New Super Mario Bros. Wii: 6- Toad Rescue -- Saving More than Toad's Life

After beating 6-3, a Bullet Bill Blaster starts firing Bullet Bills at regular intervals. I can't avoid one, and start a Toad Rescue mission. I lose my Fire Flower to a Bullet Bill while trying to negotiate them on a raising and lowering platform. I get all of the bubbles, and because there are so many Bullet Bills on screen at the time, I get 2 1-ups as well as the requisite 3 Super Shrooms.
