Where the terrain starts to slope upwards towards a pipe that spits out goombas, kick the shell to make it bounce between the goomba pipe and the wall to your left. Want an easy way to infinite 1-Ups? Carry a koopa shell to the area just before the very end of the stage. Simply run straight for the Star Coin (you'll skip over the hole in the ground) to grab it. You need to be either Mini Mario or standard Mario to fit through the small passage.

You'll see the final Star Coin under a rock formation. Hit the P Switch and the coins will turn into platforms, letting you reach the second Star Coin to the left.Īs you emerge from the underground passage with the second Star Coin, immediately go left to backtrack just a bit. Instead, punch the blocks at the end of the passage to reveal a P Switch. Enter the pipe and do not collect any of the coins.

The shell will bust through the blocks, slowly revealing the entrance to the green pipe at the bottom. Jump onto the top of the block formation (stay on one of the solid, unbreakable blocks) and kick the shell into the blocks. Just before the halfway checkpoint is an odd stack of blocks with a koopa patrolling nearby. On the far right side of the underground area, wall jump off the right wall to reach the Star Coin. Bounce the question block to the right to become Mini Mario, then go into the tiny pipe. Only Mini Mario can fit through the tiny passage, and there's luckily a Mini Mario power-up nearby. Early in the stage, you can see a miniature pipe below a platform and a very small passage just right of the pipe.
