Super Mario 3D World: Mushroom-2 -- Spiky Mount Beanpole

At the start of the level, you'll see a locked warp box, meaning you'll have to collect five Key Coins. The first one is nearby, behind the left tree at the start. Cross the bridge to the base of the mountain and start climbing. There are lots of Spikes and Spinies here. The item blocks will have a new power-up: the Lucky Bell. It gives you a Cat Suit, with all of its abilities, plus the ability to turn into a golden statue when ground pounding. This will protect you from enemy damage, and if you ground pound from a height, you'll get coins. There's a Key Coin behind the tree at the base of the mountain. Higher up, behind that same tree is the first Green Star. On the left side of the mountain are brick blocks in the wall. Break them to reveal a pipe. The P-Switch in the pipe will give you the second Green Star if you collect all of the Silver Coins. Towards the center are item blocks high on the wall. Hit them to make a path appear to another Key Coin. At the top of the mountain are three trees. Climb the second tallest tree, then jump to the center to find the third Green Star on a cloud. The tallest tree has a Key Coin at the top. When you have all of the Key Coins, drop down the mountain and return to the warp box. It will take you to the flagpole, where there are Spinies.

There are no stamps in World Mushroom.

Super Mario 3D World: Star-7 -- Gargantuan Grotto

Many of the enemies are larger here in this jungle. There are stacks of Goombas, one of which has a 1-up. Nearby are giant Galoombas. The item block on the back wall has a Mega Mushroom. Move quickly to the right. You'll see some gray bricks on the back wall and in the ground. Destroy the gray bricks on the back wall to get the stamp. Destroy the bricks on the ground to drop down. If your Mega Mushroom runs out, there are holes so you can drop down. At the bottom is an invisible block with a Tanooki Suit. To the right are Microgoombas and pink wall enemies. Clear them out and wall jump up behind them for the first Green Star. Farther to the right is the midpoint.

Drop into the water, where there are Bloopers and spike blocks above a vortex. Swim near the back wall near the bottom to avoid the spikes. Swim up and out of the water over the gray bricks. Grab the Mega Mushroom in the item block and go quickly to the right. Pound the bouncy pads to jump through gray bricks ahead. At the top is the second Green Star. As long as you break at least one gray brick, you can swim up to get it later. To the right is a pipe. Swim above it to find another pipe. You'll find a P-Switch and a Mega Mushroom. There are three rounds of coins to collect for the third Green Star. Go back through the pipe, then go through the pipe below to the flagpole. There is a Goomba stack near the flag.

The stamp is of a Mega Mushroom.

Super Mario 3D World: 5-2 -- Tricky Trapeze Theater

It's time to go back to the circus! Take the gondola down to the level where you'll find tilting platforms, Fizzlits, and trapezes. The trapezes can hold four people at a time. They trapezes are already swinging, but you can push left and right to make them swing even more. Keep going to the right past the three Fizzlits and you'll find invisible clouds over one of the trapezes. The first Green Star is up there. Take the gondola to the right down to the midpoint.

Ahead is a large, spinning platform with many Piranha Plants and giant Piranha Plants. Go to the right for a pipe. It leads to a P-Switch. Collect the Silver Coins for the second Green Star. Return and go to the center of the spinning platform. The triple item block has a Mega Mushroom. Kill all of the Piranha Plants for lots of coins. Go to the back and bounce on the orange bouncy platform to reach the large stairs. The stamp is to the left. If you can climb the wall, you'll find Captain Toad with a random item block. Otherwise, go through the clear pipe. You'll land on tilting platforms with spike bars. Swing on the trapeze and hit the Green Ring to make Green Coins appear. It doesn't matter which spot you swing from on the trapeze, but you must swing quickly and jump when the opportunity presents itself to collect all eight. This will get you the third Green Star. Take the gondola down to the trapeze to the flag. Time your jump carefully as there is nothing under the trapeze. It can be a little difficult to reach the top of the flagpole from here, so take your time swinging.

The stamp is of Luigi.

