LayoutEdit

 
The beginning.

The level starts in a dark hallway that leads to the first set of Switch Panels and a Spiny. Activating the Switch Panels opens up the path to some ? Blocks and the second set of Switch Panels guarded by two Spinies. Stimulating this set of Switch Panels leads to the level's Checkpoint Flag, the third group of Switch Panels and a Fire Piranha Plant. A moving platform takes the player to the final Switch Panel set, guarded by four Spinies and two Fire Piranha Plants. A nearby pipe leads to the Goal Pole.

CollectablesEdit

  • Green Star 1: In a circular room before the checkpoint, the player must use the Fire Flower to light all four torches to reveal the green star.
  • Green Star 2: Immediately after the checkpoint, the player must keep going right to find a hidden room with the green star.
  • Green Star 3: The third green star is behind the green Warp Pipe near the end of the level. The player needs to unveil an invisible rectangular ? Block to reach it.
