Walkthrough **wkth** World 1 - 1 **w1-1** Time: 500 seconds Head west, climb the platforms, and there is a mushroom between two blocks. Shortly after that, there is the first star coin. After that, there is some more music notes and a hit-able question block, it has a fire flower in it, if you haven't already lost your mushroom. Continue heading west, there is a block above some platforms that you can hit multiple times for multiple coins, after that, you get the block collecting tons of coins. There is some music blocks along the route, and then the mid-point. Continue heading west you will see more music notes, and the second coin surrounded by bricks. Just after, there is a brick in the ground, ground pound it, and you will enter a secret area. Inside...? Found out yourself. Once outside again, you should be able to use this same pipe to go to a secret area above the clouds, hit the P block and run and collect the third star coin. If you want more coins after falling, which I'm sure you do, head to the left of the pipe you just came out of, and there will be another brick on the ground. Ground pound it, and get those lovely coins. Above the platforms just to the left of the ground brick, is another brick that will net you more money than Bill Gates. Head to the right, and soon you will be at the end. World 1-2 **w1-2** Time: 500 seconds Head right, hit the pow block, jump up and to the right, so some coins fall down, collect them, and run into the pipe. Once you hit rock bottom, use a ground pound, and collect the coins. Continue to the right, where you have to jump a gap, and there will be lots of bricks and two POW blocks. Hit the first one to expose a big coin. Hit the second one to gain access to the star coin. Continue heading east, you'll see some platforms going up, go past those, you'll see some going down, go past those. There will be a POW block go ahead and nail it. Head down and start throwing some fireballs into the pipe if you got the ability to do so. Out pops a giant mushroom. Stomp those grounds east like you own the place. Past the midway point, all the way till you find another star coin. Just to the right of the platforms heading down, is some bricks, hop up on them and continue to head right. You'll find a POW block, go ahead and use it. Then take the pipe up. Here, hit the POW block again, and jump up on the solid blocks, and run to the flag. World 1-3 **w1-3** Time: 500 seconds Slide down and take out the two Goombas. Over the pit, is some blocks. One contains a leaf (if you're big), head up into the trees nearby to collect some more coins. Continue heading to the right past the two Goomba pipes, you'll hit the mid way point. Shortly after is a red circle, head into it, the eight red coins will parachute from the sky to the right, so keep an eye on the sky. After that just to the right is a star coin behind a brick wall, if you still have the raccoon leaf then you can smash through it. There is a pipe on the tree to the left of where the red circle is that takes you to a secret area, where another star coin is. Fail or succeed, once you fall back down, head to the right to continue, shortly after you fall, you will find the flag for the end. World 1-Castle 1 **w1-c1** Time: 500 seconds So we got some creepy lookin "dry" characters. Deal with them as you see fit, and head up. Eventually you'll run into a red circle. Collect it if you must, then if you want the star coin head left. If you go right, you'll be stuck and you'll have to redo the level. After the star coin, is the mid-point. Continuing up you'll come across another star coin with a "dry" piranha plant nearby. After the coin, there is some green moving platforms creating a circle. Follow them up, and there is the boss door. Well if this doesn't scream SNES! For those familiar with this, you know what to do. For those who aren't, simply hit the blocks under the triceratops. Done! Secret to Cannon level: Through the hole in the right side of the room with the roulette coin block. World 1-4 **w1-4** Time: 400 seconds Shortly after the start, you will find your first star coin. Also our first gold ring, turning everything gold. It is only for a limited amount of time, so make it count. You'll eventually come to a blue pipe sticking out of the clouds. Head up there and to the right, you'll find the second star coin of the level. You'll land right next to the mid-point. Shortly after that you'll come across a red circle, use it if you want. The last coin will be on a parachute. Shortly after that, you'll come across four sets of bricks. These bricks have a hidden block between the bottom two sets. It'll spawn a stalk, so climb the stalk on up, and hit the P block. Climb up to find the third star coin. Once you go back down, and head right, there will be another gold circle. Go ahead and use it, then shortly after that little gold collection bit, is the end flag. World 1-5 **w1-5** Time: 500 seconds Head all the way to the right and past the pipe to make some coins appear once you collect them, head down the pipe. Head to the right, there will be some cheep cheep swimming around a block, if you're big you'll get a Fire Flower, it is useful under the water. A little further to the right, and you'll get a star coin. Further still is a gold pipe, head in and you'll see your next star coin. Be careful however, because there is a jet stream that will drag you down, it is do-able, but be careful. When done head up the green pipe. You'll come right out next to the mid-point. Continue past the circling cheep cheep, and the blue follower cheep cheep. You'll see some more cheep cheep in a half circle, (the other half is under the screen) there is a little nitch in the top right, go up there to find a secret spot to find the third star coin in the level. Drop down and continue to the right. You'll reach a dead end, go up the pipe. Up and out, head right up one and then two blocks and then finally the flag. World 1-A **w1-A** Time: 500 seconds How to get here: Spend 5 Star Coins From the start head to the right, you'll see a door blocked off by bricks. Ground pound till you reach the bottom. You'll see a star coin floating there for you to take. Head out the other door and head into the pipe that you see. Once you're shot out continue to the right. You'll find another pipe that'll launch you up to a mid-point. From the mid-point, head back to the left, and wall jump up and over to the left of the green pipe. At the bottom, head to the right and drop down the one way hatch. At the bottom you'll find a gold circle, hit the Koopa to get lots of coins. Continue to the right, and you'll see another gold circle. Continue to the right, and you'll find yet another pipe to launch you. Continue to the right and head down. You'll see a star coin, head