    Jump to a checkerboard platform, watch out for a Piranha Plant.
  17. 17

    When the arrow platform passes under a blue platform, jump onto the blue platform (replenish health with the heart).
  19. 19
    Use this platform to cross six wooden block platforms (four rectangular, two diamond-shaped).
  20. 20
    When the platform stops, jump to the lower platform with two Bob-Ombs.
  21. 21
    Jump onto the circular platform that twirls around.
  22. 22
    Jump to another circular spinning platform.
  23. 23
