Layout

Throughout the level, Hoppycats appear by jumping from the bottom and top of the screen when the players jump near them. Jumping again will make the Hoppycats jump again and possibly land on a higher platform. A beanstalk contained in a hidden block leads to a bonus area. After the checkpoint, there are three sets of lifts with Hoppycats on them. There is then a long ? Block above a single lift holds the Wonder Flower. It can be released by making a Hoppycat jump on the lift then jump again to hit the block. Touching the Wonder Flower will make Big Hoppycats appear. Each time they jump, they will destroy any terrain above them. The players must climb upwards with the Big Hoppycats. At the top of this section is the Wonder Seed. After obtaining it, the Wonder Effect ends, and a nearby pipes transports the players to the Goal Pole. The players can bounce off of Hoppycats that jump from the ceiling to reach the top of it.

Hidden Character Blocks

• A Nabbit Hidden Character Block can be found where the first 10-flower coin is. It is two blocks to the left of and three blocks below the Talking Flower that says: "Boing! Boing!". It is a Coin Block.

10-flower coins

• 10-flower coin 1: It is below four Brick Blocks that can be destroyed by Hoppycats if the player jumps twice. Jumping a third time will make the Hoppycats jump to a higher platform so that the 10-flower coin can be collected safely.
