In the original game,Mario needs to make his way to the boardwalk in the second area. On the boardwalk are theblue and green blocks. After Mario puts both the Vanish Cap andMetal Cap on, he needs tolong-jump into thewater to close the distance between them and the cage and then walk over to the cage on the right. The player needs to move quickly, however, as the ability is temporary. Despite the mission title, the player can also obtain thePower Star with the Vanish Cap alone by long-jumping off the boardwalk andswimming inside the cage, although this can be tricky due to Mario's slow swimming speed.

In the DS game, Luigi needs to make his way to the boardwalk in the second area. He then needs to collect his Power Flower from thered block to turninvisible and swim down to the cage under the large hole to the south. Inside the cage is the Star, but Luigi needs to swim inside quickly before the Power Flower's ability wears off.
