And now this world seemed easier than world 5 again.
6-1: Intro to the Tenshi/Peach suit. The suit allows you to spawn a keystone in front of you, which you can use a stepping stone (after which it will drop and destroy the first thing it hits), or shove it sideways into a destructible wall or enemy. This level has a rather distinctly split route, one leading to stage 2 and one to stage 3, so I make sure to show both routes.
6-2: Moving platform level. This one took a few tries to get down, but isn't really that bad in retrospect. Knowing your jump distance and timing them appropriately is important for getting all the red stars. Apologies for the accidental cut in the footage near the beginning of the level; all you're missing is me riding a platform for 3 seconds and picking up a red star on the path (you pretty much literally can't miss picking this one up).
6-3: Another auto-scroller. And as has been the tendency so far in the game, this one's pretty easy too. The only tricky aspect is that several red stars are placed in boxes near ledges, requiring you to grab them quickly before they fall off.
6-4: Underwater maze. This one's fairly tough to navigate. The route to all the hidden stars and the exit is very unclear. I went back to the World 3 shop to grab a Suwako suit, but it turns out there's one right near the beginning, so as long as you're not Little Marisa (so the powerup doesn't downgrade to a mushroom), that shouldn't be necessary. You'll also need the Tenshi suit (one can be found in this stage) to bust through a wall blocking one of the red stars.
6-5: Rather simple level, just ride a bunch of air currents. There's a couple outlying red stars, but as long as you have your trusty carrot, fishing them out is pretty simple.
UPDATE: I was using the unpatched version of the game when I made this video. In this version, 6-4 and 6-5 were incorrectly swapped, and the secret exit leading to the shop shown in another video was nonexistent.

Whats up with the random cut?

@Spiderpig2398 I'm honestly not sure. Pretty sure it only left out like 10 seconds of the level, so you shouldn't be missing much.

@SpootyBiscuit This is a 100% Star run. How would it help[ us if we missed a star? Now it seems like a 99.9% run to me. :l If you could upload it, I wouldn't care, but it would be nice.

@Spiderpig2398 The first star in the map is pretty much in plain sight, from what I remember. You can see that I picked it up, at any rate, and that happened in what looks like about 5 missing seconds of footage. I deleted my recorded footage of this a long time ago, anyway (Fraps videos take up boatloads of disc space), so I'd have to re-record an entire level just to show 5 seconds of a level and picking up one red star. Not worth the effort (plus my Fraps broke, so I literally can't anyway).

stage 6-4 and 6-5 are reversed for me for some odd reason...

@TomsWaffles I think I recorded this video using the initial, unpatched version of the game. The levels were incorrectly placed in v1.0.
