It's time to finally take on Bowser. You'll need 170 Green Stars to unlock this level. At this point, we have 240. Bowser's tower looms in the distance, with seven rainbow lights at the top. You start near Bowser's wrecked car. You can stand in it, but you can't do much else. Take the gondola down to the roof of a building. Fireballs will rain down and form pools, making it more difficult to dodge the Fire Bros. Walk up the roof until you see a clear pipe. Go towards the screen and carefully drop down to the first Green Star. There's an invisible triple item block to the right so you can get back up. Take the clear pipe to another rooftop.
There are three Cat Goombas in the area. Grab a Super Bell from the item block nearby, then board the Ferris wheel with the Bullies. Push all of the Bullies off to make the second Green Star appear in the center of the Ferris wheel. Past that is Captain Toad, there to cheer you on. He doesn't have anything for you, so hop into the gondola. The gondola takes you to the base of the tower.
Run towards the tower, and Bowser appears. He has a Super Bell, but it's not for you. He puts it on his neck and turns into Meowser. Instead of challenging you there, he starts climbing the tower. You should do the same. The area starts to automatically scroll. Pick up a Super Bell from the item block and start jumping up the clouds. Be aware of where Meowser is, as he will climb up, drop down, and move around, making clouds temporarily disappear and destroy solid platforms. Along the way, take the clear pipes up higher and keep moving. There's a Green Ring which will give you the third Green Star. Eventually, you'll reach a flat area of the tower. Meowser will land and sit on a POW Block on the back wall. Run to it quickly, as he will breathe walls of fire at you. Hit the POW Block immediately. This will send him flying away. The back wall drops, revealing a clock and a pipe. There's an invisible triple item block if you need another power-up. Go through the pipe and you'll see Meowser climbing up the tower alongside you. He drops out of view and gets a Double Cherry, making two Meowsers run up the walls. The pipe takes you to the midpoint.
Even at the midpoint, the level is still scrolling. Go past the Cat Goombas and launch using the springboard. You'll have to start ascending this part of the tower, either by climbing or solely platforming. There are solid platforms and clouds here. Some clouds are invisible. Do not stand in front of cracked parts of the wall, as a Meowser will appear shortly and attack. Towards the top are trapezes that will get you to another flat area of the tower. Run up the stairs as quickly as you can, but be careful, as Meoswers will appear from the walls and the camera is still scrolling automatically, even when you go around a corner. At the very top, we see the source of the lights: Meowser has the jar with the Sprixie Princesses. He's standing atop a giant POW Block. Hit it four times, dodging the flames of the other Meowsers surrounding the tower. Meowser will fly off, releasing the Sprixie Princesses to a fanfare. A Bowser-shaped firework appears in the sky. The Sprixie Princesses are freed. A pipe appears.
The pipe takes you to a peaceful area in the sky. Over the bell tree is the stamp. The Sprixie Princesses are by the flag, saying "Hey!". Once you hit the flagpole, they'll dance in the order that you rescued them. Roll credits!
Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad will be in cat suits and go through a clear pipe, going past all of the characters they met, including Plessie, Boom Boom, and Pom Pom. The Observatory appears in the background. At the end of the credits, the pipe takes them to the Mushroom Kingdom. Fireworks appear over the castle. We get some messages. The best times for completing courses will be displayed and fast Ghost Mii Characters will come and visit courses. Total lives lost will be displayed on the file, along with a star.
The stamp is of Meowser. In World 1, the Sprixie Princesses are gathered around a rock.
