It's-a-me, RedIsPoetic! Ignoring the so-lame-it's-awesome introduction, I'm
back again to bring you a FAQ/Walkthrough for the newest Mario platformer for
the 3DS, New Super Mario Bros. 2! I imagine that at least a notable portion of
readers will know me from my Super Mario 3D Land FAQ/Walkthrough, if you're one
of them, you'll notice that I have an updated aesthetic style, *but* the layout
is still the same, including the 'Star Coin Alert!' boxes, albeit with a
slightly newer design. I hope this keeps some sense of uniformity between the
two guides and will help you in being able to easily navigate this FAQ.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is technically a sequel to New Super Mario Bros. for
the DS, although New Super Mario Bros. Wii was released in between these two
games. It retains the same 2D platforming gameplay that the previous titles in
the series have contained, as well as the same visual and audio style. Just
looking at it, one can immediately see that this is true.

The entire 'New' series has been somewhat of a tribute to the original Super
Mario Bros. games, with a variety of features from the original games making
reappearances in these games, such as the Goal Pole. NSMB2 is no exception and
has even heralded the return of the beloved Raccoon Mario! With its return,
many courses once again have the very open feeling that was captured so well in
Super Mario Bros. 3.

The other major feature in NSMB2 is the completely new focus on collecting
coins. This game's all about the gold! Coins are now extremely abundant with
new objects and even a new power-up having a coin focus, as well as Nintendo
just filling many courses with them. Although a gimmick, I've found it to be
surprisingly fun and has actually made coin-collecting no longer feel useless
as it has in almost every past Mario platformer, with not only the ease at
which 1-Ups can be collected, but also because of the under-abundance of coins
themselves.

With the added long-term goal of collecting 1,000,000 coins over the course of
the game, it has managed to set this installment apart from its predecessors.
Although the game's still playing too heavily on nostalgia, this has allowed it
to feel at least somewhat new and fresh and really is a lot of fun. Oh, and the
platforming is SOLIIIID, as always.

Anyway, this guide intends to give complete and comprehensive information on
all aspects of the game, from Star Coin locations to explanations of what Toad
Houses do; from Secret Exits to Enemy and Power-Up lists. In short, this
guide's going to be jam-packed full of helpful NSMB2 informations!

Onwards poor, lost soul!

The meat of the FAQ! Here begins the actual walkthrough of NSMB2! In this
section, the six primary worlds are covered. A step by step guide of what to do
and how to do it, not just showing how to complete each course, but how to
collect the three Star Coins found in each one, as well as any little secrets
such as 1-Ups, hidden coins, or Secret Exits! Read on for assistance!

If you want to find information on the three Special Worlds (World Mushroom,
World Flower or World Star), skip to the next section, Section [06.0.0].


Star Coin Alert! Boxes
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A feature from my previous SM3DL FAQ makes a return, and with a slight
redesign! The style has been changed slightly and the boxes now stretch almost
the entire width of the page, making them a little more attractive, whilst not
detracting from how easy they are to spot.

For new readers, the idea of the Star Coin Alert! Boxes is to allow you to
very easily find any Star Coin in any course. A lot of readers will simply be
looking for that one Star Coin that they just can't manage to find, no matter
how hard they look. For this reason, these boxes are implemented. If you're
looking for a Star Coin in particular, skip to the beginning of the
walkthrough for that course, then scroll through until you find the Star Coin
Alert! Box for that particular Star Coin. Read through and follow the
instructions to find and collect the Star Coin! Enjoy!

Boss Battle Boxes
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A new feature in this FAQ, Boss Battles now have their very own unique box,
instead of simply being separated from the rest of the FAQ by a large line on
either side. These are designed to be more eye-catching than the Star Coin
Alert! Boxes, but to still fit the style of the FAQ. Obviously, this box will
only appear in courses with bosses, such as the Tower and Castle courses.

Assumptions This Walkthrough Makes
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
To streamline the walkthrough a couple of assumptions have been made. The
first is that you are using Mario. Luigi has slightly different mechanics, so
certain things may differ slightly from the walkthrough. It also makes things
much simpler. The second assumption is that you're never Small Mario/Luigi
when you find a power up from a ? Block or what have you. If you were, the
contents will generally be a Super Mushroom instead of what is said in the
guide. If you're any other form of Mario/Luigi, then you will find the item
that is written.


Recommendations On How To Play The Game
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now, I don't like to tell people how to play a game. There isn't meant to be
one method that should always be followed to play a game. What I'm doing here
is recommending the easiest way to play the game. You can totally ignore it if
you wish, but I recommend at least reading what I have to say.

My recommendations are as follows:

 o Collect all Star Coins as you play through each level.

If you plan to totally finish the game (I don't see why you wouldn't). You're
going to need to collect every single Star Coin anyway. Even if you only want
to finish up to Special World 8-Bowser's Castle, you need almost every Star
Coin. Going back to find them can be annoying and a waste of time, so it's
recommended that you collect them all as you go.

 O Decide if you're aiming to collect 1,000,000 coins.

This requires a lot of work to achieve. If you do wish to achieve it, I
suggest that you modify your play style a little, with added focus on coin
collection as you play through the main game. If you do this, you won't have
to spend as long grinding to earn all of those coins afterwards.

As stated, these are only recommendations. Play however you wish, but if you
want to save yourself a bit of time, feel free to follow the suggestions
above.

Mario time! First thing's first: go right. Hit the first three ? Blocks for a
coin from each and stomp the Goomba here. Grab the three coins on the blue
platform then jump onto the red one and hit the ? Block between the two brick
blocks. A Super Mushroom will appear (unless you're replaying this course and
you're not Small Mario, in which case a Fire Flower will appear). Grab it and
drop down to the ground to your right. Stomp the Goomba then jump onto the
ledge and hit the Large ? Block for a number of coins.

 | The first Star Coin of the game is sitting atop three blocks floating   |
 | above a number of Note Blocks. To get this one, drop down onto the Note |
 | Blocks. As you land, press 'A' to perform a large jump. You'll jump up  |
 | high and be able to land on the blocks with the Star Coin. Do so and    |
 | grab the coin, then drop down and continue right.                       |
 |                                                                         |

Drop onto the next set of Note Blocks. Bounce up into the Large ? Block to
collect to coins and cause a Fire Flower to appear. Jump onto the block and
grab it. Continue right. Drop to the ground below and stomp the three-high
Goomba stack if you so wish. Hit the two brick blocks up ahead for a coin each.
Stomp the Koopa Troopa on the pink platform, then jump up to the orange one at
the top. Hit the brick block here multiple times for coins. It will eventually
turn into a Gold Block! As you move you will automatically collect coins from
this block, although it will eventually disappear.

Continue right, over the next set of Note Blocks and hit the Checkpoint Flag on
the pink platform. Further right you can hit the two Large ? Blocks. The one on
the left contains two coins and a Fire Flower whilst the right one contains
three coins. Collect what you want, stomp the Goomba stack if you wish then run
right.

 | You will reach yet another set of Note Blocks. This time there's a Star |
 | Coin protected by a ring of brick blocks above this set. Bounce off the |
 | Note Blocks and up into the brick blocks to break them. Once you've     |
 | created an opening, bounce into the ring and grab the Star Coin. Keep   |
 | going right.                                                            |

There's a brick block two grassy platforms just past the Note Blocks. You can
ground pound this block multiple times for a number of coins. When you're
ready, continue to the Large ? Block with the red Koopa Troopa on it. Hit it to
knock the Troopa off, then hit it with a fireball (assuming that you're still
Fire Mario to grab an extra coin. Jump onto the Large ? Block and hit the three
blocks above for a coin from each.