to the left, but not so much the door bars you from getting the star coin, just enough to let the other door swing back up. Continue going down, you'll see two plants to the left, take out the closest one, and head down into the pipe. Upon entering you'll see a gold circle, grab the golden Koopa, and throw it at the plants ahead to get so much gold, then exit. When you exit, head to the right, you found your flag for the level. World 1-Castle 2 **w1-c2** Time: 500 seconds You got a rope above your head, use it to shimmy to the right. Stop and time your movements with the stuff that falls, or comes up from the lava. The rope will end, there is a brick, if you're a big guy it'll be a leaf. Continue right and you'll find more rope. You'll find a star coin, there is a small platform that will come up from the lava, but you better be quick, it doesn't stick around long. A little further to the right is a platform with a dry bones on it. Just past this platform is some moving ones that alternate going up and down. Breeze past those, and you've got yourself a mid-point. After the mid-point is a one of those brick coin helmets that spew out more money than any one person would know what to do with. Jump on the rope and head right, you'll run into a thwomp so be careful. Past that is another, and then a rope. Use the rope to reach the next platform. You'll come to another leaf if you're a big guy and a rope just after that. Dodge the thwomp and once you do that, you'll see a huge thwomp. Guess the other ones could have been thwimps, eh? Any ways, there is another star coin, and a set of blue doors. All the way to the right of those doors is a secret item. Head in when ready. First Koopaling, he'll charge you right at the beginning of the fight. Dodge him or jump on him if you can successfully plant one on him. He'll get into his shell, dodge it. The walls will close in. Now if this isn't your first Mario game, then this isn't your first rodeo. Proceed as usual. If this is your first rodeo... I mean Mario game, then just jump on him when he pops out, and dodge the shell, three times. Once finished you'll get a key. Proceed to the next world. World 2-1 **w2-1** Time: 500 seconds Head right, if you're big the question block will merit you a fire flower. About a third of the way in, you'll find a red circle. The coins will parachute between the right and left of where the circle is. A bit further will have some alternating platforms with a piranha plant under then, to the right of this is the mid-point. After the mid-point there is a gold pipe, head in to get a gold flower. This turns you gold and allows you to shoot gold, continue to the right, you'll see a star coin, but just continue blasting things into gold. Go up the pipe, and come out still blingin. You'll have two sets of revolving platforms after you've gotten past those you'll have the flag and lose your bling. World 2-2 **w2-2** Time: 500 seconds Head to the right and you'll eventually find a gold ring. You should already know how to use this, a little further is a star coin. You'll jump over a fairly large platform and then mid-point. Further to the right you'll jump over another large platform and a red circle is a little further. All the coins are doin normal coin things. There will be a free guy under the hammer brother. Head up when you're ready. Once you're at the top there will be a star coin to the left. All the way to the right is the flag. World 2-3 **w2-3** Time: 500 seconds Head right and into the pipe, you're gonna want to ground pound so you don't get smushed by the moving wall. Continue to the right, grab the beetle if you must, you may need something on these revolving platforms. Once all the way across You'll have a trampoline and the mid-point. Get the items above you, and continue to the right. Try to use the beetle to the top right on the POW block. It'll get rid of the bricks and open up the second pipe. Use the bottom of the two pipes and head left and down past all the piranha plants. You'll find a star coin, now head through the little door and into the pipe. Out the other side, grab the beetle and head to the top left of the block cluster, there you'll find a POW block. Let the beetle do its job and collect your next star coin. Shortly after is a red circle. Collect the coins if you want, after words, see the block cluster to the upper right? Use the moving platforms to gain a little speed and climb up there, continue to climb and you'll get the third star coin. Use the green pipe that you land next to and it'll launch you. Once outside, run to the right and jump and run some more, and you'll get to the flag. World 2-A **w2-A** Time: 500 seconds How to get here: Spend 5 Star Coins Continue to the right, riding the platforms, eventually you'll come to a platform that heads to the left, hop on it and it'll bring you to a star coin. Ride the platform back to the right, and soon enough you'll come to another star coin, be ready to run and jump to get the star coin. Just after that is the mid-point. Continue to the right, and ride the platforms, once you're on a really long one, be ready to jump for the flag. World 2-Castle 1 **w2-c1** Time: 600 seconds You've got some alternating platforms above you, so head up that way. Your first star coin is to the left. Further up there will be a giant dry bones and a coin block, the good kind. Just past that is the mid way point. Continue going up and you have a door on the left. Inside that door and all the way to the top left is another star coin. Exit through the door. Continue your journey up, up and beyond to find two "dry" goombas and some not so nice spikes from the ceiling. You could wall hop here on the left side, and towards the top is... you guessed it the third star coin. Head into those orange red doors. Again another SNES classic among us. Dispatch them quickly! World 2-Ghost House **w2-gh** Time: 400 seconds We have ourselves some tricky blocks in this level! You try to hit the block and it dodges. You'll come to a door, head in. Once through a giant boo that looks like it was from the Casper movies will appear you can look at it to keep it at bay. Pretty soon you'll find a star coin. After that one and just a bit further you'll be on a platform that requires weight to go down, go down and you'll get the next star coin. A bit further will result in a red circle, the coins do normal things, no commando coins this time. Further still is a really wobbly platform just after that is the door out of here. Head down the flight of stairs ignoring the doors, because they are all fake, the real door is behind the pressure platform. Once it is down, head in. There you have it, you found the flag. World 2-4 **w2-4** Time: 500 seconds Head right you'll find a random block. Hit it and take what it gives