World 4-1: Ant Trooper Hill

This level introduces Ant Troopers, enemies that cannot be defeated by jumping but can be clawed. They follow a set pattern. At the entrance, a block contains coins. At the back wall, a ? Block provides a Super Bell. Climb the wall, avoiding Ant Troopers. Horned Ant Troopers damage you if you jump on them. Enter the cave filled with Ant Troopers. Midway through, a ledge contains Ant Troopers; defeat them to reach the Stamp. Ignore the Crystal Blocks for now. Climb the wall at the end of the path instead of crossing the bridge to find Green Star #1. Return to the Crystal Blocks and break them for a Super Star. Cross the bridge, defeating Horned Ant Troopers, to reach the Checkpoint Flag. Ahead, use Big Ant Troopers to cross spikes. Jump onto the ledge and enter the pipe. Jump up Ant Troopers or climb the wall to get Green Star #2, then exit. Continue riding Big Ant Troopers over spikes, jumping for Green Star #3 at the end of the trail. If you miss the jump, slide down the wall to the right for coins and reach the Goal Pole. The Cat Suit can help reach the top of the Goal Pole.

World 4-2: Piranha Creeper Creek

This level introduces the Piranha Creeper, a large Piranha Plant that retracts when hit. Force it to retract completely to defeat it. Past the first wave, a ? Block contains a Fire Flower. Defeat the Piranha Creeper blocking the pipe to the next zone. In the Mystery Box, Piranha Creepers form steps to Green Star #1; precision jumping or a Cat Suit is needed. More Piranha Creepers appear, one guarding the water leading to Green Star #2. Past this, a Piranha Creeper emerges from the side of the wall where water descends; bounce off it into the wall to find a coin-filled area and the Stamp. Use the pipe to reach the final area with a Roulette Block.

Warp Zone

With a Cat Power-Up, climb the wall here. Across moving platforms is a Red Pipe leading to World 5.

Grab the Super Leaf for easier navigation and tail-swiping Piranha Creepers. Activate the Green Star Ring on rotating platforms, but defeat Piranha Creepers first to easily collect Green Coins and Green Star #3. Use the pipe to reach the Goal Pole, bouncing off a Piranha Creeper to cap it.

World 4-A: Brolder Blockade

Brolders are living boulders that curl up when hit. Pick them up and toss them into lava to clear the blockade. Grab the coins and Green Star after defeating them.

World 4-3: Beep Block Skyway

This level requires patience and timing. Wait for blue Beep Blocks to turn pink to cross. Find a Double Cherry inside blocks. Cross to the next platform for another Double Cherry. Cross the mismatched bridge by timing jumps between colors. Avoid Boomerang Bros.; use clones to hit P Panels for coins. Step on a pink Beep Block, then time a jump to a blue one with another Boomerang Bro. Defeat him and reach Green Star #1 on a blue Beep Block. Enter the Warp Box. Defeat another Boomerang Bro and find a Double Cherry. Ascend Beep Block steps, grabbing another Double Cherry. Use the Checkpoint Flag and the Multi-Vator (requires 4 players or Cat Suit) to reach the Stamp. Descend Beep Block steps to another Warp Box.
