Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, defeat the Spear Guy and proceed. Collect the [Jump] and [Baahammer]. Head right, defeat another Spear Guy and Piranha Plants, grabbing the [Shell] and [Shiny Eekhammer]. Return to the flower, hammer it to stun, then cross the bridge.
  2. 2
    On the other side, defeat the Boomerang Bro and Hammer Bro. Paperize near the high ?-Block to reach the upper block for a [Flashy Fire Flower] and the lower block for a [Jump]. Backtrack east and grab the [Iron Jump] off the rock.
  3. 3
    Head north to find another [Iron Jump]. Enter the grass-bush to the east and defeat Spear Guys and Piranha Plants. Hit the ?-Block for a [Flashy Jump].
  4. 4
    Go northeast to find a hidden room with a [Toy Bat]. Back outside, check the grass to the north. Defeat the Spear Guy and grab the [Flashy Hammer] from the block.
  5. 5
    Head east, defeat the Spear Guy, and grab the [Burnhammer] and [Baahammer] from the northern ?-Blocks. Exit the grass to the east.
  6. 6
    Defeat the Spear Guy on the upper ledge and collect the [Shiny Iron Jump] from the ?-Block, the [Jump] on the wall, and the [Slaphammer] on the wall. Head north.
  7. 7
    In the next area, head northeast. Find the blue flower ring and jump up for a [Shiny Shell]. Go up the ramp. After the Spear Guys escape, defeat the others and guide the one with the [Bridge Part] to the northwestern corner.
  8. 8
    Go up the steps, heal/save. Head west into the trash heap. Go to the northwestern corner for a secret upgrade-item area. Return to the trash heap and paperize the Goat in the center.
  9. 9
    Go after the Spear Guy and defeat him for another [Bridge Part] scrap. Head to the eastern area.
  10. 10
    Grab the [Shiny Iron Jump] and [Iron Jump]. Defeat all enemies, including the Hammer Bros. The ?-Blocks contain a [Slaphammer] and a [Megaflash Hurlhammer].
  11. 11
    Head south to the steps. Grab the [Jump] below and head right. Defeat the Piranha Plant and grab the sticker. Go back left, hammer the bush next to the grassy ledge, and pull the Bowser tape to reach the next area. Hammer the flower and cross before it awakens.
  12. 12
    Slip behind the flower, head right, and grab the [HP-Up Heart]. Head east.
  13. 13
    Go up the steps behind you. Hit the ?-Block for THREE [POW Block] stickers. Go southwest and drop down. Hammer right next to the wall to reveal a block.
  14. 14
    Defeat all enemies. Guide the Spear Guy with the scrap up the ramp to the west, following him to the flower.
  15. 15
    Collect stickers: a [Hammer], a [Slaphammer], an [Iron Jump]. Hammer the flower, rush to the top, and jump across. Grab the [Bridge Part] scrap and hit the ?-Block for a [Flashy Clone Jump].
  16. 16
    Backtrack to the right before the flower on the other side. Jump over the grasses in the background and head left to find the [Powder Puff].
  17. 17
    Paperize to fill in the bridge with the scraps. Finish the stage.
  18. 18
    Jungle Rapids: Head right and enter the boat house. Jump over the raft and grab the [Jump]. Get on the raft and destroy the block.
  19. 19
    Navigate the raft, moving to avoid incoming spears and barrels thrown by Shy Guys. Steer by running against the invisible box that acts as your raft's forcefield. Continue until you reach the waterfall.
  20. 20
    Follow the coins until you reach the next set of falls.
  21. 21
    Fish Bones will start attacking your raft. Hammer them off before they take a log. The third and fourth Fish Bones will bring a [Rubber Ducky] which you should immediately pick up. Hammer them off.
  22. 22
    Continue until you reach the dock. Instead of going for the goal, head left (in front of the fence) and go into the cave.
  23. 23
    Take the pipe. Head west. Hammer the ?-Block for a [Flashy Clone Jump] and continue westward.
  24. 24
    Talk to the Toad and refuse to pay the 500 coins. Defeat the five Spear Guys in one turn. The Toad will then storm back.
