Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 3-16. Poison Canal Cannon Run

Toadette finds herself in a swamp filled with purple water and Fuzzies. Use the clear pipe cannon to launch to a touchstone in the purple water. Grab the Double Cherry and touch the touchstone to move it. The directions it will move are indicated by the arrows on it. Launch from the clear pipe cannon and you'll encounter Fuzzies. Move the touchstone you just landed on while avoiding the Fuzzies and launch from the nearby pipe cannon. You'll land on solid ground, where you'll find two P-Switches. Step on them for the first gem. Move the touchstone you were just on back into place, then launch from the cannon near the P-Switches to another area with a cannon. This will launch you back to the touchstone. Launch from the cannon by the touchstone to another touchstone. Before using the cannon, move the touchstone for another Double Cherry. When you're ready to launch, be sure to move the touchstone ahead so you can land on it. Line the Toadettes up so they can go through the awnings when you move the touchstone. This is so you can get another Double Cherry and the second gem. Launch from the cannon to a touchstone. There's a line of Fuzzies moving around, so time your moving of the touchstone. This will take you to solid ground. There's an elevator for 3 that will take you to the third gem. Step on the touchstone by the cannon and prepare to launch. Once inside the cannon, move the touchstone so you'll have somewhere to land. You'll land in a ring of Fuzzies. Run past the Fuzzies with good timing to reach the Star.

Special Challenge: Clear the course with four Toadettes.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 3-10. Multi-Vator Mayhem

Captain Toad finds himself in an area with many Double Cherries. The first thing you'll want to do is walk around defeating the Flaptors with turnips without collecting the Double Cherries. Drop down the elevator for four. There's a pickax in the plants you can use to break the bricks for the first gem. Grab the Double Cherry near the elevator for two, then activate the elevator. It will lower to an area with coins and another Double Cherry. Be careful, as there is purple water under the elevator. Take the other set of stairs down. You'll find an elevator for three which will lift you to a Double Cherry and the connecting point to the elevator for four. Activate it and it will lift you to the second gem, which is near the Star. Drop down to the grassy plateau for another Double Cherry. The lone plant here has the third gem. Drop down to the elevator for four and let it take all five Captain Toads up to the Star.

Special Challenge: Clear the course with five Toads.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-15. Double Cherry Spires

Toadette finds herself at a palace. There are four short towers near the corners, each with a different color lamp. The tower with the yellow lamp, in the northeast corner, has a Gold Mushroom. Go upstairs in the center tower to get the Double Cherry. Walk forward and split up the clones to land on two P-Switches. This raises the towers and fences between the Toadettes. Send the Toadette on the right to the yellow lamp's tower. Climb up the ladder, then drop down to the P-Switch. This will make the tower on the opposite side, the green lamp's tower, rise and fall. Send the left Toadette into this tower and have her step on the P-Switch on that side. This will raise the tower in front of it, the blue lamp's tower. Under it is a plant with the first gem. Use the green lamp tower to reach the floating carpet to the blue lamp tower. Pick a turnip from the blue lamp tower and carry it to the center tower. Toss it at the second gem. There are unlimited turnips in the blue lamp tower, so it's okay if you miss. Step on the P-Switch in the center tower to raise the pink lamp tower so it connects on the third level of the center tower. Send the Toadette on the right under that tower for a key. Toss it over the fence and unlock the door for the third gem. Climb the ladder on the pink lamp tower and cross to the center tower. Step on the P-Switch, which makes the barrier on the second level of the center tower disappear. Have both Toadettes stand on the two-person elevator, which will take them to the Star.

Special Challenge: Collect the Gold Mushroom.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- 5. Double Cherry Palace

Captain Toad starts off at near some palace gardens. There's a Double Cherry to the left. With it, Captain Toad gains a clone. Move them towards the P-Switches to split them up. This makes a wall to the gardens drop so they can go explore. Use the hedges to split them up. There's a creature wandering around underground with a plant-like structure on its head. Corner it or stun it with a turnip, then pull on the plant to pull it out of the ground. It will give you the first gem. Be sure to pull all of the plants. Keep the clone separated from Captain Toad and carefully navigate the hedge maze so they can hit the P-Switches on either side. This will make walls appear that divide the hedge maze in half and drop down the walls in the back. Move towards the back and drop down. They'll enter a 2D area with P-Switches and Shy Guys. Alternate hitting switches, which will allow them to drop down and stomp the Shy Guys. The coins will trigger the appearance of more coins. On the left side is a doorway that doesn't exist on the right. Go through it to find the second gem. A little lower, you'll find two doorways. Go through both and you'll find another plant creature. Pull the plant for third gem. Walk back through the doorway so that one of the Captain Toads steps on the P-Switch. This will allow them to reach the bottom of the palace. Have them step on the P-Switches at the bottom, which will remove the wall between them so they can join up. Grab the coins on the way out to an elevator that requires two people to activate. This will take you to the Star. You'll get 10 coins for getting the Star with the clone.

