Part 43

To perform the major shortcut, begin by jumping off the cliff edge towards the Goal Pole in the background and hovering.

Continue hovering past the rail and land.

Jump up the Warp Pipe steps, stomping the Piranha Plant in the second Warp Pipe when it attacks.

Above the second Warp Pipe, jump to hit an invisible block for a 1-Up.

Jump to the top Warp Pipe and take a running jump off the right edge onto the Goal Pole for another 1-Up.

Move right and hit the rock, then move left and up to hit another rock containing a coin and a Coin Coffer.

Stomp the Coin Coffer repeatedly until it dies to receive all coins. Stomping it without touching the ground grants a 1-Up.

Break the fake Warp Pipe to reveal a trail of coins; follow it and jump into the water at the end.

Float down through the first yellow ring, then move right and hit six brick blocks for coins.

Watch out for the Cheep-Cheep and fall through the second yellow ring.

Float left through a third yellow ring into the next area.

Star Coin Alert! #1: Break the crates closest to you; the Star Coin is behind them.

The far right ? Block contains a Fire Flower; others contain a single coin.

Go up and hit the P-Switch to open a stone door.

Swim along the top of the ceiling, pressing 'A' constantly, and move over the Spiky Plants. If you are Fire Mario, shoot fireballs to defeat them.

Swim under the two Porcu-Puffers, being careful not to fall below the screen, which results in death.

Exit the Warp Pipe and collect coins between two lines of brick blocks. The top row of brick blocks, except the far right one, contains one coin each.

Exit through the Warp Pipe.

Move up the tunnel between the two Porcu-Puffers. Break the brick blocks above and grab the Green Clock. The top right brick block contains coins.

Fall back down and move right; the current will push you forward through the tunnel, making return impossible. Ensure you have completed all desired actions before proceeding.

Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag.

Move north down the tunnel and go through the red ring, then swim back quickly to grab five coins in time for a Fire Flower.

Move south and drop down past the Spike Eel when there is enough room. Hit the ? Block below for coins.

Wait for space to pass the second Spike Eel and move through the yellow ring.

On the wall behind the third Spike Eel's movement path, break the crates (using tail spin or fireballs) to grab the 1-Up behind.

Move back out when the Spike Eel retreats and drop down past it. If impatient, use fireballs to make it sink.

Fall down the tunnel moving down and right; the current pushes you through and prevents easy return. Complete all actions before entering this tunnel.

Go through the yellow ring at the bottom and dodge or hit the Porcu-Puffer with fireballs if you are Fire Mario.

Bounce off the note blocks into the air and move up through the brick blocks.

Star Coin Alert! #2: You will encounter the back end of the lowest Spike Eel. As the Spike Eel...
