5/10
I found this room by accident because I didn't see the high platform next to the door, otherwise this would be a bit hard do find.
5:32 Run Away! 5/10
The tsunami is about to hit the town, race as fast as you can to the top! When using the note block be careful of not hitting the roofs of the upper levels of the building.
7:10 Aftermath 4/10
Mario explores the remains of what once was a beautiful town and encounters a certain somebody...
9:16 A Hidden Washed Up Star 3/10
You can see the sparks of the star from distance, so it's not very hard to find.
10:14 90 coin star 2/10
You can only collect this star in the first four missions, there aren't enouugh coins in the ruined city to get 90. Since star 3 and 4 are timed, stars 1 and 2 are the best option, and, since you need to explore most of the level, the second star seems to be the best for this.

There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Location of the course
0:20 Storm on the Summit 4/10
Just climb to the top to get the star, the box in the back has 10 coins.
2:05 Sinking Stars 4/10
If you observe carefully the stars, you'll notice that most of them are rotated and only one is facing the right way, that star is the correct one, the other ones are troll stars and will kick you outside of the level without increasing your star counter. The way I get to the warp is easier than the intended way which is taking a right turn when you enter to the volcano cave (2:35), descending a few platforms to get a shell and then ride it back to the warp.
3:17 That Green Star Fire Tho 3/10
The other box in the area also has a shell, so you can afford to make a mistake and still get the star (if you don't die to lava).
4:26 Up and Down on that Lava 4/10
Pretty much the same as the first star.
6:04 Hit the Switch from the Back 2/10
The location of the star was spoiled by my graphic plugin, I think. Not much to say about this one, I climb a little on the volcano because is faster than swimming.
8:15 Mystery Box Shenan-Again! 4/10
Another timed challenge, be careful with the direction of your jumps, you can only do two lava jumps before diying but if you spin the heart fast enouugh you might be able to do a third one.
9:49 90 coin star 5/10
Most coins are in the climbing path so the first or fourth stars are the best ones for coin collecting, there are a lot of Chukyas and there's also the blue switch in your way up.

There are 7 stars in this course:
0:00 Location of the course
0:24 Drop the Bully's Mixtape 7/10
This miniboss is very hard, you need to drop it several levels while avoiding the small bullies, Kuromames and even fall damage, and the camera doesn't help either. Remember to switch onto Lakitu camera if you're having camera issues while wallkicking.
2:46 Sky Pie View 5/10
The slopes are harder to climb that they seem, triple jumps are the way to go, don't bother with jump kicks, the slopes are too steep.
4:32 Cook Those Pies! 4/10
Be careful with the slopes and the climb for the second pie, it's easy to fall to the lava below and lose a life.
6:30 Fire Mystery Box! 5/10
This star features the first timed mission, if you fail to get the star on time you'll lose a life and will be kicked back outside of the mystery box. The yellow pillars are actually spotlights and their insides are out-of-bounds, so, if you touch them they will kill you instantly. The inside of the box challenge isn't very hard.
8:29 Searchlight Sneak! 4/10
This star also features the spotlights, but they're easy to dodge.
10:16 They Spittin' Hot Fire 4/10
A single long jump is a lot easier then the intended way which is jumping from one platform into the other below.
12:00 90 coin star 5/10
Probably you want to collect this one during the second star route, since it requires a little detour to get a few extra coins and you'll pass next to the blue coin switch.

You can actually jump off from the train in the section where you start, but you'll die due "railroad quicksand".
This level features 3 stars:
0:00 Location of the level
0:47 Silver Coins (1/10)
There are 8 silver coins but you only need 6 to get the star. I think the second silver coins was intended to be collected with the vanish cap but thanks to the weird hitboxes, we just need a jump.
2:54 Green Stars (2/10)
Be careful with the power star on the yellow room if you're going for the green star, I accidentally got it after jumping from the bed in my practice file.
4:01 Star in the yellow room (1/10)
This should be kept as a troll star.

I honestly don't know how to feel about this level, most stars were a quite hard to find, the navigation was a bit awkward and I must admit I still got lost in this level. I know there are a lot more coins in this level but somehow I struggled to get the 90 coins.

This star is a bit hard to figure out, the coin arrow doesn't show unless you're pretty near to it, an then you must look for the vanish cap. I think the actual puzzle in the room was the easiest part of the misison.
On another side note I could see the star before it actually appeared, I think it's another video plugin shenanigan.

Just a couple of tricky jumps and this star is yours. You can also jump to each blue roof if you won't want to backtrack to the note block.
On a side note, the blocks are supposed to turn yellow after you step on them (like in Super Mario Galaxy, I don't remember if they also turn green), but my video plugin didn't want to cooperate. In fact, I tested several plugins but all of them have problems, the ones which show the switch correctly can't do the dissolve effect when Mario uses the vanish cap or when he activates a warp and viceversa. I wonder if these effects are related...

The sixth course is a strange mansion in the woods, first we teleport for a star rush.
I didn't test this star very much, but I think if you're too slow, the star might despawn and you won't be able to grab it, just be careful of your jumps.
I read somewhere that you can bypass the star movement activation and just take your time and then go back to get it.

The second section of the sanctuary features a section similar to Course 3, this features some silver coins, but this time you have to collect 8 of them, these coins aren't hidden so they're easy to collect.
The difficulty ramps on the third section, you must doge Amps and Kuromames (the orbs that spit fire, I recently learned their name) while your jump is a bit restricted, at the end, use the water to heal and go to face the boss.
Aquarium Wiggler is harder than it looks, first, the water/ice floor is actually quicksand and will kill you instantly, the Kuromames will burn you and since it's hard to control Mario while he's on fire, you'll pretty likely will end on the quicksand. And the Amps love to hit you while you're trying to jump on Wiggler's head.
After beating it we get the first key and we get teleported to the place where the Orb of Water and Ice rests and a totally non-suspicious Bob-Omb buddy is here to say hello.
The pipe will get you back to the overworld, so we're ready to continue our adventure (we will come back soon, though, there are a couple of stars we can get when you get 50 stars).

I'm finally back after a long time, still very busy IRL but I'll try to upload videos more often. Also, I will change the way videos are uploaded, the next few days I will upload some videos I already had recorded, but forgot to upload them. After that I will change into uploading full courses in a single video, and the schedule will change to 1 video per week.
I recently got a new computer (last one had a 1st gen Core i5) and now I will be able to encode in Full HD, so if I get time, I might upload new versions of the old walkthroughs.
Enjoy!