Special Challenge: Collect 70 coins.
You must collect every single coin, from the coins you get from the clone, plus coin plants, plus turnips.

Super Mario 3D World: Flower-12 -- Boss Blitz

It's time to take on the bosses in the Sprixie Kingdom. You'll start out in an area with 6 warp boxes, one of which is locked. You'll have to go through each warp box, defeat the boss, and you'll return here, with a Key Coin in place of the warp box you just went through. From left to right, the bosses are King Ka-Thunk, Pom Pom, two Hisstocrats at the same time, Boss Brolder, and Boom Boom. You'll want to deal with King Ka-Thunk, Pom Pom, and Boom Boom first, in whatever order you desire. Theses are quick boss fights and you won't need power-ups. Time management is key here. Once the battle is over, quickly warp out of there and ignore the coins. After those three, tackle Boss Brolder. This fight may take a little longer. After you beat Boss Brolder, the first Green Star will appear.

At the end, you'll fight two Hisstocrats at once. You'll want to get a Cat Suit and have one in reserve. If you're playing alone, pick either Peach or Luigi. When you stomp on one of the Hisstocrats, their extended jumps may allow you to hit the other one without touching the ground. This will be one of the longer fights, so try to take them out quickly and efficiently. The second Green Star will appear after you win. You'll want at least 100 seconds left after you beat them.

Once you unlock the warp box, it takes you to the last boss fight, Motley Bossblob. If you're still powered up and have at least 100 seconds left at the start of this fight, you should be okay. Grab the Double Cherries after he pounds the ground and chase after him. Once you defeat him, the third Green Star and a pipe appear, leading to a clock and the flagpole.

There are no stamps in World Flower.

Super Mario 3D World: Flower-10 -- Honeycomb Skyway

This level is very similar to Honeycomb Starway, except it's daytime. It's an automatically scrolling level. Grab a Boomerang Flower and throw it at the Biddybuds. Up ahead, the path curves around to the left. Towards the right, you'll find the first Green Star floating around in open space. Use a boomerang to get it. There's a Fire Piranha in the area as well. Up ahead are fire bars and giant Piranha Plants. The second Green Star is over a clear pipe. The entrance is farther ahead, to the right and you'll return back after collecting the Green Star. Grab the Double Cherry and use the Boomerang Flower to kill more Biddybuds. You don't need to kill all of them. The honeycomb tiles will start appearing. The third Green Star is over a lava honeycomb tile. Use a boomerang to get it. Towards the end, there will be a clear pipe. Go through it and stop steering. It will loop you around until the tiles at the other end appear. There are three giant Piranha Plants at the end. Kill them for the warp box to the flagpole. The tiles will appear from the back as in Honeycomb Starway, but they will appear much faster than before. You'll have to move quickly to get in a good position to reach the top of the flagpole, or use a Cat Suit.

There are no stamps in World Flower.

Super Mario 3D World: Star-6 -- Honeycomb Starway

If Star-2 didn't remind you enough of Super Mario Galaxy, Star-6 will. The music is a remix of Gusty Garden Galaxy and you're walking on honeycomb tiles so it looks like you're climbing them. It's an automatically scrolling level with a top-down perspective, so it's difficult to tell when you're jumping. Grab a Boomerang Flower from the item block and clear out the Biddybuds in your way. Up ahead is the first Green Star in a gap. Hit the red ! Block with your boomerang to make a pathway appear so you can get it. Alternatively, throw a boomerang at the Green Star. Up ahead are spinning spike bars and tiles with lava or ice. Avoid the lava tiles and grab the Double Cherry.

