Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After a scene with Luigi trapped, start by grabbing the first blue clock to your right. Drop to the bottom platform and skip the Prongo.
  2. 2
    Jump onto the first rotating cog, move clockwise, and jump to the next cog. Follow it anti-clockwise, jumping over the Firebar and grabbing a blue clock.
  3. 3
    Jump to the next platform, dodge the Prongo, and hit the Large ? Block for coins and a Statue Leaf.
  4. 4
    Star Coin #1: Jump onto the Large ? Block (use a running jump for height) and grab the Star Coin above. Drop back down.
  5. 5
    Jump onto the wooden platform and wait for it to rise. Grab the blue clock at the top and jump to the chain platform. Grab the next blue clock.
  6. 6
    Wait for the Podoboos to jump from the lava, run past them, and jump up the stairs.
  7. 7
    Dodge or stomp the two Hammer Bros. Continue on, grabbing a blue clock on the chain platform.
  8. 8
    Run past the Prongo and grab another blue clock in the far left corner of the platform.
  9. 9
    Star Coin #2: Stand where the last blue clock was and jump to hit an invisible block containing a Super Star. Grab it, jump onto the block, and then jump again to grab the Star Coin. Drop down and continue right.
  10. 10
    Jump past the Firebar and hit the brick blocks for coins. Move next to the Thwomp to make it move, then jump behind it as it retracts to grab a blue clock. Repeat this process with the next Thwomp for another blue clock.
  11. 11
    Star Coin #3: Jump up and wall jump between the two side walls to reach the Star Coin above. Continue wall jumping until you reach the platform at the top.
  12. 12
    Grab the blue coin here and run left for one more blue clock.
  13. 13
    Run back and look through the Binoculars (this stops the clock).
  14. 14
    Drop off the edge south of the Binoculars onto the path below.
  15. 15
    Run right, jump over the Prongo, grab the blue clock, and continue to the corner. Dry Bowser will appear and start firing blue fireballs.
  16. 16
    Run towards Dry Bowser, dodging his fireballs. As he jumps further along the bridge, run past him along the edge, dodging fireballs. Keep moving to avoid him landing on you.
  17. 17
    Jump onto the platform at the end, grab the green clock, and hit the black switch to make the bridge collapse, defeating Dry Bowser.
  18. 18
    Enter the castle, run past Luigi, and hit the Warp Box.
  19. 19
    On the roof, jump up the crates to the top one and take a running jump onto the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
