Recommended Character: Toad or Mario. This stage is a vertical climb through a series of platforms and enemies. Toad's quick pulling can be useful for clearing enemies from tight spaces. You'll encounter more Ninjis and Snifits. There are often hidden passages or items accessible by throwing a Potion in specific locations. One notable secret is a 1-Up Mushroom hidden in a less obvious area. The stage requires careful upward progression, often involving jumping between small, sometimes disappearing, platforms. Be patient and precise with your movements to avoid falling to the bottom. The challenge here is more about endurance and consistent platforming.
