Take the time to familiarize yourself with Mario's many moves before going into the castle. Levels in this game are located inside large paintings on the walls. To reach them you go thorugh the doors, but some doors have a number on them. To open these doors you will need at least that many stars. The first level is located through the door on the left side of the castle's front hall, the door can be opened without any stars. A large paining of Bomb-ombs sits on the wall, jump into this painting and you'll be inside the very first level. ______________________________________________________________________________ ~~\/~~~~~~\/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\/~~~~~~\/~~ || 1.00 || Bomb-omb Battlefield || 1.00 || __||______||______________________________________________________||______||__ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______ (, / ) /---( ) / ____) +-- (_/ ( IG BOMB-OMB ON THE SUMMIT ---------------------------- 1.01 --+ Your goal here is to make it to the top of the mountain and defeat the king Bomb-omb on top. Run up the path and across the bridge. Stay on the path and run past the large chomp on the chain, be careful because he can reach the path when he really stretches out. Across the tilting bridge run toward the large cage-like wall. Through it you'll see some lare steel balls rolloing back and forth. Jump past these things and run up the path. Be careful because there are lare metal balls rolling down toward you. When you reach the little alcove where they are dropping down from there is a secret if you wish to take it. Step into the little area where they drop and stand in the middle. You'll be teleported virtually to the top! If you choose not to take this for whatever reason, there's a few gaps you'll have to jump over. At the point where there is a thin bridge with coins on it, it's easier to just use the long jump to get across. Note that little spinning heart icon on your way up will refill your health entirely just by touching it. From here it's smooth sailing around and around until you reach the top. Run up to the Big Bomb-omp and he'll speak with you, then the fight begins! All you need to do is that you don't get in front of him, the Big Bomb-omb will grab you and throw you quite far with the intent of trying to throw you off the mountain. To damage the bomb you need to run around behind him and press the B button. This will allow you to grab the big guy and press the button again to throw him. Afer you've thrown him wait a couple of seconds after he gets up, otherwise he spins too fast and you can't get behind him. One last thing, it's against the royal rules to throw the Big Bomb-omb out of the ring, so don't, or the fight will just start over again. Once the big guy is defeated then the star pops out of him. Head next to star number 1 (point) 02. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 001 --- REMAINING: 119 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ________) (, / /___, ) / +-- (_/ OOTRACE WITH KOOPA THE QUICK ------------------------------ 1.02 --+ Standing just ahead of you for this one is a large koopa (turtle thing). Approach him and he will challenge you to a race to the summit, the same summit where you just fought the previous boss. Start running like mad! Your normal running speed should be faster than Koopa the Quick and you'll be even faster if you keep using the long jump, but like they say, slow and steady wins the race, and Koopa the Quick is indeed quite steady. All you really have to do is focus on not screwing up. Run past the large chomp and jump across the bridge. You can frantically start running up the mountain path, jumping over the balls as they fall. The one thing to keep in mind is NOT to use the teleporter, that's cheating, and Koopa the Quick is a smart guy. No cheating. It's easy enough to make it to the top first anyway as long as you don't do something totally stupid like fall off. Also remember cheating still doesn't exclude things like using the double jump as you get close to the top to grab the ledge and save yourself the time of running all the way around, so feel free to do that. When Koopa arrives he gives you the star for totally whooping his ass in the race. Take the star and head to number 1 (point) 03. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 002 --- REMAINING: 118 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ __ (__/ ) / ) / +-- (_/ HOOT TO THE ISLAND IN THE SKY ------------------------------- 1.03 --+ Notice those two nice little pink Bomb-omb men at the beginning, well speak to them and they'll open up the cannons for you. Let'sstart by dropping into the cannon right here at the beginning. If Mario happens to grab the ledge as he falls into the hole, simply press the analog stick in the opposite direction to the ledge he's holding and you'll drop. Notice that you now have crosshairs to aim wherever you please. Start by aiming them directly at the bridge nearby, after that point them up. About halfway between the bridge and the highest point you can aim in the sky, then press A to fire. You should land near some Goombas and a Koopa. If you like you can bounce on the Koopas head to knock him out of the shell, then go surfing on the shell, but that's not what we're here to do. Notice there are a number of large rock surfaces here, well one if them is kind of more square-shaped than the others, on a slight angle. Climb to the top of this one and you'll find a cannon in it. Directly ahead of this cannon you should see an island in the sky. Don't aim directly at the island, line it up with the cannon then point the cannon as high as you possibly can into the sky and fire. Remember that when Mario shoots out of a cannon, no matter how high he goes he will never take damage when he lands (unlike if you fall off something.) After doing this you should land on the island, if not then just try again. You'll notice there is a cannon on here as well, ignore it for now. Your focus is the yellow box floating here, jump to hit it with your head and a star will pop out. That's the star you were looking for, it's time to head to star number 1 (point) 04. