8: Even if you've collected all the Starman power-ups, your invincibility will soon be wearing off-act fast to plow into any of Bowser's underlings foolish enough to cross your path.

You should be earning a 1-Up for each enemy you beat! Collect the Starman on the left side, ram into as many of Lakitu's Spiny Eggs as you can, then collect the Starman in the block on the right side before you invincibility wears off.

7: Starman power-ups are sealed in blocks on both sides of the short pipe.

If your invincibility wears off now, you'll have to face Lakitu.

6: Tempted by the Switch Block? Don't stop to stomp it! Unless your Starman has worn off, you don't have time.

Instead, bump the bottom block to grab a Starman, and sprint forward. It holds a power-up, but you don't have time to collect it if you're trying to catch all of the Starman power-ups in a row.

5: If you're still invincible, forget the ? Block that hangs above the regular block.

Piranha Plants infest the upper the lower is loaded with power-ups and coins! Only Frog Mario can collect more than 46 coins and get a White Mushroom House to appear. Pipes in this desert join upper and lower area.

6: Wait for the Red Koopa Paratroopa to reach its highest point, then jump on top of it while holding to hit an Invisible Block that provides a 1-Up.Įscape the heat and enjoy a plunge in an underground reservoir.

You'll end up in a room stacked to the ceiling with coins. If you're Raccoon or Tanooki Mario, run to fill your P-Meter and fly to the pipe above.

5: Stomp the Koopa Troopa on the clearing and kick its shell down the gap.

Follow it and you should land on a pipe and not lose any height.

4: Once you make this 1-Up appear, it will probably fall right.

It'll ricochet between them, and you will snatch the power-up as soon as it escapes the block you're standing on.

3: To get the Super Leaf power-up, stomp on the Koopa Troopa, pick him up and get on top of the left ? Block.

You'll find a valuable 1-Up in an Invisible Block above the platform. It can be tricky, so don't feel bad if you need several attempts to succeed. 2: Standing atop the pipe, jump up and around the blocks overhead to reach the platform they create.If you're Fiery Mario, the pesky plants are easy to slash and burn.

You'll have to get into this pipe quick, because the Piranha will only stay in its pipe for a second. 1: Carefully time your jumps to avoid the Piranha Plants.
