Navigate World 1-6 and Larry's Castle in Super Mario Bros., collecting Star Coins and defeating Larry Koopa.
Walkthrough
- 1In World 1-5, use a remote to manipulate platforms, then spin jump to a red coin ring and the midway flag.
- 2Collect coins and spin jump for coin outlines that reveal normal coins.
- 3Ride a brick around for a red coin ring, then jump past koopas to a spinning red block and spin jump for the third Star Coin above.
- 4Pass a large green block to reach the goal.
- 5In World 1-6, watch for koopas on spinning ground and grab coins. Take a Fire Flower if desired.
- 6Jump past more koopas and carefully bounce off a mid-air koopa paratroopa to reach the first Star Coin above. (Alternatively, use Propeller Mario or multiplayer.)
- 7Hit the middle brick of a trio for a beanstalk, then climb up for an item choice box.
- 8Go down the other pipe and bounce off a koopa to reach the second Star Coin.
- 9Beware of piranhas on moving ground before the midway flag.
- 10Watch for koopas and goombas on the next spinning ground. Take a Fire Flower from the middle item box.
- 11Ride the ground left to jump to a small ledge under the midway flag, walk through the wall, and go down a pipe.
- 12Watch for falling goombas and jump right to the third Star Coin. Go back up the left pipe.
- 13Watch for falling goombas from a pipe ahead. Reveal a P Switch for blue coins.
- 14Optionally, try to hit a block from below for a 1up Mushroom (tricky). Continue right across moving ground wheels to the goal.
- 15In World 1 - Larry's Castle, ride the first gear for coins and an Ice Flower, and encounter a dry bones.
- 16Jump past another gear and hide in the gaps of the gear above to avoid being squished.
- 17Ride the gear up to a ledge with off-screen coins. Drop onto a smaller gear and jump for the first Star Coin.
- 18Hide in gear gaps, grab another Ice Flower, and encounter a dry bones. Continue past gears to the midway flag.
- 19Go left of the midway flag and ride the top gear up to a hidden room with two 1up Mushrooms, coins, and a Propeller Mushroom.
- 20Grab another Ice Flower from the right item box under the first thwomp. Take coins from hidden item boxes under the second thwomp.
- 21Lure the third thwomp to proceed, then bait the giant thwomp into crushing blocks below. Run into the small alcove with the second Star Coin once it moves back up.
- 22Bait the next pair of giant thwomps into smashing blocks. Take the high road for a hidden 1up Mushroom between coins, and the low path for more coins.
- 23Run under a series of thwomps, hit a red coin ring, and collect red coins. Jump carefully to the next ledge to dodge another thwomp.
- 24Dodge a big thwomp and proceed past dry bones and gears. Get in the gaps of a big gear to avoid being crushed.
- 25Ride a gear tooth down to a green pipe and enter it.
- 26Hit the P Switch on the ceiling and quickly do a running jump to bricks. Do another running jump to a wall, then wall-jump left to the third Star Coin. Jump back across the bricks before they turn back into coins and enter the yellow pipe.
- 27Hit the hidden block between coins for a Fire Flower. Enter the doors and go right to meet Larry.
- 28In World 1 Boss - Larry Koopa 2, Larry jumps once or twice, then fires a magic shot. He fires two magic shots after being injured twice. The ground moves constantly.
- 29Jump on Larry three times, or hit him with three sets of about six fireballs. Stay on the high ground to dodge attacks and land your own.
- 30After the fight, grab the first key to end World 1.
