Complete walkthrough for Valley of Bowser 2 in Super Mario World, including finding the secret exit and all Dragon Coins.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head right across yellow rocks, minding bats from above, until you reach a ? block. If possible, grab a Koopa shell to use against an invincible shell from the top right. Otherwise, jump on the ? block and continue.
  2. 2
    Keep going across yellow rocks to a ! block containing a mushroom.
  3. 3
    Above the yellow block to the left is a Dragon Coin. To the right on a higher ledge is the midway checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).
  4. 4
    From the checkpoint, enter the pipe. The block ahead contains Yoshi wings, leading to a Yoshi bonus area.
  5. 5
    Do not go right yet; go left up the ledges. At the far left of the top ledge, jump to hit a hidden block containing either a mushroom or a cape feather.
  6. 6
    Now go right to the yellow rock. Enter the passage at the bottom. As it rises, go as right as you can until you stop at the top.
  7. 7
    When it falls, stay put to collect coins in the part below. As it rises again, go right through the passage above to the small opening at the top.
  8. 8
    When it falls, go right and down to get a Dragon Coin.
  9. 9
    When it rises again, go as far right as possible in this area (do not go down the passage yet). When it falls, go down the passage to the pit halfway across.
  10. 10
    As it rises, go right, up, then left to get a Dragon Coin.
  11. 11
    Go right a little so when it drops you land straight down on the ground, and stay there when it rises.
  12. 12
    Go right at the top. As it drops again, go down the passage to the pit halfway.
  13. 13
    When it rises, go right to the alcove at the top and collect coins at the bottom during the drop.
  14. 14
    On the rise, go as fast as you can to the second alcove to the right.
  15. 15
    When it drops, go right to be on the ground, and go right QUICKLY until the pipe is in sight.
  16. 16
    Go up the vertical passage next to the pipe, then right, and enter the pipe as it goes downward.
  17. 17
    As soon as you start the next section, go right as quick as you can up the ledges to avoid the rising yellow rock.
  18. 18
    Note that when you exit the passage, the yellow rock sticks out. This is used for the secret exit: jump on that, then up above the screen and left.
  19. 19
    Use moles for the next two pits to get across them, and race across another yellow rock after.
  20. 20
    If you have activated the blue switch palace, you are safe in the next pit. Otherwise, jump across to the passage opposite or wait for the giant mole to drop down.
  21. 21
    Now go right to the exit.

Secret Exit:

  1. When you reach the level's third area, head right when you appear to avoid the rising yellow rock.
  2. When you exit the passage, some yellow rock sticks out. Jump on this, then up above the screen and left to a secret area.
  3. Here you will find the key and keyhole.
Tips
  • Be mindful of bats from above when crossing the initial yellow rocks.
  • The hidden block containing a power-up is located on the top ledge to the far left, after entering the first pipe from the midway checkpoint.
  • When navigating the rising and falling platforms, pay close attention to when to move right and when to stay put to collect coins or reach specific areas.
  • For the secret exit, the protruding yellow rock after exiting a passage is crucial for reaching the higher area.
  • If the blue switch palace has not been activated, be cautious when crossing the pit before the final stretch, either by jumping across or waiting for the giant mole.
