Scott says:

This trick seems almost impossible to do, but once you know how, it might not take too long to do. You know the brown platform in the air that has the 4 arrows on it? And you know that if you are off of it for too long then it disappears? Well, my 7 year old brother got off it, and JUST when it was about to disappear, he jumped back on. The platform had disappeared, but the arrows still hadn't! He was standing on the platform, although it was completely invisible (except for the arrows) and it functioned normally. I saw this with my own eyes.

 

At Hazy-Maze Cave go elevator that goes down to the sea monster. While you're going down jump off and stand were the elevator lands. When the elevator comes down it will go right through you.

  

SweetTooth says:

Get the Metal Cap at the beginning of the level and try to make it all the way to the platform that takes you to the underground lake. This is hard because dodging those huge boulders is murder.

  

Nicholas says:  Get Star #2 (Elevate for 8 Red Coins) without riding the Work Elevator. You may use the other elevator higher up (the checkerboard platform).

"Freak Accident"     

Visitor says, "I did this accidentally one day. I was in the basement, in that little room in which the entrance to Hazy-Maze Cave is in. I was getting the star from the toadstool in there. When I jumped to get it, Mario landed on the railing and did his little spin-and-peace-sign thing while balancing on the railing."

Another visitor has said he was able to do this trick 3 out of 7 times, and suggested that the difficulty should be Medium.

Jason Valasek says:  I've done the "Freak Accident" trick for near the entrance to level 6. You have to be real close to the wall with your back facing it [I assume he means back facing the star], then you do a back flip. On the way up you grab the star, and you land on the railing and do your "Here we go!" dance.

I have not tried this yet.

  

Can you instant back flip and wall kick, then pound down the underwater switch without using the metal cap?

"In the entrance room to the hazy maze cave...

1. On the floor, do a turn around flip thing over the railing (any one, the stairs side is harder.. haven't done that one) and do a wall kick of the wall past the railing. Then to make it look nice, hit z and stomp into the pool.
2. Start on the other side of the railing, (on top), long jump over the railing, then wall kick off the little wall under the railing on the other side, then stomp into the pool. This one's easier then the other. both of course are done without touching the ground."
