2. Get the Rocket Nozzle and shoot up to the platform of the large dirty shine in the middle of town. Wash it off.
3. Get the Rocket Nozzle and head left. The first house will have a tower on it. In front of the tower on the house's roof is an egg. Rocket up to this dirty bell and clean it. Fall down to your right and you'll see a sewer hatch ahead. On either side of the hatch there are houses. Jump to the roof on your left and theres another hatch. Go down and proceed to the Shine. Across from this first tower you'll find another tower with a dirty bell. Clean it too.
4. Go towards the sewer you took to get Shine 3. Jump on the box to the top of this structure. On the right you'll see a NPC next to a rooster weather vane. Talk to the NPC and he'll launch you to a shine.
5. Under the archway where the ship passes you'll find a hole. Jump into it. No matter what you'll always be forced to the right. To get the first coin butt slam as soon as you start moving right. The red coin on the far right may cause trouble. Instead using the chute as you did previously run straight up the slanted platform in the back. When you get to the opening with the coin jump and hover to it.
6. With Yoshi go to the Noki Bay warp. A ship will pass by . Board it. Use the three ships until you reach the island with the stranded NPC. On the last boat there'll be a yellow bird floating on the water. Spray it. When you get to the island eat the bird.
7. Do the same thing as in Shine six but this time go down the sewer. At the beginning get to the right a tad and you'll obtain the first two coins easily. For the third you need to move the leaf to the left some. For thr fourth move left a little more. For the fifth start moving to the right as fast as you can after getting the fourth. For the sixth coin continue right. For the seventh if you proceed to the right a little you should pass right under it. When you jump the leaf won't move to much so you'll land safely. Now start propelling yourself to the platform. If you miss any coins your objective should be to get the extra life and start over. Also if youre careful you can actually walk back to the beginning on the edge. The leaf will respawn.
8. At the beginning to the left there are shudders blocking a Shine. Get the turbo nozzle and bust through to get it.

To get there use the platforms over the water which are connected by rope. If you havent already figured it out the spin jump technique helps here. Simply move the analog stick in a quick circle and jump. This platforming objective is really easy just take your time and the patterns will be readily discernable.
4. Red Coins of Windmill Village
There are three on the wall which divides the east and west protions of the town. The rest you can find on the roofs in the west part of town. One you might have trouble getting has to do with the triangular windmills. Simply shoot water to manuver the platforms so that you can reach the red coin. There is one on the morhtern most building. To get the Shine traverse the rope leading up from the northern most building.

Jump on it for the Rocket Nozzle. Now proceed up the path toward the big windmill. In the back you'll see a cave enter it. The first part should be easy to understand. For the second jump toward the blue wall on the right and then jump off of it to the platform across the gap. Be careful of the cubes as they rotate. Simply make sure that you're on the top piece before it turns 90 degress. Also note that you need not jump over the edges of the cubes.
7. Shadow Mario on the Loose
This objective is much easier than the first one. The quickest way to dispose of him here and in most cases is simply using the belly slide. This will propel you ahead of him and allow you to attack him more easier.
8. The Red Coins of the Lake
First get the rocket nozzle. Get the coin in the lake and then the one on the rope connecting the platforms in the lake. There's another on land on the wire just connecting the platforms before the rocket nozzle. There's one other red coin on a wire that connects the platform from mainland to the platform with the red rocket. Now traverse the path to the big windmill. After crossing the bridge you'll encounter a vertical column of coins which is made conspicuous by the shadow. Shoot straight up under them and you'll hit a wire. The rest of the red coins are on these various wires. Eventually you'll reach a third tier of ropes. Go to the highest platform here which is to the right if youre facing the windmill. To the right you'll see a platform a little higher up. Begin to charge the rocket nozzle and jump toward the platform you should just make it.
