Navigate World 2-Castle in Super Mario Bros. 2, including how to get all three Star Coins and defeat Iggy Koopa.
Walkthrough
- 1Ride on a flat moving platform atop the lava. This platform only moves when you are standing on it. Jump over obstacles and enemies.
- 2Watch out for brick ledges overhead that flip over, dumping Buzzy Beetles.
- 3To get Star Coin #1, jump from the vertical brick ledges below it when it appears floating overhead.
- 4After reaching the checkpoint (a point where you can restart if you fail), hit the blocks ahead to get a Leaf (a power-up).
- 5Continue on the next moving platform. Hit the middle block in the formation ahead and grab the springboard that appears.
- 6Avoid fireballs jumping out from below. Use the springboard to reach Star Coin #2, which swings back and forth above.
- 7Carry the springboard onward. For the brick walls blocking the way, place the springboard on the platform and jump over the walls.
- 8Stand on the other end of the springboard so it slides through. Keep holding it so rotating brick walls in the lava do not knock it away.
- 9When you reach the red pipe hanging above, bounce into it to reach a new room.
- 10In the new room, jump around in the coin outlines to make coins appear, but do not collect them yet.
- 11Hit the left blocks and trigger the P switch, which turns the coins into blocks.
- 12Jump up the temporary ledges to grab Star Coin #3 at the top.
- 13After the switch reverts, collect the coins, then exit via the opposite end.
- 14You will land next to the boss door. When ready, enter to face Iggy Koopa.
- 15Iggy Koopa rides in a capsule pulled by a Chain Chomp along a track. Jump on Iggy's head to attack.
- 16The Chain Chomp will become angry and carry them offscreen before returning, moving more quickly. You can see where they will emerge by the dust kicked up beforehand.
- 17The Chain Chomp will turn to follow you as it moves across the room, so keep this in mind when avoiding it.
- 18Attack Iggy three times to win the battle.
Tips
- The moving platform only moves when you are standing on it.
- Look out for Buzzy Beetles falling from overhead brick ledges.
- Use the springboard to reach Star Coin #2 and to get over the brick walls.
- The Chain Chomp's movement speed increases after the first hit on Iggy.
- Watch the dust trail to anticipate the Chain Chomp's path.
