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.

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**

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

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

things. Keep going and eventually you'll have to go up. So do so,

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.
