It is accessed in the northwest of [[Delfino Plaza]] via [[Warp Pipe]]. It is possible to reach the pipe with the Hover Nozzle, Turbo Nozzle, or [[Yoshi]] by jumping on the high trees leading up to the pipe, but it is easiest to get there most of the time with the Rocket Nozzle. During the temporary flood, the water level is right below the palm tree tops used to climb up to it, and as such can also be reached simply. It is impossible to refill [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] here, as there is no source of water. As such, Mario must exit the level and retry if he runs out of water and wishes to try again.

Like other secret levels accessed in Delfino Plaza (as well as [[The Sand Bird is Born]] and [[Red Coins in a Bottle]]), the Red Coin Field is set suspended high in a cloudy sky. There are eight [[Red Coin|red coin]]s to collect throughout the field, after which a [[Shine Sprite]] appears:

*One red coin is on a brown structure.

*Mario can obtain another four coins by defeating the two [[Pokey Head|Pokey Pod]]s and two [[Seedy Pod]]s that pop out of the dense grass.

**It is possible to knock the Pokey Pods off the field, resulting in Mario being [[Unwinnable state|unable to get their red coins]] and having to redo the level.

*At the top of the level, Mario can find the unique [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)#Red Bird|Red Bird]] only found in this minicourse. This Bird drops a red coin when doused enough with FLUDD.

In the Japanese version of the game, the game crashes if 100 coins are collected, as no spawn point for the 100 coin Shine Sprite exists in that version's map. It is possible to collect 100 coins in the Red Coin Field by collecting 96 to 99 coins in Delfino Plaza before entering the secret level, and then entering the Red Coin Field and collecting coins from one of the two Pokey Pods after spraying it into a wall. Spraying it into a wall makes it produce two yellow coins alongside one red coin; merely stomping on it makes it only produce one red coin.
