Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To get back to the main platform, aim for the yellow block as it appears, timing your jump to avoid the Spikebar. From there, proceed to the red platform and then the wooden platform at the end.
  2. 2
    Move north up the stairs and defeat the Prongo by luring it into a dive, dodging, and stomping it.
  3. 3
    Continue right to a set of Beat Platforms. Time your jump to land on the yellow platform as it appears, with the Pole 'n' Chain swinging towards you.
  4. 4
    Immediately jump to the red platform, dodging the Pole 'n' Chain. From there, jump to the wooden platform.
  5. 5
    Defeat the Prongo on the wooden platform. Ahead are more Beat Platforms. Jump from blue to yellow to red as the Pole 'n' Chain moves away.
  6. 6
    As you run from the red platform to the wooden platform, move underneath the Pole 'n' Chain.
  7. 7
    For the final Beat Platforms, jump from blue to yellow to red, then take a running jump off the right edge to grab the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.

Special 3-Airship

This course requires 140 Star Coins to unlock. The screen zooms right, so keep pace.

  1. Run right and wait for the jet engines to stop, then run through. Jump up onto the tight rope. Dodge the two Bullet Bills that appear from the right and subsequent Bullet Bills from the north.
  2. Star Coin Alert! #1: On the other side, jump onto the platform the Bullet Bills are firing from. Collect the Star Coin and jump back to the main part of the ship on the right side, bypassing the Bills.
  3. Jump onto the roof and then the next ship. Hit the ? Block for a Statue Leaf, watching out for Bullet Bills from the north.
  4. Star Coin Alert! #2: The Star Coin is above the ground with a wall behind it. Wall jump off the back wall into the Star Coin. Be quick to avoid falling behind. Skip the Rocky Wrench to save time.
  5. Star Coin Alert! #3: Instead of jumping over the Tanooki Bill cannons to your left, find a small gap between ships before the cannons. Ensure you are not about to be hit by Tanooki Bills or Bullet Bills from the north, then drop through the gap to a platform below. Grab the Star Coin to your right. Jump onto the first step before the Jet Engines fire.
  6. At the end of the ship, you can hit a brick block for a coin, but it's not recommended due to time loss. Instead, jump to the next ship and grab the first two coins. Jump over each Jet Engine without waiting for them to stop.
  7. Jump past the first two Jet Engines, then north onto the large blue platform, avoiding the Jet Engine.
  8. Move right and wait for the last Jet Engine to stop, then take a running jump onto the plank extending from the next ship, collecting coins. It's recommended to be Statue Tanooki Mario for judging your landing.
  9. Run down the steps to grab extra coins. Bump into the three Statue Tanooki Toads for coins. Run back up the steps and take a running jump from the last step onto the top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