Move right and stomp the next red Koopa Troopa so that it withdraws into its
shell. Kick this shell to the right so that it gets stuck in the small ditch
with the brick block in it. Stand on the brick block as the shell hits the
block multiple times, giving you a coin each time. The block will eventually
turn into a Gold Block. As you're standing on the block, you'll receive most,
if not all of the coins that it is dropping, netting you a tonne of coins! It
will eventually break, at which time you need to jump up and out of the way of
the shell.

Hop up onto the green platform back to your left and hit the brick block above
it until it turns into a Gold Block. Wear the block then enter the green Warp
Pipe to your right. You'll be fired into the sky!

You're in a bonus area. Hit the P-Switch to turn all of the coins to your right
into brick blocks, as well as cause a very large number of blue coins to appear
temporarily.

 | Run along the brick blocks as fast as you can, before they switch back  |
 | to coins and you fall back to the main part of the course. Collect all  |
 | of the blue coins as you go and jump off the brick block ledge at the   |
 | end into the Star Coin to collect it. You'll drop back to the main part |
 | of the course.                                                          |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

You'll fall back to the ground. You can move onto the Note Blocks to your left
that you skipped if you want and bounce up and collect a few extra coins as
well as stomp the Goomba. Once you're done, move on. Jump up the coloured
platforms when you reach them, until you're at the top, blue platform.

You'll see a very large Goomba stack here. You can use this stack as a stepping
stone to the top of the Goal Pole if you wish, by stomping and performing a
large jump off of the top Goomba of the stack and using the gained momentum to
reach the Goal Pole. If you do this, make sure that you time your jump so that
the Goombas are about halfway between you and the Goal Pole and that you aim
properly. Alternatively, you can stomp all of the Goombas in the stack without
touching the ground for a 1-Up, and then attempt to take a running jump off of
the blue platform onto the top of the Goal Pole for a second 1-Up. Once you
grab the Goal Pole, you are done!

First, move left and Tail Spin the red POW Block for a number of coins if you
happen to be Raccoon Mario, otherwise move right and jump up into the red POW
Block. The brick blocks blocking the Warp Pipe will break and the Koopa Troopa
will have withdrawn into its shell. Knock it away and enter the pipe. Let
yourself drop straight down onto the red POW Block at the bottom. A number of
coins will appear under the platform that you just landed on, which you can
collect. Move right and hit the next two red POW Blocks, then jump onto the
platform that they made and run left to grab the Fire Flower that's appeared.
Continue back right, watching out for the green Koopa Troopa.

 | blocks. Ground Pound through the brick blocks above the red POW Block   |
 | until you break the red POW Block itself. Do the same for the other     |
 | side. You will have just created an opening leading to the Star Coin.   |
 | Drop down and grab it. Make sure you don't hit the Red Shell on this    |
 | platform as you may hurt yourself by doing so. Once you're ready, jump  |
 | off the platform to your right and enter the yellow Warp Pipe.          |

 | You need to be very quick once you hit the P-Switch here. As soon as    |
 | you do, run right, over the two green Warp Pipes, collecting the coins  |
 | as you go. When you reach the small, two brick block platform before    |
 | the Warp Pipe, jump up onto it, then jump onto the platform above you   |
 | to your left. Run along this platform to the end, as quickly as you can |
 | before time runs out and the coins turn back to bricks. Watch out for   |
 | the Koopa Troopas here and keep momentum up. If you slow down, you      |
 | might not make it. As you're running, I recommend trying to maximise    |
 | the number of coins you collect here. Once you reach the end, grab the  |
 | Star Coin then run back and collect a few more coins if you have time   |
 | to spare. Once the coins turn back to bricks, move back right, drop     |
 | down to the ground and jump up into the yellow Warp Pipe.               |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

You'll come out of a Warp Pipe which a Piranha Plant will appear from once you
move off it. If you need a Fire Flower (or Super Mushroom), move left and hit
the left ? Block for one. You can hit the other ? Block for another coin and
even jump onto the moving platform to your left for extra coins. When you're
ready, move right, waiting for the Piranha Plant to recede into the yellow Warp
Pipe before moving over it onto the moving platforms.

Jump off the platforms and collect the coins as you do. Now stomp the red Koopa
Troopa and make sure to hit him left, into the little ditch. It will hit the
red POW block, breaking it and giving you a bunch of coins. If you're Fire
Mario, you might want to drop onto the ground below and fire a number of
fireballs into the cannon. When you do, a Mega Mushroom will shot out of the
cannon, which you should chase after and grab.

 | As soon as you get it, power through the course. Don't slow down, but   |
 | feel free to crash through whatever you want, killing as many Koopa     |
 | Troopas as you wish. Make sure your grab the Checkpoint Flag along the  |
 | way though. Continue until you reach the third Star Coin, encased into  |
 | blocks that can only be destroyed whilst you're in Mega Mario form.     |
 | Break the blocks and collect the coin before you turn back into Normal  |
 | Mario.                                                                  |
 |                                                                         |

Soon after, you'll turn back into Normal Mario. Continue right, collecting
coins and defeating enemies until you reach a number of ? Blocks near the end
of the course. Stand on the ? Block second from the right and jump up into the
brick block above. A 1-Up will be dropped from it. Now continue to the sign
with an arrow on it pointing up at the end of th course. When you see it, you
should notice a red POW Block to its left. Hop onto the yellow Warp Pipe and
perform a running jump off of it to the left. Jump around until you're next to
the brick blocks that form the left wall encasing the lower left Koopa Troopa.
Wall jump off of these into the red POW Block (it can be done with practise).

Drop down, move right and jump up through the two blue platforms. You should
notice that a path has been made by the red POW Block, which leads left. Follow
it and grab all of the coins here (along with the 1-Up that you found earlier)
until you reach the end, then backtrack right and enter the blue Warp Pipe
above you.

Move right and jump into the red POW Block under the brick blocks. You'll earn
a number of coins and a platform will appear. Jump onto it. Start at the left
side of the platform and begin running right. Jump immediately to the top step
then continue increasing your momentum and jump off the edge of it to reach the
top of the Goal Pole. And you're done!

Move right, then press 'Down' when on the slope to slide down it and through
the Goombas to kill them. Jump up before you drop into the hole. Jump onto the
platform with the Snake Blocks moving around it. Keep an eye on the Snake
Blocks and make sure that they don't end up pushing you into the hole. From
there, hit the left ? Block for a coin and the right one for a Super Leaf! Grab
the Super Leaf to turn into Raccoon Mario.

If you want a bonus 1-Up, backtrack to the top of the hill to your left, then
run down it until your P-Meter is filled, from there fly up and onto the tree
to your left. Hit the Brick Block there to receive a 1-Up. From there you can
continue flying around for more coins, but this walkthrough will assume that
you simply continue along the ground (There's a nice bonus on the third tree
you might want to check out though!) Continue back to the platform with the
Snake Blocks on it and continue on.

Collect the coins and stomp the Goomba as you go. Jump over the next hole and
again watch out for the Snake Blocks here. Use them to allow you to jump up
into the blocks above and break them for more coins and yet another Super Leaf.
Jump over the next gap and continue on.

 | Clear out the Koopa Troopa and the two Goombas ahead so that you have a |
 | clear path to get a run up on so that you can fly. Take a run up along  |
 | this path and jump just before the gap where there's a sign pointing in |
 | to the air. Fly up, collecting the coins as you go. Land on the tree    |
 | above. Grab the Star Coin on this tree and collect the coins.           |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Now that you're on top of the tree, take a running jump off the right side,
ignoring the trail of coins leading back to the ground. Instead, land on the
platform to your right. There's a Coin Roulette Block here. Try and hit it when
it displays a red '50' to make it drop 50 coins worth of 10-Coins, otherwise hit
it so that it drops the value of coins displayed. Grab the coins then take a
running jump off the right side of the platform onto the top of yet another
tree. Enter the Warp Pipe here. You'll be shot into the air.

to move around, then jump on them and use them as a platform so that you can
reach the Coin Roulette Block. Try and hit the block when it's displaying its
highest value, collect your reward and move on, stomping the Goombas that you
encounter. The Goal Pole is up ahead.

