  8. 8
    Jump onto the blocks, eat the pink berry at the top, and hit the blocks for coins.
  9. 9
    Jump over the gap, hit the bottom block to make a shell hit the block above, causing a springboard to fall.
  10. 10
    Place the springboard next to the tall pipe to the right and use it to get over.

  19. 19
    Hit a Goomba and throw it into the Charging Chuck.

    Head onto the green pipe via the blocks. The exits split here.

To - 'Forest Ghost House'

  1. Drop down off the pipe.
  2. Get the fifth Yoshi Coin.
  3. Go right over the yellow pipe to finish. This exits you to the 'Forest Ghost House'.

To - '#5 Roy's Castle'

  1. Enter the green pipe to reach a small cave area.
  2. Smash the yellow blocks with a spin jump (requires any Mario form other than Small Mario).
  3. Grab the Key and place it into the Keyhole.
  4. This unlocks a path to '#5 Roy's Castle', which is the proper way to continue the game.
Tips
  • Yoshi can make collecting items and dealing with enemies easier.
  • The spin jump is necessary to break the yellow blocks to access the Key and Keyhole for #5 Roy's Castle.