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 Mario 3D World: 1-3 -- Mount Beanpole

There's a mountain climb ahead of you, but first, climb up the tree to the left. You'll find a lookout Sprixie and the first Green Star. Drop back down and start climbing the mountain. You can get the Super Bell here. There are many POW Blocks on the lower portion of the mountain. Hit them with good timing (some of them move) to set off chain reactions that allow you to beat more enemies and access new areas. One of the POW Blocks is set into the wall. Hit the POW Block near it to reveal a pipe hidden behind it. The pipe leads to a P-Switch that makes three sets of Silver Coins. Collect them all for the second Green Star.

Return to the mountain and you'll find the stamp in a nearby area where you can wall jump. From this point forward, many of the platforms are clouds. Some clouds are invisible, so either touch the touch screen or blow into the microphone to make them slightly more visible. There's an invisible cloud near a tree on the left. Climb up the tree to reach a cat gear. Spin the gear with your claws, then climb up the tower to reach a cloud cannon. This will blast you to a special stage.

Grab the Starman from the item block and start running. Run in a straight line to collect the coins, beat the enemies for a 1-up, and stay on the boost pads. At the end is the third Green Star. Drop back down to the mountain and you'll see a giant Piranha Plant at the end. Hit it twice to defeat it and reveal a warp block. This will warp you near the flagpole.

The stamp is of Cat Goomba.

New Super Luigi U: Superstar Road-2 -- P Switch Peril

There are several P-Switches in this level. Hitting the first one will send stones dropping down on you from the ceiling. It will also turn the brick block walls in front of you into coins so you can run ahead. You have to either keep moving or get out of the way quickly. Don't worry if you miss hitting a P-Switch as the stones will do that for you. The first Star Coin is next to a brick wall near the start. Get a running jump, wall jump, or triple jump to reach it. You'll have to duck under a brick wall or just be small for the entire level. There are Silver Coins and Spinies part-way through the level. The second Star Coin is here, but you'll have to time your jump well to avoid landing on the Spinies. Drop down, bounce off the spring, and keep running. Dodge the Waddlewings and you'll see the third Star Coin overhead. Leave it alone for now. Jump across the gap ahead and wait for the stones to fall. Once they do, jump over them to get the Star Coin without fear of getting hurt. On the other side of the gap is the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Meringue Clouds-3 -- Rainbow Skywalk

The floor in this level is rainbow-colored. Take the arrow platform up and dodge the Bullet Bills. The first Star Coin will be on the left side while you're going up. At the top, a Waddlewing will appear with an Acorn. Grab the Acorn, and get the Green Coins if you like. Take the arrow platform to the right, across the gap. Under the right ledge is a hidden pipe. This leads to an area with a narrow gap in the ceiling. Use the POW Block to drop the second Star Coin into the gap onto an arrow platform, making it rise. Quickly wall jump up to get it before it disappears at the top of the screen. Go through the pipe to return to the main level. There's a Silver Ring here above the arrow platform. Stand on it to make it rise, then activate the Silver Ring, waiting as long as you can. Silver Coins will appear and Waddlewings will fly in. Let at least one live so it can stand on the platform for you. You have to reach the top quickly as the Silver Ring also turns brick blocks into coins. This is the only way to reach the third Star Coin at the top, in an alcove. Take an arrow platform to the right and dodge Bullet Bills to reach the flag.

New Super Luigi U: Rock-Candy Mines-6 -- Spine Coaster Stowaways

The bone coaster is back and it's traveling over purple water. A giant Piranha Plant will drop down onto the bone coaster and go along for the ride unless you kill it.  The first Star Coin is above the bone coaster's path. The bone coaster will dive into the purple water, so be alert. There is a P-Switch that will make Silver Coins for you to collect. The second Star Coin is over some coins near the ceiling. After the second Star Coin, another giant Piranha Plant will drop onto the coaster, pinning you in a tight space. The bone coaster will dip into the purple water again, and you'll find the third Star Coin here. At the end, transfer to the yellow platform before the bone coaster falls into the purple water, then go to the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Rock-Candy Mines-4 -- Light-Up Lift Tower

