==Layout==
In order to access the secret course, the player needs to hatch the [[Yoshi]] found at the entrance of the village. Near the spa, there is a tree that grows every [[fruit]] in the game aside from [[pepper]]s. By taking the fruit Yoshi craves to him, the player can ride him onto the mushroom platforms underneath the village. At the end of the mushroom platforms is an [[Orange Juice Generator]] that can be destroyed by spraying it with Yoshi's [[juice]], revealing the entrance to the secret course. As usual, [[Shadow Mario]] will appear to take [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] away during the player's first visit.

The Secret of the Village Underside is made up of several platforms, with special [[Pianta]]s known as "[[chuckster]]s" acting as the primary means of traveling between them. Talking to a chuckster will have them throw [[Mario]] behind them a set distance, either horizontally or vertically. The player can adjust the angle of the throw by talking to a chuckster from a certain position. The first chuckster the player meets serves as an example, and the second chuckster can help the player reach a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. The third chuckster will throw Mario across the gap on to the next platform. The next two chucksters move back and forth and have different strengths; the bigger one is stronger and the little one is weaker. The next chuckster will throw Mario upward to the above platform with many [[Strollin' Stu]]s spawning on it. Behind the platform is a [[Rope#Tightrope|tightrope]] that leads to a platform with a flaming Pianta the player can only interact with on their return visits; extinguishing the fire will have the Pianta reward Mario with a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Talking to this particular Pianta afterward reveals that he is not a chuckster; instead stating that he is just an average passerby. The chuckster on the platform with the Strollin' Stus will throw Mario to the next platform with a chuckster circling the center ledge. Speaking to that chuckster from the proper angle will have him throw Mario to a platform with either a 1-Up Mushroom or the [[Shine Sprite]].
