Complete walkthrough for Special 4-2 in Super Mario Land. Learn how to navigate the Cosmic Clone, collect all Star Coins, and find hidden secrets.
Walkthrough
- 1Run forward, around the first Boo, and onto appearing platforms. Grab coins and hit the P-Switch.
- 2Follow the Donut Blocks to appearing platforms. Jump onto them, grab the coin, and enter the Warp Box.
- 3After warping, run forward, grabbing coins to reveal platforms.
- 4Star Coin #1: From the platform where you grabbed the second coin, jump towards the Star Coin. Use a running jump off the edge to land on a platform near Peepas. Avoid the Cosmic Clone and Peepas.
- 5Grab coins near the Peepas, then continue north. Take the south-west path around the Boo. Platforms will appear, completing a circle. The left brick block has coins, the right has one. Avoid hitting them more than once.
- 6Continue north-east towards a Donut Block. Jump onto it, then onto the appearing platform underneath Star Coin #2.
- 7Star Coin #2: Follow the Star Coin. Grab it before it moves under the ? Blocks, or jump to grab it where it stops. Five Boos, including a Tanooki Boo, will appear.
- 8Run to the north-west corner coin to make two more Boos appear. Return to the ? Blocks in the center and hit the middle one. Dodge the seven Boos and the Cosmic Clone. The middle ? Block contains a Super Star. Grab it to become invincible and defeat all Boos and the Cosmic Clone for four 1-Ups. You'll get a Statue Leaf from the Tanooki Boo.
- 9Hit the other four ? Blocks for one coin each. Collect the coin at the south-west corner (platform leads nowhere). Collect the coin at the south-east corner (platform has a single coin).
- 10Collect the coin at the north-east corner and hop onto the platform. Move to the north-east edge, then jump around the Boo and onto the next platform. Repeat this process to reach the Warp Box.
- 11After warping, move along the edges of platforms. Follow these directions: North-west, North-east, North-east, South-east, South-east.
- 12Star Coin #3: Move north-east and jump over the gap to the next platform. Jump towards the Star Coin, then wall jump off the wall behind it to return safely. Wall jump over the Cosmic Clone. Move back south-west.
- 13From here, move: South-east, South-west, South-east, South-west, South-east (along the platform until it appears).
- 14Run onto the yellow platforms. At the second yellow platform, they will start moving south-west/north-east. Keep moving.
Tips
- The Cosmic Clone mimics your movements with a delay. Be aware of its position to avoid collisions.
- Don't double back on your path unless you know where the Cosmic Clone will be.
- When hitting brick blocks, hit them only once to prevent the Cosmic Clone from catching up.
- The Super Star in the ? Block is crucial for defeating multiple enemies and the Cosmic Clone for extra lives.
- The platforming sections after warping require careful movement along platform edges.
