Need help with World 5-C: The Golden Express? This guide covers everything you need to know to conquer this tricky train level in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start on a train, so immediately put on your Cat Suit if you have one. You'll need to climb up the train cars.
  2. 2
    Jump from car to car, using your wall-climb ability to ascend. Some cars have enemies, so be ready to pounce or dodge.
  3. 3
    Watch out for the gaps between the train cars. A mistimed jump here means falling to your doom and losing a life.
  4. 4
    Look for opportunities to jump onto the roof of the train cars. This is often where you'll find the Green Stars.
  5. 5
    There will be sections where the train cars are closer together, allowing for easier jumps. Use these moments to catch your breath and assess the path ahead.
  6. 6
    Some cars might have power-ups, so keep an eye out for those Question Mark Blocks.
  7. 7
    The level progresses linearly along the train, so focus on moving forward and upward.
  8. 8
    Pay attention to the background for visual cues about upcoming obstacles or platforms.
  9. 9
    If you fall, you'll likely restart from the beginning of the train or a recent checkpoint. Try to be deliberate with your jumps.
  10. 10
    The final stretch of the train will often have more enemies or trickier platforming. Stay focused!
Tips
  • The Cat Suit is almost essential for this level. If you don't have one, try to find a Bell power-up early on.
  • Don't rush! Take your time to line up your jumps, especially between cars.
  • Explore the roofs of the train cars thoroughly for hidden Green Stars and the main goal.
  • If you're struggling with a particular jump, try approaching it from a slightly different angle.
