Complete walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land's World 6-Airship, including all Star Coin locations and the Pom Pom boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Past the first Spiked Stake, hit the ? Block multiple times.
  2. 2
    Dodge the Bob-Ombs thrown by the Rocky Wrench and stomp it.
  3. 3
    Star Coin Alert! #1: Jump behind the crates to find the first Star Coin. The crates contain nothing.
  4. 4
    Pass the quickly moving Spiked Stakes. The middle of three brick blocks contains a Tanooki Leaf.
  5. 5
    Star Coin Alert! #2: Hit the middle of three Directional Blocks three times to reach it. You may need to jump on adjacent blocks first. This must be done quickly to avoid the screen moving past.
  6. 6
    If you are Tanooki Mario, hover over the next Spiked Stake. Otherwise, use the rubber platform that appears when the Spiked Stake retreats.
  7. 7
    Dodge Bob-Ombs from another Rocky Wrench and stomp it.
  8. 8
    Use a rubber platform to jump up to the next level, ignoring the coin in the wall crevice.
  9. 9
    Carefully time your jump past the Spiked Stake above your head to reach the platform to your upper left.
  10. 10
    Star Coin Alert! #3: Wall jump off the left wall to grab the Star Coin above you. Fall back to the same platform.
  11. 11
    Jump right over gaps until you reach the Warp Pipe. Enter it.
  12. 12
    Boss Battle: Pom Pom: The room has seven platforms separated by flames. Dodge Pom Pom's boomerang shots and stomp her three times. When she is in her shell, keep running and do not double back.
  13. 13
    After defeating Pom Pom, collect the dropped coins and enter the Warp Pipe.
  14. 14
    Exit the Warp Pipe and follow coins to the top step. Jump onto the Warp Pipe to collect a 1-Up. You can collect a coin from an invisible block above the wood jutting from the left side of the ship.
Tips
  • Using the Tanooki Suit's hover ability can make navigating Spiked Stakes easier.
  • Be aware of the screen's movement, especially when attempting to collect Star Coin #2.
  • For Star Coin #3, time your wall jump carefully after the Spiked Stake recedes.
  • When fighting Pom Pom, predict her movements and avoid getting cornered.