you, further still is a question block with a star in it. If you're big, gain a little speed and hit down to get past the block. Just above you and to the right is a star coin. At the top and to the right of the pyramid is the mid-point. Continue right until you see two rows of coins heading down, there is a pipe there, head in. Out the other side and on the platform run and dash to the flag. World 2-B **w2-B** Time: 500 seconds How to get here:A little way beyond the second Star Coin you will see two pillars. On the left side of the pit, there is a hidden block containing a beanstalk. Climb up to find the secret exit. So, the thing to be careful about here is the commando bobombs. You'll see a star coin in bricks, use the bobomb to get the coin.Just after that is the mid-point. Just after the mid-point, you'll see some cannons. After the second one, and high into the air is a star coin. If you have a tail, fly up there, if not, try to gain some speed and jump from the cannon to a bobomb to reach it. Just after that there is a red circle with commando coins, just continue to the right, and you'll see all the coins. Just after that, you'll see some cannons, use the bobombs to get to the top of the flag pole. World 2-5 **w2-5** Time: 400 seconds Head right but watch out for the bow wows, which are the main enemies in this level. Eventually you'll reach the mid-point. Shortly after the mid-point, you'll find a boomerang brother, then a red circle. Four of the eight are just below the platforms, the other four are gonna be parachuting in. Then the flag with a boomerang brother. World 2-Castle 2 **w2-c2** Time: 500 seconds There is a "boat" waiting for you. Hop on and it begins to move. You'll have some uninvited guest drop in shortly after the ride begins. The ride ends every time you jump. Which is a good thing... Soon enough you'll see your first star coin. Then some Thwomps will drop straight into the lava. Mid-point. Hop on the new "boat", the question block you see before you contains a trampoline. Collect it so you can collect the next star coin. After that coin, there is a red circle. Then there will be a red pipe, that pipe will contain the next star coin. Once you poop out, you'll be next to the blue doors that contain the Koopaling. On the far right is a secret item, if you need it, collect it, then head in. So this fight has the Koopaling surfing the arena on a giant Bow Wow. I think this has been done before. He can surf it under ground, so nail him when he comes back up. He can also go straight up off the screen. Instead of curling up in his little shell, the Bow Wow will get red and run around. Three hits and it's the end of the battle. Collect the key and head to the next world. World 3-1 **w3-1** Time: 500 seconds To the right, again, just past the barrel you'll find a gold circle. Watch out for the cheep cheep when they jump from the water. A bit further and you'll see another barrel, above these three barrels is a star coin. Chances are, if you don't have the leaf, you're going to need to strategically jump onto a cheep cheep and collect the big coin. Just to the right of that is a platform, the block on the far right will have something pop out of it, smash it to have coins shower down from the nearby pipe. A littler further more and you will find the mid-point. Where the rotating platform is you can see a question block, once the piranha plant heads back in bounce off the pipe, and collect the next star coin. A little tiny bit further and you have another gold circle. A little bit further and you will see some pipes and two barrels in between these pipes. The second barrel has behind it the third star coin, just stand on it, and it'll lower itself. Another gold ring right after the third star coin. At the very end is a pipe hop on in, out the other side you can run and jump for the flag. There are a few jumpin cheep cheep if you can't make it there on your own merit. World 3-2 **w3-2** Time: 500 seconds Head into the red pipe. Out the other side, be careful of the whirlpool. Soon enough you'll see a star coin in a whirlpool. Careful when trying to obtain it. Shortly after that, you'll see a pipe in which you can shoot some fireballs into. You'll see some multicolored pipes then the mid-point. You'll see a yellow pipe, it has a green platform above it moving side to side. It also has two jet streams on the left and right sides of it, hop in there. Inside you'll find the next star coin. Down in the bottom right is a pink exit pipe. After the exit there is a P block, hit it and collect the coins. Careful however, because there is three homing cheep cheep that will chase you, so unless you have a fire flower or two, you're going to want to swim to you are sick of swimming. A little further and you will find the third star coin. Soon after you will find the blue exit pipe. Jump up and to the left if you want a free guy. Then run to the right for the flag. World 3-3 **w3-3** Time: 400 seconds Right away notice the poison water below you. If caught in a spider web, it will disappear when you jump. Use the webs to cross some of the levels poison waters, you'll see a red exclamation block, hit it and then head to the yellow pipe just to the left. Here the middle block has what you want. Hit the thing that pops out, hurry to the left to get the first star coin, then hurry back to the safe land and exit via the yellow exit pipe. Soon after is the mid-point. If you head up from the mid-point, you'll find a red circle and four webs. Each web will have two of the eight red coins. Continuing to the right, you'll find a two spiders and some webs, and to the top right is a gold pipe, head in there, jump on the spider if you need help getting into the gold pipe. Again another timed event for that second star coin. If you don't have the leaf, you may want to time it just right with the spider to get it. Once you leave, there will be a few webs, that is where the third star coin is. After collecting it, head up, when you can't go up any more, head to the right, and you will find the flag. World 3-A **w3-A** Time: 400 Seconds How to get here: Spend 5 Star Coins Head into the pipe. With the current dragging you away, you wont have much freedom to do things. When the path starts to split stay towards the top, it'll take you to a star coin. After this you'll come to a pipe, head on in. Head down the little hole that's in the bottom left, continue to the right, you'll see a switch in the top and a star coin at the bottom. Hit the switch and hurry to collect the star coin. Continue to the right, you'll see some cheep cheep circling a question block, the contents of which are a starman. Head up through the top, and you'll pop out next to a mid-point. Head up the pipe right by the mid-point. More currents, they'll push