Layout[edit]
The level starts with sevenPower Meter Blocks, giving an extra boost to thePower Meter. There will be a series of eightThwomps trying to catch the player, each two positioned a block more down. Before the other four the next conveyor belt will be in reverse, making it difficult for the player to avoid Thwomps. Then, the player must perform a high jump to get to the next platform. There will be another conveyor belt in reverse, then the player performs a high jump and continue to run to avoid the pit that is next to. Right on, there will be another Thwomp and another conveyor belt pointing to right. There areBoos and the first Advance Coin in mid-level.
The second area starts with a few Boos and a few walls. The player must jump when in the conveyor belt to nab the second Advance Coin. After, there are fewTriangular Blocks, needed to get the third Advance Coin. After, there is a series of platforms where lies the fourth Advance Coin. The player has to get a perfect timing on the third platform to get the coin, due one tile gaps between platforms unallowingjumps.
The last area contains floating redspikes (like the red ones in theOrange Mushroom House mini-game) which makes the player lose a life even if they are powered up, no enemies, few coins, and the last Advance Coin. The player has to do tricky jumps to avoid the spikes and get the last Advance Coin. Near the end there will be a loneBrick Block containing a1-Up Mushroom, and Triangular Blocks. Now, the player has the remaining time to get out from the last area and getting the panel to exit the level.
