Star World 4 is the fourthStar Worldlevel inSuper Mario World. It takes place in the sky at night and features a rare red-coloredBaby Yoshi. It is unlocked by clearingForest Fortress or by clearingStar World 3'ssecret exit.

As with other Star World levels, the regular exit does not unlock anything. The secret exit is required to unlockStar World 5 and a Star Road leading toBowser's Castle'sFront Door. Star World 4 andValley of Bowser 4's secret exits are the only two exits inSuper Mario World to unlock two levels at once.

Layout[edit]

Star World 4 consists of one long screen, which the player has 300 seconds on theTimer to complete. There is a? Block halfway through the level which contains aCape Feather ifMario orLuigi are big, and aSuper Mushroom if they are small. This level has noDragon Coins in the original version, but theremake adds Dragon Coins. Like all Star World levels, there are two ways to beat the level.

Normal exit[edit]

The player will start next to a redYoshi Egg which will hatch into a red-colored Baby Yoshi once the player gets close to it. If the player has a cape, the player can fly through the entire level. If the player has no cape, they will need to progress to the right while avoidingKoopa Troopas andKoopa Paratroopas. A little less then halfway through the level is a ? Block with a power-up for the player. There are also a few columns of red Koopa Paratroopas to avoid. Three-quarters of the way through there is a blueunshelled Koopa which will kick aShell at the player. The player can also have greenYoshi eat a Blue Shell and fly through most of the level that way.

Secret exit[edit]

To find theKey andKeyhole, the player is expected to have completed theRed Switch Palace andGreen Switch Palace, however it is possible to jump off the green platform directly after the area with the pipes and float backwards underneath it as well, or to have Yoshi eat aBlue Shell. The player will also need a Shell or cape to hit the ? Block containing the Key next to the Keyhole. To get to the platform where the key and keyhole are, the player should drop down onto the green! Blocks located below the part with the orange pipe and continue right onto the red ! Blocks, then hit the ? Block next to the Keyhole for the Key. This will unlock the level'ssecret exit, allowing easy access toStar World 5 and to the Star Road leading to theFront Door of Bowser's Castle in theValley of Bowser.
