Extra Stars
Star 1: Main floor of castle, up the stairs, door on the right with a star on it. There are pictures of the princess in the small room, jump through the one on the right and finish the race for a star.
Star 2: In the room with the picture for course 3, there are 2 holes in the wall up high that you can jump into. One of them has extra men, and the other is a bonus swimming level. Collect all 8 red coins for a star.
Star 3: After you have 20 stars, catch the bunny in the lower level of the castle where courses 6-8 are. (You can run and press B and dive on him... it's not easy)
Star 4: After you have 20 stars, talk to the toadstool guy who should be in the room where you enter course 6. He will give you a star.
Star 5: After you have 50 stars, the bunny will be back for more. Catch him again for a star.
Star 6: After you have 50 stars, in the upper level of the castle where courses 10-13 are, one of the toadstool guys will give you a star if you talk to him.
Star 7: After you have 50 stars, in the room with courses 14 and 15, talk to the toadstool guy and get a star.
Star 8: In the room with courses 14 and 15, go into the room high up in the wall across from where course 15 is. There is a bonus level there. Collect all red coins for a star.
Star 9: Same location as extra star 1 (the princes picture on the main floor of the castle).
