This level requires 90 [[Star Medal]]s to unlock. At the beginning, Mario is on a platform surrounded by lava. On the other end is a [[P Switch]], guarded by a pair of Magikoopas. Pressing the button causes a grate platform to rise out of the lava, allowing Mario to advance. On the next platform is a pair of Dry Bones. Following this is another grate platform, with a [[Coin Block|Coin Question Block]] on it; however, there is also a [[Magmaargh]] that appears out of the lava to attack Mario, as well as a [[Lava Bubble|Bubble]] in the lava on the other side. On the next platform, there is a [[Draglet]], with the next platform being across the lava; there are also two Lava Bubbles jumping out of it. Next, there is a pole; the player must use this to jump onto another pole to reach the next platform, but there are two lava geysers on both side of it. The next platform has a [[Fire Bar]] and another Magikoopa. He or she must then jump onto a Switchboard to cross the lava and reach the next area, while avoiding several Magmaarghs. On the next area is the [[Midway Flag]], as well as another P Switch which not only spawns some coins but also causes the section of the platform it is on to rise. The area this leads to contains three [[Boomerang Bro]]s. After the player passes them, he or she reaches an area with platforms that spawn when the player nears them; there are also some Magikoopas that appear. This leads to a [[Warp Box]], which takes the player to the area where he or she must face [[Bowser]]. After crossing several rotating platforms, he or she must then cross a section with a tightrope above lava. The player must then cross several rock [[Donut Lift]]s to reach the bridge that the switch necessary to defeat Bowser is across. By pressing the switch, Bowser falls into the lava, where he is defeated. However, inside the room following, there is only an empty cage.
