Bob-Omb Battlefield: The Five Silver Stars: show
Firstly, go through one level transition, and at the end of the second area, there should be a cannon. To start with, shoot up from there and there should be a silver star. If you are on that specific challenge, a sling star should appear, with red arrows pointing at it. If there isn't one, you can easily use the cannon again to get to the cloud where the shine sprite will appear once you have collected all the silver stars. The second silver star should be in the middle of a green platform rotation circle, then to get to the third one you would need to use the sling star close by. Once you have the first three, make your way across a large row of falling logs, and the fourth one will be on some other falling logs above that spot. And then the last one is past some more green platforms. Then head back to the main cloud for the shine sprite!
Castle Secret Star: Tropical Island: show
The first silver star is easy - it's right in front of the sign that you see when you first start the challenge. The second one should be underwater where the first gap you see is after the reading the sign. Then the third one is underwater again in the next big water gap you see, near some green platforms. It should be to the right of a nearby star coin. Then the next one should also be underwater near some green platforms but instead to the left of the star coin. Then the last one is up on the hill. To get there, you need to find some rotating green platforms outside where you just got the last two silver stars. Then you'll reach a mound, and there's another small mound just above it with a green platform. Take that to get to the last silver star. Then go back to the beginning of the level to get the shine sprite!
Hazy Maze Cave: The Secret of the Lake: show
To get there, I'm guessing you'd found the Underground Lake before. Just go back there, but collect the metal cap by using the Rocket FLUDD (it's in a little hidden away camouflaged pathway above the sling star) and by the underground lake, there is a breakable block. Stomp on it, and then pass through the next level transition. When you get to the hidden lake, the first silver star should be underwater on the first left. A big cheep-cheep will be guarding every silver star. The next silver star will be further underwater, on the second left. Then keep going a bit further underwater, and you'll find the third silver star. Go back up to the surface, and travel across to the other far side of the lake. Then go underwater again, and keep going straight down to the bottom of the lake, and you should find another silver star. Go back to the surface, and the last silver star should be in a small dip on the right of when you first go underwater on the far side of the lake. Then to get the shine sprite, go deeper until you get to a pathway in the right side of the lake, in the rock. The shine sprite will be at the very end, guarded by some big cheep-cheeps.
Wet Dry World: The 5 Secrets of the Shallows and Sky: show
When you start the level, you are already in the right area, so you do not need to go anywhere else, for example, go through another level transition. To start off with, turn on the switch and some blocks will appear. Hop across all of them and you should see a silver star on one of the highest blocks. Grab it quickly, before the blocks disappear! Once you have that silver star, wait for the blocks to disappear and just stay in your exact position. When you get to the water, you'll see an invisibility cap (take it, this will help for later on), but you'll also see a silver star surrounded by breakable bricks. Just spin attack through them. Easy. Then press the switch on the floor to the left of where you just collected the silver star, then go through to the next transition. When you go into the next transition, stomp on a breakable brick in the ground, blocking a silver star. Then quickly, before your invisibility runs out, carry on going left (and press the switch when you see it) and go into the cage to collect the next silver star. Then travel upwards on some green platforms and press the next switch controlling the water that you see. Afterwards, travel upwards on the green platforms again and get the silver star at the top. That should be the last one - so afterwards, go through into the other area again (where you started) and get the shine sprite!
Lethal Lava Land: The Lava Wheel: show
This one is quite difficult to explain the positions of the silver stars, as it's a rotating wheel. To get there, you need to just keep travelling right until you reach the next level transition. When you get there, carry on going right through some moving platforms until you reach some toads and some sling stars. By this time, you'll see the lava wheel. Take any sling star, it doesn't matter. Like I said, it's difficult describing the positions of the silver stars, so instead just keep walking through the rotating wheel. After all, if you miss a silver star one time, it'll come back round sooner or later. When you finish the shine sprite is just outside the lava wheel on the left.