you up, then to the right, stay low and you'll run into a red circle. If you have a gold flower, head to the top, you can find a pipe that is blocked off with bricks. But continue to the right, you'll find another star coin. At the end of the ride, you'll find a pipe, head into it and on the exit, run to get to the flag. World 3-Castle 1 **w3-c1** Time: 500 seconds If you're big, the question block will supply you with a fire flower, because those are just super useful in the water. Head into the pipe and upon exit, head up be careful of the dry fish. You'll see some spiked edges, but just to the right of one of these spiked spots is a star coin. Shortly after that is the mid-point, just keep going up the middle and don't deviate from the middle. Continue going the only possible way, and try not to get smashed, I'm not rewriting the beginning of this level for you. You'll come across a red circle. The coins are in a jet stream, lucky you. You'll be pushed to one side, simply head up (or down if you're on the left side) and let the jet stream push you, if you missed any coins, hurry and go up or down to collect the remaining coins. After all is said and done, there will be more spiked squishers near you. There will be a little reprieve in the middle till the screen catches up. When the crushers do their thing and retract, head on up and exit via pipe. When ready head into the double doors. Again, take out the triceratops the only way you know how. Secret to the Cannon: Near the beginning, when the giant spikes appear, there are two small square blocks that move up and then separate in opposite directions. As Mini Mario, follow the right block and go into the small pipe. There's still a way to go to reach the exit - just be careful to avoid the dry fish and make your way up. World 3-4 **w3-4** Time: 500 seconds So just after the caterpillar is a gold brick helmet and a floating crate. A little further still you will find a red circle. Four of the eight are to your left, the other four will parachute to the right and across the poison water. Shortly after you will find your first star coin. Continue till you can't go any more and go through the red pipe. Upon exiting you will find the mid-point. This part of the level you will have rising poisonous water, so keep the high grounds in mind. Soon enough you will see the next star coin under the ground, you'll want to be quick when you obtain it. Just after that is the third star coin, gonna have to wall jump, but jump back on a floaty if you don't think you can make it through before the poison rises back. Head above the land mass and enter into the green pipe, that'll bring you to the flag. World 3-B **3w-B** Time: 400 seconds How to get here: Instead of going up in 3-4, head down timing things with the poison to reach the pipe. Head to the right, and collect the mini-mushroom. Then head to the right and head into the yellow pipe. Continue to the right, being careful to not hit anything. You'll eventually come across a pipe at the top, head in. Hop on the bullet bill and when you reach the end just drop. You'll land next to the mid-point, head in to the pipe when ready. You'll see a red circle, no the coins don't do any thing crazy this time around. Try to hit the P-switch, it'll make things a little easier. Eventually you'll find an exit pipe. If you're looking for Star Coins head into the red pipe at the beginning instead of the yellow one. World 3-Ghost House **w3-gh** Time: 500 seconds More of them tricky blocks, continue to the right. When your entourage is done taking you over the cliff, head into the door. Hop on the platform and ride it up, don't jump to the next one just yet there is a star coin at the apex of this ride. Then once you come to the next platform jump to it, and do the same for the last one. The last one will take you up to a set of doors, head into the top one. With two platforms and a red circle, the platforms will stay next to each other till the walls expand, so too will the coins. The last coin you're going to have to take a leap of faith to obtain. Head into the door, upon exiting you have platforms with some ghost who may or may not love you. They will take you up to the top, you can find a couple of doors and the next star coin. The door we want is directly to the right of the star coin. Once you go through the door, you will be on some platforms, take the biggest one straight to the top it will have a door there. Once out side do the Mario thing and get to the top of the flag pole. World 3-5 **w3-5** Time: 500 seconds Head to the pipe and head in. If you're lucky enough to have a golden flower, blast the bricks above the pink pipe and head in. If not, don't worry about it, you're not losing out of the star coin. Continue until you have to go up at an angle, be careful of the rolling boulder. You'll see a star coin, continue till you see a boulder coming at you, it'll smash through the wall so you can have your precious. If you hit the P block follow the coins. Where they end you'll see a yellow pipe, head in. You'll find the next big coin, but it moves away from you. It doesn't like you. But you have to deal with the bloopers then it'll stop after the long line of pipes. Head up the yellow exit pipe. Mid-point to the left, after you hit it, run to the right you'll see a red circle, the coins here swim, so have fun with that. Continue on up you'll be chased by a few bloopers, take them out if you have the means too, if not continue till you see some boulders, that'll take care of your problem. But the giant one will also open up the last star coin for you. Continue till you get to the yellow exit pipe. You have found the flag for this level. World 3-Castle 2 **w3-c2** Time: 600 seconds So, head to the right, watch out for the saw blades that are jutting out of every spot. Once you've reached the end, head up. You'll find a star coin to the left, timing is everything. Continue going up and you'll find a door, head in. Mid-point. Continue to the right and a giant buzz saw will begin to chase you. Dodge it, after that little fiasco is the second star coin. A little bit further and you have to deal with a few more saw blades, you're going to have to be quick and nimble to get past them, leaves help. After you get past those you'll see the blue double doors. So this Koopaling brings the levels suggestive theme to the battle, water. She'll whistle and the water level will rise. Avoid her while the water is this high. Cheep Cheep will go from one pipe to the other. Then the water level will lower. She may whistle and some more cheep cheep can appear. But with the water level this low, try to hit her. Three times. After that collect the key and proceed to world 4. World 4-1 **w4-1** Time: 400 seconds Yes the tiny goombas will hinder