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 003 --- REMAINING: 117 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ________) (, / /___, ) / +-- (_/ IND THE 8 RED COINS --------------------------------------- 1.04 --+ In every level in the game there are eight hidden red coins to find, once you find all eight a star will appear. So let's get started shall we? Follow the path and run across the bridge, as you cross the bridge you should see a red coin on your left, not far in the distance, but rather just above that moving platform thing. Jump on one of the platforms just before it goes vertical and jump to get the red coin. A number will appear keeping track of how many you have so far in the level, that's the first. Look in the distance toward the rocks and you should be able to see the second red coin on top of one of them, simply go jump up there and get it. That's number two. You'll find the third one if you head toward the chomp, notice the wooden pole he is chained to has a red coin on top of it. This is dangerous but run toward the pole on kind of an angle to get it. Remember that the chomp can attack from all angles so you aren't safe in the middle, get the hell out of there! Jump across the tilting bridge and then go left of the steps. You should find two red coins here among the tree stumps, this takes care of coins four and five. Now run toward the large cave wall that leads to the mountain but don't go through it, instead drop down to the left of it. Under the bridge here is a free life, a red coin and a button which opens the gate. You're up to six now. Now go back up and through that large cage wall. Notice on the left hill beside those rolling balls there is a red coin about two thirds of the way up the hill, if you can perhaps long jump twice to get it that's great, but most likely you're going to have to start climbing the mountain and slide down from the top (not the top of the mountain, the top of that hill, it only takes a few seconds to get around to that side. Now that you have coin number seven it's time to backtrack a bit. Remember the area with all the large rocks and the cannon that you used to get up to the floating island? Well go back there and use the cannon to get to the floating island again. You'll find the final eighth red coin by climbing the tree and jumping out to get it. The star appears back on the other side of the level where you found the two red coins near the tree stumps, go there and get it, then head to star 2 (point) 01. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 004 --- REMAINING: 116 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ __ __) (, /| /| / | / | +-- (_/ |/ |_ ARIO WINGS TO THE SKY ------------------------------- 1.05 --+ You need to have activated the red cap switch in order to complete this one successfully so make sure if you haven't been following the guide, that you've at least done that first. When you begin in this level run foward across the bridge to where all the large rocks and and get into the one with the cannon. Fire yourself up in the air to land on the floating island. There is a red cap box on the island here, get the cap but wait a second before you take off. Notice the circles of coins floating in mid air? Well in each circle there is a single coin in the middle, each time you get one of these coins a number will appear. There are five of them total and when you acquire all five, a star appears. You can do a triple jump off the island and have enough height to get the first three, but the last two are higher up so you won't be able to get them without firing yourself out of the cannon. Just remember to renew your cap each time you come back to the island and you'll be fine. Once you have the five coins go and get the star. Now head to number 1 (point) 06. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 015 --- REMAINING: 105 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ______ (, / ) /---( ) / ____) +-- (_/ ( EHIND CHOMP'S GATE ----------------------------------- 1.06 --+ This one is relatively easy, what you need to do is cross the bridge to where the large chomp is. Notice that he is chained to a wodden peg in the middle. Well tempt fate and run up to this wooden peg. What you need to do is do the butt stomp on top of it to pound it into the ground. Once you have done this three times, the chomp will bounce around and then break the gate behind it before taking off to freedom. Now you can easily reach the star since the gate is open. Time to net yourself 100 coins with star number 1 (point) 07. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 016 --- REMAINING: 104 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ __) /(, ) / / / / +-- (___ / NE HUNDRED COINS! ---------------------------------------- 1.07 --+ Directly ahead of you at the start are two medium sized bozes, punch them to get three coins. Beyond them is a smaller box, bring it to a vertical wall and smash it for a few more coins. There should be a couple of Goombas in the bridge area, kill them and also get the line of coins under the bridge. Follow this path on ground level where the Bomb-ombs are. Grab each one from behind and throw them, they explode into one coin. If they begin to chase you then run until they explode and get the coin. You should have taken out four of them by the time you reach the gate. Return to the bridge, don't worry if they respawn, they won't have any coins. By this point you should be at about 17/100. Get the red coin from the top of the elevator and kill the Bomb-omb