In order to enter Ricco Tower, the player needs to collect the [[Rocket Nozzle]] on a roof in the plaza. The player can take the [[Manhole]] at the start of the level and use it to reach the rooftops. Once the Rocket Nozzle has been collected, the player needs to make their way to the lower port with the large tower in it. Using the Rocket Nozzle, the player can launch to the high platforms and use them to reach the entrance into Ricco Tower. Upon entering the tower, [[Shadow Mario]] will appear to take [[F.L.U.D.D.]] away.

Returning to Ricco Tower after clearing it once will allow [[Mario]] to use F.L.U.D.D. and do a [[Red Coin]] challenge. [[Ground Pound]]ing the new Red Coin Switch will cause eight Red Coins to appear around the stage and the player must collect them all within a time limit of a minute and thirty seconds. After collecting all eight Red Coins, the Shine Sprite will appear at the end platform. The locations of the Red Coins are:
