Tips
- The Roulette Block's item doesn't matter much as all are useful.
- Be quick throughout this area as the screen moves constantly.
- When Boom Boom is in his shell and bouncing off walls, you can stomp the top of his shell, but it does no damage.
- To get the final 1-Up, run and jump onto the very edge of the Goal Pole.
