Navigate World 2-Ghost in Super Mario Bros. 2. Learn how to get all three Star Coins and find the secret exit to World 2-B.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head right, hitting blocks for coins and a Leaf (a power-up that lets you throw vegetables). Go through the door to the next room.
  2. 2
    Walk right; a giant Boo will appear. The screen scrolls right, but stops/slows if you turn left. Continue right, collecting coins and avoiding smaller Boos.
  3. 3
    Spot Star Coin #1 on a high ledge. Jump to it from the right to obtain it.
  4. 4
    Continue ahead, jumping on hidden trampoline floors (platforms that bounce you high) to grab coins above.
  5. 5
    When you reach a block that sinks as you stand on it, turn left to stop the giant Boo and sink to the bottom.
  6. 6
    Go right through the lower passage to reach Star Coin #2. Jump through the thin ledges above to escape.
  7. 7
    SECRET EXIT: To the right of Star Coin #2, there is a gap between the two middle platforms. Drop to the ground level and jump upward to reveal a hidden beanstalk. Climb it and go through the door to reach the secret flagpole.
  8. 8
    This secret exit opens the path to the Item Toad House and World 2-B.
  9. 9
    Continue onward, jumping across rotating purple blocks and hidden trampoline platforms.
  10. 10
    Spot Star Coin #3 swinging back and forth above; grab it.
  11. 11
    Collect more coins and pass another rotating block, then go through the door at the end.
  12. 12
    Make your way down the stairs to the bottom level, ignoring all doors.
  13. 13
    At the bottom, go right and jump onto the block to sink it, revealing a hidden door. Go through it to return outside.
  14. 14
    Jump between groups of ghosts and continue to the flagpole ahead.
Tips
  • Ghosts will not chase you if you are facing them. Use this to your advantage when exploring.
  • Turn left to stop the giant Boo when you encounter a block that sinks as you stand on it.
  • The secret exit leads to the Item Toad House and World 2-B.

Reward: Access to the Item Toad House and World 2-B via the secret exit. Otherwise, completion of World 2-Ghost.
