New Super Mario Bros. 2/World 1-1

This level starts with a few ? Blocks and a goomba, which can safely be jumped over or onto. On top of the colored blocks, you will find another ? block with a mushroom inside, the first power-up in the game. Grab the mushroom and move onto the area covered by music blocks. Jump onto the music blocks, timing your jump correctly to jump onto the platform above. There, you will get your first star coin. The next set of music boxes' platform has a Fire Flower inside. Down the ledge, a tower of three goombas will be walking back and forth. They're a bit more dangerous than individual goombas, but can still safely be jumped on or over. Get past the green koopa up ahead and climb over the colored blocks to avoid falling in the pit. On top of the blocks, you will find a brick that, if jumped into enough times, will become a Gold Brick, which creates coins as you run along.

After a few more music boxes, you will find a checkpoint flag. Touch it to ensure that you can return to this point if you die for the rest of the level. It will also make small Mario regular sized. The next set of colored blocks has another goomba tower and a couple of ? blocks. The one on the left will grant a fire flower. When you see the next row of music blocks, jump on them to smash your way to the second star coin. Immediately afterwards, you will see a brick lying on the ground. Butt-stomp it and keep pressing down to create another Gold Brick, and get even more coins. In the process, you'll enter a cave with several goombas and a box that grants up to 50 coins. Get the loot and get out.

Alternatively, you can progress to the green pipe ahead and go down in it, launching you into the sky. Hit the P button and run along the path that appears quickly to reach the third and final star coin of the level. This will bring you to roughly the same place as the other route. Another couple of Goomba towers will appear, which will have to be jumped over. You can leap over the final tower to grab the flagpole, or you can stomp the entire tower of goombas to get more points and a life.