Don't drop to the ground when you reach the edge of a fairly sizeable drop to
the ground below. Instead, take a running jump off the side of this, hover and
grab the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up. If you have trouble, drop to the
ground before the Goal Pole and run back and forth along the ground until
you've filled your P-Meter then fly up and drop onto the top of the Goal Pole.

Jump onto the orange platform above you. Watch out for the Undead Goomba and
hit the Large ? Block above you. You'll receive two coins and cause a Super
Leaf to appear. Grab it and jump onto the Snake Block above you. Use them to
jump up onto the next orange platform. Move through the outlines of the Dash
Coins to make them appear. Collect them, then jump onto the Snake Blocks above,
then to the orange platform above that. Be careful not to touch the Undead
Piranha Plant to your left as you do this or you'll take damage.

You can drop down back to the platform below by jumping down the left side,
moving through the outlines of the dash coins to make them appear. You can then
jump up and collect them, then make your way back to where you were. Hit the
Large ? Block above you to temporarily break the Dry Bones and earn some coins.
Jump to the orange platform above and to your left, then to the one higher up
to your right. Jump through the coins and Dash Coin outlines to collect them
and make the Dash Coins appear.

Once all of the coins are collected, jump onto the lowest set of Snake Blocks
rotating around a larger block. Jump up along each block, collecting coins,
until you reach the top. Jump up through the orange platforms. You'll see a
Large ? Block to your left. Move and hit it for three coins, then hop up the
orange platforms to the Snake Blocks above, watching out for the Dry Bones.

Hop onto the left set of Snake Blocks and move through the red ring. Eight red
coins will appear that you need to collect before they disappear after a short
amount of time. If this is done, a 1-Up will drop down to you from above.
Collect the ones on the right side first, then jump along the top Snake Blocks
collecting the ones in the centre before collecting the last ones on the right
side of the screen. Once they're collected, jump to the left side of the
screen. Do *not* jump up through the orange platform on the right side, even to
collect the 1-Up if it's there, as you won't be able to collect the next Star
Coin.

Hit the Large ? Block near the Warp Pipe then wait for the bottom portion of
the Snake Blocks to your right to poke out and jump onto it. Collect the coins
if you want, then wait on the left side of the Snake Blocks until you can jump
onto the top part of the Snake Blocks, watching out that you don't touch the
Undead Piranha Plant. Jump onto the orange platforms above. Move through the
outlines of the Dash Coins in the air above to make them appear and collect
them.

and create a platform to jump onto along the bottom. Jump on then stand on the

 |                                                                         |
 | Okay, this is your first Boss Battle. The only way these two Reznors    |
 | can be defeated is by hitting the Large ? Blocks under them. The best   |
 | way to defeat them is to immediately run underneath them and hit the    |
 | blocks before they can so much as shoot out a fireball. You may want to |
 | quickly hit the other Large ? Blocks first for extra coins though,      |
 | don't worry there'll be enough time.                                    |
 |                                                                         |
 | The main thing you want to do is have these guys defeated before they   |
 | begin making the floor disappear. They shoot fireballs which have very  |
 | basic homing that can pretty easily be dodged. After a couple are shot, |
 | the floor will begin disappearing. It'll start at a single point and    |
 | then spread out slowly from that point. If this happens, jump onto one  |
 | of the rotating Large ? Blocks. Because the blocks are moving, any      |
 | fireballs shot at you will miss automatically as long as you don't      |
 | move.                                                                   |
 |                                                                         |
 | To defeat a Reznor in this position, you need to jump to the block      |
 | immediately anti-clockwise from the block that the Reznor's on. Then,   |
 | when the block's beginning to rise when moving up the left side of the  |
 | wheel, you will be under the enemy's block. Simply jump to hit the      |
 | block and defeat the Reznor. Once they're both defeat, you'll have      |
 | cleared the course.                                                     |

There's an invisible block above the bouncing platform above you. Jump up then
stand on the left side of the platform. When it's at its highest point, jump up
and hit the block. A 1-Up will appear. Grab it.

Run right. Collect the coins as they rotate around and move within range of
your jump. Watch out for the Koopa Paratroopa though. Once you're done,
continue on and hit the left ? Block for a Super Leaf and the right ? Block for
a coin. Stomp the Goomba then jump onto them and up onto the platform above and
to your right to collect the coins there. Drop back down onto the platform

Move right, through the Yellow Ring. Your enemies will turn gold! Stomp the
red Koopa Troop on the platform above and knock it right, it will leave a trail
of coins behind as it moves and will net you a whole bunch of coins if you
follow closely enough behind as it defeats enemies (you receive a large number
of coins for defeating enemies when they're in a golden state). Once enemies
are no longer gold, jump onto the platform to the left of a Koopa Paratroopa
and hit the blocks there for a number of coins. Jump to the platform with the
coins and Paratroopa rotating around it. Collect them if you want, then jump to
the platform to your right and jump again, this time up into the blue Warp

Leaf and the other for a coin. The ? Block on the ground to your left can be
hit for a single coin. Continue on, collecting coins and defeating enemies.
When you come upon the Red Ring, move through it. Eight red coins will appear
temporarily. Drop down to your right to collect the first three, landing on the
Goomba as you do, then jump back up onto the platform above and collect the
next two. Lastly, jump between the Koopa Paratroops and collect the two coins
on the platform that they're rotating around and grab the final coins floating
down with a parachute to your right. If you collect them all quickly enough,
you'll receive a 1-Up as a reward.

Hit the bottom two ? Blocks and the brick blocks next to them for a coin each.
Jump up and hit the top two ? Blocks for two more coins. Drop down and attempt
to jump up through the gap between the two bottom ? Blocks (which are now used
blocks). You will hit an invisible block and a beanstalk will appear from it.

Move right and follow the path along. You'll come upon another Yellow Ring.
Move through it then jump to the platform to your right. Stomp the Koopa Troopa
there, then knock it right and chase after it. Collect the trail of coins it
leaves and follow closely enough so that you earn coins as it defeats the
Goombas. It will eventually bounce off of the Goal Pole and drop through a gap.
Move back left, jump onto the platform just to the left of the Goal Pole and
take a running jump off the right edge. Hover over and grab the top of the Goal

there. Quickly hit it when there's a gap and drop down out of the rode. A 1-Up
will appear and will drop down to the ground. Grab it then backtrack to the
main area. Continue right.

Hit the left ? Block for Fire Flower and the right one for a coin. Move onwards
and wait for a gap in the Cheep-Cheep circles. Move through to the centre. Hit
the Roulette Block and collect the item that it drops and continue. If you end
up getting the Super Star, kill as many enemies as possible before you lose
your invincibility. If you defeat enough, you will begin earning 1-Ups.

Further right, you'll come across yet another Spiny Cheep-Cheep. Defeat it with
a fireball or run away if you aren't Fire Mario. Continue and let yourself be
pushed up by the current coming out of the green Warp Pipe. Continue and move

blue coins to appear around you. Collect them before they disappear then move
right. Move past the rest of the Cheep-Cheeps to the Warp Pipe at the end and
enter it.

You'll appear above the surface. Run right and jump onto the first stone block.

number of coins will appear and you'll drop down past three of the paddles. Now
move right and drop down through two more paddles. Move right, hit the ? Block
then jump through the yellow ring. Drop down knock the Koopa Troopa so that it
move right, through a number of Goombas, brick blocks and a Piranha Plant.
Follow behind it and grab the coins it leaves. Once it drops into the hole,
quickly move through the next yellow ring before time runs out.