Past that is an open area with many Biddybuds. Grab the Boomerang Flower from the item block and use it to kill all of the Biddybuds quickly and efficiently. Jump when the boomerang returns to continue the combo. Kill all the Biddybuds in the area for the second Green Star. Wait a little while and more tiles will appear. Wait for tiles to appear so your path is less treacherous and so you don't have to jump over lava tiles. Dodge the fireballs of the Fire Piranhas and kill them or let them hit each other. Farther ahead, many lava and ice tiles will assemble. To the left, over the lava, is the third Green Star near some Fire Piranhas and bees. It may appear yellow over the lava. The path will become narrower up ahead. There will be many bees over the path. On the right side is the stamp. Use a boomerang to get it. At the end is a warp box near an 8-bit Luigi tile. The warp box will take you to the flagpole. Tiles will come in from the back. You'll want to quickly get on top of the tiles so you can reach the top of the flagpole more easily.

The stamp is of an Octoomba.

Super Mario 3D World: Star-3 -- Rolling Ride Run

You'll want to be Rosalina for this level. There are large cylinders in this level that roll along across large gaps. You have to propel them by standing on the edge of the direction you want to go. It's log rolling. Cross the first gap, go past the Goomba, and you'll see another cylinder. On the back wall are some brick blocks. In the second set of brick blocks, you'll find a Boomerang Flower. Roll the front cylinder to the right and you'll pass an alcove with a Mystery Box. Run around the inside of the cylinder to rotate it so you can reach the first Green Star. Transfer cylinders and roll pass the Conkdors. Kill them with the boomerang to make your life easier. The warp box is to the right.

The warp box takes you to the midpoint. Up ahead are Conkdors on cylinders. Spinning the cylinder will not make them fall off. On the wide cylinder to the right, move towards the screen to find a narrower cylinder with the second Green Star. Farther ahead is a large cylinder. Use the boomerang to clear out the pink wall enemies so you can walk around the obstacles. Roll the cylinder to the right so you can walk around the corner, then walk towards the screen. There's an invisible block with a Double Cherry. Roll the cylinder to the right a little more, then walk towards the screen to solid ground. You'll find some clocks as well as a button with a Grand Star symbol. Have Rosalina stand on it for the stamp. Follow the maze while rolling the log until you reach a two-person platform. This will take you to the third Green Star and a clock. Alternatively, you can reach it with a Super Bell if you have one. To the right is a roller to the flag.

The stamp is of small Rosalina spinning.

Super Mario 3D World: Bowser- Castle -- The Great Tower of Bowser Land

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.

Super Mario 3D World: Bowser-A -- Motley Bossblob's Encore

Grab the Double Cherry to the right, then step into the gondola. Motley Bossblob appears, sporting different colors. When he lands, he creates shockwaves. Grab the Double Cherry after he splits up after ground pounding, the stomp him. Stomp him three times to win. Collect the coins and grab the Green Star. The pipe leads to the flag. You'll need to complete Bowser-B to continue.

Super Mario 3D World: 6-C -- Motley Bossblob's Big Battle

The clear pipe the azure Sprixie Princess made does not lead to the next world. It leads to a cloud where a Bowser tent drops in. The other pipe is plugged up. Before you get into the gondola, grab the Double Cherry from the item block. The gondola takes you to the arena, where a jester appears. He uses magic to surround himself with some gray blobs, which turn him into a giant jester. This is Motley Bossblob. He'll jump around, trying to land on you. Run away around the arena until he jumps and flips for a ground pound. The blobs will come off him, revealing a Double Cherry, and he'll run around. Grab the Double Cherry and try to stomp him before he summons the blobs. After you stomp him, he'll reform Motley Bossblob and jump around even more before ground-pounding. Hit him three times and he'll explode. The Green Star will appear, as well as many coins. The pipe leads to the flagpole. The clear pipe leads to World Castle.

Super Mario 3D World: 5-6 -- Cakewalk Flip

The flipswitches are back, so think before you jump. The level takes place on giant cakes. There are Piranha Plants on some of the flipswitches. Cross the gap between cakes and you'll find the first Green Star on the blue flipswitches. Ahead, you'll find a laser firing square laser rings. The box above it contains a Double Cherry. You can go past it using the clear pipe to the right. Climb up the flipswitches with Piranha Plants to the midpoint.