This is a dark level filled with giant Light Blocks you can use as platforms. There are Fire Snakes here, so be careful. Step on the Light Blocks to get them to start moving. Once they start moving, the level automatically scrolls up. The first Star Coin is on the right side, blocked by Light Blocks that move away eventually. Get the Star Coin and quickly return to the moving Light Blocks. The second Star Coin is on the right wall. Higher up, you'll find Fire Piranhas. About halfway up is a P-Switch that makes Silver Coins appear. The third Star Coin is at the top of the level, in the left corner, guarded by giant Fire Piranhas. Use a Fire Flower to kill them, then wall jump to reach the Star Coin. The pipe nearby takes you to the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle- Parabeetle -- Para-Beetle Parade

This level is an automatic side-scroller. There's a 1-up in the large item block at the start, with an Acorn and a P-Switch below it. The P-Switch makes Silver Coins appear over the Parabeetles in the air. Platform from Parabeetle to Parabeetle to stay alive. Keep hitting the P-Switches to keep the Silver Coins on screen. Some of the P-Switches are on the Parabeetles. They will show you how to jump. Collect them to get more lives. Be sure to dodge the Piranha Plants riding on the Parabeetles. The first Star Coin is on the left side, over a giant Piranha Plant. Hit the blocks under it to kill it. To the right, giant Banzai Bills will appear. There is a Red Coin Ring nearby. Follow the trail of Red Coins by gliding and they'll lead you to the second Star Coin. You'll need to boost to get it. Drop down before the giant Banzai Bill appears, and keep moving so the small Parabeetles do not rise into the giant Banzai Bill. You'll find an 8-bit Luigi here. Keep going and you'll see a trail of Silver Coins that lead down to the third Star Coin. Stand on a large Parabeetle to reach it. Stand on higher Parabeetles, then glide over the giant Banzai Bill to the flagpole. This opens the path into Meringue Clouds.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle- Fort -- Stone-Snake Tower

There is purple water in this fort, and it rises, so you'll have to keep moving. Go past the Grrrols and you'll see a snake block. It will snake throughout the fort. Wall jump to reach the first Star Coin. Grab the Red Coins if you like. On the left wall is a P-Switch which turns coins into blocks, leading you to the second Star Coin between two spiked ball and chains. Silver Coins also appear. Near the top, a second snake block will appear and the snake blocks will take you to the boss door. Near the left wall, the passage will narrow and you'll have to jump from snake block to snake block, following the coin arches. Jump at the first coin arch to reach the third Star Coin, 8-bit Luigi, and a 1-up. Go through the boss door and Kamek will make Boom Boom a giant. Stomp three times to win.

New Super Luigi U: Soda Jungle-3 -- Heart of Bramball Woods

This level is a little darker, but you can still see. There are Bramballs all over the place. There's a Red Coin Ring before you reach the first Bramballs. There's a P-Switch that makes Silver Coins appear and gives you access to the first Star Coin. You'll have to bounce off of Bramballs to reach it. The second Star Coin is nearby over brick blocks and a Bramball. The third Star Coin is under some blocks where some Bramballs are. You'll have to run under and dodge the Bramballs to get it. In front of the flag are a series of Bramballs. Bounce on them to reach the flag.

New Super Luigi U: Frosted Glacier-5 -- Ice-Slide Express

Outside the level are a couple of blocks. Hit them to get the Penguin Suit, then take the pipe underground. This level lets you belly-slide through most of the level. The rolling hills will let you gain a little momentum. When the path splits, jump for the first Star Coin. Nearby is a Silver Ring which makes Silver Coins appear. The Silver Coin trail leads to a Red Coin Ring and the second Star Coin surrounded by brick blocks. Slide into the brick blocks to break them and get the Star Coin. Towards the end of the level, you'll slide up a large slope, then drop down the water. There are blocks of ice floating in the water under pipes with Piranha Plants. Get a running start, slide, then jump when the path splits to hit some brick blocks and break them. This will allow you to reach the third Star Coin, which is hidden in the alcove above before you reach the pipe. There's an 8-bit Luigi in the alcove. The pipe takes you to the flagpole.

