Here is the World 4 star coin location guide played through and verified by one of our hard working and mario addicted writers. World 4 consists of mostly ice and water with the gold flower making appearances in world 4-1
We have compiled a list of all the star coin locations in all 11 levels within World 4 including the A,B,C alternate path levels.
Some of these are pretty tricky to get to and are located in hidden areas and since we cannot take screen shots of each location we will do our best to explain where they are in text. By collecting the star coins you can unlock special features in the game as well as unlocking the Star world (You will need to pay 90 Star coins to unlock the main path for Star world and to reveal the Star world you must complete World 6 Castle).
