Super Mario 3D Land: 5-Castle

Time for another castle! We need 50 Star Coins to unlock it. We hop up the stairs to find moving platforms that go into the lava at the end of their line. We follow them past rolling spikes. There is a wooden platform with a Dry Bones that lifts up from a lava pillar. It only blocks the way when it's raised. We hit the blocks to the left of the Thwomps and hit the invisible blocks above them so we can hop onto the Thwomps for the first Star Coin. The second Star Coin is nearby, over floating grate platforms. The Red Coins give us a Fire Flower. The binoculars show us where the flagpole is and that two Toads are being held in the tower beneath it. We reach the midpoint and take the floating platforms pass the Thwomps, dodging them. At the end of the line is the third Star Coin. We have to jump to grab it and land safely on the stone platform nearby. We pass the Hammer Bro and Bowser with a tail appears. We die when Bowser lands on us too many times.
Take 2- We got the third Star Coin and made it past Bowser to the switch, which destroys the bridge. He falls in the lava and hops out twice, revealing that he was really a Magikoopa with a Tanooki Leaf all along. The gate to the tower opens. The Toads jump for joy and we warp with an orange Mystery Box. We get a clock and a 1-up at the flagpole.

Mario wanders into the night, finding another envelope with a picture. This one shows Peach hitting some stacked Goombas with her umbrella, with the 1-up chime being heard. She says, "Ah!" Shaking makes her hit the Goombas repeatedly while a couple fly away. Way to fight back, Peach! Mario spins and happily walks, then runs to the next World.
