Complete Super Mario Land Special 2-1 walkthrough, including how to get all three Star Coins and defeat enemies.
Walkthrough
- 1Move right, up the stairs. Hit the back right corner brick block for a coin.
- 2Stop at the gap with the note blocks. To get Star Coin #1, take a running jump off the platform, land on the note block directly underneath the Star Coin, and press 'A' to perform a large jump. Grab the Star Coin and land on the platform to your right.
- 3Collect the two coins on this platform. You can ground pound the brick blocks for a coin each, but it takes time.
- 4When the yellow platform moves down, jump onto it. Prepare for a running jump to the next platform and wait until both platforms are at their highest. Jump to the next platform.
- 5Quickly jump onto the platform containing the Piranha Plant before the yellow platform gets too low. Stomp the Piranha Plant and jump onto the yellow platform before it begins to move up.
- 6Move around and stomp the other Piranha Plant. When the current platform is at its highest, jump to the next one and stomp the Venus Fire Trap, watching out for its fireballs.
- 7Wait and jump to the next platform. Jump up into the red ring when the platform moves up, then immediately jump to the large platform with the Piranha Plants and red coins.
- 8Collect the coins as the platform moves to the right; a Fire Flower will appear. Jump to the south-east platform moving up and down beneath some coins. Grab the coins when it moves back up.
- 9Jump onto the large note blocks. Perform a large jump on the note blocks as you land and jump onto the next yellow platform.
- 10At the top, jump onto the grassy platform and then up to the platform with brick blocks and a ? Block. The back left brick block contains multiple coins, and the ? Block contains a Fire Flower.
- 11Jump onto the note blocks, pressing 'A' as you land for a large jump up to the two large note blocks. Perform another large jump and jump onto the next yellow platform.
- 12Let the platform move up, then jump to the next one. Let that one move up too, so that four yellow platforms connect.
- 13Move to the next platform, then jump diagonally north-west to skip the platform with the Venus Fire Trap. Dodge its fireballs if necessary.
- 14Let the platform you're on move up, then jump to the one to the right. Let this platform move up. Grab Star Coin #2 at the top.
- 15Move to the south platform connected to this one and jump onto the note blocks.
- 16Wait for the next yellow platform to move down, then use the note blocks to propel yourself onto it. Let it move up, then perform a running jump off the left edge onto the note blocks.
- 17Press 'A' as you land for a large jump onto the platform above. Jump onto the next set of note blocks and perform another large jump to propel yourself into the Warp Box. If you miss, jump back onto the blocks and try again. The screen stops moving here.
- 18Jump onto the yellow platform and defeat the Piranha Plant.
- 19To get Star Coin #3, aim to jump onto the top of the castle behind you. Move left and right along the platform to jump between the raised bits on the side of the castle. Stay on the south edge of the platform. Anticipate when the platform will stop moving up and take a running jump off the north edge at the highest point to land on the castle. Collect the Star Coin from the left side.
Tips
- The screen continuously moves right, so you must keep moving to avoid falling off-screen and dying.
- Clouds can impair vision; look ahead to visualize what was behind them or wait for them to pass.
- Defeating Piranha Plants in the area with red coins will only slow you down.
- If you miss the Warp Box, jump back onto the note blocks and try again.
