World Flower-9: Towering Sunshine Seaside

Master World Flower-9: Towering Sunshine Seaside in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury! Find all Green Stars and reach the Goal Pole with this expert walkthrough.

Alright, let's tackle World Flower-9, the Towering Sunshine Seaside! This level has a 100-second time limit, which sounds a bit tight, but trust me, once you know the route, it's totally manageable. Plus, there are plenty of clock pickups if you need a little extra time.

Since this level is pretty open, you can grab the Green Stars in any order, but I'll guide you through the most efficient way. Start by dashing all the way to the left until you reach a small pit with some Koopa shells. Right near there, you'll see some ?-Blocks. Hit the leftmost one to snag a Fire Flower – super handy!

Now, head over to the dock. You'll see four unlit braziers. Quickly light all of them up to reveal Green Star #1. While you're at the dock, you'll also want to take care of the Goomba Tower and the Fire Bro chilling on top of it.

Over to the left of the dock, you'll find some ?-Blocks that are actually Cannon Boxes. Grab one – it'll make the rest of the level a breeze. Keep heading right, and you'll spot a clear pipe. Hop into it, and you'll be whisked away to a cloud platform where Green Star #2 is waiting for you.

Continue your journey to the right. You'll encounter more Goomba Towers in the water, so take them all out, along with any Fire Bros you find. After you've dealt with the triple towers in this area, a Warp Box will appear in the water. But before you use it, make your way to the far right end of the level. There, you'll find Green Star #3 perched on top of one last Goomba Tower.

Once you've got that final star, hop into the Warp Box you spawned. It's a pretty straightforward jump from there to the top of the Goal Pole. You've got this!
