Navigate World 1-3 in Super Mario Bros. 2, find Star Coin #1 atop a tree, and discover secrets.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, slide down the hill to defeat the two Goombas.
  2. 2
    Hit the blocks ahead to get a Leaf to become Raccoon Mario (provided you are already big).
  3. 3
    Continue along and get another Leaf from a lone block.
  4. 4
    Be careful of the moving green blocks below so you don't get sucked into a pit.
  5. 5
    When you reach the wide flat segment with a Koopa Troopa and Goomba, defeat them.
  6. 6
    As Raccoon Mario, get a running start and fill the meter, then fly along the line of coins to reach a perch high atop a tree. Grab Star Coin # 1 there.
  7. 7
    Drop down to the right to reach the ground and proceed to the checkpoint (a designated point in the level that saves your progress).
  8. 8
    Ahead, you will see another tree with an endless stream of Goombas falling from a pipe overhead.
  9. 9
    Get a running start and fly above that tree to find a pipe. Go down it and you will be launched into the sky.
  10. 10
    Up in the clouds, fly to the right and grab Star Coin #2 before falling back to the main area.
  11. 11
    Grab the coins when you land and drop down to the area directly below.
  12. 12
    Use your raccoon tail or a Koopa Troopa shell to break the bricks to the left of Star Coin #3 in the alcove below, then collect the star coin.
  13. 13
    Jump out and continue to the right, grabbing some last minute coins as you head up the hill.
  14. 14
    At the top, run and jump to the flagpole to exit the level.
Tips
  • If you are not already big, hitting the first set of blocks will give you a Super Mushroom.
  • The meter you fill as Raccoon Mario is the P-meter, which allows you to fly when full.
  • The alcove containing Star Coin #3 is below the main path.
