Tips
  • Collect the Dragon Coin on the second moving platform by waiting on it.
  • Duck under enemies on moving platforms to hit power-up blocks.
  • The green '!' block provides a Cape Feather.
  • The star block awards a 1-Up Green Mushroom with 30+ coins.

To - 'Chocolate Fortress'

At the star block and the yellow block (containing the vine to the bad exit), ensure Mario is caped. Run from the left of the ledge to the right, and jump under or after the exit above to fly right, avoiding the blue Koopa. Continue flying low right until you reach a ledge with three blocks and another exit. Raid the blocks for three 1-Up mushrooms, then enter the exit to progress in the game.

To - 'Chocolate Island 3' (Looping Exit)

To unlock this path back to this level (which creates a circle on the map back to here), hit the yellow block next to the star block to reveal a vine. Climb the vine, cross the moving platform, and enter the exit. If you haven't already, replay the level and unlock the better and proper route onward that's above.
