Coconut tree coins
Some trees allow you to launch coconuts using the DS's touch screen. If you launch them at the wall they will create cracks in the wall, and for a short period of time coins will pop out of them.

Super Boost
Before landing on a zipper or using a blue balloon, let go of the acceleration button to get a much stronger longer lasting boost then normal
Answers to sand puzzle
Near the lighthouse, theres a location where you can use the stylus to draw puzzles in the sand. If you draw a balloon, you'll get a golden balloon. If you draw a pentagon, you'll get a scratch card. If you draw a coin (small circle shape) you can get 10 coins, but you can do this up to four times.
Unfreeze the balloon
In the ice area of the overworld map theres a balloon stuck in a block of ice. Using the DS's touch screen pad, you can slide it down into the water to unfreeze it, then follow it down the river to the beach where it melted to collect it.
Wizpig Portrait In Log.
In the log, (Near where you start the game) is a picture of Wizpig. If you use your stylus to draw around the outline of the portrait, the wall will crumble and a small area will open up. In this area is a scratch card.
