This two-floor hub room also has two doors on the first floor. They both lead to an even lower area, with the [[Diamond Stone]] room to the left and the [[Lunar Stone]] room to the right. There is also a [[Super Block]] and a trampoline which can be used to get back to the previous area. After getting all three of the stones (all of which involve breaking a [[stone block]] and battling two [[Stone Chomp]]s), Mario needs to place them in receptacles in a corridor with Chomp statues. This unlocks the stairs to Tutankoopa's room, with a [[Heart Block]] and a [[Save Block]] on the way. | |||
