 * Bonus Room 2: You must obtain the rock to break in the right wall for a Big Diamond.  There are two methods to grab the rock without letting it swim like a brick. a) From the left end, perform a super charge, and jump to hit the switch without stopping, shall you have succeeded, your head will slam the falling rock to the ground. b) Stomp the ground a few times to shake the rock off the center, then simply hit the switch and it will get a dry landing.
 * Room 3: While moving on the platforms above the water, watch out for the Scuba-Gators below, as they can bite your butt hard.  They are invincible in water.  It is possible, but not easy, to lure them out of water and quickly slam from side to eliminate them.  On the third island, there is a Spear Mask.  Before leaving the room, look at the water tunnel below, and swim inside to find a hidden Room A with a Heart Chest.

The upper left leads to Room 7.

Back to the chest, take out two Spear-Masks on the left.  You will see a yellow pipe which leads back to Room 4, but instead of entering it, break the floor on the left end and fall below.  You will find a Malletape in the middle shaft that, each time you stomp the ground, it jumps a bit.  Try to get him out of shaft, then let him smash you into Spring Wario, and release your potent right below the Gems.  You will be able to collect all Gems, return to Room 4, break the ceiling block and finally get into Room 6.
 * Room 6: Run to the right and you will find a Black Spiny.  While he can be killed with slope rolling, in order to collect his 300 Coins, use the platform on the right to gain enough height to perform a super stomp and flip him, then finish him with another stomp.  When the path is clear, roll down the slope and break into the far right end for a CD Chest.  Now return to below and proceed to Room 7.

Now float all the way upward to Room 10 above.
 * Room 10: Actually a bonus room with two Spearmen and a Big Diamond.  To claim the treasure, get on the middle platform, move to the left one, and run-jump onto the ledge to reach it.  Now return to Room 9 and start escaping to the right.  Hurry up!

From here, you can climb up and jump over a few swinging platforms to return to upper portion, and return to Room 1 via the coming path.  However, the lower corner of this wall can be broken.
