Guide to World 4-1: Ant Trooper Hill in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Learn how to defeat Ant Troopers, find the Stamp, and collect all three Green Stars.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the beginning of the level, ignore the block on the higher ledge unless you need coins.
  2. 2
    Break the ?-Block at the back wall for a power-up (Super Bell if big), then climb the wall.
  3. 3
    The path ahead has Ant Troopers and Horned Ant Troopers (with spiked helmets, cannot be defeated by jumping on their heads).
  4. 4
    Enter the cave filled with Ant Troopers. Midway through, ascend to the top of a ledge with many Ant Troopers to find the Stamp.
  5. 5
    Exit the cave and climb the wall at the end of the path instead of crossing the bridge to find Green Star #1.
  6. 6
    Go back to the purple blocks at the cave's exit and find an invisible ?-Block in the middle containing a Super Star.
  7. 7
    Cross the bridge, defeating Horned Ant Troopers.
  8. 8
    Ahead, you will find Big Ant Troopers, which are invincible and must be ridden over spikes.
  9. 9
    As you ride the Big Ant Troopers, jump onto a ledge and enter the green pipe to find Green Star #2.
  10. 10
    Jump up Ant Troopers or climb the wall inside the pipe to reach Green Star #2, then exit.
  11. 11
    Continue riding Big Ant Troopers over spikes. Jump to collect Green Star #3 as you reach the end of the trail.
  12. 12
    A lower ledge with coins is available, but only go there if needed.
  13. 13
    The ledge at the top leads to a green pipe that takes you to the Goal Pole.
Tips
  • Ant Troopers follow a set pattern and can be defeated with power-ups or Ground Pounds. Infinite Ant Troopers emerge from holes.
  • Horned Ant Troopers have spiked helmets, so avoid jumping on their heads. They are still vulnerable to power-ups.
  • Big Ant Troopers are invincible and are used to cross spike pits.