Tall Tall Mountain: Silver Stars in the Skies: show
Getting there isn't very complicated, just go up the mountain like you would for the first shine sprite. But the silver stars should be around the area where there are some clouds forcing you to move upwards. You might also pick up Hover FLUDD when you're round there. The first silver star is quite easy to find. You'll get to a sign which says "Find all five silver stars" and there's a red arrow pointing upwards. There's a silver star up there. Easy. To get to the next one, you follow some falling platforms and it'll take you to some turf. After that, there should be a sling star - take that and there should be another sling star next to some green platforms. Make sure to set off at the right time, as there is a box containing the second silver star. When you have that, go across the green platforms up to a cloud with a wing cap on it, and then take off into the sky. In the sky, there should be two silver stars. One is located around the middle of where all the coins are, and the other is on the bottom row of coins near the end. Try and land on a cloud with the Rocket FLUDD on it, as it's a bit of a checkpoint. While you're standing there, you should see a red arrow pointing upwards, and to the right of it there should be another one with a silver star at the top of it. When you have the last silver star, go back to the cloud which had the Rocket FLUDD on it and from there, try to drop back down to the main cloud where you started, and the shine sprite should be there also.
Tall Tall Mountain: The Secret of the Mountainside: show
It's quite difficult to get there, so just go up the mountain like you would've done for the first shine sprite. If you want a quicker, slightly easier way, you can use Rocket FLUDD if you have it already. Use it at your starting point and some way up next to the waterfall, you should see a big rock in the air. Land on that, and rocket again and you should pass through a transition. Then you'll land in a pool of water. Then stand on a platform floating on the water's surface and rocket up onto the rotating blocks. Then rocket up to another rock in the air before the next transition up. Then shoot up into the next transition, and try and land on the rock in the air with a tree on it (to the right of the waterfall), and triple jump onto the turf next to it. Don't use rocket FLUDD, or you'll miss the turf. There's a cave right there, and walk through it. If you walked up the mountain from scratch, try and look out for a cave on a turf mound and a rock in the air with a tree. It should be in the same transition area as the shine sprite for the top of the mountain. (sorry if that's confusing, I did try my hardest to explain it) Anyway, with the actual challenge - When you enter take the invisibility and you'll fall onto some breakable bricks, and start making your way along the path given. (but avoid the caging that you'll fall through if you're not careful) Then collect the invincibility at the end. When you have that, start making your way back again, but obviously this time avoid the breakable bricks. When you get to the fire at the end, take the sling star and it'll automatically give you the first silver star. After that, you need to get to the first blue platform. It'll take you up to some rotating blocks, and the second silver star is up there. Jump back onto the blue platform when you've finished, and take it up to the third silver star on your way round. To get to the fourth silver star, just keep moving round and round and you'll soon reach it, and for the final one, find your chance to get to an orange platform, and then use that to get a green platform. Then you should come across the last silver star on your way round. When you have them all, keep going round on the green platforms because the shine sprite will be there at some point.
Castle Secret Star: A Galaxy of Stars: show
When you start, head towards your right so you arrive at some green platforms. Then go right again and you should see some more green platforms moving in a horizontal line. Go all the way across them and you'll get your first silver star. Then go back to the circle of green platforms and use them to get to a sling star. The sling star will then send you to a rotating grass mound. Take another sling star to get to a cloud with the main sign on it. When you're there, go across some more green platforms and you should land on a big brick statue "kind of thing". (do not know how to explain this XD) And instead of taking another sling star, carry on going left until you reach some water. There should be another silver star up at the top. When you have that, fall right down onto a swinging platform, and allow yourself to fall onto a green platform. Round there, you should find another silver star so keep making your way across the green platforms until you reach it. To get back again, go back to where the swinging platform is but allow yourself to fall down to the ground, where you started the level. Then go back to the big brick statue kind of thing and take the sling star. It'll send you to another grass rotating mound in the sky, but this time a lot bigger. There should be two silver stars around there. When you have them both, you should find the shine sprite in the middle of the big grass rotating mound.
And that is all.
If there are any I have missed out, do tell me - but as far as I'm aware, they're all of the silver star challenges.
He was just trying to help everyone that needed help on getting the stars. GOSH!
Sorry about that.
