I found that 21st coin. You're right - in a way it is more frustrating than the shy guy, but I'll still take that over having to start over nine times out of ten because I missed the shy guy as he's floating by.

BTW, Poochy DEFINITELY is stupid. I can't keep count of how many deaths and start/selects that stage has caused me. ;)

Those were indeed the four coins I was missing, and I'm definitely kicking myself. It was staring me in the face the entire time and I didn't even realize it. Thank you for putting an end to my madness. I kept going over and over the world in my head trying to figure out where else I could go, and of course I was overlooking the answer the whole time.

My rating of the extras, from easy to hard:

World 4 (now that I know, there's nothing to it; hard the first time, like you said, but it's a different kind of hard, if that makes any sense)
World 2 (also probably my favorite level in the game)
World 6
World 5 (I die many times on purpose here as well)
World 1
World 3

I don't know where the 21st red coin is in World 3. If you would be so kind as to enlighten me once again, it probably won't take me so many tries to get through that world anymore. ;)

It's still harder to me than the world 5 extra, though - it's all those **** monkeys. ;)

Thanks so much for the help with World 4 - can't wait to try it. I think maybe I have an idea of where you're talking about - if so, I'm kicking myself for not figuring it out. ;)

Actually, I think, without a doubt, that the World 3 Extra world is by far the hardest in the game. Take away the one floating Shy Guy with the red coin and it becomes significantly easier, but it would still be very difficult without that.

I'd probably say the World 5 Extra was third hardest of the extra worlds, and I personally find the skiing levels quite fun, although they're obviously difficult.

The most maddening part of the World 5 Extra to me is the ending sections where you do the helicopter morph - avoiding all the guys throwing eggs is frustrating.

Game Help / Yoshi's Island - World 4 Bonus

I've just recently decided to bring out the old SNES for another go around. I've completed SMW 2: Yoshi's Island with 100% in every level except the World 4 Bonus. I'm four red coins short. I swear I've enetered every wall entrance, and I don't know where else to look for those last four coins.

Anyone have any tips?
