Discover the secret exit in Super Mario World's Donut Secret House level. Learn how to find the Star Road warp with this detailed walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by moving right, up the stairs, and dropping down to the next level when there's a gap in the circle of ghosts.
  2. 2
    Drop down again and go right when a gap appears. Duck to avoid a ghost, then head right to find a P-Switch and a Big Boo.
  3. 3
    Activate the P-Switch, grab the dropped springboard, and place it by the Big Boo to propel yourself over him.
  4. 4
    Head right and enter the door.
  5. 5
    Once inside, head left, hit the block for a powerup, and proceed.
  6. 6
    Jump or go under the next Boo, and pass through the circle of ghosts when a gap is present.
  7. 7
    Hitting the block here yields coins. Continue left.
  8. 8
    Collect the coins forming a door frame shape, then go over the yellow blocks to the left.
  9. 9
    Hit the information box to learn about Star World. Go past the two Boos to the end, but do not enter the door as it leads back.
  10. 10
    Grab the P-Switch from above and return right to the yellow blocks.
  11. 11
    Activate the P-Switch and enter the blue door that appears on the ledge next to the yellow blocks. This is the normal exit, leading to Donut Secret 2.

Secret Exit:

  1. Play the level until you reach the P-Switch and the yellow blocks.
  2. Grab the P-Switch and head back right, then activate it by the yellow blocks.
  3. Stand where the normal door is (on the ? blocks that have just formed) and hit the middle block above to make a vine appear.
  4. Scale the vine and go right through the secret door. Ensure you do this before the P-Switch effect wears off.
  5. You will reach a mini-boss, Big Boo. To defeat him, grab a block from below and throw it upwards at him.
  6. After being hit, Big Boo will turn transparent. Keep facing the Boos to avoid their attacks.
  7. Position yourself underneath Big Boo so you can attack him again when he reappears.
  8. After three hits, you will defeat Big Boo and unlock the warp to Star Road 1.
