New Super Mario Bros.: 5-1

World 5 is an ice world, so we have to deal with slippery surfaces and deep snow. Here, we'll find Snow Spikes creating snowballs that they throw. The snowballs take out enemies and increase in size, and have the potential to hurt Mario. There are trees here with snow covered branches. If the branch shakes, the snow will fall, possibly burying Mario if he's in the way. In some parts of the level are patches of deep snow, which it's difficult to jump and dodge enemy attacks. You'll come across some item blocks high up. Bounce off of them to reach the first Star Coin. Soon after, you'll reach the midpoint. You can get the second Star Coin by boucing off a Paratroopa or the floating item block. Soon after, you'll see a Snow Spike on a ledge to the right of a yellow block with a face. Hitting the block will stack more blocks on top of it temporarily. It will block the snowballs. To get past it, you have to kill the Snow Spike. You'll use a similar block to reach the third Star Coin. The flagpole is at the end. The path forks to 5-2 or 5-A.
