Navigate the invisible paths of Footlight Lane in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Find all Green Stars, the Stamp, and reach the Goal Pole with our complete walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The ground in Footlight Lane is mostly invisible, only appearing when you stand on it or when something impacts it. Performing a Ground Pound on the footlight paths briefly reveals the surrounding area.
  2. 2
    In the first section, Thwomps demonstrate that impacts reveal the floor. Grab the Boomerang Flower from the first set of ?-Blocks if needed.
  3. 3
    Past the two Thwomps, find an invisible ?-Block near a small wall containing a Super Star.
  4. 4
    Use the Super Star to defeat the Parabones on the winding path.
  5. 5
    Before the stairs, jump over a gap to collect Green Star #1.
  6. 6
    Go up the stairs to reach the Checkpoint Flag.
  7. 7
    Proceed through the section with spiked rollers, following their direction.
  8. 8
    At the third set of spiked rollers, hit the Green Star Ring to spawn coins. Collect all coins to earn Green Star #2.
  9. 9
    Continue to the next set of ?-Blocks, which contains a power-up.
  10. 10
    In the subsequent section with Bullet Bills, their explosions can help reveal the path. Alternatively, jump over the gaps as they appear.
  11. 11
    Before the next invisible path, Ground Pound a normal platform to reveal a path to the right.
  12. 12
    Follow this rightward path and climb the steps to find the Stamp.
  13. 13
    Return to the main course and continue along the winding path. Be aware of Cat Bullet Bills that home in on you.
  14. 14
    At the third launcher, find a path to the left leading to a Mystery Box.
  15. 15
    Enter the Mystery Box and quickly get on top of the Thwomp to reach Green Star #3.
  16. 16
    Return to the main course and follow the remaining path to the Warp Box at the end.
  17. 17
    Use the invisible platforms to reach the top of the Goal Pole and complete the course.
Tips
  • Ground Pound on footlight paths to briefly reveal the invisible floor.
  • Enemy impacts, like those from Thwomps or Bullet Bills, can also reveal the path.
  • Use the Super Star to clear out enemies efficiently.
  • Dodge the spiked rollers carefully.
  • Be mindful of the Cat Bullet Bills' homing ability.
