World 2-5: Double Cherry Pass

At the start of the stage, collect the Double Cherry power-up. This creates a clone of your character that mimics your movements. You can have up to five clones at once; if you get hit, a clone disappears.

Proceed past the Galoombas. There's an invisible ?-Block in the left corner of this area containing a power-up.

Break the boxes on the left side of the pipe to find another Double Cherry. Break the boxes on the right to find Green Star #1. The bottom block here contains another power-up if needed.

Enter the nearby pipe to drop into the next area. You'll encounter Blocksteppers, which march back and forth on a set path.

Past the Blocksteppers are two sets of panels. You need to split your clones to step on both panels simultaneously to reveal Green Star #2.

To the left of the clear pipes ahead, an invisible block contains a Double Cherry. If you haven't been hit, you should now have three clones plus yourself.

Enter the right clear pipe to reach the Checkpoint Flag.

The next area has slopes and more Blocksteppers, one of which carries a Double Cherry.

In the left corner of this area, find ?-Blocks. One contains a Double Cherry. You need one clone on top of the blocks and another below them. The left ?-Block will produce more blocks to help raise a clone.

Use the blocks and a clone to reach the Stamp at the top.

Beyond the ramps, you'll find a smaller set of ramps with a Fire Bros. Defeat the Fire Bros to make a green pipe appear. Enter the pipe to reach the final area.

In the final area, you'll find a Multi-Vator with the number "4" on it. You need four characters (your main character plus three clones) to stand on it. If you have enough clones, have them all stand on the Multi-Vator to rise up and collect Green Star #3.

From there, proceed to the Goal Pole to finish the stage.
