Layout
The player starts put on a ? Block platform, which only contains a Cannon which is needed to proceed to the next platform.
The next platform is in the shape of a Goomba. On this platform there are 2 Baddie Boxes which constantly spawn Goombas. There is also a Roulette Block and if a Star is gained the player can then destroy the Baddie Boxes for a few coins. On the other end of the platform is a Cannon to proceed to the next platform.
After firing from the Cannon the player will go through a Red Coin Ring which will spawn 5 red coins to collect when the player lands on the platform which is shaped like Lakitu's Cloud. If the player collects all the red coins in time they receive a 1-Up Mushroom. The player should then use the Cannon, located near the centre of the platform, to proceed to the next platform.
The next platform is shaped like a Bullet Bill and has many Bullet Bills and Tail Bullet Bills on it, as well as Flying Coin Blocks which give out multiple coins. If the player goes to the block near where the Bullet Bills are being fired from and uses either the Tanooki Suit or Statue Leaf they can destroy the Brick Block and go into a small corridor which branches off to the left and right, nothing is to the left, but if the player goes to the right they will go into a Mystery Box where they can hit multiple Coin Blocks for coins. Near the Cannon is a 100 + Clock. The player should then use the Cannon to proceed to the next platform.
The next platform is shaped like a Cheep-Cheep and features to Coin Blocks that can be hit for multiple coins, but Cheep-Cheeps will regularly jump out of the water to hit the player. There are also 2 P-Switches on the platform, the one on the right spawns Rainbow Notes and if all are collected the player will receive a 1-Up Mushroom. The one on the left spawns a Coin Snake which leads the player to the Cannon.
When the player fires from the Cannon they have a chance to receive another 1-Up Mushroom that is in a triangle formation with 2 wooden 1-Ups, the one in the centre is the real one.
The final area contains a P-Switch which spawns a Coin Snake which leads the player up the platform and over to the Flagpole. If the player goes into the castle they receive a 1-Up.
