Complete walkthrough for Super Mario 3D Land Special 4-3, including Star Coin locations and how to get the Boomerang Flower.
Walkthrough
- 1Run right and drop to the wooden bridge. Wait for the Flophopper to flip, revealing its vulnerable yellow side, then stomp it.
- 2The first pair of brick blocks contain nothing. The right block of the second pair contains a Statue Leaf.
- 3Defeat the second Flophopper using the same technique.
- 4Let the two Bullet Bills fly overhead and jump to the grassy platform.
- 5From there, jump to the next bridge, ensuring the Flophopper is moving away from you.
- 6As soon as you land, Bullet Bills and Tanooki Bills will fly periodically in pairs. Wait for a gap and stomp the first Flophopper if possible, or jump over it.
- 7Repeat the process for the second Flophopper.
- 8Move right and jump up to the next platform. Wait for a gap in the Bullet Bills, jump up, and run onto the grassy platform.
- 9Defeat the Flophopper on this grassy platform.
- 10Move right to the waterfall. Walk through the center of the waterfall to find the first Star Coin. Run back out.
- 11Run to the right edge of the grassy platform and take a running jump off the south edge, through the ring, and onto the wooden platform, timing your jump to avoid Bullet Bills.
- 12Collecting the red coins that appear after jumping through the ring earns you a Boomerang Flower. Collect them by moving left and then run back onto the grassy platform to collect the final red coin.
- 13Run right to the end of the platform and jump onto the bridge. Wait for a gap in the Bullet Bills and jump up to the next platform.
- 14Run right, jumping over Bullet Bills, and then jump north onto the next bridge.
- 15A giant Bullet Bill will fly towards you. Run along the platform and drop south onto the next one, avoiding Bullet Bills flying from right to left.
- 16Continue right, dodging Bullet Bills. The left and right brick blocks contain a coin each. The middle block contains nothing.
- 17Jump onto the grassy platform at the end. Do not jump up to avoid giant Bullet Bills.
- 18Drop down the gap between the two platforms to find the second Star Coin. Grab it and wall jump between the walls to return to the platforms.
- 19Move right, hopping to the next platform when there isn't a giant Bullet Bill above you.
- 20Drop south onto the bridge. Run right and jump onto the next set of grassy platforms.
- 21Keep moving right, avoiding Venus Fire Trap fireballs and the Boomerang Bro.'s boomerang. Watch out for Bullet Bills flying from your left and do not jump when they appear.
- 22Follow the grassy platform around to the Venus Fire Traps. Jump over their fireballs and stomp them.
- 23Moving left, dodge the Boomerang Bro.'s boomerangs and stomp it.
- 24Jump north onto the small grassy platform, then onto the large one. Follow it north to the bridge.
- 25The third Star Coin is under the grassy bridge and requires Boomerang Mario. Stand south-east of the Star Coin, throw a boomerang north-west directly at it.
- 26Hop up the steps and move over the bridge.
- 27Take a running jump off the left edge of the last platform onto the top of the Goal Pole.