progress. So don't let them get on you. If you get one on you just jump repeatedly. Dodge the rolling boulders there is an indent in the ground for the second one, if you are a little on the slow side, you could make use if this handy dandy bunker. Continuing we have a star coin, and a rope. If you're not gutsy then shimmy across the rope and ignore the star coin. A tad bit further and you have a boulder taking out your foes, eat that! After that you have the mid-point. To the top right, you have a star coin. You'll see two question blocks, stay on them tll the boulder comes past you. As you head up, there will be more boulders coming down. Dodge them by use the platforms, at the top of the mountain and to the top left is a small secret tunnel with the third star coin. To the right is where there is a gold circle. Hit one of the turtles and let er rip. Slide down the hill after it, so that way when it hits the dead end it's not going to hurt you. Stay till the boulder passes and continue to the flag. World 4-A **w4-A** Time: 400 seconds How to get here: Spend 5 Star Coins. Right away you see a star coin, but you can't get it just yet, a little further down you'll see some bricks you can ground pound through. Then head left to obtain the coin. Continue to the right and you'll come across a red circle. The coins don't do anything special. Stay on the low end, and head into the green pipe, right next to the blue one. You'll be launched, once you're done here, head down and you'll land next to the mid-point. A bit further and you'll see a pipe in the sky, run on the platform below it and jump to obtain a star coin. Just past this, you'll see a question block and a brick, out pops a mini-mushroom, chase after it because you'll eventually see that to obtain the last star coin of this level, you're going to need it. Just after that is the flag. World 4-Ghost House **w4-gh** Time: 400 seconds Go to the right and ignore the first door you see, instead head up the stairs to find a second door, that's the one to use. Head down and quickly jump back up, silly boos tricks are for kids! As the wall begins to separate hurry down the stairs, at the bottom, the first door you see is a fake you'll see two question blocks, jump on them and then jump up and to the left, since this whole shin dig is now moving to the right. You'll find the first star coin. Head back down, and the scene will go to the left again, so you'll find a red circle, collect the coins and then you'll get an arrow going down, do as it suggests. Once you've reached the bottom, follow it to the right, you'll find a blue P block, hit it. Follow the coins, if you hurry and scale the floors, you'll get the second star coin. Continue to scale the floors and you will come to a door. That is your exit. Get up to the flag pole. World 4-B **w4-B** Time: 400 Seconds How to get here: When the screen goes back to the left and then starts going right again, you'll see two ?-Blocks. Jump off to the right as the wall pushes you, and wall-kick up to reach the hidden door above. Head into the near by pipe. You'll eventually see a star coin. To get it, just climb over it, then follow the little glowy enemies. A little further, and you'll find a red circle, four coins are stationary, the other four will parachute on in. Just after that is the mid-point. Take the first pipe you see for some extra coins. Other wise, continue to the right where you'll see some bricks going down, ground pound them and slide down, you'll come to a stop, and above you will be a star coin. Head up then to the right you'll see a star coin, just wait on the donut till it drops, then quickly hop off once you have the coin. Just after that is a pipe to which you can leave the area. You found the flag for the area. World 4-2 **w4-2** Time: 400 seconds Well continue to the right, and before you know it you'll find the first star coin. Further still past many many piranha plant pipes, you will see a set of piranha plant pipes that point down with some coins between them going vertically (thats up and down for those of you who don't know what that means), there is a free guy up there, just wall/pipe jump up there. Then just to the right you'll find the mid-point. Jump over the tall pipe then there will be a small one take out the plant inside, then head inside. Hit the beetle and send it on its way, follow it, and be quick, otherwise you'll botch up your attempt to get the next star coin. But if you're skilled in the Mario way, you can wall jump to get it. Out the other side of the exit pipe, there is a gold circle to the right. After you've gotten a bit more richer, there will be some pipes with piranha plants in them, take them out, or just hop over them, you'll see the third star coin for the level. Just after that is the flag for the level. World 4-Castle 1 **w4-c1** Time: 500 seconds You have a platform below you rising, let it take you up. Eventually it will reach a point of no return, and a "dry" piranha plant will ride with you, no one rides for free... just above you will be a beetle, hit it and throw it at the free loader. Before you get rid of it, there will be two more dry piranha plants, use it to dispatch them and collect the star coin. You'll eventually make it to a door head inside. Mid-point! Enter the other door, and another platform will appear below you it too will make you rise. You have a fireball pipe to the left, then another to the right. You'll have a beetle to work with. Collect it, and wait for the dry plants to show up, take em out with the beetle. You can collect another star coin. At top of the ride is another door, head in. Jump in the portal and be launched higher than Syria's space program, which is non existent as of the writing of this, and head into the double doors. A set of rotating platforms this time, easy peasy, take them out. World 4-C **W4-C** Time: 500 Seconds How to get here: Enter the pipe to the left of the Giant Dry Piranha Plant near the end of the stage. Wait for the Dry Piranha Plant to retreat, or use the Starman (collected by throwing fireballs into the right-hand pipe halfway up) to destroy it before climbing inside. Go up the pipe in the next room to find yourself at the secret flag. Follow the coins down the rabbit hole, Alice. Hit the POW blocks along the way, you'll come to one with a track above it, in a half circle, don't hit the POW blocks here yet, get the star coin above them. Just past this is the mid-point. Continue to the right and up the platforms, but move left, you'll see a giant one of them black critters, just past him is a pipe. Inside is a star coin, once you have obtained it, head through the pipe on the right. You'll land right next to the big ugly mother heffer, continue to the right taking whatever platforms you need to take. Eventually