New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle-2 -- Bridge over Poisoned Waters

Purple water makes a reappearance in Soda Jungle and it's just as lethal as always. There are logs in the water that spin when anything stands on them. Keep jumping on the logs to keep from falling in the water. The Acorn Mushroom you can get is very helpful here. There are some pipes that make an infinite amount of Goombas. Under the second of these pipes is the first Star Coin. After that, you'll see some brick blocks moving over the water. One of the logs has a lot of open space above it. There are three tiers of invisible blocks over it, leading to a pipe. There's a P-Switch in the lower left corner and the second Star Coin is out of reach. Activate the P-Switch and run along the brick. More brick will appear where you step. Wall jump up to the level of the Star Coin and go past it, to the POW Block in the upper left corner. Once the P-Switch power runs out, use the POW Block to make the second Star Coin fall to the ground, along with a lot of coins. Return to the main level and go past a log with lots of coins to reach the midpoint. Next is a set of brick blocks that will appear out of the water, then return into it. Carefully step on them and follow them to the third Star Coin. You'll also come across a nearby Red Coin Ring. Once you return to solid ground, you'll see pillars of land. There's a low brick block between two of the land pillars. Hit it with a shell to make a vine appear. This vine will take you to the red goal, which opens a shortcut to Soda Jungle-6 and -7. Otherwise, keep going to the right for the regular goal, which opens the path to the Fort.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle-1 -- Jungle of the Giants

This level is like Supermassive Galaxy: everything in it is larger than normal. The item blocks, brick blocks, Goombas, and Koopas are all massive. The giant Goombas will split a couple of times, resulting in 8 normally-sized Goombas. Grab the (normally-sized) Fire Flower and go past the giant Piranhas. It will take a few fireballs to kill them. Use the giant Koopa shell to hit some lower blocks that will give you access to the first Star Coin. Next will be a set of four pipes. Mario can't go through the large pipes. There is a normally-sized pipe in the set, but it's blocked by blocks. Use a shell to get rid of the blocks. It leads to a P-Switch and some coins. The midpoint is soon after you return to the main level. The pipe after the sign with the arrow leads to a P-Switch and the second Star Coin. Bounce off the Goomba to reach the Star Coin. There's a set of low brick blocks with some item blocks in it. Use a shell to get rid of some of the bricks so you can reach some of the item blocks. The second item block in the set has a Starman. Run to the end of the level and triple jump up the blocks with the giant Koopas to reach the third Star Coin right in front of the flag. This opens the path to Soda Jungle-2 and -3.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Soda Jungle- Airship -- The Mighty Cannonship

Once you leave either Frosted Glacier or Sparkling Waters for the first time after clearing the castle, you'll come across this lone spot where the Bowser Airship flies in and picks up Mario. There are Mecha Koopas on board. Cannons fire cannonballs at you while the level automatically sidescrolls. There are screws you'll have to jump on repeatedly to make them move. There are stacks of crates you can pound, and if you quickly go down a rope ladder, you'll find the first Star Coin. After the first Star Coin is a Red Coin Ring, as well as another screw. Bounce off of a cannonball to reach the second Star Coin high in the air. Past the midpoint is a red pipe that takes you underwater, where you'll find Mecha Cheep-Cheep and red, homing Torpedo Teds. The third Star Coin is surrounded by brick blocks, so either be at least Super Mario to break the bricks, or let Torpedo Ted break them for you. Go down the red pipe that the sign with the arrow is pointing to, and that leads you to a room with Bowser Jr. in a Clown Submarine. The room fills with water and Bowser Jr. fires red Torpedo Teds at you. Lead the Torpedo Teds into the submarine for a hit. Bowser Jr. will then send a wave of regular Torpedo Teds at you from the sides, so stay out of their way. After hitting him a second time, the regular Torpedo Teds will appear from the floor and ceiling. After the third hit, the water drains from the room. Bowser Jr. hops into the Clown Copter and the Airship's hand appears to swipe Mario away. Mario dodges the hand and leaves the Airship, watching it fly away. We can now save our game. This opens the path to Soda Jungle-1.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Frosted Glacier- Castle -- Wendy's Shifting Castle

This castle is filled with platforms that are connected at 90 degree angles, that rotate from a post. This makes jumping to other posts easier or harder, depending on what part of the platform is level with the floor. Get an Ice Flower and prepare to dodge the Thwomps. Making a comeback in this game are the Thwimps, smaller versions of Thwomps. You'll come across a long line of Thwomps you'll have to quickly run under. Behind the last Thwomp is the first Star Coin. After that is the midpoint. Next are more Thwimps and 90 degree platforms. You'll drop down under the second set of brick blocks to a hidden area with coins. Over that same set of brick blocks is an invisible block and a pipe. Carefully climb up to the pipe. It will take you to a room with Thwimps and the second Star Coin. Time the Thwimps' movements and carefully get the Star Coin. When you return to the main level, on the right side of one of the pillars with the 90 degree platforms is a green pipe. You'll find a set of infinite platforms moving up or down. You'll find the third Star Coin behind the giant Thwomp. Return to the main level and you'll find another set of Thwomps. There are coins to guide your jumping. This will lead you to the boss door. There's a Fire Flower in an invisible block on the right wall. Once through the door, use the cannon to blast to the Airship. Inside, the floor is filled with ice and Wendy O. Koopa is on ice skates. She skates around and makes rings appear. Stomp her and she spins around in her shell. Stomp her three times to defeat her. The path to the Soda Jungle opens up. We have all the Star Coins in Frosted Glacier.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Frosted Glacier- Fliprus -- Fliprus Lake

