Complete Super Mario Land Part 44 and World 7-2 walkthrough, including all Star Coin locations and strategies for Piranha Plants and Spike Eels.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the underwater section, swim left into the tunnel. Wait for the Spike Eel to move left, then swim up to grab the Star Coin. If the Spike Eel moves back, wait for it or the eel above to move left before proceeding. Press 'A' to stay relatively still.
  2. 2
    Follow the tunnel upwards. When the Spike Eel at the top moves left, enter its tunnel to find a Green Clock near the opening. Grab it and exit.
  3. 3
    Continue upwards to find a tunnel in the back wall containing the final Star Coin and another Spike Eel. A current pulls you into the tunnel, but you can exit. Enter the tunnel, grab the Star Coin, and quickly exit before the Spike Eel catches you. If the Spike Eel reaches you before you get the coin, swim out, wait for it to recede, follow it in, collect the coin, and swim back out.
  4. 4
    Exit the water. Hit the crate for a Fire Flower. Stomp or fireball the Piranha Plant in the first Warp Pipe and enter it.
  5. 5
    Outside, a second Piranha Plant is in the middle Warp Pipe. Jump and stomp (or fireball) it when it tries to bite, then jump to the middle Warp Pipe. Entering this pipe or the highest one will shoot you out of the right one.
  6. 6
    Jump to the second Warp Pipe, stomping the Piranha Plant when it bites to make it easier to reach. Hit the invisible block above the second Warp Pipe for a 1-Up.
  7. 7
    Jump to the last Warp Pipe, then take a running jump onto the top of the Goal Pole for a Course Clear.
  8. 8
    In World 7-2, jump past the four Pole 'n' Chains, dodging them. Lure the Chain Chomp out, run underneath its anchor, and hit the ? Block for five coins. Be careful not to touch the coins. Run down one side of the Pole 'n' Chains as they move away.
  9. 9
    Lure the next Chain Chomp out. Hit the ! Block above it three times before the Chain Chomp returns. If you don't hit it three times, move away, lure it out again, and continue hitting the ! Block. Quickly run up the Platform Blocks that appear to grab the Star Coin at the top and jump back down.
  10. 10
    Continue running, jumping over Pole 'n' Chains, and grab the 1-Up. Go up the stairs and through the door.
  11. 11
    Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag. When jumping on the blue and red panels with Spiked Poles, they act like seesaws. Move onto the panels.
  12. 12
    Run along the first two panels on the blue side. Jump onto the red side of the third panel, jumping over the Spiked Pole. Move to the next panel, jump over the Spiked Pole, then onto the red side of the next panel and onto the Donut Blocks containing the Star Coin. Grab it and jump back onto the panels before the Donut Blocks fall. Continue across the panels, moving side to side and over Spiked Poles.
  13. 13
    Move up the steps, dodge Chain Chomps, and hit the ? Block for a Fire Flower.
  14. 14
    Move onto the platform with the swinging Pole 'n' Chain. Jump over it as it moves underneath you until the spikes disappear, then jump onto the spikeboard. Jump up to grab the Star Coin above the spikeboard.
  15. 15
    Jump off the spikeboards before the spikes reappear. Jump onto the platform with the Pole 'n' Chain swinging towards and away from you. Jump onto it when it moves away to give yourself time to jump over it when it returns.
Tips
  • Press 'A' frequently to maintain your position in the water when avoiding Spike Eels.
  • The current pulling you into the final Star Coin tunnel in Part 44 is not strong enough to prevent you from exiting.
  • When facing Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes, time your jumps to stomp or fireball them when they attempt to bite.
  • The panels with Spiked Poles in World 7-2 act like seesaws; use their movement to your advantage.
  • Be quick when collecting Star Coins from Platform Blocks or Donut Blocks, as they will disappear.
