Navigate Super Mario Bros. 2's World 2-Tower, defeat giant Dry Bones, and find all three Star Coins with this guide.
Walkthrough
- 1Encounter a giant Dry Bones; ground pound (slam down from a jump) it to stun it.
- 2Hit the right block to obtain a Leaf (which allows you to fly briefly).
- 3Jump upward, navigating platforms that move back and forth.
- 4Ride the center block upward, then stand on the block to the left and crouch.
- 5When the platform retracts, pass through the low wall to collect Star Coin #1.
- 6Crouch and ride the platform back out, continuing through the stage past more big and small Dry Bones, and regular mushroom enemies above.
- 7Collect coins while passing rows of alternately moving blocks until you reach the Checkpoint (a flag that saves your progress).
- 8Quickly jump up several moving platforms to the right, avoiding spiked blocks that descend.
- 9Enter a door in an alcove to the left, where coin outlines indicate a hidden area.
- 10Drop into the alcove and attempt to jump out along the left wall to reveal a hidden 1-Up (an extra life).
- 11Enter the room, grab the coins, and ride blocks to the upper half.
- 12Ignore the door for now; ride the center block upward, then another to the left to reach Star Coin #2 high in the air.
- 13Exit the room via the door.
- 14Jump upward between moving blocks, hitting longer blocks for three coins each.
- 15Crumble the Dry Bones and hop up thin ledges on the left side to reach the top area.
- 16Wait for giant blocks to move downward completely before wall jumping between the blocks and the left wall to reach a hidden area above.
- 17Wait for the blocks to descend again, then run across to grab Star Coin #3.
- 18Drop down and enter the mini-boss door.
- 19Defeat the four Reznors by hitting the blocks beneath each one as they rotate.