The Fliprus is a walrus that likes to throw snowballs. You can freeze them with the Ice Flower, but you can't pick them up. The level has lots of water with crates floating in it. If you stand on the crates for a while, they briefly sink, then spring up, allowing you to reach new heights. There are floating Piranha Plants in the water with spike balls, so be careful when jumping over gaps. The first Star Coin is over the red Koopa on the moving brick blocks. Take the yellow platform up to a green pipe where you'll find the second Star Coin guarded by two Flipruses. Freeze them, then pound them to get rid of them. Under a ledge to the right of some crates is a 1-up in a brick block. In the water is a stack of three crates. Spring up from it and go right for the third Star Coin, which is hidden. Deal with the crates and Flipruses to reach the flagpole. This opens a path to a railroad with a bone coaster to the Rock-Candy Mines.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Frosted Glacier- Ghost House -- Swaying Ghost House

This level is an automatic sidescroller, which moves left and right, back and forth, up and down. In the first room, the level will scroll to the right, allowing you to reach a P-Switch. Hit the P-Switch and run to the left. Go up and over the platform you just went over, then drop down and go to the right. The brick blocks that were blocking access from the left are now coins, allowing you to drop down and reach the first Star Coin. Quickly go to the left and go through the coins to reach a door on the far left. Following the trail of Silver Coins will accomplish the same goal. This door leads to the second room, where you'll find a pole and two doors. Some item blocks will serve as the platform you'll use to go through the doors. From this room forward, the level becomes a maze. Follow the following path so you don't bother with rooms that don't take you anywhere.

In the room with the pole, take the top door. This leads to a room with a P-Switch, a line of coins, and a door below the door you came through. The level will scroll in a rectangular pattern, so wait until the camera lowers, then drop down to the newly-formed brick blocks, which will allow you to reach the lower door. In this room, you'll see a set of two coins that will move ahead of you. Dodge the Boos and hit the P-Switch, then run to the end of the room. While the coins are still brick blocks, jump on them, then wall jump for the second Star Coin. Take the door below to return to the room with the moving blocks and the P-Switch (the room that leads to the room with the second Star Coin, not the room with the pole). Activate the P-Switch and drop onto the brick blocks. Go to the right, which has a door in an invisible area below the door on the same level as the P-Switch.

This leads to a room with three doors. The level will scroll horizontally. On the far left wall is an invisible area with a ? Switch. Hit it and run all the way to the right. You don't need to jump. Under the door you came through is an invisible area with a door. This leads to a room with a high ceiling. There are Boos all over the place. Do not collect the line of coins. Hit the P-Switch, then jump on the newly-formed bricks. Keep jumping quickly, as the brick blocks will follow you. You'll find some giant Boos near the top. If you jump quickly enough, you'll reach a platform with a door. This leads to a giant Boo and the regular flagpole. This opens the path to the castle.

If you return to the room with the high ceiling and the line of coins, hit the P-Switch again. Jump even more quickly into the center of the ceiling, where you'll find a hidden door. This leads to a room that only scrolls to the right. With good timing, you have to hit the P-Switch above you and move through the maze of brick blocks and coins. When you see two sets of brick blocks below a gap in the ceiling, quickly wall jump up for the third Star Coin. The door here leads to the red goal, which opens the path to Frosted Glacier- Fliprus.

New Super Mario Bros. U: Frosted Glacier-5 -- Icicle Caverns

Time to deal with more icicles. A large icicle will drop from the ceiling so you can reach the pipe. This leads to an underground cave with icicles. You'll get the Fire Flower in this level, which is completely useless against the Buzzy Beetles. After a set of yellow verertically-moving platforms, you find a set of brick blocks. Above it is an invisible block, which allows you to go up and over the ceiling for some coins. There is an invisible area to the right of where one of the large icicles will fall. The large icicle will block your access to it, so move quickly. The first Star Coin is there. Dodge the icicles and you'll see a Red Coin Ring. The midpoint is after that. Over a set of brick blocks is an Ice Bro. There's a pipe over it, which leads to the second Star Coin. If you're having difficulty reaching the pipe, use an Acorn Mushroom. The second Star Coin is between two large icicles. Towards the end, there will be small icicles, as well as a series of large ones leading to the end pipe. If you're quick enough, you can slip under the last large icicle and reach a different pipe, which will allow you to reach the third Star Coin, which is up in the air. Both pipes lead to the same goal. This opens the path to the Ghost House.