Jump up and hit the next Koopa Troopa right. It will destroy a stack of Goombas
and net you even more coins from brick blocks too. Stand above the brick block
that it keeps hitting and wait for it to turn golden. When it does, collect all
of the coins that shoot out. Hit the block above you too, for even more coins.
Once the block disappears and the shell falls through the hole. Continue right
and enter the Warp Pipe at the end, which will fire you back up to the main
area.

The path back left can give you a few extra coins, but there are a number of
scawwy enemies, such as the Giant Piranha Plant. If you want the extra coins,
go back and collect them, otherwise continue right. Jump over the gap in the
Warp Pipes with the Piranha Plant coming out of and hit the Gold Roulette Block

 | There's a Star Coin just above the lava ahead of you. Move so that      |
 | you're above it and wait for the platform below to appear from the      |
 | lava. Drop onto it and grab the Star Coin, then jump up onto the higher |
 | platform. When this platform's at its highest, you'll be able to jump   |
 | up and grab the rope again.                                             |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Once you're back on the rope, wait for the next Podoboo to appear and move past
it as it drops back down. Drop onto the next platform and grab the coins above
it, then jump to the main platform to your right. Move right and stomp the Dry
Bones so that you temporarily don't have to worry about it. Hit the ? and brick
blocks here for coins, then jump up onto them.

There are three invisible blocks just to the right of the ceiling above you.
Jump up from the blocks that you're on and hit them. Now move over to the
right-most block and jump up onto the now visible ones. From there, jump up
onto the platform to your left and run left to the end of the platform. Hit the
? Block there for a Super Leaf.

 |                                                                         |
 | Now run back right, filling up your P-Meter. When you reach the end of  |
 | the platform, jump off and begin flying. Fly through the masses of      |
 | coins, collecting as many as possible. Keep flying right as you do and  |
 | grab the Star Coin at the end of the strip of coins. Now hover down,    |
 | collecting the trail of coins as you do. You'll land on a main platform |
 | past the lava with a Checkpoint Flag ahead. Go and hit it.              |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Continue right and hit the ? Block for a coin. Hit the brick block multiple
times until it turns into a Gold Block. Jump into it then continue left. Jump
onto the swinging rope when it moves above the platform that you're on. Grab
the coins that appear as you swing back and forth, then jump off onto the
platform to your right. Continue and stop just before the Thwomp. It will slam
into the ground beneath if you're close enough. When it's moving back up, run
underneath it.

Continue to the next Thwomp and once again stop on the platform above it. Move
to the very right edge of this platform to cause the Thwomp to slam into the
ground. This time jump over it before it moves too far back up. Continue on and
jump onto the platform that's moving up and down slightly in the lava. When it
moves up, wait for the rope to swing over, then jump up and grab it. Swing to
the right and jump off onto the main platform. Hit the ? Block here for another
Super Leaf.

You should be able to see two gaps in the ceiling to either side of the ? block
that you just hit. Below the left gap is an invisible block. It's above the
ground on the right side of the gap. Move under it and jump up into it to make
it appear. Now jump up onto it. There's a second invisible block *just* below
the gap on the left side. Jump up and hit it to make it appear, then jump onto
it. Now jump up and right, onto the platform above. Grab the coins here, then
drop back to the ground below.

Move over and grab onto the rope when it swings over to you. Swing to the right
and the Thwomp will slam into the ground. Swing back left then back right and
jump over the Thwomp as it's still moving back up, collecting the coins as you
do. Land on the platform ahead. Continue right, over to the Giant Thwomp. Stop
just before it.

 | The Thwomp will slam into the blocks below, breaking the first row.     |
 | This will leave enough of a gap to grab the Star Coin and get out. Wait |
 | for the Giant Thwomp to move back up enough so that you can move onto   |
 | the blocks under it without getting hurt. Now run right along the       |
 | blocks and move through the orange platform and drop down onto the Star |
 | Coin to grab it. Jump up through the orange platform and land on it.    |
 | Run right, over to the blue double doors. Enter.                        |

 | Run right, through the hallway until you reach the room at the end. The |
 | door will shut behind you and Roy Koopa will appear, growl and start    |
 | attacking! The first thing he does is charge at you. Jump over him and  |
 | allow him to crash into the wall. Whilst he's stunned, run over and     |
 | stomp him. He will retreat into his shell and the walls to either side  |
 | will slide slightly closer together, effectively making the room        |
 | smaller.                                                                |
 |                                                                         |
 | Roy Koopa will now bounce back and forth between these walls. Jump over |
 | his shell as he does and continue to do so until he comes back out of   |
 | his shell. He will now fire a single purple fireball at you with his    |
 | wand. Dodge it, then he will charge at you. Jump over him, allow him to |
 | crash into the wall once more then stomp him again. He will again       |
 | retreat into his shell and the walls will move even closer together.    |
 | Dodge his shell until he reappears.                                     |
 |                                                                         |
 | This time, he'll fire a faster fireball (it's still pretty slow though) |
 | and will charge at you after he fires the fireball at a very quick      |
 | speed. Jump over him, let him slam into the wall and stomp him while    |
 | he's stunned. He's now defeated!                                        |
 |                                                                         |
 | The walls will recede and a key will appear. Move over, jump up and     |
 | grab it. Mario will exclaim that he's 'Number One!', cutely arrogant    |
 | little plumber that he is, and you will continue to the next world,     |
 | World 2! Let's go!                                                      |
 |                                                                         |
 | Note that you can actually stomp Roy Koopa at any time that he's out of |
 | his shell. This can be whilst charging or firing a fireball. To defeat  |
 | him, he only needs to be stomped three times. If you touch him in any   |
 | way when he's in his shell though, you'll take damage.                  |

Run right, down the slope. Jump onto the orange platform above the quicksand. A
platform made up of three brick blocks and a ? Block is swinging back and forth
above you. Wait for a side to lower, then jump up and hit the blocks on that
side. The brick blocks give coins and the ? Block gives a Fire Flower. Once
you have the coins and Fire Flower, jump to the next platform.

There's a Piranha Plant ahead. Hit it with a fireball or jump over it. Once
past, continue to the next quicksand pit. This time you need to use the
swinging blocks as a platform. Jump onto the first three brick blocks. Now jump
from one set to another, over the Piranha Plants. Be careful not to touch them.
Once you're on the stone platform on the other side, continue on. The right
brick block on the centre swinging platform contains a 1-Up if you want it, but
it can be difficult to grab without taking damage, so you need to decide if
it's worth it.

Continue to the next set of swinging platforms above quicksand. Jump onto the
first one, then jump through the red ring onto the second. The eight red coins
that you need to collect will fall from above connected to parachutes. Grab
them as they fall whilst jumping from one platform to the other. Just make sure
not to touch the Piranha Plant. Once you have all eight, jump to the stone
platform past the swinging platforms and grab your prize.

