New Super Mario Bros. U: Layer-Cake Desert- Ice -- Piranha Plants on Ice

This part of the Layer-Cake Desert gets snow. There are several blocks of ice in this level, most of them held up by smaller chunks of ice. Fire Piranhas can melt the smaller chunks of ice and make the blocks of ice fall to the ground, possibly crushing you in the process or blocking off access to some areas. First, you'll have to cross a bridge partially formed by several blocks of ice. The Fire Piranhas below will start melting the ice so the large blocks will start falling. Past the bridge is a large area of snow. There are Fire Piranhas overhead, as well as blocks of ice, so move quickly if one is about to fall. Go down the first green pipe before a block of ice blocks it off. This will take you to the first Star Coin. The next pipe, which is overhead, will take you to the second Star Coin. It's between several Fire Piranhas and some blocks of ice. Let the ice melt, then wall jump up to get it. Return to the main level. There's a Green Ring nearby, but be warned that some of the coins can be blocked by ice. As you keep going, there will be a point where the ice blocks will be within reach and can allow you to reach new heights. Move quickly and jump with precision to reach the higher levels off ice. If you let the ice fall too far, you won't be able to reach the end of the line of ice blocks, where the third Star Coin is. You may also try to reach it by using a Fire Flower to kill the Fire Piranhas in case you can't reach it by jumping. At the end, you'll have to run and dodge fireballs from the Fire Piranhas as well as falling ice to reach the flag. This opens up the path to Soda Jungle.
