A [[SMW: Fishin' Lakitu|Fishin' Lakitu]] appears at the beginning of this level. Avoid the tempation to snag his 1-up; doing so will make him rain [[SMW: Spiny|spinies]] down on you.
==Secrets==
==Walkthrough==
The secret exit in this level is found by entering the purple pipe as shown in the picture. The pipe is too high to be reached by ordinary jumping, so you will need to do one of five things:
{{Scrolling map|SMW-FOI4-1.png}}
#Be caped Mario and do a running jump, floating down with your cape
* Resist the temptation to grab the 1-up mushroom the Lakitu is holding. If you do, he will start throwing Spinies at you, which you certainly don't want.
#Be with Yoshi, and use Yoshi to make a higher jump by jumping with Yoshi, then spin jumping off Yoshi's back
* Most of the pipes are infested with Lakitu that throw out Spinies. Stomp on them to take them out before they throw too many of them at you.
#If you don't have a cape or Yoshi, do a spin jump and bounce off a spiny to increase your jump height. This is very difficult, and the spiny will need to be right next to the pipe in order for you to reach it by bouncing off the spiny.
* The cycling power-up at the beginning gives you an opportunity to grab a Starman. With it, you can breeze through the level easily.
#You can also ride Lakitu's cloud up to the pipe. This is also a little difficult.
#Ride on Blue Yoshi and have him eat a shell. You will be able to simply fly up to the pipe.
Hitting the P-Switch will make coins appear around the pipe.

* You will find a flower if you hit the second ? block from the right. None of the other blocks contain anything other than coins.
* The lone green pipe with no Lakitu in it gets taller as you come near. Take a running jump to reach it or else you'll have to wait.
* If you want to hit the midway tape, you'll need to go a bit further and jump from the yellow pipe up to the ledge.
{{Scrolling map|SMW-FOI4-3.png}}
* Once you see the three green pipes, another Lakitu will fly by in his cloud. He has no 1-up mushroom for you, but starts throwing Spinies right away.
* You can enter a bonus area if you go down the middle of the three green pipes (see below). It's no shortcut or anything though, in fact it takes you back, so you'll just lose valuable time.
* The top left ? block gives you another opportunity to grab a flower.
{{Scrolling map|SMW-FOI4-bonus.png}}
* You will start off to the right and need to swim to the left while avoiding all the fish. This isn't very difficult to do; if you swim at the ceiling you should be relatively safe.
* The pipe takes you back to the orange pipe before the midway tape.
{{Scrolling map|SMW-FOI4-4.png}}
* You can use the blue blocks here if you wish to take out Lakitu and any of the enemies ahead. You'll then have a clear path to the goal tape.
==Secret Exit==
[[File:SMW-FOI4-bonus2.png|right]]
The secret exit is hidden inside a bonus room, reached by taking the blue pipe hovering in mid-air. The pipe is a difficult jump, but can be reached with a running jump from the hill to its left. If you thought about using the P-Switch below the pipe, it just makes coins appear which isn't very useful.
There are a variety of easier ways to reach this pipe, including using the cape or riding Lakitu's cloud to the pipe. In any case, once you're inside, all you need to do is to put the key into the keyhole to unlock the secret exit. (Try not to accidentally kick it down the one-block-wide hole in the ground!)
==Dragon Coin locations==
The five Dragon Coins in this level are located as follows:
* In the air near the beginning. Jump from the turn blocks to reach it.
* Below the row of ? blocks between the two pipes.
* In the air before the two orange pipes (jump off the green pipe to reach it).
* High up in the air after the three green pipes. You can defeat Lakitu and ride his cloud or use Yoshi and eat the blue shell to fly up.
* Just before the goal tape, up in the air.