Move down the slope. Wait for the top swinging platforms to swing inwards and
the bottom ones to swing outwards, then jump up to the top platforms then onto
the two ? Blocks above. Ground Pound the left one for a Fire Flower and the
right one for a coin. Let the top platforms swing out then use the one on the
right to get to the stone platform.

 | Before you hit the Checkpoint Flag, you might want to grab the Star     |
 | Coin here. See the small gap near the end of the ceiling. Jump up into  |
 | it and you'll hit an invisible block. Now jump around the edge of the   |
 | ceiling up onto it. The screen will move and reveal a Star Coin. Grab   |
 | it then drop back down and hit the Checkpoint Flag to your right.       |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Move right, to the opening of the yellow Warp Pipe and enter it. Inside the
cavern is a ? Block. Hit it and grab the very first Gold Flower of the game.
Firing gold fireballs at brick blocks will either turn them into gold coins or
will earn you a gold coin and turn the block into a used block, depending on
the block type. Hitting enemies with them will earn you a number of coins each
time you do so. Move through this area, hitting all of the brick blocks and
enemies with gold fireballs and collecting all of the coins. Continue to the
end of the area.

 | You should quite clearly be able to see the next Star Coin as you stand |
 | at the end of this area. Run back left and hop up a couple of steps.    |
 | Now run right and jump off of the very edge of the platform up onto the |
 | one above to your right. You should now be able to shoot gold fireballs |
 | at the brick blocks to break them, collect the coins they leave and     |
 | grab the Star Coin. Once you're done, drop down, run right and exit     |
 | through the Warp Pipe at the end of the area.                           |
 |                                                                         |

When you come back out, you'll notice a lot of brick blocks around the area.
Whenever you see them, hit them with a gold fireball and grab the coins from
them. You may even want to backtrack to the Checkpoint Flag to collect all of
the coins from the brick blocks here, as there are a fair few.

 | Even if you don't backtrack for the coins, you might want to backtrack  |
 | a little for the Star Coin. Backtrack past the first swinging platform  |
 | with the Star Coin above it, to the second one. As this one's slightly  |
 | lower, you can bounce off of the note blocks up onto it. Do this when   |
 | the platform has swung right, then quickly jump to the swinging         |
 | platform with the Star Coin above it and grab it. Drop down and         |
 | continue right.                                                         |

Make sure to hit the first lot of brick blocks past the Warp Pipe with your
gold fireballs as a brick block at the bottom of the group contains a 1-Up.
Grab it and continue. Wait for the next swinging platform to swing towards you
and jump on. Jump to the right side of the platform when it swing around, then
jump over the Piranha Plant to the next platform and from there to the next
group of brick blocks.

The last set of swinging platforms is ahead. When they swing so that they're
point right, jump up onto the first, keep your momentum, jump to the second and
perform a running jump off of the edge of it onto the top of the Goal Pole for
a 1-Up! Good work, you boss, you. ;)

Hit the ? Block to your left for a coin, then the one to your right for a Fire
Flower. As you jump up to grab it, coins will appear above you. Jump from one
block to another to grab them, then drop down and continue right. Jump over the
gap and stomp the Paragoomba, once to remove its wings, then a second time to
fully defeat. Hit the left brick block for a coin and the right one for
multiple ones.

Jump up to the upper of the two platforms to your right. Stomp and kick the
Koopa Troopa away and collect the coins above. Jump to the next platform and
stomp the next Koopa Troopa here too, then kick him so that he bounces between
the two ? Blocks at either edge of the platform. Defeat the Paragoomba if he
isn't already, then jump up through the dash coins, into the yellow ring. Now
the moving shell will leave a trail of coins which it will bounce back into and
collect! Just make sure not to be hit by it. Reveal the rest of the dash coins
and collect them all. Wait until the shell turns back red, then continue on.

and grab the coins above the seesaw platform if you want, then jump off and
continue right. Hit the ? Block before the Checkpoint Flag, hit the Checkpoint
Flag, then hit the ? Block after for a Fire Flower. Grab the Fire Flower and as
you stand on the ? Block, it will trigger a number of coins to appear above.
Grab them and move right.

Double stomp the Paragoomba that jumps off the seesaw platform to defeat it,
then watch out for the Hammer Bros.' hammers below. Grab the coins above the
platform you're currently on and jump off onto the platform below you to your
right. This will trigger coins to appear on the platform. Grab them, then jump
up to the platform above. Jump through the red ring here to trigger eight red
coins to appear to your right. Jump along the top platforms, collecting all
eight red coins. Watch out for the Boomerang Bros.' boomerangs when collecting
the final three. Once you have them, you'll receive an item. From there, jump
onto the Boomerang Bros.

 | You'll land on a hidden platform below. Stand on the yellow Warp Pipe   |
 | and jump up to hit two invisible blocks that will give you a coin each. |

 | slightly after both return and this is your chance to stomp the one     |
 | below you. Once it's defeated, coins will appear on the platform above. |
 | Jump up and grab them. Now wait for the boomerangs from the other       |
 | Boomerang Bros. to return, then jump into the spot between the two      |
 | columns in the centre of the area. Grab the coins here, including the   |
 | Star Coin and jump back out before the boomerangs can hit you.          |

Continue right, past the sign with an arrow pointing up and past the elevator
platform. Quickly run past the Hammer Bros.' hammers and stand under the brick
blocks that he's on. Jump up and hit the brick block that he's on to defeat
him. Make sure you hit the right of the three brick blocks after defeating him
as a 1-Up will appear. Quickly jump onto the brick blocks and jump to the
platform to your right and grab the 1-Up before it drops off of it. Collect
the coins here then move back to the elevator platform and jump on.

Ride the elevator platform to the top, then jump through the orange platforms.
There's a Boomerang Bros. and a Koopa Troopa here. Move right until you're
under the Boomerang Bros. Wait for it to move onto the one brick block, then
hit the brick block to defeat it. Watch out for any stray boomerangs then jump
to the platform to your right, with the Gold Roulette Block on it. Try and max
the amount of coins you receive for hitting it, collect your prize, then move
back left.

Defeat the Koopa Troop on the orange platform to your left to cause coins to
appear along the large platform below. Collect them, then ride the next
elevator platform to the top. Jump through the orange platforms. You'll see a
Sledge Bro. (a large Hammer Bro.) above. Jump just before the Sledge Bro. slams
into the ground. If you're on any platform when it does, you'll be temporarily
stunned. Otherwise, watch out for his sledge hammers and wait for a good time
to jump onto his platforms and stomp him. When you defeat him, coins will line
the platform below. Jump down and collect them.

Hit the ? Block to the right of the Sledge Bro.'s platform for a Fire Flower
and the brick block to the left multiple times until it turns into a Gold Block
which you can jump into. Do so and continue left.

Move right and, if you're Fire Mario, hit the Pokey with fireballs to defeat
it. Move to the very right side of the area to make a number of coins appear on
the steps to your left. Grab them then enter the Warp Pipe. If you're not Fire
Mario, skip what's written above and simply enter the Warp Pipe.

You'll exit the Warp Pipe and fall down a long hole, grabbing coins as you go.
Once you reach the bottom, a block will move and block you from going back.
Continue right! Jump onto the moving platform when it gets close enough. Hit
the ? Block above you when you move beneath it. It contains a Super Leaf. Grab
it. Hit the brick block next to it for a coin. Jump to the next brick block
platform and continue.

Even if you're Fire Mario, use the platform moving up and down through the
Pokey ahead to jump over it. Once you're over, stomp and pick up the Buzzy
Beetle. Now jump up and throw it into the gap between the two brick blocks to
your left, the one where the Pokey is. The beetle shell will defeat the Pokey
and give you a 1-Up for doing so. Now jump over and stand on the left of the
two brick blocks that the shell is bouncing between. It will turn into a Gold
Block and start vomitting out coins. Stand on it to collect them. Be careful
you're out of the rode of the shell when the Gold Block disappears, otherwise
you'll get hurt. Continue on.

There are rotating wheels of platforms up ahead. Jump onto the platform that's
one platform clockwise of the one with the Pokey on it. Wait and let it rotate
around to the next one, then jump onto the platform that's one platform
clockwise from the platform with the Pokey on it. Wait until you can, the jump
onto the other free platform on this wheel of platforms.

