Complete walkthrough for World Castle-2: Switchblack Ruins in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Find all Green Stars and the Stamp with our guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path at the beginning of the stage until it bends. Get the power-up (Fire Flower) from the ?-Block.
  2. 2
    Enter the big room filled with Switch Panels. Step on them to turn them from blue to yellow to proceed.
  3. 3
    Continue through more hallways and another room with Switch Panels.
  4. 4
    In the circular room with unlit braziers, light all four to earn the first Green Star. A Fire Flower is needed for this.
  5. 5
    Proceed to the next hallway to find the Checkpoint Flag. Touch it and get a power-up from the ?-Block.
  6. 6
    Before entering the next room with Switch Panels, look for a small tunnel on the right side. Enter it to find the second Green Star.
  7. 7
    Enter the next Switch Panel room. It contains a Fire Piranha Plant on a moving platform in the middle.
  8. 8
    When you reach the bridge over lava, take the platform to the right. Jump off on the right side to find the Stamp.
  9. 9
    In the final room, you will find Switch Panels in the four corners, with enemies and moving platforms in the middle. If you have a Fire Flower, clear the room of enemies first to make activating the panels easier.
  10. 10
    Once the panels are activated, a door will open leading to a green pipe. Do not take it immediately.
  11. 11
    Behind the green pipe, along the wall, find a hidden ?-Block. Hit it.
  12. 12
    Perform a Ground Pound jump from the hidden ?-Block to the alcove above it to find the third Green Star.
  13. 13
    Now, go through the green pipe to reach the Goal Pole area.
Tips
  • A Fire Flower allows you to see where your fireballs are heading in the dark, making navigation and combat easier.
  • In the final room, clearing enemies with a Fire Flower before activating the Switch Panels simplifies the process.