there. Go into the rocky area to find six Goombas and a Koopa who drops a blue coin worth five when defeated. Get the red coin as well and you're up to 33/100. Get the red coin on top of the chomp's peg on your way past and cross the tilting bridge. Head left of the steps to where you'll find some Goombas and two red coins. Now here's a neat trick, see those tree stumps, or wooden pegs, or whatever they are? Run around each one of them over and over again, individually in circles, as fast as you can. Notice when you quickly circle around one about four times it spits out five coins, you can do this on each one individually for about 20 coins! This brings you to about 62/100. Jump up onto the ledge and look left near the wall to find one of those small bozes with three coins in it. Kill the four Bomb-ombs up here and look for the flower bed in the corner with a circle of coins around it. Try standing in the middle of the other flower bed, not the one with the coins. It will warp you to the other side of the level! Totally pointless, stand in the one you warp to, and you'll warp back again. Drop down into the area below the large gate thing to find another Bomb-omb and a red coin along with the gate switch. You should be at about 80/100 by now. Now start climbing the mountain, around the second corner or so you'll find a Bomb-omb to kill and just past that is the sloping grass hill with the red coin on it. Slide down and begin to climb the mountain again. Skip past the teleportation alcove and kill the Bomb-omb next to the cannon which is firing those large bubbles, there's also a line of coins here. Another line of coins is around the corner. Now you're at about 94/100. What do you do? The answer is simple, head to the floating island! If you count the many coins floating in the air in those circles which you can grab with your wing cap, there's way more than 100, but let me make a recommendation. Notice the red coin on top of the tree? Leave it. Fly around in the sky until you have either 98 or 99 coins then come back to get the red coin, and you'll have 100. The reason for this is no big deal, but since the star appears where you get the final coin, it's probably easier to get it from above the tree rather than floating in the air somewhere. Of course it's the yellow one you get, the blue one will appear as well, but that's just a duplicate since you got the eight red coins a second time, grab the yellow star and then your next destination is star numner 3 (point) 01. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 017 --- REMAINING: 103 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ~~\/~~~~~~\/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\/~~~~~~\/~~ || 2.00 || Whomp's Fortress || 2.00 || __||______||______________________________________________________||______||__ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ) ___ (__/_____) / / +-- (______) HIP OFF WHOMP'S BLOCK ---------------------------------- 2.01 --+ This level is located through the door with the number one star on the right side of the castle front hall. There's a sloping path in front of you. Run up the path and watch out for those slabs in the wall, they'll try and push you off. Fortunately if they do you'll land safely on the ground, the same cannot be said for those moving platforms after tham. Be careful there. When you reach a stomping bloock, wait for it to go up and jump up the stairs behind it. See that sleeping flower? To avoid waking it up, move the analog stick very slightly in the direction you wish to move. Alternately you can hold the Z button and hold the analog stick in any direction to crawl, this way the plant won't wake up when you try to get by and if you're close enough while it's still asleep, you can punch it for a blue coin worth five. After this there's kind of a fork in the path, you can press against the wall and walk or you can run across the grey bridge (which falls behind you) and then across the wooden board. There's a spinning platform, what you need to do is wait for it to spin around to your side and then run across it to the middle. When it spins to the other side, run across again. If you stay on the end, that lare gray block will knock you off. Watch out for the large stone slab enemies, notice the bandage on their back? To defeat these enemies, get close to one and it will drop face first. While it'son the ground you can do the butt stomp (jump and press Z) to smash them on the back and defeat them. Go up the elevator at the end and get ready for a boss fight. Defeating the boss means using the same strategy as the smaller versions, only this time you have to hit it more than once, and the large surface area means it's harder to dodge when it falls. Hit the monster three times and he will give up, offering his shiny star to you. Next head to star number 2 (point) 02. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 005 --- REMAINING: 115 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ______) (, / / ) / +-- (_/ TO THE TOP OF THE FORTRESS ---------------------------------- 2.02 --+ Now let's take a shortcut this time, see the tree beside you where you start? Climb into that tree, spin around to the opposite side and jump up onto the ledge with the water. On your right there should be a ramp with coins leading up, this will save you some time. Run past the sleeping flower, across the bridge and the moving platform, past the large slab enemies up to where you fought the boss, but the boss is gone now! In his place is a tower you need to climb. Run around to find the lowest platform and start climbing. Don't move too fast however because every other platform moves in and out, so it may or may not be there when you jump. The final platform is an elevator. Ride it up to the top and run around to the other side of the peak to find a nice golden start. Now it's time to head for the next star, number 2 (point) 03. