Objectives
1
(Not required)
Enter the hole on the upper-east of the bonehead island, into the giant skull's earhole. Inside, you'll find 4 white pedestals set in a certain way. Remember this pattern and head back outside.

1, 3 and 4 should be up while 2 is down.
2
Go to the top west area using the lower part of the skull as a ledge to cross over.
3
Enter the west earhole and you'll find 4 copper pedestals. Hit them to make them mirror the east room and a cutscene will play.
1, 2 and 4 should be up, 3 should be down and flameless.
4
Hit the stone door to the east of the room to create a shortcut to the middle room, then hit the switch here to raise the skull on the back wall.
5 Head up the revealed stair and pass through the room to the southeast opening.
6
Slide straight down, between the skull's eyes, to land in the nose. Here, hit the Toad statue and check the inscription to start a cutscene.
7 Get back down and set sail. Go two squares north and one square west (F3) to find Crescent Island.
You will receive a notification that a new boat engine is available. If you return to Toad Town, a Toad will be waiting on the Dock, offering to upgrade the boat to double speed for 5,000 coins.

The Snifit here in Bonehead Island will sell you the Coin Step Counter, and it's the only location in the game where it is available. Although it's a pricy buy at 14,000 Coins, the Coin Step Counter will reward you with an amazing 10,000 Coin Bonus every 10,000 steps you take. This will continue paying off for the rest of the game, so be sure to grab it and equip it right away!

Remember that Accessories don't get cheaper with the Membership Card, so like it or not, this is the best price you're gonna get!
