Tips
  • Piranha Plants respawn but only yield a Blue Coin once.
  • Sneak up on Piranha Plants for easier defeats.
  • When Whomps are flat on the ground, you can jump on their backs for coins before Ground Pounding them.
  • Knocking down the giant wooden plank is safer than Long Jumping to the floating platforms.
