Beans are some of the hardest items to find in the game, given their nature to blend in
with the rest of the environment. And though you may spot places where some are before
you earn the Mole Mario ability, I'm not going to start with the Dozing Sands.
Instead I'll begin with Pi'illo Blimport, or as is the case here, the areas directly
surrounding Pi'illo Castle. There are six Beans to find here so let's get to it.
Go left of entrance to Pi'illo Castle. You'll find a Bros. Bean near a Zeekeeper statue
with a purple gate. Head north to the next area. A Bros. Bean
is buried in the corner section of the lake. In the dirt patch nearby you can find a Defense
Bean. Run past the entrance to Mount Pajamaja to
find the fourth and fifth Beans buried in the dirt patches on the other side.

find the fourth and fifth Beans buried in the dirt patches on the other side.
Go south into the next area and you'll immediately spot the final Bean in the Blimport.
It can be a little tricky to find all 22 Beans in Mushrise Park since there are multiple
paths to get around. This may not be the best order, but this will net you all the Beans.
The first Bean can be found on your right as soon as you enter from Dozing Sands. Go
through the gate to find the next Bean in a dirt patch near the breakable rock.
In the area with the Pi'illo Castle lookout, go right into the next area while on the cliff.
On the other side you'll come across a Defense Bean.
Go south to the area with the broken Zeekeeper fountain. You'll find the fourth Bean in a
patch of flowers near the cobblestone path. Head towards the fountain and you can find
the next Bean near the two Toads. The next four Beans are all clumped together
in a clearing south of Brickle's Hut. Go back to the fountain area and take the
northeastern path. In the curved section, you'll find the tenth Bean.
You'll find the next Bean near the eastern exit of the area where you first found the
Hammers. In the same area, south of the small bridge,
is a red Yoshi. And next to him is a Power Bean.
Head back down south to the fountain area. The thirteenth Bean is near the south exit
on the left side. The next few Beans can't be obtained until
you help Brickle clear rocks. You'll find it in the northeastern corner of the southern
area. Go to the other area with all the rocks that
need destroyed and use the ball jump to get on top of a hill with a Mario Block and a
Question Block. Directly below those are two more Beans.
Continue right to find the seventeenth Bean near the breakable rock.
Head to the southwestern corner of the area to find a small section filled with clovers.
In the center of them is a dirt patch with the next Bean.
Return to the fountain area and use the ball jump to get on the western cliff. You'll immediately
see the Bean Spot. Go west across the bridge and you'll come
across a Speed Bean. The next bean is found in the area right before
Somnom Woods. You need to use the ball jump to reach it.
The final Bean (and I know I'm dumb for missing this one for so long) is in the area before
heading south to Dozing Sands. It's right next to a Toad and a red sign.
Dozing Sands is where you'll first start the Bean hunt since that is where you learn the
Mole Mario ability. It also has the most Beans to find at 32.
The first Bean you find in Dozing Sands is automatic since it's part of the Mole Mario
tutorial. The next one is south of the sand flow in
the tutorial area. In the area where the Drilldigger is introduced,
you can find a Bros. Bean on the left side of the tracks.
Go to the right side of the track to find a Speed Bean.
The fifth Bean is directly below the first Gatekeeper Pi'illo you rescue.
In the same area, head to the southern edge on the right side to find a Bean near some
cacti. Head west into the next area and return on
foot to the bridge. Just below it is a Power Bean.
Travel up to the northernmost green panel to find the eighth Bean nearby.
Keep going north to get to the next area and find another Bean next to some discarded machinery.
Jump up onto the cliffs and follow them to the right to find a series of Beans, including
a Heart Bean, a Speed Bean, and a Power Bean. In the dead end area with the speed panel,
get off the Drilldigger and go left to find the next Bean.
After launching yourself into the far left area with the speed panel, get off the Drilldigger
once again and head toward the bridge. You'll find a Bean north of the track.