New Super Luigi U: Sparkling Waters-4 -- The Great Geysers

The water spouts become geysers here, meaning they are much larger. You can get the Penguin Suit here. You'll start on solid ground, then you'll have to deal with the geysers. Cheep-Cheep will fly out of the water and drop back down, so be aware of where they are. The first Star Coin is in the second geyser, under some blocks. Wait for the geyser to drop down, then swim quickly to get it. The P-Switch makes Silver Coins appear. Keep going past the Water Piranha Plants and jump up the trees. The second Star Coin is over a tree. The third Star Coin is with a Water Piranha Plant. You can drop down on it if you're powered up, or use a shell to kill the Water Piranha Plant and grab it. The flagpole is nearby.

New Super Luigi U: Sparkling Waters-2 -- Urchin Reef Romp

The main part of the level is underwater, but before you take the pipe underwater, run past the pipe, wall jump up, then run to the left for the first Star Coin. Go through the pipe to go underwater. You'll find giant and small Urchins, as well as Cheep-Cheeps. There are lots of currents in this level. The second Star Coin is in a current, under a giant Urchin. The third Star Coin is guarded by Urchins, so use a Fire Flower to kill them, then get it. Hit the P-Switch for Silver Coins through the series of giant Urchins to the pipe that leads to the flag.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Peach's Castle- Castle -- Red-Hot Elevator Ride

Peach is on the top floor of the castle and we have to take the elevator to reach her. Lava fills the castle, and it's rising. Immediately go through the pipe and hop on the elevator, a tilting platform on a chain, with a number. If the number drops to zero, the elevator stops, but the lava does not. Enemies and coins can stop the elevator if they land on it, so you'll have to steer and keep the elevator clear. There are Bowser heads in the walls that produce electricity along a path. You'll have to steer around them, because the electricity's path will define which path is safe for you to take. The first Star Coin is on the right, over some electrical Bowser heads. Above is a wall of brick blocks in your path. Use the P-Switch to break through, and grab some coins. After a while, Bob-ombs with parachutes will drop in. Try to steer clear of them and kick off the ones that manage to land on the elevator. The second Star Coin is also on the right. Use the P-Switch to turn the brick blocks blocking it into coins and make some Silver Coins. Ahead, the electrical Bowser heads will form a path that moves more horizontally, so you'll have to zig and zag to avoid taking damage or getting trapped. There's a Red Coin Ring in here. The third Star Coin is also on the right, over more electrical Bowser heads. The door at the top will take you outside to the flagpole. This opens the path to the Castle 2. We're almost there!

New Super Mario Bros. U: Peach's Castle-3 -- Rising Tides of Lava

Lava fills yet another level. The lava rises and falls, which affects the giant Buzzy Beetles. They hide in their shells when the lava reaches their feet and they will float in the lava, making convenient platforms. There is a subtle difference in the color of the land depending on whether the lava reaches it. There are several mushroom platforms with screws that change their height. The first Star Coin is under a ledge with three giant Buzzy Beetles. When the lava is low, wall jump to get it. The next mushroom with a screw will lower so you can continue. There will be a random item block, and farther along, a set of four brick blocks with a Koopa. The second block of the set has a P-Switch, which makes Silver Coins. The path will split ahead. Take the lower path, waiting for the lava to drop, then quickly running and jumping to reach the second Star Coin, which is under the midpoint. Jump over inclines instead of running up them to make it. Ahead are sets of mushrooms that will alternate in their height when the screw is activated. Between two of the mushrooms are a set of two blocks with a gap in the middle. The gap has an invisible block with a vine to the third Star Coin and a Fire Chomp. Go past the Buzzy Beetles in the pit, past another set of mushrooms, and you'll reach the red pipe at the end. There's a Buzzy Beetle below it so you can reach the pipe when the lava rises. This will take you to the flagpole. This opens the path to the Castle.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Meringue Clouds- Ghost House -- Spinning Spirit House

