The Desert Winds
Jump into a tornado and spin attack from the top to make a helicopter move onto the nearest platform. Do this from platform to platform until you reach the one with the pipe and go down it.
Ground pound the brown blocks to reach the bottom tunnel with the quicksand, and then head right. Avoid the sand by jumping across the blocks and three big wheels.
Grab the fire flower you'll see to help get past the Piranha Plants. Follow the slide down, long jumping to stay ahead of the boulder. Take the Sling Star at the bottom to reach the pipe with the Launch Star.
Use the mini-tornadoes to float up the stone wall, as well as the Sling Stars found in the "?" coin. Wall-jump up and slide down the glass-covered shaft. Then ride the moving platform up to the ledge.
Follow the sand path to the crystal and bust it to get the star.
Blasting the Sand
Defeat the green Pokey heads on the circular platform with spin attacks. Then, with jumping spin attacks, take out the red Pokey that appears. This will reveal the Launch Star.
Head to the circular ring with the rolling boulders. You can avoid the boulders on the underside but must be on top to reach the Sling Star. Take both Stars to the next planet and the third after the sand path.
Collect the five blue Star Chips on the looping sand path to form the Pull Star trail. The final chip is in the chest at the end and must be opened with a shell.
Take the green or orange path to the next Launch Star. The green path is fastest.
Run into the hole you'll land near, take the gold path to another hole and then take the silver path to another. Avoid the twisters as you take the last path to the sandy structure and stomp on the switch to push it down.
Retrace your steps quickly to the sand pit where the structure now stands. Climb it to reach the Star.
Sunbaked Sand Castle
Hit the springboard switch to make the platform rise. Take it up to the Launch Star, avoiding the stone pillars as they pass.
Raise and lower the middle tower you'll come to with the two switches. Do this multiple times to collect the Star Chips around the tower--including the one in the chest you'll open with a shell.
Go to the next planet on the Launch Star you created, and then spin attack a melon at the plant to reveal the next Launch Star. Avoid the Pokey on the next planet for now and take the Sling Star on the other side.
Spin attack the melons onto Pokey's planet and sling back there. Use the melons to beat Pokey for the next Launch Star.
Bust open the wooden box at the bottom of the glass tower to reveal the warp pipe inside. The place will start filling with sand once you enter.
Follow the path up the tower quickly. Jump only when you need to. Spin attack the crates in your way and back flip onto the high ledge. The last Star is at the end.
