New Super Mario Bros. 2: 5-Castle

This level can be a little tricky. There are grates on paths over the lava. You can punch them to move them above or below the path, depending on what's coming up. Be sure to check your button settings so that you're comfortable with them. You may ending up punching when you mean to jump, and vice versa. Go over the lava and spikes to reach a set of three item blocks below skulled Piranhas. Jump between the right two blocks to make invisible blocks appear. Jump on them and jump up to make more invisible blocks appear. This will allow you to reach a red pipe overhead. The first Star Coin is on a grate. Hop on the orange grate once back on the main level. It will take you to the midpoint, as long as you execute punches and jumps correctly. The invisible block over the left item block has a 1-up. Next is a grate with two Koopas crawling on it. Below is the second Star Coin. Drop down when the grate behind it appears. Take the next orange grate. It will take you to some Red Coins. The next orange grate is very tall, so it will end up in the lava at some points. Ride it down the path and make above the path. Jump up the orange grate above and get it started, then drop down to get the third Star Coin when the lower grate is behind it, then quickly jump up. Once back on the higher grate, punch it above the path and get off near the boss door. There is a pipe cannon that will get you past the skulled Piranhas with ease. There are five more pipe cannons in the room with Ludwig von Koopa. He will fly up to the chains above and fire three blue fireballs at you. Use the pipe cannon below him to knock him off so you can stomp him. He'll go into his shell cycle. Try to stomp him before he can fly up again. If he gets on the chain after the second hit, he'll swing around. Once defeated, get the key and find Peach in a cage in a clown copter car. She calls to him and flies off to World 6, directly to Bowser's Castle.
