Guide to The Electric Labyrinth in Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Learn how to collect all five Star Chips and navigate the Bullet Bill Run to get the Power Star.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the first section, you’ll need to collect five Launch Star chips. Each of the five warp pipes on the points of the star leads to a different area with one Star Chip.
  2. 2
    When in a bubble, use your star cursor (a little horn) to blow air and guide it. Hold A to go faster, tap A for more precision.
  3. 3
    All areas are fenced off by electrical rails; bumping into them will pop your bubble and suck you into the black hole.
  4. 4
    Top Warp Pipe: Head upwards, timing movements past rotating obstacles to avoid electrical rails. Grab the Star Chip, head up and left to a Sling Star back to the start.
  5. 5
    Top Right Warp Pipe: Head down, navigating between floating space mines. Grab the second Star Chip around two-thirds of the way down, continue down to a Sling Star back to the start.
  6. 6
    Bottom Right Warp Pipe: Head right, past a fast-moving amp. Grab the Star Chip shortly after the first amp. To pass the barrier of amps, move up near the edge of the electrical rails, then move left as the closest amp descends. Other amps will move down, clearing a path to the Sling Star.
  7. 7
    Bottom Left Warp Pipe: Head left. Wait for the row of fire pressures to turn off, then quickly move through to grab the Star Chip. Hug the platform moving up, right, and then down to reach the Sling Star.
  8. 8
    Top Left Warp Pipe: Make your way past a series of moving electrical rail barriers. Grab the Star Chip at the center of rotating electrical barriers. Head north to a Sling Star back to the starting area, where a Launch Star now awaits.
  9. 9
    Bullet Bill Run: Navigate the course while pursued by a Bullet Bill. Use Bullet Bill blasters to your advantage by leading them into obstacles or speeding past them.
  10. 10
    Avoid metal balls, rotating platforms, and floating mines, especially while a Bullet Bill is pursuing you.
  11. 11
    Near the end, hold A to speed past a row of Bullet Bill blasters. Quickly navigate a final ball obstacle to reach the Power Star.
Tips
  • In the Top Left Warp Pipe section, leave a gap between yourself and electrical barriers; even a slight scrape can pop your bubble.
  • In the Bottom Left Warp Pipe section, if you are fast enough, you can go straight back through the fire pressures before they turn on again.
  • In the Bullet Bill Run, the best way to deal with pursuing Bullet Bills is to get rid of them as soon as possible by zooming past them or guiding them into obstacles.
