New Super Mario Bros. 2/World 2-Tower

This level begins on the bottom of a tower, with a Super Dry Bones patrolling around two ? blocks. The one on the right contains a Super Leaf. When climbing up to moving platforms above, be sure not to get squished; this will result in losing a life. Try jumping up when first set of platforms are closing. From there, it should be easy to go out on one of the sides. Take the single platform up and to the one on the left. Crouch, and you will be able to reach the first star coin.

Next, up and to the right, you will find more moving platforms. Dash past them before they can squish you. If you can't make it in time, crouch to avoid losing your power-up. In the first block you see, there will be a hidden Super Leaf. Keep on climbing up the platforms, past the goomba and Super Dry Bones. Hop onto one of the twin wide ? blocks to go up and reach the midpoint flag. The nearby ? block will contain another Super Leaf.

As you continue climbing to the left, beware the falling blocks with spikes on them. If they get close, crouch. Eventually, you will get to a level with a door. Go down into the doorway to get the second star coin, or continue climbing up to complete the level with minimal fuss.

If you go through the doorway, you'll enter a room with moving platforms. Use the platforms to climb to the top left corner of the room, where you'll find the second star coin. Then, exit via the new doorway above the one you entered the room from.

When you emerge, continue jumping up the blocks, being sure not to get crushed by platforms. You'll soon see an alcove to the right, with a ? block in the middle. It contians a Super Leaf. Continuing up, you will see the final doorway, guarded by moving platforms and two goombas. You can stomp the goombas and then wait for the platforms to begin rising to run through, or can take an alternate path to get the third star coin. Wall jump up along the left until you reach a new platform. Then, rush across when the platforms fall and grab the final star coin. You will then fall down to the door, through which is the midboss for this world.

This fight pits you against four Reznors on a Ferris wheel of ? blocks. They can be defeated by either hitting the blocks with the raccoon tail or jumping up and hitting them. If the floor begins to collapse, hop onto a defeated Reznor's platform and spend the rest of the battle hopping from block to block. Their fireballs can easily be dodged.
