After completing the episode once, the player can return to this episode to collect the Secret Shine [[Red Coin Chucksters]].

In order to access the secret course, the player needs to hatch the [[Yoshi]] found at the entrance of the village. Near the spa, there is a tree that grows every [[fruit]] in the game aside from [[pepper]]s. By taking the fruit Yoshi craves to him, the player can ride him onto the mushroom platforms underneath the village. At the end of the mushroom platforms is an [[Goop#Orange Juice Generator|Orange Juice Generator]] that can be destroyed by spraying it with Yoshi's [[juice]], revealing the entrance to the secret course. As usual, [[Shadow Mario]] will appear to take [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] away during the player's first visit.

The Secret of the Village Underside is made up of several platforms, with [[Pianta]]s that [[Pianta Thrower|throw]] [[Mario]] acting as the primary means of traveling between them, often reciting the phrase "I'm a chuckster!" before doing so. Talking to a Pianta will have them throw Mario behind them a set distance, either horizontally or vertically. The player can adjust the angle of the throw by talking to a Pianta from a certain position. The first Pianta the player meets serves as an example, and the second Pianta can help the player reach a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. The third Pianta will throw Mario across the gap on to the next platform. The next two Piantas move back and forth and have different strengths; the bigger one is stronger and the little one is weaker. The next Pianta will throw Mario upward to the above platform with many [[Strollin' Stu]]s spawning on it. Behind the platform is a [[Rope#Tightrope|tightrope]] that leads to a platform with a flaming Pianta the player can only interact with on their return visits; extinguishing the fire will have the Pianta reward Mario with a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. This particular Pianta does not throw Mario; if talked to again, he states that he is just an average passerby. The Pianta on the platform with the Strollin' Stus will throw Mario to the next platform with another Pianta circling the center ledge. Speaking to him from the proper angle will have him throw Mario to a platform with either a 1-Up Mushroom or the [[Shine Sprite]].