This Ghost House is yet another maze. First, go through the door at the top before the Boos approach you. This leads to a room with three levels and several doors. This is where the maze begins. You can go through some of the walls, but not others. If you go to the right, you can reach the item block with a power-up. Hidden behind the wall you just passed through is a door. It leads to a room that's a spinning square. It will move to the right, past Boos and doors. The first door you'll come across is fake. The second door will return you to the same room with many doors. This time, you can go through different walls, but you cannot reach the item block any more. You can now access the door on the second level, on the left. It leads to a room with a descending floor and a Broozer. Let the Broozer live, because it can break open crates for coins. Keep it on the right side of the room so it can destroy the stones guarding the first Star Coin. The door at the bottom returns you to the room with many doors. On the second level, behind the middle wall is a spring to the third level. That door take you to a room with poles and fake item blocks that will attack you. Go through the door in the upper right corner. This will take you back to the room with many doors. You can now go to the right door on the third level. This room has a rising, tilting floor with a ring of Boos. The coins on the sides will move to the other side, where you can get them. The second Star Coin starts on the right side, but will move to the left side if you try to get it. Make the Star Coin move to the left side, then go to the left side to get it. The door at the top will return you to the room with many doors. From where you are, go down the stairs (which are hidden) and to the left for another door. This will lead to another spinning room with fake item blocks and Boos. The room will drop past a Big Boo and stop at a door. This will take you to the regular goal. This opens the path to Meringue Clouds-4, -5, and -6.

To get the third Star Coin, follow the path above until you exit the room with the poles. Go to the right, down the stairs, and to the left. On the far left wall, wall jump up to a hidden door. This leads to a room with hidden areas in the floor. Go to the far right first to access the hidden area, then hit the P-Switch on the left wall. A trail of Silver Coins will lead you to the third Star Coin. Use the spring to get it. The door leads to the red goal, which opens the path to the castle.

To reach Meringue Clouds-4, -5, or -6, approach the clouds in the gap between the Ghost House and those levels. Rainbows will appear, as well as an item block and Fuzzies. Memorize the path you want to take (probably to the item block) and step on the cloud at the start of that path. Once you move forward, Mario will run ahead and you can't steer. Meringue Clouds -4 is the level near the back, -5 is near the front, and -6 is in the middle.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Rock-Candy Mines-3 -- Waddlewing's Nest

This level has several Waddlewings (flying squirrels) and Chomps. Pound the brick blocks to the right of the Chomp on the ground for some coins. There's a red pipe to the right of some Piranha Plants. This will take you to a room with four sets of brick blocks in the floor. The second set of brick blocks from the left has the first Star Coin. Pound the brick blocks to reach it. The other sets have other things. Return to the main level and go up and to the left. If you release the Chomp by pounding its post and it goes to the left, you can reach a hidden area with note blocks and brick blocks. The middle brick block has a 1-up. Go up and over to the left for a hidden area with a P-Switch. This creates a trail of Silver Coins over coins that turned into brick blocks. Follow the trail quickly to reach the second Star Coin. Keep going up to the midpoint, then to the pipe. The pipe leads to an area with a platform that slowly lowers. This part has lots of Waddlewings walking and flying around. Wall jump up the right side for the third Star Coin. There's a Red Coin Ring in the area. Stay to the right to easily reach the flag pipe to the flag. There are Chomps at the bottom you'd have to deal with otherwise.  This opens the path to Rock-Candy Mines-5.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle -7 -- Wiggler Stampede

This level has lots of giant Wigglers splashing around in the purple water. They'll help you reach several places and are springy. Time your jumps well for an extra boost. Drop down to the second Wiggler you see for the first Star Coin. You can get the Acorn Mushroom in this level. One of the brick blocks nearby has a vine. The second Star Coin is high above, with other floating coins. There are a few sets of three item blocks. The middle block of each set has a vine so you can reach the Star Coin. Drop down from there to the midpoint. Next is a giant Wiggler running around in the water. There is a P-Switch above it, under the ledge. Hit it to turn the blocks containing the Wiggler into coins so it can move forward. Catch a ride on it and collect some Silver Coins. There's a second P-Switch on the way, which will be surrounded by brick blocks when the first P-Switch runs out. It's not necessary to hit the switch, but it makes things easier, because otherwise, there are several walls of brick blocks. Leave the Wiggler and bounce to the mushrooms. The Wiggler will continue forward, so keep up with it, but it will dive into the water. The third Star Coin is over the purple water. Bounce off the Wiggler to get it and get to safety, as it will dive immediately after that. Keep going to the right, bouncing on the Wiggler when you need to and it will take you to the flag. This opens the path to the castle.