Wait until you move close to the next wheel of platforms, then jump onto the
free platforms one ahead of the Pokey. Move around and jump off to the next
platform straight away. If you stay on, you risk getting hit by the Pokey when
your platform moves through it.

Pick up and place the trampoline under the Gold Roulette Block. Time your jump
up into the block so that you won't hit the Spike Top. Collect the coins that
the block gives you, then move the trampoline so that it's under the item
Roulette Block. Grab the item it gives you, then move the trampoline through
the Checkpoint Flag, kicking it and drop the trampoline under the next Gold
Roulette Block. Do the same with this one as you did for the first.

Ahead are a set of platforms moving up and down. Jump onto the one without the
Pokey on it. If the Pokey's on the lower one, jump from the upper one onto the
brick blocks to your right. Stomp the Buzzy Beetle and pick it up. Throw it at
the Pokey to destroy one of its segments. Now jump back onto the top platform.
Move to the very left side of it then jump back off onto the platform to your
right. Another Buzzy Beetle will have appeared. Use it to destroy another
segment. Repeat until the Pokey is completely defeated. If the Pokey was on
the upper platform, simply skip the above steps. Now, grab another Buzzy Beetle
and jump onto the lower platform with it. Throw it at the exposed Red POW Block
to your right, when the platform's almost as low as it will go. You may need ot
attempt it a few times by getting more Buzzy Beetles, but you should eventually
manage it.

Once you've hit the red POW Block, jump from the lower platform into the aree
that the POW Block's explosion created. Move right and enter the Warp Pipe
here.

 | that formed that platform that the beetle just dropped from and perform |
 | a running jump off of that onto the top of the brick blocks to your     |
 | left. Move left and drop the shell into the small hole in the brick     |
 | blocks. It will hit another red POW Block, score you a crapload of      |
 | coins and defeat all of the Goombas running along the bottom. Once it's |
 | off-screen, drop down onto the ground below. Move right, stomping any   |
 | Goombas appearing from the red Warp Pipe, until you reach the end. Jump |

Hit the brick blocks that make up the platforms for coins. Hit the ? Block in
the left small platform for another coin, and the one in the right platform for
a Super Leaf. Grab it. Jump onto the platforms moving up and down. When the
platform your on is almost below screen, jump onto the next one to your left.
You'll move up into the red ring. Eight coins will appear which you need to
quickly collect. Collect them in an anti-clockwise order, starting from the top
one. The most difficult to collect is the bottom one. Make sure you're almost
below screen on the left platforms before jumping to the middle set and
grabbing the bottom coin. Once you have them all, grab your reward then move
back onto the middle set of moving platforms.

 | Coin. When you reach it, take a running jump off of the platform toward |

Move back left, over the Pokey and set of quicksand. Between the first and
second sets of quicksand are a few brick blocks with a red POW Block. Stomp it
and a Trampoline will appear. Grab it and throw it onto the platform moving
horizontally above the quicksand to your right. Use it to jump up and hit the
P-Switch above you (watch out for the Pokey as you're doing this) and a tonne
of blue coins will temporarily appear.

Use the Trampoline to grab as many coins as possible, avoiding the Pokey the
entire time. Once they disappear, continue back right to the Buzzy Beetle and
green Warp Pipe. Enter the Warp Pipe and you'll be fire up into the air above.
You'll appear back above ground. Move right and jump onto the stone blocks.
Jump from block to block, watching out for the Pokies and gaining more
momentum as you go by running. By the top block you should have a large amount
of momentum. Jump off of the edge and drop down onto the Goal Pole. Hover if
you're still Raccoon Mario to make it easier.

Grab the coins, move right and jump onto the first platform. It will shoot off
of its rail into the air. Stand on the right edge of the platform and you'll
grab the coins as you go past. Jump at the end to collect the last of the coins
and land on the static platform. Hit the left ? Block for a coin and the right
one for a Super Leaf. Stand on the ? Block to cause coins to appear above you.
Collect them, then jump onto the next platform.

Land on the right edge of the platform. It will begin moving up. At the peak
of its arc, jump off onto the platform above. Stomp the red Koopa Troopa here
and kick it away. Hit the Gold Roulette Block for coins. Collect them, then run
right and jump onto the next platform.

Stand on the right side as it moves along. Use the coins as a guide on when to
jump. Jump just as you move under the next platform, grab the coins as you do
and land on the next one. Move over to the right side. Follow the coins along
and jump to the next one when the coin trail suddenly begins moving back
upwards.

Jump up and collect the coins above you, then jump onto the next platform. Hit
the Checkpoint Flag. Hit the two lower ? Blocks to either side of the flag for
coins, then jump onto these ? Blocks and hit the two above them. The left one
contains another coins, but the right one contains a Super Leaf.

 | onto the right side of the platform. You'll collect a whole bunch of    |
 | blue coins. When you move past the next platform, jump onto the right   |
 | side of that one. Follow this one until the coins stop, then take a     |
 | jump right, towards the final Star Coin. You'll land on some coins that |
 | are temporarily bricks. Quickly jump and grab the Star Coin before they |

Collect the coins above the platform then onto the right side of the next
moving platform. Follow it along and when the trail of coins deviates from the
path of the platform, jump off and follow the trail of coins down. You'll land
on the left side of the platform below.

Hit the ? Blocks here for a coin and a Super Leaf. Now jump to the platform to
your right, collect the coins there and jump onto the left side of the moving
platform to your right. Move right, along the platform as the trail of coins
does. Emulate the path of the trail of coins, jumping off of the platform to
follow it. Follow them down onto the top of the Goal Pole and you're done!

Watch out for the Giant Dry Bones below. Hit the ? Block to your left for a
coin and the one to your right for a Super Leaf. You cannot stomp the Giant Dry
Bones to defeat it; you'll only bounce off. The only way to defeat it is by
Ground Pounding it and even then, it's death is only temporary. Once you're
ready, jump up onto the orange platforms.

As the lowest two blocks above you begin moving in, jump up and onto them. They
will all move into place and leave you with only a small box to move around in.
When they begin moving back out, just before you're pushed off of your current
block. jump onto the block that's trying to push you off (make sure there's
room to jump onto it first). From there, jump over to the dash coins on your
side. Move through them and collect them as the blocks are moving back together
again.

Move to the other side when you're able and collect the dash coins there. Now
wait for the block moving vertically to move down and stop. Jump onto it. Ride
it up until it stops.

Jump up through the orange platform. Hit the Large ? Block for three coins.
Wait for the blocks moving up and down to your left to begin moving, then
quickly run underneath them to collect the coins. Jump up through the orange
platform and hit the brick block next to the second platform for a Super Leaf.
Grab it and jump through the second platform. Hit the four brick blocks above
for a coin each. You can now run between the two sets of moving blocks and
collect the coins between them if you want. If you do, backtrack to where you
were and then jump up onto the brick blocks.

You can run along the top of the top set of moving blocks for even more coins
if you want, but make sure to backtrack to where you are. Jump up onto the
orange platform above the top set of moving blocks. Stomp the Undead Goomba to
your right, then hit the brick block surrounded by the ring of coins for an
extra coin. Grab the ring of coins and jump to the next orange platform. Make
sure that the Giant Dry Bones is out of the way when you do.

Ground Pound the Giant Dry Bones, collect the coins around the brick block and
hit the brick block multiple times for coins. From there, jump up to the next
orange platform and stomp the Dry Bones there. Hit the two Large ? Blocks for
three coins each, then use them as a platform to reach the orange platform
above. Stomp the two Undead Goombas moving towards you then hit the Large ?
Block to your right for two coins and a Super Leaf. Use the Large ? Block as a
platform to jump through the dash coins, then grab them. Hit the Checkpoint
Flag.

