Secret Exit[edit]

This is the first level in the game to feature a secret exit. These hidden exits enable sidepaths on the overworld and allow you to traverse areas that are otherwise unreachable. In the vast majority of cases, secret exits are indicated by a keyhole; you'll need to find the key in the level and put it in the keyhole to complete the level and open the secret exit.

In this level, the key and the keyhole are right next to each other! However, they are on top of the pipe maze and not normally reachable. You have two options:

  • You can wait until you complete the Green Switch Palace later on. This way, the green switch blocks will be enabled, and you can simply run up the ramp to get to the key and keyhole.
  • If you are confident in your flying skills, you can simply fly up to the pipe maze and get to the key and keyhole this way.
  • An easier option could be to grab the Yoshi under the maze and get enough speed with Cape feather then jump off Yoshi.

Carry the key to the keyhole to unlock the secret exit.