you'll have to go up, then head to the right. Instead of going to the pipe that you see, wait for the big ugly on the right to go into the left hole. Then climb up the wall on the right to obtain a star coin. Then head back down and into the pipe. You've found the flag. World 4-3 **w4-3** Time: 400 seconds Just to the right of the starting point there is a gold circle. slide down the hill till you stop, you'll find a star coin. Just after that is a red circle, the coins will parachute in. After the coin brigade, is the mid-point. Just after that you'll find the second star coin. Climb up the slippery icy platforms, once at the top you'll find a P block, hit it and coins appear, slide down the slippery slide, and jump to the first land mass you see to the right, as it is the only way to obtain the third star coin. Once down on solid ground, there will be a giant piranha plant, take it out or jump over it, and climb the ice sculpture and get to the flag. World 4-4 **w4-4** Time: 400 seconds Continue to the right till you see the platform that is held in place by the equal one, and a bunch of coins going in a vertical line. Ride the right one down and jump up to the left one as quickly as possible to obtain a star coin. Continue to the right and you'll run into a gold circle yet again. You will then continue to the right and you will find your mid-point. Shortly thereafter, you will find a red circle, the coins won't do anything fancy, but you'll need to do some fany thumb dancing to get all the coins. You'll find another balance bit just after this, and you can see more platforms above it, head up there and you'll find another star coin. Continue to the right, and use the balance platforms to get up to the flag. World 4-5 **w4-5** Time: 500 seconds First off, I'd like to suggest a fire flower here if you can. Head into the pipe, and take out the giant follower fish. Stay towards the top, and you'll see a gold pipe, head in. You'll find the first star coin here, jump in the air and ground pound above it, it'll make you sink a bit further to obtain the golden precious. Upon exiting, head right, past the follower fish who will try to eat you, and the coin box to find a mid-point. Head up at the split to find a red circle, the coins are in a line, pretty hard to mess that up. Except the last one doesn't like you and tries to swim away. Is it worth chasing? Well is it? Head down when you're done giving the last coin a hard time. You will see your next star coin, get it. What's that? You can't? Go a little further to the right and head up. Then swing down to grab it, ignore the question blocks. Go back to the top and out to the question blocks, get the star and head to the right. Once at the end, head up the green pipe. Run to the right and get that flag. World 4-Castle 2 **w4-c2** Time: 600 seconds Head to the right, avoiding the boulders, you will come to a point where you can see moving platforms above you and they will drop boulders, so be careful and time it out. You'll see a star coin, after obtaining it continue to the right where you will see a boulder being pushed up from the pit. Avoid the boulder and the revolving fire poles. Because it's mid-point after that. You have some giant and small boulders, watch out. Another of the star coins is down by a giant boulder. Go a bit further past the boulders that fall from the sky and just past the revolving fire pole is a red pipe, head in. Inside you have to be fairly quick to dodge the boulders and get the third star coin. Once done, and you haven't died, drop down and head through the green exit pipe. You'll have to deal with more giant boulders, so don't go running like you don't have a care in the world in this next part, dodge, and time it. Once you're past the boulders is the double blue doors and a secret item on the right by the wall. Collect it if you want, and then go through the doors. He was my favorite in SMB3, anyone remember that one? One of the best in my opinion. Any ways, this Koopaling will materialize boulders from his wand, dodge 'em, jump and hit him. He will go down to the bottom then off screen, where he will come out of a pipe at the top of the level. Rinse and repeat. Collect the key and proceed to the next world. World 5-1 **w5-1** Time: 400 seconds Continue to the right till you see some revolving brick platforms, about a third of the way through the level, get in the middle of it and get the star coin. Just to the right of this spot is a gold circle. Then the mid-point. After that is the next star coin, surrounded by ropes. To the right of that you have a red circle. The coins rotate around the two tight ropes above it. A little further is a gold circle between two tight ropes. And then the flag to signify the end of the level. World 5-2 **w5-2** Time: 500 seconds When you begin to move towards the stage's exit, you will be visited by the Lakitu, you know, they throw the spinies. But by continuing to the right, you'll find a gold circle, it'll make it so instead of spinies they will through lovely coins at you, as if they love you. Either take this opportunity to get as close to the exit as possible, or collect the coins they toss at you. You'll eventually come to a star coin, and a gold circle above it. Just past these objects of interest is two sets of question blocks, in the blank space between them, is a star. Make your enemies fear you. Soon after is the mid-point on a rainbow road. Continue on, and you'll find another gold circle. The only way you'll really be able to get it is by killin a Lakitu and using it's cloud. Further down the road is a red circle, the coins parachute in. You should continue to the right and you will find the end. World 5-3 **w5-3** Time: 500 seconds Jump into the nearby pipe and it will launch you up into the sky. This is how Super Mario Galaxy begins... no not really. Any ways, there will be a gold circle upon arrival. Hit the turtle and slide after it. Jump to the next land mass, and you'll see another gold circle. Once you've gone through, slide down till you hit the mid point. You're going to want to go down the third pipe for the star coin. Then head into the second pipe to be launched higher. You're going to need some mad jumping skills here, I know it looks too far, but it really is do-able. Once you've reached the big pipe, get in and it'll launch you. Once you land, you can then get into the other pipe and launch over the spike strip. There you will find a gold circle. Launch the turtle and slide after it. I know you seen it, we will get to it. Once at the end of the fun ride, hop not one, not two, but three pipes and take it. You'll be launched to the just seen star coin. Then finish going across the pipes to get to the flag. World 5-Ghost House **w5-gh** Time: 400 Seconds How to get here: Above