The player must first enter the pyramid and climb to the top, as if they were doing the course's third mission, Inside the Ancient Pyramid. Once the player reaches the top of the "sandfall" just before the Power Star, they need to climb down to the small ledge below with a Coin. Collecting the Coin will start a secret counter and collect five of the special coins in the pyramid is the mission's objective. The player then has to jump down to a small platform on the left side of the sandfall, followed by jumping to the platform on the right side, collecting the Coins as they go down. The player must then jump into the stream of sand and collect the two Coins within it. If the player collected all five coins, the Power Star will appear at the end of the steam. However, the player has to be careful when collecting it, otherwise fall into the quicksand below. In the original game, the player has to jump to reach the Power Star, though it appears in a Star Sphere and becomes easier to collect in the DS remake.
