Part 31

In Part 31, collect the red coins. Hide in the south-south-west corner until only one coin remains, then grab it and the appearing 1-Up.

You should see Star Coin #3 on your right as you move upwards. Time your boomerang throw to hit it. If you miss, you can use Tanooki Mario (if you have the White Tanooki Suit) to hover back to the platform after jumping to grab it.

Defeat the two Sandmaarghs that appear in the north-west and north-east parts of the platform.

To avoid Spiked Balls, stay in the first corner to the right of the southern edge of the platform until it reaches the top. Let the Spiked Balls and Giant Spiked Balls knock into each other. Collect coins from crushed Spiked Balls if available.

As you move north near the steps, four Pokies will spawn. Dodge them or defeat them if you are Boomerang Mario.

At the top of the steps, enter the cannon. Aim at the center of the yellow ring and fire to reach the Goal Pole.

In World 5-2, move right and hit the Large ? Block and normal block for coins. Continue through the door on your right.

Jump over the gap with two Spinies. You can throw a Boomerang or shoot a fireball at them, but it's not necessary. Continue through the next door.

Fall into the pit, jump over the Spiked Poles, and exit the pit. Be careful of the Spiny on the platform; throw a Boomerang or run past it. Jump into the next pit.

Move through the next pit, dodging Spiked Poles. Exit the room to your right.

Jump onto the platform, dodging Spikebars.

Star Coin Alert! #1 (World 5-2): In this room, jump south where the southern path should be to find a hidden path and the Star Coin. Dodge the Spikebar when jumping back down and take the eastern path.

Star Coin Alert! #2 (World 5-2): In the next room, hit the ? Block. If you have Fire Mario, shoot fireballs into the braziers in each corner to light them. Once lit, the portcullis on your right will lift. Walk through, grab the Green Clock, break crates for coins, and grab the Star Coin. Run left back to the room with three paths and take the northern path this time.

Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag. Jump down the large ditch with coins, collecting them as you fall and jump from the rubber platform. Jump back out.

Continue around the hole, taking the path to your right, collecting coins. Deal with the Spiny if you wish.

Move north and deal with the second Spiny. Lure it to the other Spiny if it's chasing you before continuing.
