Recommended Character: Toad or Mario. This stage is a series of vertical shafts and icy platforms. Toad's quick pulling can be useful for clearing enemies from tight spaces. You'll encounter more Ice Snifits and Ninjis. There are often hidden passages behind waterfalls or in seemingly solid walls, so experiment with throwing Potions or pulling up suspicious blocks. One notable secret is a 1-Up Mushroom hidden in a specific vertical shaft. The stage requires careful upward progression, often involving jumping between small, slippery platforms. Be patient and precise with your movements to avoid falling to the bottom.
