Go to about the middle of the room and find the Boo near a signpost and coins above you. The path to the secret exit is slightly in the air and to the left. Use wall jumps or the Squirrel suit to reach the secret door up there. It will open to a room with lots of coins and a red pipe that leads to the secret flagpole.

Jump up and over the red ring to find a hidden passage containing some normal coins. Once inside that passage, jump up at the top of the first hill to find another hidden passage made of square bricks. Follow this passage to find a hidden pipe. Exit the pipe to find the red flag for the secret exit to Acorn Plains.
Tower: Exit to Rock Candy Mines secret level
Play through the Tower level. Either get the Mini Mushroom found early in the level or enter the level with one. Remain as Mini Mario all the way to nearly the top of the tower. Enter the miniature pipe up there and carefully proceed through the room. You will find Star Coin #3 and a pipe leading to the secret exit.
