Complete walkthrough for World 1-Tower in Super Mario Bros. 2, including Star Coin locations and the secret exit.
Walkthrough
- 1Start by hitting the large block above for a Leaf if needed.
- 2Make your way upward along the ledges, collecting coins. Touch empty coin outlines to reveal them.
- 3You cannot kill Dry Bones, but you can jump on them to stun them temporarily.
- 4Continue upward until you reach the red ring. Jump through it and quickly collect the eight red coins that appear to get a 1-Up.
- 5Get to the small ledge on the left side and wall jump above to reach Star Coin # 1.
- 6Grab the checkpoint (a marker indicating progress) just above.
- 7Enter the door a little further along.
- 8In that room, hit the block for a bonus amount of coins, then exit via the other door.
- 9SECRET EXIT: Instead of exiting the room normally, watch the green blocks moving around the perimeter. Wait for the blocks to leave an opening in the right wall, then jump through the opening to find a hidden passage.
- 10Go through the pipe and continue to the secret flagpole. This secret exit opens the path to the Green Toad House and the Cannon, which will lead to World Mushroom.
- 11Back in the main area, look above for more green platforms moving back and forth.
- 12In the upper-left wall, you will see a red pipe. When the platforms emerge from the wall directly below it, jump onto them and enter the pipe.
- 13Hit the P switch to make blue coins appear, but disregard them.
- 14Wall jump via the vertical green platforms to reach the upper level.
- 15Quickly jump on the brick ledges to reach Star Coin #2 at the top, then exit via the pipe.
- 16After exiting the pipe, jump up the next couple of ledges and avoid the skeletal Piranha Plants.
- 17To the left, you will see an alcove where Star Coin #3 sits.
- 18If you are Raccoon Mario, wait for the green blocks to retract to the sides, then flick your tail to defeat the enemy and grab the star coin safely.
- 19Continue upward to find more green blocks moving in the center. Wall jump from the sides to get onto them.
- 20Ride the platforms upward and jump onto the final ledge above.
- 21Enter the boss door to face Reznor.
- 22There are four rotating platforms, two with Reznors. Hit the block directly below a Reznor, or flick your tail from the side to kill it.
- 23Once both Reznors are gone, you have cleared the stage.