Move up the steps to your left, then jump through the orange platform. Wait for
the spike blocks to begin moving up, then quickly jump up from platform to
platform. Once you're out of the way of the spike blocks, continue jumping up
through the orange platforms until you reach the one with the Undead Goomba
moving along it. Jump through the the orange platform without touching the
Undead Goomba and stomp it. Move left and drop down through into the hole with
the dash coins. Collect the dash coins, then attempt to jump out of the hole to
find two invisible blocks, one giving you a coin and the other a 1-Up, which
you can't reach (Why you torment me, Nintendo?!). Enter the door.

Jump up onto the orange platform to your right and hit the Large ? Block for
three coins. Jump up onto the block, hit the next block above it for more
coins, then jump up onto it when the moving block's moving right. From there,
jump onto the platform above and hit yet another Large ? Block. If you ride the
moving block next to it over to the brick block to your right, crouch as you
move under it then jump into it, you'll find that it contains a 1-Up. You need
to fall back to the ground below to grab it though. Once you're ready, move
back to the Large ? Block with the Dry Bones on it, then use it as a platform
to reach the orange platforms above.

Jump up along them. Jump over and hit the Large ? Block to your right for two
coins and a Super Leaf, then move through all of the dash coins around the
block to make them appear, then collect them. Continue moving up the orange
platforms until you reach the top one.

 | A terribly uncreative battle, you're now against four Reznors instead   |
 | of two. Engage them in the same way as you did last time. It's best to  |
 | wait on the ground and hit the Large ? Blocks from underneath as        |
 | they're moving up along the left side of the wheel. Wait for each one   |
 | to move around to this spot, then hit it and defeat the Reznor on it.   |

 |                                                                         |
 | After a small while the platform will begin slowly disappearing. If     |
 | you're not quick enough to defeat the Reznors before then, simply       |
 | defeat them by standing on the Large ? Block and waiting until you're   |
 | underneath the blocks with the Reznors on them, then jump up into them  |
 | to defeat them. It should all be fairly easy. It's better to get rid of |

Koopa Troopa is. Stomp it and pick up its shell. Throw it at the brick block
blocking the small entrance to a bonus area. Move back and hit the Roulette
Block for an item. Now run and crouch just before the newly-opened entrance to

Move right, jump over the Pokey and collect the coins. Move through the
Checkpoint Flag to hit it. If for some reason you're Raccoon Mario, you can
fill your P-Meter up by running along the ground here then fly up to a platform
above the Checkpoint Flag and grab the tonne of coins there if you wish. If
not, hit the ? Block after it for a Fire Flower. Grab it and hit the Spinies
with the fireballs. You'll come to yet more platforms. Move up the left-most
platforms. Hit the ? Block then move right and defeat the Spiny and Pokey here
with your fireballs. Drop down to where the Pokey was and enter the yellow Warp
Pipe there.

Jump into the yellow ring by performing a large jump off of a Goomba when you
stomp it. Now, while the Goombas being spawned are gold, hit as many of them as
you can with your fireballs. You'll earn five coins for each Goomba defeated.
Continue until they turn back into regular Goombas.

Jump up through the platforms and defeat the Spinies and Pokeys above. Continue
moving up until you reach the top. Defeat the Pokey moving between the two ?

Those cuties we know as Chain Chomps are in this course! Get keen, lads! Move
right and hit the first ? Block for a Super Leaf. Obviously, watch out for the
Chain Chomp and its spontaneous attacks. The other ? Block and two brick blocks
only contain coins. Continue right until you reach the next Chain Chomp.

Grab the coins from below it then move back around and jump onto the platform
to the left of it. Take a running jump over the Chain Chomp, causing the dash
coins that you move through to appear. Jump back if you want the coins,
otherwise continue on until you reach the third Chain Chomp.

 | Stay out of range of this Chain Chomp. As soon as you get the chance,   |
 | run in and Ground Pound the stake that the Chain Chomp's tethered to.   |
 | He will no longer be chained up and will fly off-screen. Now move over  |
 | and begin breaking the brick blocks to his right by Tail Spinning them. |
 | Move through the gap you create, then grab the Star Coin above the      |
 | quicksand. Quickly jump out of the sand and run back left. Jump onto    |
 | the orange platform to the left of where the Chain Chomp was tethered.  |
 | Jump to the next orange platform to your right and continue on.         |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Yep, more Chain Chomps! Jump past the first one then stand on the brick block
and ? Block between the two. Ground Pound the blocks for coins (the brick block
you can pound multiple times for coins).

 |                                                                         |
 | Do you remember how you Ground Pounded the stake of one of the Chain    |
 | Chomps from before? Well you're going to do it for this next Chain      |
 | Chomp, but it needs to be Ground Pounded three times. Do this by        |
 | waiting for an opportune time, run in Ground Pound and move back out of |
 | range of the Chain Chomp. Repeat this two more times and the Chain      |
 | Chomp will be free and fly off the screen. The platform that the stake  |
 | was stuck in will now lower. Drop down onto it and enter the red Warp   |
 | Pipe to your right.                                                     |
 |                                                                         |
 | Use the brick blocks to jump up onto either of the orange platforms,    |
 | when you won't get hit by the Chain Chomp of course. Now, quickly jump  |
 | up to the platform with the Star Coin on it and grab it. Now you can    |
 | either drop down past the Chain Chomps or collect the coins to the left |
 | of them or hit the ? Block to the right of them for a Super Leaf. Exit  |
 | the area through the blue Warp Pipe.                                    |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Move right and hit the Checkpoint Flag. Continue right until you enter the
tunnel. Hit the first ? Block there for a coin and the second one for a Super
Leaf. Drop down to where the Chain Chomp is tethered below, then run left and
drop to the platform one below it. It's worth remembering that Chain Chomps
can't attack anywhere below the platform it's on, so know need to worry about
the one above you.

 |                                                                         |
 | Careful of the Chain Chomp below you. Run right until you drop to a     |
 | lower platform then drop to the ground where the Chain Chomp is. Jump   |
 | over it, collect the Star Coin to its left, then jump up to the         |
 | platform above, out of the rode of all of the Chain Chomps.             |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Continue right, collecting the rest of the coins and watching out for the rest
of the Chain Chomps. Once you're out of the tunnel continue and jump onto the
orange platform. You'll notice a Boomerang Bro. to your right. Dodge its
boomerangs and stomp it. Continue on past the next Chain Chomp and move through
the red ring. Grab the four red coins along the bottom, watching out for both
chain chomps, then jump to one of the platforms above and jump between them to
collect the coins connected to parachutes as they float down. Once you collect
them all, grab your prize and continue along.

You'll reach the final set of stairs. Jump up them from the bottom to the top,
all whilst running to gain momentum. Jump off the very right edge of the top
platform to reach the top of that wonderful, sexy Goal Pole!

The large platform floating on the lava to your right works similarly to a
Switchboard in SM3DL, in that it only moves if you're physically touching it.
Whenever you're physically touching it, it will move to the right, not matter
where you're positioned on it. As soon as you stop touching it though, it will
immediately stop moving too. Use this to your advantage. Jumping repeatedly so
that you're spending more time in the air than touching and forcing the
platform to move will prove invaluable at times throughout this course.

Move right and jump onto the platform. It will begin moving right. Move right
along it and hit the blocks. The middle one contains a Super Leaf while the
ones to either side contain coins. Grab the Super Leaf then drop back down.
Slowly edge the platform forward by repeatedly jumping until the rotating brick
block platforms open up and the Buzzy Beetles drop down. If you only moved far
enough to cause this to happen, they'll fall straight into the lava.

 |                                                                         |
 | Continue on. Grab the coins as you move past them. Let the next Buzzy   |
 | Beetle fall into the lava before you reach it. Continue until you cause |
 | the next lot of brick block platforms to rotate. They should now both   |
 | rotate so that they each create a vertical line. Jump onto the first    |
 | one. From there, jump to the taller second one. Jump toward the Star    |
 | Coin to grab it, then drop back down to the platform.                   |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

Allow the platform to move right enough so that it has a small portion past the
second rotating brick block platform. Jump back onto the first brick platform,
then again jump to the second one then drop down onto the right side of the
platform to your right.

