Snowman's Land: Snowman's Land is probably a lot easier than you think. First, make sure you collect the 8 red coins. Then, defeat every enemy you can, however, unless you have a lot of coins that are easier to get to, ignore the Spindrifts in the water. Make sure you also collect every coin sitting out. Be cautious when approaching coins; when you find a Money Bag, chase after it until you catch it, they are worth a lot of coins. Also, make sure you've gone all the way up the Big Snowman, as there are also coins up there. Once you've done that, go to the igloo like you did in Star 6. If you didn;t do Star 6 yet, go up to the Big Snowman, and once you're near the bridge, look down. You should see an igloo. Jump down to it, and crawl in. Once inside, grab the Vanish Cap and collect the coins. There's a lot of them in here, so if you collected all the ones outside, this should put you OVER 100 coins.

Tick Tock Clock: This one is slightly more difficult...it is possible to find over 100 coins in this level as well, however, to complete it, you'll have to have the clock moving, so you can get all the wall up to the top. Collect as many of the 8 Red Coins as you possibly can with the clock moving, and then start your way up. Close to Star 2 (The Pit and the Pendulums) there should be a Blue Coin switch. There are about 5 or 6 Blue Coins here, so that is an easy way to get 100 coins. Other than that, it is quite hard to explain how to get every coin, as it is a complex level. Just try to collect every coin you can. You may need to go all the way to the top; there are a couple of yellow boxes with several coins in them up there.

Here's a breakdown of the coins you need to find...

100 Coins in Snowman's Land
- Destroying the Spindrifts: 42
- Destroying the Snowmen: 12
- Destroying the Wallets of Death: 10
- Destroying the Goombas: 3
- Destroying the one and only Shy Guy: 2
- Collecting the line of Coins on the slope below the Igloo: 8
- Collecting the Coins on the path up the huge Snowman: 5
- Collecting the Coins near Star #3: 2
- Collecting the 8 Red Coins: 16
- Collecting the Coins inside the Igloo: 26
Total: 116

100 Coins in Tick Tock Clock
- Destroying the Bob-Ombs: 2
- Collecting the 1 Yellow '!' Box that holds 2 Coins: 2
- Collecting the 6 Yellow '!' Boxes the hold 3 Coins: 18
- Collecting the 5 Yellow '!' Boxes that hold 10 Coins: 50
- Collecting the 7 Blue Coins from the Blue Coin Switch: 35
- Collecting the Coins near the pole with the Amp: 5
- Collecting the 8 Red Coins: 16
Total: 128

Good luck - hope that helps =D

Actually on tic tock clock it is posible to do it with the level stopped. Collect the red coins from the green platforms behind you at start. Kill boobombs.(there are only two enemies in the entire cousre. Make sure to get every ! Box some of them contain ten coins be sure to jump right after you hit them to ensure you get them all. Go thorugh the level and collect on you're way up. Make sure to get all the blue coins by the pendulums. This is where it gets tricky. Thare where you climb up the pole is where you're jumpimg skills need to be perfected otherwise it's damn near impossible. Cmilmb up onto the frozen platform and look up at the triangle shape. Line up underneath it and face the wall. Run and do a wall kick and you should land on it. The go on and collect more coins. Easy enough just watch out for the black orbs that make fire if they hit you you're most likely gunna have to startover or climb up again.
