Swim for Your Life!, or Superstar Road-3, is the third course of Superstar Road in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked when the player collects every Star Coin in Sparkling Waters.

Layout[edit]

The course is based of the underwater levels in Sparkling Waters. The level begins above the water, with a Warp Pipe that leads underwater. A ? Block is found beneath the Warp Pipe, and a Cheep Chomp appears from the left side of the screen and chases the player. The player can go to the left side and find a Hidden Block with a 1-Up Mushroom. Another ? Block is found, along with some Cheep Cheeps and a Warp Pipe shooting out a jet of water. A few Urchins are encountered, along with some more Warp Pipe shooting out water. A wall of Urchins is found, and can be defeated by the player or the Cheep Chomp. Some more Urchins are found, along with Cheep Cheeps. A ? Block is found, along with some Urchins moving up and down between jets of water. A wall of Cheep Cheeps is then encountered. The player must then go past some Warp Pipes shooting out jets of water, where a ? Block is found, followed by an area with Spiny Cheep Cheeps. After a row of Spiny Cheep Cheeps, a Warp Pipe is found. The Warp Pipe leads above the water, where a row of Brick Blocks and the Goal Pole are found.

Star Coins[edit]

  • Star Coin 1: The first Star Coin is surrounded by a group of four Urchins. The player can defeat the Urchins, or allow the Cheep Chomp to defeat the Urchins for them.
  • Star Coin 2: The second Star Coin is found between two water jets that constantly move the coin's location.
  • Star Coin 3: At the end of the course, two Urchins block the final Star Coin. They must be defeated in order to safely get the coin.