and to the right of the third Star Coin, you'll find a rope. Right in the middle of those coins you'll find a hidden beanstalk by jumping up. Climb it and continue to the right to find the route to the secret flag. Climb up and to the right, stay up high. When you reach the end where there is a door, you can jump down and get the star coin, then climb back up to the door. Continue to the right, ignore the first rope you see, nothing good up that way, up the second one you will find a star coin. Head back down, then up the next rope you see, you'll find some stairs on the right, climb them to obtain the third star coin of the level. For a free guy, after you follow the coins from the last star coin, climb down the rope, climb up the next one and you'll find some coins, hit the invisible block right by the window. Climb down and to the right, you'll find a door, head in. You'll see a big boo to the right, above the platform is some hidden blocks, hit them and climb up them to find a door. This door leads to the flag of the level. World 5-A **w5-A** Time: 500 seconds How to get here: When the second pendulum swings to the right, jump as high as you can to hit a secret beanstalk. The beanstalk is directly below the opening in the ceiling. Alternatively, use Raccoon Mario and fly up. Head right from there, and when you reach the large Boo, open the door to the upper-right. Climb the pole and swing on the rope to reach the flag. You're on a boat you land lubber, soon after starting there is a gold circle. Save the Koopa for after you get the circle, lots of coins to obtain. Toss him to the deck. A little further is another gold circle. You'll come across a third gold circle. After the circle you'll find a star coin. After the star coin is a fourth gold circle. Just after that, you'll find the mid-point, and another gold circle just above it. You'll come across a fifth gold circle on a small platform, stay up there because another star coin is two platforms away. Stay up there to obtain a sixth gold circle. Just above the flyin Koopa is a seventh gold circle. Shortly after that is the third star coin. After that is an eighth gold circle. The ride will come to an end at the flag of the level. To get to a secret area that will bypass all the levels up to the castle, use the trampoline on the ground and hit the bricks to make a bean stalk appear. Use the trampoline to get back up where the bean stalk is, and climb it. Then head right and jump gracefully till you reach the end. World 5-Castle 1 **w5-c1** Time: 500 seconds Use the music notes to reach the grate then head through the door. So if you weren't motivated enough before, you should be now, you have magma rising below you. Climb the platforms up the grates watch out for the torches from the sides. Once on the big grate on the left side, you can ride it straight up. There will be a star coin on the left. It will rotate so be prepared to move. After the star coin there will be a red circle, you can attempt to get it if you'd like. But that magma is catching up fast! But once past the torch, you can stick to the left and climb up the grating to reach a solid platform which holds a door, head through, once through there is the mid point. Then exit the room via door dos (two) on the right. Magma will begin to rise, so you're going to want to be quick, just watch out for the torches. Eventually you'll come to a grate, hold on for the ride of your life. You'll have to hop off once you get close to some spikes, but hurry to the top, and you may be able to get another star coin that is to the right. That magma is back again, besides that minor detail, head to the left of the moving grate and at just above that torch you see is the third star coin. The platforms merge again, and the door you seek is before you. Take out them pesky triceratops. World 5-4 **w5-4** Time: 400 seconds This level has moving mushroom platforms. You land on one, and it either shrinks or grows. But about a fourth of the way in, you'll find a gold circle. Past some koopas and some of those mushroom platforms you'll find some solid ground, where you'll find a star coin. A little further you'll find the mid way point. More to the right you'll find a red circle, the coins parachute in. After they slowly fall away from you, there is another star coin. Then keep heading to the right where you will find some mushroom platforms and some parakoopas, if you have enough speed you can make it to the top of the flag pole. World 5-5 **w5-5** Time: 500 seconds Climb up to the platform at the top, and jump into the red pipe. Head to the right, and be careful of the bullet bills. After about the fourth cannon you'll find the mid way point. Two more cannons later you can find a red circle. By the time you see the giant bullet bill you be able to get another star coin. But after the giant bill, you will find the flag pole World 5-6 **w5-6** Time: 400 seconds So from the start you see some coins going down, proceed to follow. Hit the koopa and make him hit all of his friends. Once you head down you will see a rotating platform, continue to fall. There will be a red circle, nothing fancy. Go to the right, and down, there will be more moving platforms. Continue going to the right, you will find the mid-point. Continue to the right, eventually you'll come to a classic SMB revolving platform. Carefully move it to the right. Avoid the gapping jaws of giant piranha plants. Once you can get off there will be another star coin. Head up the pipes and that will be where this level ends. World 5-Castle 2 **w5-c2** Time: 600 seconds You're going to have to skillfully wall jump to get up on this platform here on the right, if you have a leaf, you can gain momentum and fly up to it. Careful when you reach the next moving grate, as there will be spikes you have to jump over and then latch onto the moving grate again. At the end of the ride you have the mid-point. There is a star coin at the bottom with a protruding grate that you can latch too. When ready head on over to the moving grate. There is a red circle here too, none of the coins are freaky. At the end of the ride continue moving to the right. You'll find another moving grate which will head into the lava, but not before letting you have a chance at the star coin. Hop up to the smaller moving grate and take that till you can jump to a solid platform. Head all the way to the right, past the double doors and collect the secret item, which shouldn't be so secret by now, then head through the double doors. You will see some dry piranha plants and a pipe. Head into the pipe and shoot yourself Donkey Kong style up through them. So our Koopaling this time jumps on the chains above, which is where he will shoot you from, you pick the pipe under him and launch yourself up and make