1 . Goomba Grove
Goomba Grove in the Ancient Gardens has 7 collectibles to find. Here they are:
1 – Leafy World – Artwork #1
After completing the tutorial fights in Challenge 1, you’ll spot the tower in the distance. As you continue along the path, look to the left – a coin awaits. Following it will guide you to a hidden chest.
2 – Rumble Bee – Weapon: Mario
Up next is a large puzzle area filled with tunnels and buttons. As you enter, you’ll spot a red ring near the entrance. Collect all 8 red coins to unlock the Weapons Chest.
3 – Mario – 3DModel #1
Beside the golden chest, you’ll find a yellow button. Press it, then head to the center of the area where the two pipe entrances are located. Enter the pipe that leads to the larger fenced section. Once there, press the red button. This will remove the red block, allowing you to use another pipe to access the chest.
4 – Garden Ziggy – 3DModel #4
Return to the two tunnels and take the one you haven’t explored yet. Press the blue button, then head to the area where you previously encountered a blue wall – it’s now open.

Pressing the blue button revealed the entrance to a tunnel leading toward the water. Proceed through it.

Within a fenced area, a green button awaits. Beyond the enclosure stands a vibrant green-blue flower, marking the location of the chest. Follow the coin – it will guide you to your destination.
7 – Rabbid Peach – 3DModel #3
Continue along the wooden bridge pathway, leading to a battle area ahead. Just before reaching this area, you’ll notice a cannon on the right, but it’s not operational yet. Instead, look for another wooden bridge nearby. Cross it, but hold off on entering the next battle area for now. To your left, you’ll find a tunnel – take this route to reach the other side, where you can press the red button to activate the cannon. With the cannon now unlocked, use it to access the chest.

1 . Baffling Blocks – Artwork #2
In the Challenge 2 Battle area, just before encountering the sunflower in the story, you’ll find a treasure trove of coins in the area to your right. To access the chest hidden there, simply move a block out of the way. Keep in mind, you’ll need the MOVE! ability, which is unlocked at the end of World 1.
2 – Rabbid Luigi – 3DModel #2
Use the cannon next to the chest you just opened to reach the next one. Here, you’ll also find a Rabbid button that unlocks access to the regular walkways. However, I prefer to take the cannon back to where I started.

This chest is tied to the story. You’ll receive it from the sunflower after successfully defeating the rabbids in the Challenge 2 area.

6 – The Waterfall Puzzle – Soundtrack 5
Follow the story path until you reach the empty battle area just before Challenge 3. Instead of heading right and descending toward Challenge 3, continue straight ahead. You should spot the coin in the distance. To reach the chest, simply walk around the mountain.
7 – A Towering View – Soundtrack #6

Return to the blue cannon and activate it. Next, press the buttons in this specific order: Blue, Yellow, Red. Once done, you’ll unlock the red ring challenge located in the same area as the blue cannon. To claim the chest, head to the top right corner of the area and use the pipe to access it.
3 – 5 Power Orbs
At the end of this area, you’ll find two wooden blocks. Use your MOVE! ability to push them onto the grey Rabbid buttons. This will unlock the Secret Chapter. Don’t forget to activate the grey Rabbid button on the right to reveal the first section of the bridge.
