Complete walkthrough for Super Mario Land Part 104, including Star Coin locations and how to unlock Special 8-Bowser's Castle.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump east and onto the next cog.
  2. 2
    Jump along each cog, staying towards the center, until you reach the final cog.
  3. 3
    From the final cog, jump off its edge at high speed towards the platform to your right.
  4. 4
    Run north along the brick block path until you reach Star Coin #2. Grab it and jump south back to the platform. The Cosmic Clone will follow, breaking the path.
  5. 5
    Jump right onto the rubber platform.
  6. 6
    Perform a large jump up onto the cog to your right. If you fail, slide down the cog's side, wall jump from the bottom back to the rubber platform, and try again.
  7. 7
    Once on the cog, run right, jumping from cog to cog towards the center until you reach the next ship.
  8. 8
    Run along the ship to the right, jump up the steps, and hop onto the ship's top.
  9. 9
    Move onto the purple block supporting the cog to your north, then jump onto the cog itself.
  10. 10
    Follow the cogs around, jumping from one to the next. For fast-spinning cogs, jump towards the center to avoid falling. Continue until you are at the north-west corner of the cog path.
  11. 11
    Jump directly to Star Coin #3 on this cog. Grab it and move right, staying towards the cog's center.
  12. 12
    At the end of the cog, jump right to the next cog and continue following the path of cogs to the ship.
  13. 13
    Hop up the steps on the ship's left side.
  14. 14
    Run onto the piece of wood jutting from the ship's left side.
  15. 15
    Run to the end of the wood and grab the Super Star.
  16. 16
    Use the Super Star to defeat the Cosmic Clone temporarily.
  17. 17
    Run back to the main part of the ship and jump up the remaining stairs to the top step.
  18. 18
    Take a running jump from the right side of the top step onto the top of the Goal Pole for 1-Ups!
Tips
  • When jumping between cogs, staying towards the center helps prevent falling off.
  • For very fast-spinning cogs, aim for the center when jumping to maintain stability.
  • To reach Star Coin #2, make sure to jump off the edge of the final cog at maximum speed towards the platform on the right.
  • If you miss a jump onto a cog, slide down its side and wall jump from the bottom to return to the rubber platform.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the level with 30 seconds and stomp the first Hammer Bro. to gain 10 extra seconds.
  2. 2
    Dodge hammers and stomp both Hammer Bros. Avoid stomping them while they jump to prevent taking damage.
  3. 3
    Stomp the P-Switch.
  4. 4
    Run along the appearing chain platform. You can break the middle brick block for a coin.
  5. 5
    Continue to the next platform and stomp the Hammer Bro. there.

  9. 9
    Jump to the next platform, dodging hammers from the Hammer Bro. there.
  10. 10
    Stomp the Hammer Bro. and continue on.
  11. 11
    When you reach the next Hammer Bro., be ready to stomp him before he throws a hammer, as he will jump to the other side of the platform.
  12. 12
    Jump into the Warp Box above the lava. If lava geysers are active, jump more vertically towards the Warp Box.
  13. 13
    After warping, run left and stomp the Hammer Bro. there.

  17. 17
    As you move right, multiple Magmaarghs will appear to your north, moving south.
  18. 18
    Continue moving right, grab the Blue Clock as you pass it, and stop the Switchboard just before the Large ? Block.
  19. 19
    Take a running jump from the Switchboard onto the Large ? Block to reach Star Coin #1. This may require moving the Switchboard back and forth and performing several jumps.

    Once the Magmaargh is past, jump back down to the Switchboard.
  22. 22
    Continue right, optionally hitting the Large ? Block for coins.

Tips

  • Be patient when dealing with Magmaarghs, especially when they appear in groups or near important platforms.
  • Timing your jumps is crucial, particularly when navigating around Magmaarghs and lava geysers.
  • The Switchboard section requires careful maneuvering to reach the Star Coin.
