Super Mario 3D World: Beat Puffprod Peaks (World 2-2)

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle World 2-2: Puffprod Peaks! This level can be a little tricky, especially with how you interact with platforms. On the Wii U, you'll be using the Gamepad's microphone or touch screen, but on the Switch, it's a bit simpler with a cursor or touch controls. Some platforms that used to require blowing into the mic are now automatic lifts, so keep that in mind!

Walkthrough

1
When you start, you'll see platforms you need to raise. Use your knowledge of the controls (Gamepad mic on Wii U, cursor/touch on Switch) to get them moving. Aim to reach the higher ledge. Up there, near some dandelions, look for an invisible enemy called a Coin Coffer. Jump on it to make it reveal some coins!
2
Continue past the first couple of sets of platforms. You'll spot two rows of ?-Blocks. There are more of those special platforms underneath them. Use those to lift the ?-Blocks. One of them has a power-up, and the left one hides some Mini Goombas. If you go *underneath* the right ?-Block, you'll find a secret area containing the Stamp. Grab it and head back to the main path.
3
Next, you'll come to a wall where you need to make platforms appear to climb up. Once you reach the top, go to the left to find Green Star #1. Now, head to the right; you'll see the Checkpoint Flag and a Warp Box.
4
After the checkpoint, you'll enter a new area with moving platforms. On the Wii U, you'll need to blow into the microphone to make them move, but on the Switch, they move automatically. Ride these platforms all the way to the end.
5
At the end of the moving platforms, jump into the Cloud Cannon. This will launch you into a bonus cloud area where you can race through the sky and grab Green Star #2 at the very end.
6
Back in the main level, hop up the ledges. Keep an eye out, as one of the bricks on the left side has a power-up. You'll encounter more platforms that pop out of the wall using the cursor. Instead of climbing them right away, drop down from the moving platform you're on to find Green Star #3.
7
With all the collectibles secured, it's just a few more platforms to the end of the level and the Goal Pole!

Secret Toad House:

After you finish the level, a pipe will appear to the left of the Goal Pole. Head into it, and you'll find a Toad House!

Tips

Remember the difference in platform controls between the Wii U and Switch versions. It's easy to get caught out if you're expecting one behavior and get another!
Don't miss the secret area under the right ?-Block after the first set of platforms – that's where the Stamp is hidden!
Be sure to look for the power-up brick on the left side after the cloud bonus area.
