Navigate Part 47 of Super Mario 3D Land with our comprehensive guide. Discover Star Coin locations, enemy strategies, and platforming tips to conquer this challenging level.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by testing the first platform by jumping on and off it.
- 2Head northwest and jump across platforms, ignoring the Goomba for now. Continue until you reach a platform with blue metal caps on its corners.
- 3Jump over the next Grinder platform and onto the one after it. Stomp the Goomba.
- 4Move north and jump onto the Grinder platforms. Continue north until the platforms veer right. You can ignore the ? Block as it only contains a few coins.
- 5Star Coin #1: Move right, stomp the Goomba, and quickly jump onto the platform with the Star Coin. Grab it and jump diagonally southeast onto the next platform.
- 6Continue down the platforms, stomping the next Goomba. Keep moving down the platforms between the walls (with Grinders on either side) until you reach a platform with blue metal corner caps.
- 7Stomp the Goomba and hit the two ? Blocks ahead (left for a coin, right for a Tanooki Leaf).
- 8Jump onto the long, thin rotating platform to your left. Wait for it to stop rotating before running right and jumping onto the next platform. You can optionally hit the Large ? Block for coins by timing your move with the Grinder.
- 9Stomp the two Tanooki Goombas and hit the ? Blocks (side ones for coins, middle for multiple coins).
- 10Move onto the Grinder platforms to the northeast.
- 11Star Coin #2: Skip the three Tanooki Goombas and run to grab the Star Coin on the northwest platform. Be quick as platforms will fall. Move to the northeast platform and then to the platform with the Checkpoint Flag.
- 12Hit the Checkpoint Flag and run up the steps to your right.
- 13Run along the thin wooden platform, avoiding the Grinder. Keep jumping along the platforms, avoiding the Grinders. On the last platform, you can hit the ? Block for a Tanooki Leaf.
- 14Jump onto the green platform. Ignore the two fake Goombas.
- 15Grab the coin behind the right Goomba to trigger a coin trail. Collect all coins.
- 16Move onto the wooden platform to your north; it will begin floating north after a pause.
- 17Star Coin #3: Move to the left edge of the floating platform. Jump over any Paragoombas. Stay on the platform until you reach the Star Coin. Grab it and jump one platform to the right. Follow that until the end, grab the Blue Clock, and jump to the last platform to your right. Jump onto the green platform at the end.
- 18Run up the platforms, staying in the center to the right of the Grinders. Jump to the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
Tips
- Be mindful of the dropping platforms and Grinders; don't stop moving unless necessary.
- The rotating platforms can be tricky; wait for them to stop or time your movements carefully.
- Tanooki Goombas can be stomped, but focus on reaching the objective rather than defeating them unless it's convenient.
- The Blue Clock in Star Coin #3's area triggers a trail of coins, so be sure to collect them.
