Lethal Lava Land - Boil the Big Bully

Lethal Lava Land is the seventh course.
N64
As the course name suggests, there is lots of lethal lava. The lava will take three bars of health, so you can fall in the lava only twice without dying at full health. We get a message when we land: "Don't be a pushover! If anyone tries to shove you around, push back! It's one-on-one with a fiery finish for the loser!
The Shifting Sand Land music plays. I was knocked into the lava by a little bully, a black sphere with eyes and two horns about the size of a Bob-omb. I fell into the lava and died.
Take 2- We make it a lot farther this time. We jump across the lava to next platform and walk over the draw bridge. I fell in the lava and glitched through the grate. We go to a tilting platform and over a shifting panel Bowser puzzle with the 8 Red Coins. We'll get those later. After that is a spinning stone platform with two fire bars. We walk across some bobbing planks and another tilting platform to reach the platform with the Big Bully. He'll try to run into us and knock us into the lava. We can punch and kick him into the lava. Jump kicks work well, even if they don't really connect. Once you knock the Big Bully into the lava, the Star appears on the nearby platform and fallaway stairs appear. We run across them quickly and get the Star.

We get a message: "You've recovered 50 Power Stars! now you can open the Star Door on the third floor. Bowser's there, you know. Oh! You've found all of the Cap Switches, haven't you? Red, green, and blue? The Caps you get from the colored blocks are really helpful. Hurry along, now. The third floor is just ahead."
No, I haven't found all of the Cap Switches. Bowser can't been on the third floor yet; we haven't dealt with him in the basement. We'll take care of him later.

When we land, we get the same message as in the N64. I take a hit from a fire bar and make it to the Big Bully with ease. I was pushed to the edge and knocked off, but the Big Bully fell off, too, causing the Star to appear. The fallaway stairs appeared, and I dropped into the lava with them, springing up to the platform with the Star. Falling into the lava will cause the character to jump up, so you can steer them to safety. We got the Star.
Star Get #58, 20 Coins, 4 Lives
The next Star is Bully the Bullies.
