Part 6

This guide covers Part 6 of Super Mario 3D Land, offering recommendations on how to play, World 1-1 walkthrough, and Star Coin locations.

This section of the walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land provides recommendations on how to play the game and begins the walkthrough for World 1. It assumes you are playing as Mario and are not Small Mario when encountering power-ups.

Recommendations On How To Play The Game:

• Collect all Star Coins as you play through each level to save time later.
• Use Luigi once unlocked, as his higher jump can be advantageous, though he slides more. You will need to complete courses with both characters eventually.
• Decide early if you want to play the final level, which requires completing all courses with both characters and achieving golden flags. If so, prioritize getting golden flags on your first playthrough. If not, you can be more relaxed, but still aim for golden flags on subsequent playthroughs with the other character.

World 1 [MWW1]

Overworld Map

The World 1 overworld map includes levels 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, World 1-Castle, Mystery Box, and Toad House (Red). Warp Pipes are also indicated.

Note: After completing World 8, a Warp Pipe appears at the start of World 1, leading to Special World 1.

World 1-1 [MWW11]

Start by running right and hitting the ? Block. Collect coins flying over the white bridge by timing your jump. Deal with the Goomba and hit the next ? Block for a Tanooki Leaf. Continue right to the tightrope.

• Star Coin Alert! #1: Jump onto the tightrope and move right. Avoid the Cheep-Cheep and grab the Star Coin. You can also collect the flying coins.

Move off the tightrope's anchor blocks to the ground below. Break the crate blocking a hidden path. Run down the path, collect the 1-Up, and run up until you hit the end. Jump left to exit the hidden area. Hit the Big ? Block and defeat any Goombas. Jump onto a yellow platform to reach the upper level. Defeat the two Goombas if desired and grab the Checkpoint Flag. Running through the white flowers to the right yields a Super Mushroom.

• Star Coin Alert! #2: This Star Coin is located on the upper level, past the Checkpoint Flag. Time your jump carefully to reach it.
