Find all Star Coins and navigate Bowser's attacks in Super Mario Land Part 36. Learn how to defeat Bowser and collect all items.
Walkthrough
- 1From the right-most brick block, jump onto the first Thwomp after it slams down. Wait for it to move up, then quickly run to the right edge and jump onto the next Thwomp. Collect the Star Coin, wait for the Thwomp to move up, and just before it slams, jump to the next one to collect coins. Drop down to the other side.
- 2Stomp the Draglet, dodging its fireballs. Move to the right edge of the platform and wait for the southernmost chain platform to become level with your current platform. Jump onto it and grab the Star Coin. Ride this platform north.
- 3Move through the red ring when it approaches. As you pass the Baddie Box, a Dry Bones will spawn; move to the left side of your platform. Stomp the Dry Bones, collect coins, and jump onto the next platform when close enough. Collect the last two red coins and the 1-Up that appears.
- 4Jump over the gap, avoiding the alternating Podoboos. Jump after the first one falls. Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag.
- 5Look through the Binoculars to see two Toads in the castle. Stop looking and move left. Jump onto the platform that appears from the lava. Move next to the first Thwomp and let it slam the ground. Run underneath it when it moves up, stopping before the next Thwomp and moving right to correct your position. When the next Thwomp moves up after slamming, move left. You can wall jump off the right side of the left Thwomp onto the right one for coins, but it is not essential.
- 6At the end of the line of platforms, move to the left side. Let the platform sink into the lava, then jump up to grab the third Star Coin. Jump directly onto the platform to your north.
- 7Jump over the gap, stomp the Draglet, and move north to the Hammer Bro. Dodge the first hammer, then run up and stomp him before he throws the second. Jump onto the platform that drops to your north. Jump to the next platform north when possible. Collect the four coins and jump to the south-east platform. Hit the brick block in the middle multiple times for coins, then jump to the platform north of you. Let this platform rise, then jump onto the platform to your right, easily clearing the Podoboos.
- 8As soon as you land, Bowser appears. On the platforms moving south, the right of the bottom two brick blocks contains a 1-Up. The northern-most block on the left contains a single coin.
- 9Run north along the platforms, jumping gaps and changing sides to avoid Bowser's fireballs. If forced to move on the side Bowser is attacking, be aware but there is enough room to avoid damage. Reach the end and jump onto the platform to your left.
- 10Follow the path around until running north. Bowser has a Tanooki Tail. Wait for Bowser to move if he is in your way, then time your jump over the gap for just after the Podoboo you are jumping over begins to fall.
- 11Pillars Bowser breaks will drop a coin. Continue right, being cautious of Bowser. You may need to jump over a small gap on the south side to reach the wooden bridge. Wait for Bowser to jump, then run underneath him while he hovers. Be patient.
- 12On the wooden bridge, run across and jump to the north platform. If Bowser jumps onto your platform, move to the left side, wait for him to land, then run past him along the south edge, jumping to the next platform. Watch out for Bowser's tail.
- 13Jump to the next platform.
Tips
- When collecting the first Star Coin, time your jumps carefully to avoid falling into the lava.
- For the second Star Coin, ensure you jump onto the chain platform when it is nearly level with your starting platform.
- When facing Bowser, prioritize dodging his attacks and use the moving platforms to your advantage.
- The 1-Up in the brick block near Bowser is risky but can be obtained with careful timing.
