Location Of Course 10:
On the second floor of the castle there is a Toad that will tell you to watch for
things that are reflected in the Mirror Room’s mirrors. You will see in the room that
the wall on the far left of the room looks blank, but in the mirror it has a painting of
a snowman on it. Jump into the wall.
You’re there.

Star 1: Shining atop the Snowman
When you enter the Course, look up using the C-up button and you will see the Snowman and the
Star on his head. To get there, go straight, turn right, turn left, and continue going straight.
You will see the Frozen Pond on your right and the Freezing Pond in front of you to the left.
The Frozen Pond is like the lava in Course 7: Touch it and you’re in trouble. The Freezing
Pond is more like regular water (i.e.: you can swim in it) with two major exceptions:
You will lose a unit of energy every 3 seconds instead of every 9 seconds, and your energy
won’t replenish automatically. In the middle of the Frozen Pond you will see the
machine shooting ice blocks into the water. The blocks come in sets of three: 2 small, 1 big.
Jump over them carefully so you can get to the platform above the machine. Move slowly and
carefully so you can get to the top. At the top, the Snowman will yell at you for tickling him and
will try to blow you away. To avoid the wind, jump on top of the penguin that is waiting for you.
Ride him across the bridge. At the other side, get off of the penguin, jump on top of the Snowman’s
head, and get the Star!
(If you get blown off, find your hat before leaving the course!)

Star 2: Battle the Snow Bully
Above the Frozen Pond there is a platform with the Snow Bully. Beat him the same
way you beat the Big Bully in Course 7. A nice, quick, easy Star.

Star 3: In the Deep Freeze
When you enter the Course, turn left and you will see a big ice cube with a Star in it. To enter the ice cube,
walk around it to its back. Enter through the opening in its side and jump twice to get yourself to the top.
Fall through the opening in the top onto the Star!

Star 4: Whirl Across the Freezing Pond
In the middle of the Freezing Pond, there are a couple of Whirlybirds that will try
to kill you if you walk near them. Jumping on one of them will make you fly up into the air, spinning.
Use one of them to launch yourself across the Pond. On the other side there are two "!" blocks.
One holds a Shiny Shell (see Star 5), the other holds the Star!

 Star 5: Shell Shredding for 8 Red Coins
First 4 Red Coins: Get the Shiny Shell (see Star 4) and shred up the slope straight
for the coins. Be careful! You will be going very fast and a snowman will jump at you
once you have gotten the 3rd coin! If you bump into him, you will lose the shell!
5th Red Coin: On the ground, next to the Freezing Pond.
Last 3 Red Coins: Stay on the shell and head underneath the Snow Bully’s platforms you can get Coins 5 & 6.
Keep on shredding until you see the last one behind a tree, near the cannon.
Star: On the right from where you enter the course.

Star 6: Into the Igloo
(Required: Vanish Cap)
Get the Shiny Shell (see Star 4) and head up the slope in the Freezing Pond with the coins on the
side. Jump over the gate and get rid of the Shell by pressing Z. You will see the Igloo.
When you crawl into the Igloo, you will see the Star, frozen in a block of ice.
To get it, get the Vanish Cap from the far end and run through the ice to get the Star!
P.S.: Remember to talk to the Bob-omb Buddy while wearing the Vanish Cap to open the cannon!

Star 7: Back into the Igloo for 100 Coins
(Required: Vanish Cap)
To beat the snowmen, run around them in tight circles until they spin themselves out of existence.
They each give you 3 Yellow Coins. Get the coins on the snow plain next to the Freezing Pond
(around 15 Yellow Coins). Be careful! The coin that is floating slightly above the ground
is a decoy! Walk near it, and it will turn into an Alligator Purse! Butt Stomp on it to get 10 Coins.
Use the Cannon to launch yourself across the course so you can get the Shiny Shell and get the
8 Red Coins (=16 Yellow Coins). Then, shred up the slope to the Igloo. Get the Vanish Cap
and collect the coins that are frozen in the ice. As usual, the Star appears above your head.

Course 9: Dire, Dire Docks
Course 11: Wet-Dry World
