Complete walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land World 4-2, including Star Coin locations and the secret exit.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Move north and right, behind the blue wall for coins. Drop to the bottom level, run right, collect three coins, and stomp the Inky Piranha Plant.
  2. 2
    Jump left past a five-high Goomba stack and stomp the second Inky Piranha Plant.
  3. 3
    Jump onto the top of the Goomba stack and hit all five without touching the ground for a 1-Up.
  4. 4
    Jump towards the right platform with six coins, then wall jump off the back wall to its left to land on the platform. Grab the coins and jump back left to where you stomped the second Inky Piranha Plant.
  5. 5
    Star Coin Alert! #1: Find a long rectangular shadow north of the second Inky Piranha Plant. Jump onto the small blue ridge at the back of the room and then jump up to grab the Star Coin.
  6. 6
    Move left and jump onto the rubber platform in the far left corner, underneath the ! Block. Bounce up and hit the block. Repeat this three times to spawn three Platform Blocks.
  7. 7
    As you move back south, use the momentum to get onto the elevated platform on your left. Run to the back and hit the ? Blocks for coins.
  8. 8
    Run back to the south-east part of the room and up the Platform Blocks. Jump north onto the first rubber platform, then north to the next.
  9. 9
    Jump up onto the platform to your right. Jump onto the small pillar and hit the ? Block for coins.
  10. 10
    Stomp the five-high Goomba stack to your right without touching the ground for a 1-Up. Do not jump down the hole on this level.
  11. 11
    Jump over the gap where the stack was and hit the ? Block until it runs out of coins.
  12. 12
    Hit the ! Block three times, then climb the steps on the right, onto the Platform Blocks, and up to the ledge on your left.
  13. 13
    Stomp the Inky Piranha Plant and hit the ! Block three times.
  14. 14
    Climb the Platform Blocks and onto the platform on your right. Hit the ! Block three times here and move across the bridge it creates.
  15. 15
    Stomp the four-high Goomba stack (no 1-Up possible). Jump onto the orange platform, then right onto the blue one.
  16. 16
    Hit the Large ? Block and grab the Fire Flower. Move to the large orange wall on your left, go to the back wall, and collect two coins.
  17. 17
    Star Coin Alert! #2: Crawl into a small gap at the base of the left wall. Move left until you fall into a room with a Star Coin. Grab it, then jump on the rubber platform at the back to be shot to a platform with a Green Clock. Grab it and fall off the right edge onto the orange platforms.
  18. 18
    Move right and jump onto the rubber platform. When you fly through the gap, fall to the right platform. Take out the three Goombas stacked in a tower.
  19. 19
    Star Coin Alert! #3: Hit the ! Block three times. Wall jump between the right wall and the platform blocks you created. Once at the top, hop onto the top platform blocks, jump up and grab the Star Coin, then fall back down.
  20. 20
    Jump over the gap and up the steps. Stomp the Inky Piranha Plant.
  21. 21
    Keep going up the steps to your left. Jump onto the rubber platform, collect coins as you shoot up, and keep jumping from rubber platform to rubber platform until you reach the top. Enter the Warp Pipe.
  22. 22
    Hit the ! Block to your left four times. Jump up the platform blocks, get a running start, and jump off the right edge to reach the Goal Pole.

Secret Exit:

  1. Instead of jumping up the four Rubber Platforms and entering the Warp Pipe, perform a large jump on the third platform.
  2. At the peak of your jump, wall jump off the wall to your left.
  3. Wall jump off the off-screen wall to Mario's right, then once more off the wall to your left.
  4. You should land on a secret platform above.
  5. Move right on the secret platform until you see a room with an orange Warp Pipe below. Drop down and enter the Warp Pipe to reach the beginning of World 5.
Tips
  • Stomping five-high Goomba stacks without touching the ground yields a 1-Up.
  • Tanooki Mario may be required to reach the top of the Goal Pole.
  • Anticipate when to perform wall jumps for the secret exit.
  • The Goal Pole is at the end of the level after the final Warp Pipe.