Collect the next lot of coins as you move under them. Keep stalling your
movement by repeatedly jumping until the two Buzzy Beetles ahead try and slide
toward you. They'll fall in the lava. When they do, continue on. Move to the
very right edge of the platform and begin repeatedly jumping just before you
reach the Thwomp. If you time it right, it will thwomp straight into the lava
and disappear. If not, it will land on the platform. As it's moving back up,
run beneath it until you're past it. Repeat for the next Thwomp. Jump off onto
the static platform and hit the Checkpoint Flag when you reach it.

Hit the left ? Block ahead for a coin and the right for a Super Leaf. Jump onto
the next platform. This one acts in the exact same way as the other one did
before. Run to the right side of it. Hit the brick blocks to either side of the
? Block for a coin each, then hit the ? Block itself. A trampoline will appear
above it. Jump up onto the blocks and pick it up. Jump through the dash coins
above to make them appear, then jump through them again to collect them.

 |                                                                         |
 | Wait for any fireballs to fall back into the lava, then drop down onto  |
 | the platform and continue riding it right. Drop the trampoline down     |
 | before where the brick block platform is rotating around and around in  |
 | the lava. Jump onto it. Bouncing off of it won't cause the platform to  |
 | move, so don't worry. Anticipate when the Star Coin will appear         |
 | on-screen from above and time your jump so that you jump up and grab it |
 | as it's moving past. Once you have it drop back down to the platform.   |
 | If you want the third Star Coin (and who the hell wouldn't?! :D), pick  |
 | that Trampoline back up! You're going to have to carry it all the way   |
 | to the end of the course.                                               |
 |                                                                         |
 o_________________________________________________________________________o

If you want, you can drop the Trampoline down on the platform again and use it
to jump up and grab the dash coins. Move the Trampoline to the right edge of
the platform and stand just to the left of it. The platform will move past the
brick block platforms ahead. Crouch down when you reach the first one to move
under it. Then pick up the Trampoline and jump onto the second one. Jump up
into the red ring to grab it and make eight red coins appear temporarily.

Move right and grab these coins as you go. When you reach the final three, you
may want to throw down your Trampoline and use it to reach the very top one.
Once you have them all, collect your reward and continue on. Watch out for the
rotating brick blocks as you're grabbing the coins too.

Continue onto the next rotating brick platform. When it rotates, a number of
fireballs will appear either side of it and will land underneath it, so make
sure you're out of the rode when this happens. Once it does, throw your
Trampoline down onto the platform and continue until the Trampoline's beneath
the red Warp Pipe above you.

 | Use the Trampoline to jump up into the Warp Pipe. You'll appear in a    |
 | room with the Star Coin high above you. Move left and hit the left      |
 | brick block. A P-Switch will appear. Trigger the switch. Now, you must  |
 | quickly jump up into the first set of lower dash coin outlines. They'll |
 | appear as brick blocks. Jump up onto the brick blocks and jump through  |
 | the dash coin outlines beneath the Star Coin. Jump up onto these brick  |
 | blocks when they appear, then jump up into the Star Coin itself to grab |
 | it. Make sure you're quick enough, as once the coins turn back into     |
 | bricks and vice versa, you will be unable to grab the Star Coin.        |
 |                                                                         |
 | Drop back to the ground. Grab all the coins that you can, if you so     |
 | want to, then exit through the Warp Pipe along the bottom of the right  |
 | side of the room. You'll land on the platform with the double doors on  |
 | it. Enter these doors.                                                  |

 | Run right until you reach the room at the end of the hallway. The door  |
 | will shut and Iggy Koopa will appear. His pet chain chomp will then     |
 |appear, pulling a carriage. Iggy will jump onto it and the battle will   |
 | begin!                                                                  |
 |                                                                         |
 | First of all, you need to understand how the Chain Chomp's movements    |
 | work. It has nine possible positions that it can stop at, arranged in a |
 | 3 by 3 grid. The Chain Chomp moves to a new adjacent position every few |
 | seconds. After moving, it will face the direction that it's going to    |
 | move to next. Use this to plan where you should be ahead of time so     |
 | that you can stomp Iggy Koopa with ease. Iggy's carriage will always be |
 | one position behind the Chain Chomp.                                    |
 |                                                                         |
 | Iggy Koopa needs to be stomped thrice (that's 'three times' for you     |
 | people lacking class) to be defeated. Position yourself so that you can |
 | be above where Iggy Koopa will be pulled to next, but watch out that    |
 | the Chain Chomp doesn't move up into you. When you're able, drop down   |
 | and stomp Iggy. When this happens, the Chain Chomp will turn red and    |
 | quickly move off screen. Move out of its rode while it's doing this or  |
 | you could be hurt.                                                      |
 |                                                                         |
 | If the Chain Chomp moved off below screen, he will appear from the      |
 | bottom of the screen. If he moved off above screen, he will appear from |
 | the top of the screen. He will be heralded by some sand appearing from  |
 | the spot that he'll appear from, so move out of the rode of the spot    |
 | where the sands appearing.                                              |
 |                                                                         |
 | The Chain Chomp will reappear. Now simply repeat this process two more  |
 | times. Each time Iggy Koopa gets hurt, the Chain Chomp will begin       |
 | moving faster and faster. After he's been hit once, he'll begin firing  |
 | green fireballs, so you need to watch out for these too. Additionally,  |
 | the Chain Chomp will begin to randomly move off screen at times. He     |
 | will then reappear from the same side of the screen and he'll be        |
 | preceded by sand, just like after when Iggy gets hurt.                  |
 |                                                                         |
 | Once you've stomped Iggy the third time, he'll be defeated. After the   |
 | battle, Iggy will fall away and a door will open up leading right.      |
 | Mario will move through the door and come upon Wendy O. Koopa with      |
 | Princess Peach. She will steal her away and run to World 3. We must     |
 | follow!                                                                 |

Thanks to Nintendo for making another worthy addition to the New Super Mario
Bros. series and to the Mario franchise as a whole.

Thank you to CJayC, SBAllen and Devin of course!

A massive thank you to the (Independent) Super Mario Wiki. The members of this
Wiki provided me with excellent information on many of the Star Coins that I
missed or couldn't find, as well as once again supplying me with the official
names of enemies, when I happen to forget them. You guys do an awesome job!

Thanks to NIWA, the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. Having used various
NIWA member sites' information as references for my guides, I appreciate and
support the brilliant work done by them.

Thanks to GlassGiant.com for a very nice ASCII art generator.

Thanks to super_luigi16 just because he keeps thanking me in his guides (stop
being so damn flattering)! I joke, thanks for being an epic source of help,
inspiration and American-ness for both this FAQ, the ones that came before and
the ones that are sure to come after! Have I won yet? ;)


Thanks to you, the reader, for reading this guide! You're the reason I write!

So here concludes what is now my fifteenth guide; a milestone! I hope this FAQ
has proved to be a useful tool in your playing experience of NSMB2 and that
you've found enjoyment in this game! Be sure to check out more FAQs for Mario
3DS games by me in the future! YES, THERE WILL BE MORE.

Paper Mario: Super Sticker anyone? ;) In that FAQ, I'll be teaming up with my</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
friend super_luigi16, who has covered a number of 3DS Mario games also, so stay
tuned!
