New Super Mario Bros. Wii 9-7 -- Frozen Jungle

This was a very difficult level for me. I had to bring in a 2nd player so I could get the last two Star Coins. This is another ice level, but the jungle music from World 5 is playing. The ground is frozen and filled with Nippers or coins. To make matters worse, Fire Piranhas populate the level and melt the ice blocks. The given powerup is a Fire Flower, so you can melt more ice blocks. Unfortunately, you can't freeze anything that was melted. You also need sufficient momentum to clear most of the pipes early on, but with the ground melting, you don't get much room to work with. We got the 1st Star Coin by wall-jumping off the upside down pipe and landing on the frozen coins below it. We continued and deal with more easily cleared obstacles and Goombas hidden in spiky, flammable shields. Just past them is a long stretch of frozen coins. Underneath them, over a safety net of more frozen coins, is the 2nd Star Coin. You can either wait until a Piranha melts the ice above the Star Coin or you can melt it with fireballs, minding the fact that your fireballs will melt more ice down the line, destroying the path. We got it by waiting for the Piranhas to melt one ice block, dropping onto the coin, and bubbling and letting the other continued. After sliding under the line of Fire Piranhas, we soon encountered two Fire Bros. We took out the first one, and let the other one melt the ice so we could access the 3rd Star Coin below. One of us waited on the platform while the other fell through to get the Star Coin and bubbled. The other went to the goal. This took 45 tries. Finally! I completed this game! Thanks to Ryan, who helped me on this level. Now to start my next game! Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
