Normal Strategy[edit]
Jump over the Spiny, then hit the ? Block for a Super Mushroom or Fire Flower. Proceed down the Warp Pipe. In this underground area, the only places that are illuminated are a small area around you and any fireballs you throw, and the glow of lanterns. Go to the right, jumping over the first Warp Pipe and dodging the fire attacks of the Piranha Plants. In the second ? Block is a Fire Flower, so get it if you don't already have one. Continue on, using the Fire Flower to illuminate a path. In the section of lanterns, enter the first Warp Pipe to go to the first bonus room. Jump across both gaps, then run down the hill. Hit the ? Block for a Star power up. Then jump to the top of the tower, and backwards to the Warp Pipe to the second bonus room. Continue on, jumping over the Podoboos, until you reach the end of the long section of yellow blocks. Hit a ? Block for another Star power up, and race up to the top of the platform. While the screen is still lit up, grab the first Star Coin. Climb back up to the main path, and continue to the right. Activate the midway flag and jump across the moving platforms. Run across the bridge, then watch out for the Fire Bro's attacks. Hit the ? Block at the edge for a Fire Flower, then go backwards, under the bridge, to the second Star Coin. Head back to the path, watching out for Fire Bros, and jump past the Piranha Plants. Rather than going straight, take the upper path, accessible from the second moving platform. Grab the final Star Coin and exit through a yellow Warp Pipe. Now outside, climb up the stairs and jump from the top one to reach the top of the flagpole and finish the level.
Bonus Rooms[edit]
The first Bonus Room is accessed from a yellow Warp Pipe towards the beginning of the level. In it, there are coins, a Roulette Block, and two Spiked Buzzy Beetles. Hit the Roulette Block, trying for the Star power up, and exit through the other pipe. Upon exiting, you are returned slightly farther along the main path.
The second bonus room is accessible from a high yellow Warp Pipe before the midway flag. In it, there are many Spiked Buzzy Beetles, Brick Blocks, and a P-Switch. Go wherever there's a gap in the Buzzy Beetles, and slowly make your way up to the P-Switch. Hit it to defeat all of them, giving you several 1-Ups and coins. Exit the way you entered.
Star Coin Strategy[edit]
- Star Coin #1: This Star Coin can be found at the bottom third yellow pyramid.
- Star Coin #2: Shortly after the midway flag, you will go across a walkway. Go under this walkway and get the Star Coin.
- Star Coin #3: At the end of the stage, instead of going into the pipe, go onto the platform above it and you will go to a secret room. From here, grab the Star Coin and exit through the Warp Pipe on the right.
