Walkthrough
- 1Start by jumping onto the rotating rainbow platforms, avoiding Skipsqueaks, Spiny Skipqueaks, and Ring Burners.
- 2On the second rotating platform, hit the ?-Block to get a Super Bell.
- 3Continue across more rolling rainbow platforms, noting the Blocks above one of them.
- 4Climb the wall to find clock pickups and a green pipe. Enter the pipe.
- 5In the puzzle room, guide two balls to activate switches using Flip Panels. For the left ball, activate a red panel first, then both balls in the bottom right. For the right ball, activate a blue panel above, then a red panel in the bottom left. This rewards Green Star #1.
- 6Exit the pipe and proceed to a Warp Box that leads to the Checkpoint Flag and Plessie.
- 7Ride Plessie. The Stamp is located on the right side, between some coin rings.

- 9To the left of the door, perform a Ground Pound on the ground to find a hidden ?-Block containing a Fire Flower.

- 11Enter the cloud cannon to reach a bonus area. Light all the tiles on the floor to reveal a hero and earn Green Star #2.
- 12Exit the bonus area. A Green Star Ring will appear on the next rainbow platform.
- 13Collect all the coins from the Green Star Ring while avoiding Ring Burners and Skipsqueaks. This rewards Green Star #3.
- 14The final section features more rotating platforms, Skipsqueaks, and trapezes. Be careful not to fall into the pit.
- 15Take the Warp Box at the end to reach the Goal Pole area. The P-Switches here only spawn coins.
