Super Mario 3D World: Flower-12 -- Boss Blitz

It's time to take on the bosses in the Sprixie Kingdom. You'll start out in an area with 6 warp boxes, one of which is locked. You'll have to go through each warp box, defeat the boss, and you'll return here, with a Key Coin in place of the warp box you just went through. From left to right, the bosses are King Ka-Thunk, Pom Pom, two Hisstocrats at the same time, Boss Brolder, and Boom Boom. You'll want to deal with King Ka-Thunk, Pom Pom, and Boom Boom first, in whatever order you desire. Theses are quick boss fights and you won't need power-ups. Time management is key here. Once the battle is over, quickly warp out of there and ignore the coins. After those three, tackle Boss Brolder. This fight may take a little longer. After you beat Boss Brolder, the first Green Star will appear.

At the end, you'll fight two Hisstocrats at once. You'll want to get a Cat Suit and have one in reserve. If you're playing alone, pick either Peach or Luigi. When you stomp on one of the Hisstocrats, their extended jumps may allow you to hit the other one without touching the ground. This will be one of the longer fights, so try to take them out quickly and efficiently. The second Green Star will appear after you win. You'll want at least 100 seconds left after you beat them.

Once you unlock the warp box, it takes you to the last boss fight, Motley Bossblob. If you're still powered up and have at least 100 seconds left at the start of this fight, you should be okay. Grab the Double Cherries after he pounds the ground and chase after him. Once you defeat him, the third Green Star and a pipe appear, leading to a clock and the flagpole.

There are no stamps in World Flower.

Super Mario 3D World: Bowser-Train -- The Bowser Express

Bowser's got a train in his world. It's an automatically scrolling level. The first Green Star is on the back of the caboose. To reach it, hit the invisible block over the triple item block on the side of the train so you can board. Be quick about it. Ahead is a stack of Goombas with a Fire Flower in the middle. Pound them to get it. Also on board the train are Conkdor. Use fireballs to get rid of them, or run past them quickly when you have room. There's a pendulum made of a spike bar on the next car. Jump over it when it's low, then go into the next car filled with water. There are Madpoles in the car, so drop down to where they can't get you and hit the POW Block. Up ahead are two spike bar pendulums and a Green Ring. Collect the Green Coins to get the second Green Star, then get onto the roof of the next car by bouncing on the ants. You'll find the stamp here. Alternatively, you can go through the door, where there are Goombas and Microgoombas. The next car is the engine with a Hammer Bro and Fire Bro. The Fire Bro guards the third Green Star in the engine room.

The pipe takes you to Pom Pom. She'll make many copies of herself: first 6, then 8, then 9. Stomp the one with the pink ninja star three times to defeat her. A warp box to the flag will appear.

The stamp is of a Conkdor.

Super Mario 3D World: 3- Castle -- The Bullet Bill Express

This is an automatically scrolling level. At first, you're on the station platform with the train moving. Hit the item blocks for a cannon box, then quickly get on the train and go to the back for the first Green Star. Bullet Bills will be firing at you. You must get on the train or you'll soon run out of platform and fall. Once on board, move towards the front of the train. There are spinning flies near the item blocks, which have Super Leaves for Tanooki Suits. A train will appear in the background and fire Cat Bullet Bills that will home in on your location. Ahead is the second Green Star in a stack of Goombas. Nearby is an invisible block with a Mega Mushroom. Use it, which helps with the Cat Banzai Bills, but do not destroy the green pipe ahead. Take the green pipe to the train in the background.

On the back train, the level will continue to scroll. You'll find a few crates. Break them to free Captain Toad to get the third Green Star. Over the engine is a warp block back to the main train. There are Fire Bros near the engine. Drop down to enter the engine for the stamp. The pipe on the engine will take you to Pom Pom. She has a ninja star this time. She'll split into three and attack. Hit the one with the pink ninja star and she'll split into four, then five. Once you defeat her, the warp box to the flagpole and the blue Sprixie Princess will appear. Once you free her, she'll use a hammer to create a clear pipe.

