How do I get the 3rd castle secret star (wing cap)?
1 of 7: First, collect ten stars.
2 of 7: There will be a shaft of light showing on the sun emblem at the foot of the stairs.
3 of 7: Using the yellow "C" buttons, look up into the source of light and you'll transport to another level and you'll be flying.
4 of 7: When you fly over the tower with the big red button, use the"'Z" button to land.
5 of 7: After you land, jump on the button which will activate red "!" boxes.
6 of 7: From now on, you'll be able to get wing caps in some of the levels.
