Overview
STROOP- TotWC.png

The Tower of the Wing Cap or TotWC is a secret stage where you unlock the Wing Cap. It is accessible after collecting 10 stars; a bright light shines on the sun mat in the foyer, and looking at the source with the C-Up button sends you to TotWC.

A first person angle of -6144 is required to enter, making it impossible to enter without the joystick. However it is possible to press the button without joystick once in the level.

The ceiling of the castle foyer as viewed with C^ from the central sun carpet. Looking at this spot with 10 or more stars warps you into the level.

Coins

Collecting all of the coins in this course is deceptively difficult, and was at one point thought to be impossible due to the difficult maneuvering. There's a total of 63 coins here.[1]

Location Count
Six individual coins leading to the first ring 6
Four rings of coins 32
Three sets of three coins between rings 9

There is an unsolved challenge in this course, to reach a Parallel Universe.
