This is a treasure-hunting stage.  The general [[SA2 Hunting Tips|hunting tips]] apply.  The best locations are:

Piece 3: "Flattened grass" Head toward Ghost Train Mountain. You'll see spinning spikeballs and an oval track (minus one ghost train). At one end of the track, the spikeballs will go over a patch of orange grass. Dig where that grass is and you just might grab piece 3.

Piece 3: "Flattened grass" To get the piece in the fastest way, use the rising start.  Unfortunately this means you won't be using the Restart pause menu option here, and killing yourself off repeatedly in preparation for the rising start takes a frustratingly long amount of time. Once you've gone flying, head toward Ghost Train Mountain. You'll see spinning spikeballs and an oval track (minus one ghost train). At one end of the track, the spikeballs will go over a patch of orange grass. Dig where that grass is and you just might grab piece 3.

Piece 2: "Twin skulls" Head toward Church Mountain. Fairly low down, you'll find two flamethrowing skulls. The piece is in the cove, between those skulls. Just don't get hit by the fire while trying for the piece, which would be dumb.

Piece 1: "The tombstone guarded by four skulls" Use the rising start here. Once you have pieces 3 and 2, spend each life killing yourself off in the prescribed method, and start flying. If you have the correct piece 1, the radar will turn green as you fly up. Glide forward from the boost, and aim for the platform just ahead. Behind the tombstone is the final piece.

Piece 1: "The tombstone guarded by four skulls" Once you have pieces 3 and 2, it's time to use the rising start again. If you have the correct piece 1, the radar will turn green as you fly up. Glide forward from the boost, and aim for the platform just ahead. Behind the tombstone is the final piece.

On the second trip, head backward and get the 20 again, then go forward to the 10 for 75.  Turn right at the fork, and follow the thin connector path to get 5 more rings.  Take the rocket up to Ghost Train Mountain.  You'll see a balloon; glide to it and another balloon will appear, so repeat this process.  It continues for 4 balloons, each of which has 5 rings to get to 100 total.
