Beat Bowser and Clear World 5 in Super Mario 3D Land

AntMag.NET

You'll face Bowser again in this final encounter before the button that defeats him. Run along the south edge, which is a tight squeeze, or dodge fireballs and wait for him to jump before running underneath. Once you reach the other side, jump onto the black button with a red Bowser emblem to make him fall into the lava. The door to your right will open. Enter, pass the Toads, and hit the Warp Box at the end. You'll emerge into a Green Clock. Jump up the crates to the top one, then take a running jump off the right edge onto the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.

Course Clear!

WORLD 5 CLEAR!

|Star Coin Alert! #1| |

o-------------------o |

| Jump over the left rock and onto the platform |

| behind it. There's a Star Coin there to pick |

| up. Grab it and run back. |

o-------------------------------------------------o

Move onto the bridge to your right. Hit the ? Block for a coin. Jump over where the Cheep-Cheeps are flying over the bridge. There's an infinite number of them so you can defeat a few to grab some extra coins. Continuing on, look out for the part of the bridge that looks a bit weak. A Porcu-Puffer will jump through this section, destroying it a few seconds after you move into near to it. You can run straight through and you'll clear it in time.

After is a roulette block. Getting a Super Star from it would be amazing. Remember how there's an infinite number of Cheep-Cheeps jumping over the bridge a little way back? Well just ahead is another lot. While you're invincible, run over to them and touch as many of them as you can. I got 12 1-Ups, although I think you could get as many as 18 1-Up or maybe even more if you were super quick. If you get something else, just make as much use of it as you can.

Past the roulette block is a two wide group of Cheep-Cheeps jumping over the bridge, a small gap and then a three wide group of Cheep Cheeps jumping over. Run along, jumping, dodging and stomping the Cheep-Cheeps as needed until you're on the small grassy platform between the two wooden bridges.

Move to the next wooden bridge and stomp the three Tanooki Goombas that are jumping around on the bridge as if they own it. Jump off of this bridge and onto the next small platform separating the two bridges, timing it so that you don't get hit by a Cheep-Cheep. Move straight off it onto the next bridge. There's a trail of five Biddybuds strolling down this one. Stomp them all without touching the ground for that 1-Up. At the end of the bridge is a grassy platform. Hit the right brick block for a coin and run through the eastern patch of flowers for another. Collect the coins along the back wall and jump onto the tightrope. Porcu-Puffers jump out from behind the waterfall, flying past roughly halfway across the tightrope. Wait for one to past and then move onto the other side. Hit the Checkpoint Flag on the small plateau.

Look through the Binoculars now. On the hill to your left is a yellow Toad. If you zoom in on the guy, he'll begin moving. Zoom out and follow where he goes. He'll jump into the waterfall you're going to be passing fairly soon. You can also look to your right and up to see the last of the three Star Coins. Stop looking through the Binoculars.

|Star Coin Alert! #2| |

o-------------------o |

| If you jump down south and kick the rock into |

| the Warp Pipe a 1-Up will pop out. Much better |

| than a coin, am I right? Enter that Warp Pipe |

| to enter into an underwater area. Swim forward |

| through the red ring. Collect all the red coins|

| that appear to collect a Tanooki Leaf or 1-Up |

| if you're already a special Mario type. Dodging|

| the two Cheep-Cheeps, go through the two yellow|

| rings for extra coins. The Star Coin is near |