Continue along the wall until you see some trashed equipment near a cactus. There you'll
find the fifteenth Bean. Reveal the Pi'illo in the northern area. Next
to it you'll find two Beans. Head directly south on the left side of the
track to get a Defense Bean. Next go to the northwestern section of this
area to dig for the next Bean. You'll find another Bean on the eastern side
of the area, just above the Question Block. Cross the tracks and go into the bottom right
corner to get the next Bean. After Torkscrew clears a path to the right
side of Dozing Sands, follow him into the curved area. Hop off the Drilldigger and go
down to find the twenty-second Bean. Jump onto the nearby cliff on the left side
and follow it to the previous area. There you'll find another Bean.
After rescuing all four Gatekeeper Pi'illos, you'll find yourself on top of the cliff near
the lake. Before jumping down, go south to find a Heart Bean.
The next Bean is found to the left of the Dreampoint Altar.
As you go to leave Dozing Sands, you'll find one on the far eastern corner of the area
with the Badge Shop. In the next area, you'll see a Bean point
above you as soon as you enter. When you reach the shop at the entrance to
Dozing Sands, head south to find a Power Bean among the clovers.
After you obtain the ball jump ability, go to the area right of the Dreampoint Altar.
You'll find another Bean in the sand pit. Next go to the top of the cliff above to find
a Speed Bean next to a Question Block. In the next area, you'll find another Bean
on a cliff. The final Bean can be found in the cave, on
the northern edge. Wakeport is home to only twelve Beans, most
of which can't be obtained until the second visit. But it should be rather easy to complete.
The first Bean can be found as soon as you enter Wakeport. It's on top of the center
hill. The second one is in the city entrance, left
of the Hoohooligan lovers. Go south to the next area and find a yellow
Yoshi standing under a canopy. Walk under it to find the Heart Bean on the other side.
To find the fourth Bean, go into the alley between the Equipment and Badge Stores.
When you gain the ball jump ability, return to Wakeport and go to the area just outside
the city. Use the ball jump to get on top of the stone tower and obtain the Bean.
Walk over to the left tower and use the ball jump there to get another Bean.
You can get two more Beans when you rescue the Pi'illo locked behind the gate near the
switch puzzle. After defeating the boss in Wakeport, head
to the northern end to find two Beans. Directly south of those, near the platform
you have to ball jump on is a Defense Bean. The final Bean in Wakeport can be found in the
grassy area to right of Pi'illoper's second floor entrance.
Only ten Beans can be found in Driftwood Shore. The first of which is found in the northwestern
corner of the area to the left of Broque Madame's shop.
The next is between her shop and the warp pipe.
In the area with Seabelle's Dreampoint, go to the upper right corner. You can find a
Bean there next to the second orange platform. South of that one, next to the blue platform
is a Bros. Bean. The area left of Seadric's Dreampoint hides
two Beans, both of which are on the other side of some cliffs in the northern section.
Go north to the next area to find a Bean on the southwestern beachfront.
In the same area, use your drill jump to get through a blocked hole in the northeast. On
the other side you'll find a Stache Bean. The final two Beans can be found in the secret
cave. They're in the sand pit below the ring puzzle.
There are likely two locations that will trip you up the most when searching for all the
Beans. The first is Mount Pajamaja, which has 24 hidden within it.
The first is in the spin jump tutorial area. On the raised cliff in the southern section,
use the spin jump to make your way to an off-screen platform.
When you reach the fork with the first two Mega Pi'illos, head right again and use the
manual lift. At the top, spin jump to the platform to your north. You'll see one right
away, but there's actually two here. Something I missed for quite some time.
In the area where the Massif Bros. teach you how to use air vents, head immediately left
to find a Power Bean. After using the first vent, go into the left
area to find another Bean at the southwestern edge.
When you reach the sheer wall with all the air currents, go right on the bottommost part
to find the sixth Bean. In the same area, ride the air currents to
the western cliffs then use the vent to travel up the platforms. Jump down along them to
find two more Beans. Once you get the drill jump, return once more
to the right path of the Mega Pi'illos. Go all the way to the eastern side area and use
the spin jump to cross the gap. There you'll find another Power Bean.