There is another laser and another Double Cherry in a block. You'll also find a Piranha Plant in a pipe. Kill the Piranha Plant and go through the pipe. It leads to an area with a P-Switch and some flipswitches. Stand on the P-Switch to make a green ball appear. It will roll down the path of flipswitches. Time your jumping (in place) so that the ball lands on the P-Switch below. This makes the second Green Star appear. Return to the main level. You'll find a two-person platform. This leads to the stamp and will bring you back. Ahead are some flipswitches, a laser, and a green ring. Have another character stand on the laser to keep it from firing, then trigger the green ring. Carefully collect the Green Coins. The character standing on the laser will help you collect a couple. This will make the third Green Star appear. The flagpole is ahead.

The stamp is of Peach holding a ring of flowers.

Super Mario 3D World: 5-3 -- Backstreet Bustle

You'll need 80 Green Stars to unlock this level. You'll have to use Toad to collect one of the items here. You have 100 seconds to complete this level. The level takes place underground. Go back and to the left and ground pound the patch of dirt, where the tiles are broken. This makes the first Green Star appear. Go forward and get the Double Cherry from the item block. Use the two-person platform to cross the gap. Falling into the gap is instant death. On the right side, beat the Goombas and stand on the button with the Toad symbol for the stamp. Grab another Double Cherry and go left. Beat the Fire Piranha, grab another Double Cherry and take the four-person platform to the second Green Star. Drop down to the right for the third Green Star. Go back and right, past the blue lava bubbles to the flagpole.

The stamp is of Small Toad running after a Mushroom.

Super Mario 3D World: 4-3 -- Beep Block Skyway

It's time to step to the beep again! The block platforms that appear switch after three ticks. Grab a Double Cherry and carefully cross the platforms. There are several Boomerang Bros in the area. Keep grabbing Double Cherries as you go. Go left and go to the blue platforms to reach the first Green Star. There's a safe block for you to use nearby. Nearby is a warp box.

The warp box takes you near the midpoint. On the back wall, you'll find 8-bit Luigi swimming. Go up the disappearing stairs and you'll find the midpoint. If you have 4 characters, you can stand on the platform to reach the stamp. Alternatively, you can climb up the wall if you're a cat. Go down the stairs for the warp box.

The warp box takes you near an area with a couple of Boomerang Bros. Go through the pipe and hit the P-Switch. Collect all the Silver Coins with your clones for the second Green Star. Ahead is a long slide made up of the switching platforms. Stay towards the center so you can cross easily. Try to keep as many clones as possible. At the bottom of the slide is a split P-Switch for the third Star Coin. Ahead is the flagpole, behind some Boomerang Bros and switching platforms.

The stamp is of the Double Cherry.

Super 3D World: 2-5 -- Double Cherry Pass

Let the uncontrolled chaos begin! The Double Cherry is a powerup that creates a clone of the character who uses it. The powerup stacks, so you can have several clones of a character, which will powerup when the original does. They also follow the movements of the original, but with some maneuvering, you can split them up and rejoin them. Beat the Galoombas and walk up the path. To the right is an item block with a Fire Flower. This or a Super Bell can be very helpful here. Destroy the crates near the clear pipe for another Double Cherry and the first Green Star, which is in the far right corner. Go through the clear pipe, then through the green pipe.

This drops you into an area with soldiers marching in formation. You can break their formation by defeating one of their soldiers. They'll initially panic and scatter, then combine to attack from all sides. Defeat them quickly. Make sure you have at least two characters (clones or otherwise), so you can hit the two P-Switches ahead. This will make the second Green Star appear. Take the pipe on the far right to the midpoint.

Here, you'll find more soldiers marching around on different levels, one carrying a Double Cherry. You can split up characters and easily defeat them from a distance with the Fire Flower. Grab the Double Cherry, as well as the Double Cherries from the item blocks to the left and right. Have one character or clone stand on the corner item block in the left set of item blocks. Have another character stand below and hit the item block. This will make more blocks appear, and push the character near the stamp. Ahead is a Red Coin Ring and a Fire Bro. The Fire Bro is surrounded by many clear pipes you and your fireballs can use. Once you defeat it, a green pipe will appear.

The pipe takes you to the flag. There's an invisible block with one last Double Cherry. If you have four characters or clones, have them stand on the platform marked with a 4. This will raise everyone on the platform to the third Green Star. Head for the flagpole. You get extra points for every surviving clone.

The stamp is of Fire Peach.
