Layout[edit]

Mario starts at the bottom where to get to the top he must climbRopes while avoidingSnapjaws thrown by Donkey Kong that go down the ropes to get him. There are alsospikes in the gaps which cause Mario to lose a life. Mario must climb up the ropes up and across the platform with a Snapjaw where he can knockfruit down to defeat it. After climbing across the four ropes Mario must jump from the last rope over to two more where he can jump over to knock the fruit down to defeat the Snapjaw below. Mario can either choose to jump to the next rope or use theJump Stand to get up to the next rope. Once on it he must climb up while still avoiding the Snapjaws until he reaches the top. Then he must head left and hold on to the rope if there are any Snapjaws in his way then make it to the last rope to climb up toPauline ending the level with Donkey Kong taking Pauline away again.

Cutscene after level completion[edit]

Donkey Kong runs and encounters someBarrels (which he puts Pauline on top of) and throws them at Mario once he arrives. Mariojumps over the first barrel thenHandstand Jumps over the second barrel, then he deflects the last two barrels with his feet. Donkey Kong is shocked by this, grabs Pauline and runs while Mario chases after Donkey Kong while still handstanding. This cutscene shows the handstand can also block barrel attacks from above.