The stamp is of Pom Pom. The Sprixie House here has the stamp of the yellow Sprixie Princess.

Super Mario 3D Land: S8- Crown

It's time for the last level! You can only access this level when you have five stars on your file. To get those stars, you need to beat every level with both Mario and Luigi, get all Star Coins, and get a golden flag on each level (get a 1-up at the flagpole). If you're not sure which levels you need to replay, have Mario or Luigi stand in front of that level's icon and check the lower right corner of the top screen, which has symbols to tell you who has completed the level and if you've gotten a gold flag.

I recommend having two Statue Leaves here. No Star Coins, midpoints, or power-ups here. We find ourselves in space with the Toads. Hammer Bros and a Boomerang Bro are here as well. Shooting stars rain down. We hop across the blocks to an orange Mystery Box. Pink Toad is in the next area, as well as Goombas. This is a platforming challenge from used blocks. The challenge continues on the walls. We bounce off of two Paragoombas and find a block snake. We hop up more used item blocks and continue. Toad is standing on one of the blocks. Double bounce from him to reach the pipe. Nooooo! Not Boom Boom and Pom Pom again! We defeat them and go through another green pipe. Next are green arrow platforms on tracks with Fuzzies. Be sure to land on the arrow of the direction you want to go in: there's nothing stopping you from rolling off the track. Bob-ombs with tails drop in. Next are fire bars. At the end is another Mystery Box, which takes you to more fire bars and donut lifts. The Mystery Box takes you to a maze area where giant Cosmic Mario appears. Flames make the walls, but you can go under some. It's a short area. The next area has green bridges that spell "THANK YOU!!" while you ride on a yellow platform. The last exclamation point has a Mystery Box that takes you to a flagpole with a lot of Toads and fireworks. We get a 1-up at the flagpole. Victory! We're done!

Super Mario 3D Land: S4- Airship

We need 160 Star Coins to unlock this level and have 217. We launch from the cannon. We walk across the Airship to the green pipe, which takes us to a room with two Boomerang Bros and a Hammer Bro. We defeat them all for a Boomerang Flower. We go through the green pipe that appears and take out another Hammer Bro. There's a red ! block which makes blocks to the first Star Coin. Jump for it. We get the second Star Coin in the same way and fall.

Take 3- I died from a Boomerang Bro.
Take 4- I died from a spike snake.

Take 7- I got in one hit and died.
Take 8- We defeat Boom Boom and the spikes disappear. We go through a green pipe and approach a clock, when Pom Pom appears. Great. I got in one hit and fell.

Super Mario 3D Land: 7- Airship

What will happen on the last Airship? Let's see! Something tells me that we may have to duke it out with both Boom Boom and Pom Pom. We launch from the cannon. This Airship is an Auto-sidescroller. We have to cross rotating platforms. On the edge towards the screen of the first platform is the first Star Coin. We walk to the edge to get it, then walk back up to safety. We cross three rotating platforms and get a Boomerang Flower. I fell off the platform with the Goomba cutout.
Take 2- We make it to the Goomba cutout and a Magikoopa appears. We dodge the magic. Past that is another Magikoopa and three red rotating platforms. The second Star Coin is on the far one. After that are red rotating platforms with spike blocks. I fell off. I recommend collecting lots of coins.
Take 3- We get the Boomerang Flower and use boomerangs to take out the Magikoopas. At then end is a purple Airship. We pass the pipe with a Rocky Wrench and hop up to the Airship above. There's a red rotating platform with the third Star Coin and a Goomba cutout. We go into the green pipe. Yes, we have to battle both of them, at the same time. I got in two hits to Boom Boom and one to Pom Pom. To make the battle a little easier, Pom Pom stays on the red stage, while Boom Boom stays on the floor. I died from a boomerang.
Take 4- I got the first two Star Coins, the Boomerang Flower, and fell.
Take 5- I got the first Star Coin and the Boomerang Flower and fell.
Take 6- The gold block appears. See Take 5.

