Detailed walkthrough for Part 84 of Super Mario 3D Land, covering coin collection, Statue Leaf power-ups, Bullet Bills, and Star Coin locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Continue left from the first block and back onto the Switchboard.
- 2Collect coins and roll down the slope. Avoid the first brick block barrier.
- 3The right-most block of the first barrier contains a Statue Leaf. Tail Spin or Ground Pound it if desired.
- 4The second barrier's bottom four blocks contain single coins. The right-most top block can be hit multiple times for coins, but it's recommended to jump over the barrier.
- 5The third barrier's top left block is a Fake Block. Tail Spin blocks to make traversal easier and grab coins in the center, or jump over.
- 6To avoid a 1-Up, use Statue Mario's ability to Ground Pound the Switchboard. Stay in Statue Form to be impervious to Bullet Bills.
- 7To get the 1-Up (or Statue Leaf for Normal/Small Mario), jump through the red ring.
- 8Jump up to grab each red coin and dodge Bullet Bills and Tanooki Bills. The first Tanooki Bill from each turret drops a Statue Leaf.
- 9After passing Tanooki Bills, follow the rail. Stand near the center of the moving Switchboard.
- 10Roll off the end of the rail onto the geyser, which will launch you towards the Goal Pole.
- 11Shortly after the Switchboard starts falling, take a running jump from the right edge onto the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
- 12Special 5-4: The screen moves right; stay on-screen to avoid dying. Use floating platforms to advance.
- 13Jump onto the first floating platform, then to a stable one. Hop to the next floating platform to the north, then right, dodging a Stingby. Skip ? Blocks, brick blocks, and coins due to time constraints.
- 14Reach the first pink platform and run through the red ring. Jump across stable pink and brown platforms, collecting all coins for a 1-Up or Statue Leaf. Drop to the floating platform south.
- 15Star Coin Alert! #1: Jump to the floating platform to your right, grab the Star Coin mid-air between two platforms. Land, run right, and jump to the platform with a Warp Box. Deal with the Stingby if desired, then enter the Warp Box.
- 16After warping, the camera moves up. Hit the Checkpoint Flag and jump onto the first platform.
- 17Jump onto incoming floating platforms from the right and left, waiting for them to get closer.
- 18Jump onto a large waffle-like floating platform, then to a stable platform, then to another floating platform.
- 19Jump to a platform floating in from the left, hit the ? Block, then jump to one from the right. Continue jumping to quickly moving platforms from the left and then one above it.
- 20Star Coin Alert! #2: Jump to the stable pink platform left. Use a floating platform from the right as a stepping stone to the next pink platform. Jump down to the floating platform under the Star Coin to your right, grab it, then jump back to the pink platform.
- 21Jump from the pink platform to stable platforms above, then to a large one with two Flophoppers. Dodge them and jump to a floating platform when it gets close.
- 22Star Coin Alert! #3: (Incomplete in source text, but implies a Star Coin location).
Tips
- Use Statue Mario's Ground Pound to make the Switchboard move forward and avoid damage from Bullet Bills.
- Tail Spin or Ground Pound brick blocks to reveal items or make them easier to traverse.
- In Special 5-4, prioritize advancing over collecting minor items due to the screen's movement.
- Dodge enemies like Stingbys and Flophoppers rather than trying to defeat them if time is short.
- Collecting all red coins in the main section grants a reward (likely a 1-Up or power-up).
- The first Tanooki Bill from each turret drops a Statue Leaf.
- Reaching the top of the Goal Pole via the geyser grants a 1-Up.
- Star Coins are located in Special 5-4.
