In the room with the Tick Tock Clock level, go to the left and enter the hole in the wall. Collect the eight red coins in this level. This is one of the hardest stars in the game. If you fall down from this level you will not lose a life; instead, you will end up outside the castle in the lake, and have to climb all the way back up the castle.

Super Mario 64 DS
The red coin star is slightly different in the Nintendo DS version. Most coins are on the same clouds, but the sixth coin is on the cloud right below the fifth coin. Afterwards, fly down to the cannon and aim above the cloud with the poles.
Super Mario 64 DS
The second star is much easier. You need Wario though. Go to the cloud with the cannon, the tree, the pink Bob-omb and the black bricks. Break the black bricks to achieve a star.

You have to collect all 8 red coins with a winged cap. There are 2 cannons to assist you.

  1. Once you start off, do a complete 180 to find a coin directly behind you.
  2. Grab a wing cap, and follow the rainbow near where the red coin was down to a cloud, where there is another red coin.
  3. Replenish the wing cap, turn to your right, and fly down to the cloud with the tree. The third red coin is there.
  4. The fourth red coin is found on a pink platform with a cannon, below the cloud you are currently on.
  5. Open the cannon and shoot to the other pink platform, where there's another cannon. Jump in that cannon and shoot to the poles hanging down from a cloud, where there is another coin.
  6. Slide all the way down, grab the wing cap if needed, and fly back to the cannon you just came out of. Jump in and shoot to the translucent cloud, where there is a coin in the middle. (You can't stand on this cloud! You need to fly straight to the coin and then proceed onto the next step.)
  7. Once again, fly back to the cannon. Jump in and aim above the cloud with the poles. Shoot yourself off and you'll find the last two coins.

Make sure you always replenish your wing cap when you can, so that you don't lose it in the middle of flying around.
