Detailed walkthrough for Part 88 of Super Mario 3D Land, including tips for collecting all Star Coins and reaching the Goal Pole.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the starting platform, jump onto the moving platform and ride it up. Jump off to reach a tiny platform on the left to collect the first Star Coin. Drop to the platform above the Large Note Block.
  2. 2
    Continue north-west along the platform, grab three coins, and enter the door. Follow the path and use the rotating shadow to jump into the air and grab the Green Clock. Drop back down and propel yourself onto the blue platform to your left.
  3. 3
    On the blue platform, use the rotating shadow to jump onto the platform above. As you ascend, a Star Coin will be visible to your left. Jump and propel yourself off the left edge of this platform and hover down to collect the second Star Coin. Drop to the platform below.
  4. 4
    Enter the door on the blue platform. Outside, break the fake Goomba for a coin, and hit the middle and left ? Blocks for two more coins. Hit the right ? Block for a Statue Leaf. Propel yourself into the air and hover to the platform above.
  5. 5
    Move south-west along the platform, avoiding the moving stone blocks. Jump into the red ring and use the stone blocks as steps to ascend to the platform at the top. Enter the door.
  6. 6
    Follow the path north, go up the steps, and enter the door. Move left and grab the Green Clock. Drop into the pool to your left for three coins, then jump out and return to the door. Propel yourself over the door to the platform behind. Drop into the pool to your right for three coins, then jump out and run north to the Goal Pole. Collect the Green Clock near the base.
  7. 7
    Run left and hit the Cactus south of the right pillar for a coin. Jump onto the platform above.
  8. 8
    On the left side of the Wallop, propel yourself over it. If on the right side, propel yourself upwards to grab the third Star Coin. Drop back onto the platform.
  9. 9
    Jump and propel yourself off the right edge of the platform. Hover until directly above the Goal Pole and drop onto it for two 1-Ups (one for reaching the top, one for having a Propeller Box).

Shortcut:

Instead of dropping down after the first Star Coin, jump onto the Used Blocks above and left. Propel yourself to the roof, then to the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.

Special 6-2 (Time Trial):

You start with 30 seconds and gain 10 seconds for each Goomba stomped. Run north-east, stomping Goombas on Donut Blocks to gain time and progress across platforms. The gaps increase in size, and the Tanooki Suit can help if momentum is lost.

Tips
  • Collect all Star Coins to be able to finish the final level of the game.
  • Use the Propeller Box for the final 1-Up on the Goal Pole.
  • In Special 6-2, prioritize stomping Goombas to maintain sufficient time.
