It's time for the first Fortress! Fortresses are vertical levels, like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. There are Dry Bones here, as well as moving stone blocks that can crush you if they pin you to a wall. The first Star Coin is over the set of six vertically moving stones. We climb up more stones that form stairs and find another set above us, to the right of the pipe. This path will take you to the second Star Coin. We reach the end of the stairs, then go left to drop down to the pipe. The pipe acts as a cannon, firing us straight up. We can use it to reach a door to the third Star Coin. Here are several moving stones with no floor, so be careful when jumping. If we stand on one of the stones at about mid-height on the right, we can go to the right into a new area. Unfortunately, to fully explore the area, we need a Shell Suit. We return using the yellow pipe. We climb higher and find another pipe beneath two stones that move towards each other. We climb in the pipe when the stones are touching so we can be fired from the cannon through the gap when the stones are apart. The cannon will shoot us up to the boss door.
Inside is Bowser Jr. He's the boss of all of the forts. His bandana with the teeth is around his neck, so we can stomp him three times to defeat him. He'll go into a shell cycle after each of the first two hits. Alternatively, we can defeat him with fireballs. After his defeat, he hops out of the fort with Peach and carries her to the castle. At this point, we can now save. Let's keep going!