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 006 --- REMAINING: 114 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ __ (__/ ) / ) / +-- (_/ HOOT INTO THE WILD BLUE ------------------------------------- 2.03 --+ Jump into the tree and then up onto the ground above it. Ignore the owl that pops out, this time go left and you should see a little pink bomb man who will prepare the cannon for you at once when you speak to him. Drop down into the little cannon thing and aim it kind of left where you will see a large pole with a yellow orb on top. Below that pole are a few brick pillars and a lower platform. When you want to do is point the cannon directly at the far pillar, the goal is for you to shoot and hit that pillar, which will stop you and you'll be on the lower platform below the enormous pole. Aim at said pillar and point the cannon up a bit so you get enough height. Just high enough so it's past the bottom of the large pole and fire. If all goes well you'll hit the back brick pillar and land on the platform beside another smaller pole going down. Slide down this pole to find a nice star floating there in the air waiting for you to get it. Next to to star number 2 (point) 04. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 007 --- REMAINING: 113 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ _____ (, / ) /__ / ) / \_ +-- (_/ ED COINS ON THE FLOATING ISLE ------------------------- 2.04 --+ Jump into the tree at the beginning and from there, up to the ground above. Go left and before you reach the little pink guy, notice the sloping ground, dark coloured, on a pretty steep angle. Run and jump quickly up this to find the first red coin. Now turn around and jump back down to where you start. Ignore the tree this time and begin up the normal path. You will find the second red coin by jumping up top of the second stone pusher-thing that pops out. Jump across the gaps afterward to reach the large stompers. Go past the first one, then when you get past the second one on the stairs, turn around and jump on top of it (the second one). When it raises into the air you should be able to jump and get the third red coin. Forget trying to be quiet, run quickly around behind the Piranaa Plant to get the fourth red coin, then press yourself against the wall as you shimmy across for the fifth one. For number six what you need to do is stand on the moving platform and run to the middle. When it shifts over to the other side then run to the end but don't get off, it will spin you around and net you the sixth red coin in the process. Run to the middle again and then get off on the other side. For the last two you need to ride the elevator up to where you fought the boss and where the large tower has appeared. Notice on the other side there is a large board of wodd standing straight up. Jump and kick this board of wood in mid- air to knock it down. Run across the board and jump to the first platform to acquire the seventh red coin, then from there across the two spinning platformswhere you will find the eight red coin. Now you need to get back to the very beginning. You can backtrack if you want, you can drop and just take damage if you want, or you can drop and use the trick. Jump down and just before you hit the ground, press Z to do the butt stomp and you won't get hurt. Grab the star and then head to star number 2 (point) 05. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 008 --- REMAINING: 112 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ________) (, / /___, ) / +-- (_/ ALL ONTO THE CAGED ISLAND --------------------------------- 2.05 --+ This one is somewhat difficult, but I'm sure you can manage. What you need to do is jump into the first tree so the owl pops out, then jump back down. Press the A button to jump up into the owl's talons and don't let go of the A button. The owl will carry you high up into the air. Once you reach the peak of your flight then you will have control of the owl. Keep holding A but you can move the analog stick to control the owl's flight. What happens is that you cannot slow down or speed up, just turn, while the owl slowly gets lower and lower as it flies. Your goal is located just beside those spinning platforms where you got the final red coin, look to your right when you reach the peak and you should see a cage in the air with a star inside. If you're good you can judge the distance and let go of the A button right away. For most people you will have to fly around for about ten seconds or so first to let the owl get lower, and judge the distance better. Fly over the cage and wait until you see your shadow in it before you drop. If the owl gets too low before you are able to drop, simply try again. Once you judge the angle correctly, you'll land in the cage for a star, head to number 3 (point) 06. -------- STARS COLLECTED [IF FOLLOWING GUIDE]: 009 --- REMAINING: 111 -------- ______________________________________________________________________________ ______ (, / ) /---( ) / ____) +-- (_/ ( LAST AWAY THE WALL ----------------------------------- 2.06 --+ This one is somewhat similar to "Shoot into the wild blue." Jump from the tree to the upper part and go left and into the same cannon as you used to reach that star (the cannon on the far left beside the little pink guy.) Instead of aiming for the pole however you'll want to do something different. Aim to your right and look directly up at the orange tower. Notice from this viewpoint that right below the orange tower, directly in front of your face is the corner of the wall. In fact if you look very closely, you'll be able to see an extremely thin diagonal white line. Basically what this line is telling you is "fire Mario directly at the top corner of this wall and something good will happen." Well not this corner, just t |
