Complete World 2-4 in Super Mario Bros. 2, finding all three Star Coins and the Fire Flower. Includes tips for the Pokey and flagpole.
Walkthrough
- 1From the start, go right. You can hit the random ability block if you wish. Use a Koopa Troopa shell to break the single brick in the right wall. Run and crouch under the broken brick. Hit the block inside to obtain a Star.
- 2Continue upward and slide under another low wall to collect Star Coin #1. If you acquired the Star, hitting some blocks ahead while invincible may yield additional Stars.
- 3Make your way upward and to the right along the ledges. Activate the checkpoint (a save point).
- 4Hit the block to the right, above you, to get a Fire Flower. If you have a Leaf power-up, avoid this block.
- 5Keep going right until you see a yellow pipe in the ground. Go down this pipe.
- 6Activate the gold ring to collect extra coins from the endless supply of Goombas below.
- 7Destroy the single brick in the ground (it is recommended to have a Leaf power-up for this). Walk through the opening and drop onto a block below.
- 8This block will sink into a hidden room where you can find more coins and Star Coin #2. Exit this hidden room via the right pipe.
- 9Once you emerge, hop your way upward to the top of the pyramid structure. Hit the blocks there to get another Fire Flower if desired.
- 10Go right. You will see a trail of coins within a gap. Avoid these coins for now and continue to the far right.
- 11Drop into a hidden alcove where Star Coin #3 can be found.
- 12Follow the long trail of coins downward to a pipe far below. Go through this pipe.
- 13Defeat the Pokey (an enemy made of stacked segments) to get a clear running jump to the flagpole, completing the stage.
Tips
- If you have the Star power-up, use its invincibility to break blocks and collect additional Stars.
- Having the Leaf power-up is beneficial for breaking the brick in the ground to access Star Coin #2.
- Avoid the coins in the gap before Star Coin #3; they are a distraction.
