Layout
As the original mission, Mario lands on the starting planet and is allocated four minutes. The goal remains the same: Mario arrives to the top of the structure underneath the planet, but instead of having tospin to open acrystal containing aLuma, the Luma is already there and transforms immediately to aSling Star as Mario talks to the Luma. The Sling Star launches Mario to aLaunch Star that launches Mario to the boulder planet, this time featuringChomps as opposed toboulders. The goal also remains the same here: Mario collects five yellowStar Chips that form a Launch Star, which takes him to the bean planet. The bean planet also contains the same goal as before: defeating thePiranha Plant spawns aSproutle Vine. Using the Mario Sproutle Vine, Mario lands on the bitten apple planet. Even here, boulders are replaced by Chomps. Defeating theSpiny Piranha Plant spawns a Sproutle Vine. This Sproutle Vine takes Mario to the block-climb planet. Mario can alternatively defeat a lone Piranha Plant atop aWarp Pipe to access the flipswitch planet, which he then navigates by activating allFlipswitch Panels found there until a Launch Star takes him to the block-climb planet. Mario then navigates the block-climb planet, destroys the crystal containing a Launch Star, and travels to the dino geo planet.Dino Piranha is fought using the same strategy as before: spinning four times at its tail defeats it, revealing thePower Star. Grabbing the Power Star stops the timer, ending the mission.