him fall off. Club him the only way Mario knows how too, rinse and repeat. Although his last hit, if you let him get back up into the rafters, may be a little tougher. Timing is key. Once defeated collect your key. World 6-1 **w6-1** Time: 500 seconds So this time around we have rocks falling. Dodge them and continue to the right, or use the environment to your advantage, by standing under bricks. About a third of the way through you'll find a star coin. Shortly after you will find a red circle. Some are stationary others are crazy for parachuting in this madness. Use the beetle on the next platform on the POW block to claim a free guy, then get over to the mid-point. Hit the question block button to get the platforms appearing, so you are technically on the games time now. Just dodge the incoming rocks. You'll eventually come up on the next star coin. Keep going and you will find the flag pole. World 6-Ghost House **w6-gh** Time: 500 seconds Hitting the switch will cause the platform to move to the left, to reveal some coins. Head to the right, and hit the switch to get the platform to fall. Then head right through the one way, and climb up to get the first star coin. Once back down to the bottom, go through the door on the right. Here we have a fairly large Boo just sitting there, hurry to the right and enter the door, you'll pop out under the door you went in, hit the switch and follow the arrow to the left. Once all the way back don't go through the door, instead make the boo fly away from the switch, hit it, and climb the stairs that appear.

You will now be on a moving boat that alternates. Shortly after starting this little ride you can jump up and grab a trampoline. Soon after that you will have the tiny goombas all over you but there is a star coin just to the right of that little goomba cage. Collect the trampoline when the ride is done and position it just under the hole, hop up there and get into the red pipe. There is a gold circle here, and a few POW blocks. Go through the circle and hit the POW blocks when the piranha plants pop out. This will turn them into gold coins to collect. When done, head through the pipe, when outside of the pipe, go to the mid-point. Jump down to the little boat, and let the current take you where you need to go. Eventually it'll take you to a star coin surrounded by bricks. Once the ride stops, the magma starts rising. Grab a bobomb and throw it at the star coin incased in the rock wall to the left. Shortly after that, you'll see a green pipe on the left, head up there. Now head to the right, and up the flag pole. World 6-B **W6-B** Time: 400 Seconds How to get here: Out in the open.

Just past the red circle is another star coin, then the flag to let you know that you've completed another level. World 6-3 **w6-3** Time: 500 seconds Jump into the very emphasized pipe, continue to the right, but be careful, because the mushroom platforms grow, and shrink, which may make things a bit tougher.

Eliminate the triceratops. World 6-4 **w6-4** Time: 400 seconds At the start, head left, you'll find the first of three star coins. Head right once you're done with that. You'll have boos moving platforms around, so be careful when moving about. Eventually you'll reach the mid way point. Just after the mid-point is a red circle, all the coins are stationary. Soon after that, you'll find another start coin, gonna have to wall jump for that one. Then you'll reach a boo that will control your only mode of transportation. Just stay with it, and eventually you'll come to the flag. World 6-5 **w6-5** Time: 400 seconds This level is loaded with Bowser statues that will shoot fireballs. So be careful with those. Traverse across the rocking platforms, dodging all along the way. Eventually you'll reach the mid-point. Soon after you'll see a star coin. Get the boulder to roll to the left to get it to smash below and get the coin. Shortly after there will be another star coin between two boulders. Simply either make them both go to the left, or, if you're really skilled, make the bottom platform raise enough that you can jump up between the two. After that, there will be four Bowser statues, only two of them fire at you. Time it just right and climb up till you can jump to the flag post. World 6-Bowser's Castle **w6-bc** Time: 700 seconds This is it, the big guy. Let's do this. You'll come up to a torch below moving back and forth, be careful with it. Dodge the lava things. Keep going and eventually you'll have to go up. So do so, but watch out for the torches. There is a coin helmet to the right after you get all the coins out. Once at the top, head to the right where you just have to dodge some torches. At the end is a door, head in. Here, hop on to the green platform, and head on up with it, there is magma that rises so be careful. You'll reach another door, head in. Mid-point, you'll see the Koopalings in the background on Bowser's clown-copter, keep moving forward, but when you see the clown-copter's eyes glowing fast, get behind a wall. Eventually you will come to another star coin. If you're un sure about how to get it, just stand on the donut at the top (middle or right preferably) and let it fall, get back on the platform to the left, and wait for the Koopalings to do their thing. Hit the P switch and then run and collect the coins. Run to the giant green double doors, no secret this time! Head in. Mid-point, head right. Eventually you'll start to ascend, dodge the fireballs SMB3 style, and you will be stuck in a room with Bowser himself. He'll be able to throw some spiked hammers at you, and shoot fireballs, but what we want is for him to jump so you can hit the switch. Too easy? Yeah, I thought so too. Climb the platforms heading up. The Koopalings show up, and they do some SNES stuff, Bowser comes back as a giant. Continue to climb platforms till you reach a solid one, dodge his attacks, watch his eyes, that's where he'll strike next. Once on the solid ground he'll shoot fire at you, dodge it by wall jumping off the nearby wall. After he fails to toast you, he'll roar and make the magma rise even higher, so jump from platform to platform avoiding his attacks, only this time you also have to dodge some Bowser statues that shoot fire, have fun. Eventually you'll come to another solid platform, he'll blow fire at you again... twice. Then he'll roar, and the magma will rise. Same thing, only slightly different. The Bowser statues will shoot blue flames which can make slight movements. After that hit the giant switch at the top of the solid platform. Watch the stuff that transpires after all of this. You'll unlock new worlds, lets go deal with them now. World Mushroom-1 **wm-1** Time: 500 seconds Continue to the right past the parakoopas, you'll eventually make it to the mid point.
