World 2-5

Avoid the first Chain Chomp as you hit blocks to get a Leaf and some coins.

Get past the second Chain Chomp.

Spot another Chain Chomp in front of a brick wall. Get it to lunge toward the right, then ground pound its post to set it loose. This clears bricks in its path. If you don't have a Leaf (which gives you the Raccoon tail ability), flick your tail to clear the bricks, gaining access to Star Coin #1.

Continue upward and to the right to find a Chain Chomp with a taller post.

Ground pound the taller post three times to free the Chain Chomp, causing the block to sink into the quicksand.

Enter the now accessible red pipe and avoid the Chain Chomps above to reach Star Coin #2 and some coins before exiting via the blue pipe.

When you emerge, trigger the Checkpoint (a save point) and enter the structure ahead.

Hit the blocks to get another Leaf if needed.

Go down to the second Chain Chomp below. Free it, then go left to grab Star Coin #3.

Continue along and defeat a Boomerang Bro.

You will see a red ring ahead. Activate it if you want the red coins and a 1-Up, but be cautious of the Chain Chomps.

Proceed to the right and avoid another Boomerang Bro as you leap toward the flagpole.