Take 8- See Take 4.
Take 9- All three Star Coins. I got in two hits each and died from running into Pom Pom.

Take 11- The P-Wing appeared. See Take 5.
Take 12- See Take 4.
Take 13- All three Star Coins. I hit Boom Boom and hit Pom Pom's boomerang.
Take 14- See Take 4.
Take 15- See Take 4.
Take 16- I got all three Star Coins and beat them both. A good strategy is to hit one, then the other soon after. As one goes into their shell cycle, the other should be coming out of theirs. Pom Pom was defeated first and makes a lot of coins. The stage drops and we get in the last hit to Boom Boom. He makes coins and a green pipe appears. We go through the green pipe, get a clock, and reach the flagpole. Glad that's over.

Mario runs into the night, but this time, there are dragons flying around. There are volcanos in the background. The envelope has a picture of Bowser sitting on his throne with Peach beside him in a cage with pink ribbon. Shaking makes Bowser's head nod and tilting makes Peach's cage swing. Mario nodes and runs into the next world.

Super Mario 3D Land: 6- Airship

We launch from a cannon to the Airship. This one's an auto-sidescroller. We ran into a bomb thrown by a Rocky Wrench.
Take 2- We take a hit from a spike pillar and hop behind the crates for the first Star Coin. We miss the second Star Coin and take another hit from a pillar. We wall jump at the top above two horizontal pillars for the third Star Coin. The end of the Airship is pink, which means we're dealing with Pom Pom. This time, we're dealing with her over pits of fire. I got in one hit, but fell in the fire.
Take 3- We get the first and third Star Coins and died from the pillars.
Take 4- We got the first and third Star Coins, but died from Pom Pom after getting in one hit.

Take 24- I got in the third hit and fell into the fire.
Take 25- See Take 11.
Take 26- I got all the Star Coins and finally defeated Pom Pom. That was tedious. I recommend hopping between two platforms when she's in her shell cycle. After she's defeated, the fire goes out and coins appear, as well as a green pipe. Well, we know what to expect from here on out. We go through the pipe and reach the flagpole.

Mario runs into the night and finds an envelope with a Tanooki Tail. The picture shows Peach being chased by Bowser, Boom Boom, and a whole slew of enemies. Shaking makes some enemies jump and everyone shake. Mario freaks out and runs to the next world.

Super Mario 3D Land: 4- Airship

We shoot from a cannon to the Airship, which an auto-sidescroller. We have to deal with the red and blue flipping platforms. We fell off.
Take 2- We get the first Star Coin by walking around instead of taking the short cut while dodging Rocky Wrenches. We drop down below the rolling spikes to get the second Star Coin, but were too far to the left and died.
Take 3- I got the first Star Coin and fell.
Take 4- We get the first two Star Coins. We fell from trying to kill a Boomerang Bro.
Take 5- We get all three Star Coins. The third Star Coin flips with the platform, so walk over when the blue platforms are up. The end Airships are pink. Could this mean something? We go down the green pipe. The interior is also pink and it means something. Instead of Boom Boom, we are met by a Koopa with a ponytail and a Boomerang. Her name is Pom Pom. We got in one hit and she flew over and dropped on us with her shell.
Take 6- The gold block appeared. See Take 5.
Take 7- We got the first two coins and fell.
Take 8- We got all three Star Coins and got in two hits.

Take 12- We get all three Star Coins and die after one hit.
Take 13- We get all three Star Coins and fell.
Take 14- See Take 13.
Take 15- We get all three Star Coins and beat her. Using the Tanooki Tail works. We go through the pipe and get a 1-up at the flagpole.

Mario walks through the night and finds another envelope. The picture inside shows Peach chased by stacked Goombas. She yells, "Help me!" Shaking makes her jump and the Goombas shake. Mario runs off, jumping over two Monty Moles.
