Detailed walkthrough for Super Mario Land Part 85, including Star Coin locations, enemy strategies, and tips for navigating tricky platforming sections and Warp Boxes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you can, jump to the platform floating in from your right. The first Star Coin will be above it. Grab it, then wait for a platform to float in from the left. Jump onto it.
  2. 2
    Jump onto a platform floating in from the right, then another from the left. Be mindful of the stable platform above to avoid falling. Jump from the floating platform onto the stable one.
  3. 3
    Hit the Warp Box. After warping, immediately jump onto the step, then the first floating platform. Jump to the second, then run to its right edge. Take a running jump off the edge. If timed correctly, you'll land on top of the Goal Pole for a 1-Up.
  4. 4
    This section covers Special 5-5. Note that 'real' Warp Boxes, which advance you through the level, are marked with a coin. Avoid Warp Boxes without a coin, as they warp you back.
  5. 5
    Take the right of the three Warp Boxes. The other two warp you back to the start. After warping, move north and stomp the two Tanooki Goombas. Break the box to your north-east for a Statue Leaf. Do not hit the Warp Box north of it, as it warps you back to the beginning.
  6. 6
    Move left and go up the ramp. Jump onto the stack of books, stomping the Tanooki Goomba if present, then onto the platform above. You can defeat the two Tanooki Goombas there. Move south-east along the platform and enter the Warp Box.
  7. 7
    This area has Venus Fire Traps and a Piranha Plant. Move north and stomp the Venus Fire Trap to your left, then move right and stomp the Piranha Plant. Dodge fireballs. Do not hit the ? Block to the right of the Piranha Plant; it contains a Poison Mushroom.
  8. 8
    Move left and hit the ? Block for a Fire Flower. Go up the ramp to your north-west and enter the Warp Box there to proceed to the next area. Alternatively, jump onto the stack of books, stomp the Venus Fire Trap, then onto the platform after it. Stomp the Venus Fire Trap there too, but do not enter the Warp Box on this platform as it warps you back to the beginning. Return to the 'real' Warp Box and enter it.
  9. 9
    The next area has Dry Bones. Ignore them and the Warp Box on the ground (it warps you to the beginning). Move north-west and go up the ramp on the left. Jump onto the stack of books with a Dry Bones on it, stomping it unless you can dodge it. Jump to the platform above. Move north along the platform, stomping Dry Bones if needed. Enter the Warp Box at the end of the platform.
  10. 10
    The next room has a Checkpoint Flag. Hit it and grab the Blue Clock to your north-east. Hit the Flying ? Block in the center for coins. Ignore the Warp Box to your left and move up the ramp. Jump onto the stack of books then onto the platform above. Note: 'Fake' Warp Boxes now warp you back to the start of this room.
  11. 11
    Star Coin Alert! #1: This Star Coin is deceptive. Stomp the Goomba on the platform, and it will drop a Star Coin. Grab it, then move south and enter the Warp Box there.
  12. 12
    This room has Prongos. To defeat one, lure it into diving by standing within range, then move out of the way and stomp its underside. Move forward and defeat the first Prongo.
  13. 13
    Move north and hit the ? Block to get a Boomerang Flower. Move north-east and grab the Blue Clock, then run left. Defeat the Prongo there, then run up the ramp. Defeat the next Prongo and hit the brick block for coins. Jump onto the stack of books then to the main platform above.
  14. 14
    Defeat the Prongo here. Disregard the Warp Box to the north and move south. Jump off the left edge of the southern-most platform into the Warp Box.
  15. 15
    Star Coin Alert! #2: This room has many Peepas moving anti-clockwise. Move forward and stomp the Goomba. This Goomba also drops a Star Coin. Grab it and move left, dodging the Peepas.
  16. 16
    Go up the ramp and hit the ? Block for a Statue Leaf. Jump onto the stack of books and the platform above, avoiding Peepas. Move north along the platform and hit the Warp Box there. Do not enter the one on the south side of the platform.
  17. 17
    Star Coin Alert! #3: The next room contains... (The source text cuts off here).
Tips
  • Always look for the coin next to a Warp Box to ensure it advances you through the level.
  • Be patient with platforming sections, especially around the first Star Coin.
  • Utilize power-ups like the Statue Leaf and Fire Flower effectively against enemies.
  • The running jump at the end can be tricky; practice the timing to get the 1-Up.
  • Be aware that 'fake' Warp Boxes change their destination from the level start to the room start after the Checkpoint Flag.
  • 1-Up (if Goal Pole is topped)
  • Star Coins (3 total, one is incomplete in source)
  • Statue Leaf
  • Fire Flower
