Star 2 - The Big House in the Sky - Rainbow Ride

Start by running across the bridge and stepping onto the first magic carpet.

As the carpet ascends, jump over the grey block.

Approach the flamethrower; wait until close, then jump onto the nearby platform with coins and an Amp. Jump back onto the carpet as it passes the flamethrower. The carpet disappears if you are off it for too long.

When the carpet reaches the end, jump onto the grey slab, then onto the circling platform. Kill Lakitu.

Jump onto the platform to the right, run to the end, and onto the magic carpet.

Allow the carpet to take you along the path. At the crossroads with two magic carpets, take the one on the RIGHT.

As the carpet ascends the new path, you will encounter falling logs and small, floating wooden pallets. You can stand on the front of the carpet and backflip onto the pallets as they move up, or backflip from the logs onto the next set before jumping back onto the carpet. Be quick, as the logs fall under Mario's weight.

The carpet approaches the house. The path goes around the back and leads into a side doorway.

Watch out for the flamethrower by the fireplace. Dismount the carpet to get coins on the table while waiting for the carpet to pass the flamethrower, then quickly hop back on.

The carpet travels back outside and approaches a platform with an Amp. Jump onto this platform and wait for the carpet to pull out from the other side, then jump back on. Watch out for the Amp.

You will come to another platform to jump onto. Get the row of coins, then jump back onto the carpet as it comes out the other side.

The carpet flies into a high window and goes down a slant. Get off and allow the carpet to get past the flamethrower's flames before quickly jumping back on.

The carpet will take you to the roof of the house. Hit the '!' Block for a 1-Up Mushroom.

Grab the nearby star to finish the level.
