* 5-6, which is the home of the World 5 boss, Petey Piranha. It seems to be easy at first, but then when you get to the bridge, Petey Piranha appears and ''eats'' Kersti. Without Kersti, you can't paperize (so attaching the secret door of this level to it's rightful place can't be done until Kersti is rescued). Then you cross half the level and it's easy until you reach the Chain Chomp you have to battle. It can't take damage no matter WHAT item you use. You have to use a Baahammer to put it to sleep and then run off. Then you have to battle it again. You have to use useless items before it wakes up. Once it does, it goes ramming across the screen (you HAVE to have more then 10 HP here, since the Chain Chomp runs in to you with no stopping, and you lose 10 HP for that). Then finally, you reach the boss, Petey Piranha. He has 300 HP. It's pretty much hard. But what makes it worse is that you can't use the Battle Spinner, because you need Kersti to operate that, and Kersti is Petey's body. And with the royal sticker on his head, your stickers do little damage to him. Your only bet on beating him is to use Infinijumps stickers. At least you get Kersti back at the end of this level...

But then Kamek appears and turns all 100 Boos into one giant Big Boo, who only has one attack; jumping on to you and grabbing you (hope you have lots of Spike Helmets for this battle; you'll need 'em). After finally defeating the Big Boo, Steward will tell you to come in the room left of the lobby. The Comet Sticker is right outside the mansion, out the window, after exiting the living room. What a hair-pulling mess this level is.

* Stage 5-5, the Cave That Never Ends Ends, is an obnoxiously difficult [[AutoScrollingLevel forced-scrolling stage]] that very nearly lives up to its name. The level is a constant barrage of challenging platforming sections that are far too complex to make split-second maneuvers practical, yet that's what you have to do... you know, because of the autoscroll and all. There are several spots where you have to clear a path to a coin or flower and then backtrack so you can follow the path, only to find that you can no longer get to it because you didn't stay ''quite'' far enough ahead of the scroll. And then once you do finally get to the exit ring, you find out you passed it quite a while ago, but the scrolling wouldn't let you go to it until just now.

You have to make extremely precise jumps across platforms through lines of enemies without being able to stop and take a moment to plan your maneuvers because Mario ''can't stop running''. The worst of the bunch is World Flower-Cannon, where you have to time a bunch of jumps off parachuting Bob-ombs which sway from left to right as they fall, not to mention all the rotating Amps you have to deal with.

** The second level is basically a volcano level full of Paratroopas and Podoboos. The main way to traverse across the level is tor jump on the Paratroopas to go to the next part. The thing is, the Podoboos may be in your way and that once you jump on the Paratroopa, it's basically finished so you can only jump on each Paratroopa once. Make one wrong move and you'll be jumping straight into the lava. Oh, and there is a time limit of 100 seconds. So you better make a move quickly or else you're done for good.
** The last level is a Dash Mario level where the entire level consists of jumping on Bullet Bills. It's a very good way to get coins if you're Gold Mario and if you thought the level was a bit too easy and short, go to the left of the first cannon and you'll find a secret route to another Dash Mario cannon. This is the harder version of the normal Dash Mario level and it's the only way to get all 3 Star Coins.

* The DownloadableContent Nerve-Wrack Pack of the Coin Rush mode is basically this. No wonder it's rated five out of five stars in terms of difficulty. Each of the levels (the pack has three fixed levels) have a certain gimmick to it that makes the level a lot harder than it looks like.
** The first level is basically a level full of P-Switches that you have to press in order to continue. The P-Switch turns the nearby coins into platforms for you to run onto the next switch so you have to press the switch quick and then go to the next switch before time runs out. And not only that, if you intend to go as Gold Mario to create some shortcuts to collect more coins, be careful of not destroying the only platforms that you can run on. If you intend to collect the Star Coins, hope that you have good reflexes!

* 8-3 easily takes the title of nastiest level in the game. It looks simple enough, but there are [[DemonicSpiders Hammer Brothers]] ''all over'' the level, many of them on flat ground. You can't wait for them to get on a higher platform and knock them off; you can only run under them, jump over them, kick a Koopa Troopa shell into them if any are available, or have a Fire Flower (and good luck keeping one at that point in the game). Oh, and since it's a World 8 level, [[CheckPointStarvation there's no midway point]], which means that if you get unlucky and the Hammer Brother jumps at just the wrong time, you'll probably be starting the entire level over from the beginning again as Small Mario.
