Normal strategy[edit]
Jump onto the rising platform and hit the ? block to get a power-up. Then jump onto the next rising platform, and jump from there to the ledge. Use the swinging platform to reach the ledge on the other side. Wait for the Dry Bones to come to you, then jump on it and run to the other sides. Jump on the moving ledges one by one to reach the next section. Jump onto the swinging platform, then the moving platform, and from there, grab the star coin and continue up.
Use the three swinging platforms to go up, avoiding the Dry Bones on them. Go to the platform on the right, then wall jump up to get the second Star coin. Continue up and activate the midway flag. After grabbing the flag, go on up and avoid being crushed by the ledges. The best way to do this is to jump on each ledge as it starts extending outwards. Hit the roulette block, trying for a Propeller Mushroom, and jump onward. When the swinging ledge is on the right side, wall jump to obtain the final star coin.
Afterwards, keep going until you reach the red coin ring. Use the swinging platforms to grab the coins and jump up to the door. Hit the ? block for a Fire Flower. Then go into the door to battle Larry Koopa.
Boss Battle[edit]
Larry Koopa has two attacks: he can shoot a ball of energy from his wand, or he can go back and forth along the platform while hidden in his spiked shell. The chance to hit him is while he is preparing to send a ball of energy. To damage him, you must either jump on his head or hit him with eight fireballs, which count as a stomp. After he is it, he will use his shell attack. Stomp him three times to defeat him.
Star Coins[edit]
- Star Coin #1: At the swinging platform with a ? block, jump onto the ledge at the right time to jump up and get the first star coin.
- Star Coin #2: Shortly after the first star coin, the three swinging platforms lead you to two ledges. Jump on the right one and from there, wall jump up through the ceiling. Jump up to get the 2nd star coin.
- Star Coin #3: The third is a little tricky. At the swinging platform above the roulette block wait for the platform to go to the left, then wall jump up to the other swinging platform. Then, jump to the third and final star coin.