Continue up the mountain until you see the second manual lift. Instead of using it, go
down into the area below and use the drill jump to make it past the spikes. On the other
side you'll find two more Beans. Once you reach the snowy section of the mountain,
go right of the strange fountain to find the twelfth Bean.
Continue on until you help the Massif Bros. clear ice spikes with their spin jump. On
the eastern edge you should spot two more Beans.
You'll find two more once you complete the second section involving the Massif Bros.
spike clearing. Before reaching the snowtop where the other
two Mega Pi'illos are, go right along the topmost path into the next area to find a
Defense Bean. After completing the Mount Pajamaja Dreampoint,
go north to the top of the platform to find two Beans.
When you return to the mountain to learn the Ball Jump ability, you'll find a Heart Bean
and a Power Bean on the top platform of the tutorial area.
Continue along the path to the treasure until you reach a warp pipe. Go right into the next
area and navigate the platforming section to find the twenty-second Bean at the top.
Return to the sheer cliff with all the air currents on the left side. Reach the top to
find a series of metal platforms that can only be climbed with the ball jump ability.
Solve the ring puzzle at the top to open the door and receive the next Bean.
Finally, in the area to the north of the Boss fight arena, use the ball jump to reach a
platform on the right and obtain the final Bean.
The other location that will likely give you trouble in your hunt for Beans is Somnom Woods.
The heavy vegetation and shadowed areas can make the 19 Beans hidden here hard to spot.
The first can be found as soon as you enter Somnom Woods.
In the next area, before using the drill jump to unlock the path ahead, there's an obscured
Bean in the bottom right corner. It is extremely easy to miss if you're not actively scanning
the ground. In the area after Bedsmith's house, navigate
the platforms above the poison water to get to the right side. Head into the southern
corner to find a Heart Bean. Keep going right until you reach an area with
two paths leading north. The fourth Bean can be seen as soon as you enter.
The next Bean is in the same area, right next to the Attack Block.
After reaching upper Somnom Woods, take the bottom right path on the Somnom Stone tracks.
You'll find a Bean near the exit on the other side, on a crescent moon-shaped platform.
Take the middle right path to find a Speed Bean in the second circular section.
In the upper left path, work your way through the platforming section to get to the exit
on the other side. Immediately before leaving you'll find the ninth Bean.
Keep going left into the cave to find a Defense Bean in the dirt, a Speed Bean in the grassy
section to the north, and a Heart Bean between them.
In the upper right area, you'll find another Bean near the Nommon's who want to play the
ring mini-game. The final set of Beans can be found on the
upper left circular platform before the Dreampoint. There's six in total: two Defense Beans, two
Bros. Beans, and two Power Beans. The final area contains 18 Beans, all of which
are in small sand pits. The first of these can be found during Kamek's maze. Go through
the blue circle door to get to the right side. Use the ball jump to get on the upper section
and find the Bean. Before going to the second level of the castle,
go left at the lift to find two more Beans. In Kamek's second maze, go to the left area
and travel down to the southwest corner. There you'll find a sand pit with two Beans.
In the area with the long horizontal bomb track that you have to navigate, take the
far right exit on the other side. At the end of the dead end you'll find a Stache Bean
and a Speed Bean. After using the bombs to bring down the gate
on the far left side, head there to find another sand pit with two Beans.
When you reach the floor that has the dream flames blocking your path, take the bottom
left path and continue down until you find yourself on a balcony. You'll spot two Beans
nearby. Travel across the balcony to the right exit
to find a sand pit with the twelfth and thirteenth Beans inside.
Go through the exit to the next area and navigate the flamethrowers to reach the other side.
There you'll find the next two Beans in separate sand pits.
Head north and take the right exit to find yourself on another balcony. In the northernmost
section you'll find a Power Bean. Go south of the exit to find the next Bean.
Make your way to the balcony on the left side and go south of the right exit to find the
final Bean in both the castle and the game.
