Master the Cheese Bridge Area in Super Mario World with this detailed walkthrough, including tips for the Yoshi Bonus Area and the challenging secret exit.

Run to the right, get the powerup from the block and jump onto the platform. Jump over the chainsaw, onto the next platform above, jump over another chainsaw and onto the platform above that one. Ride on it for a while, collect the coins when you come to them, and watch out for a chainsaw when it comes. Hit the block for a powerup, and shortly after grab the Dragon Coin. Keep riding and jumping over the chainsaws, and eventually you reach a straight line, and when the line ends, jump onto the checkpoint to the right.

Hit the block to release a set of wings. These are only used if you have Yoshi; if you do collect them and you will be transported to a bonus area (see after this paragraph for more information about this), otherwise ignore them. Jump onto the rope (jump to it and press Up), and jump off at the platform. Jump right to the next platform, hit the block to get a powerup, then get the Yoshi Coin to the right and then head down the pipe. In this area, bullet bills will come from each corner of the screen towards Mario every so often; when this happens, jump straight upward and then down again (you can still jump on them to dispose of them mind). Anyways, just make you way across the platforms and head up the pipe at the other end. Back above, go right and climb onto the big rope. Now you have to climb the rope to avoid the chainsaws. First of all, head up to the top, then the middle, then to the top again and get the Dragon Coin. The rope will then come to an end and just simply jump into the exit.

YOSHI BONUS AREA

To get here, collect the wings from the block after the midway checkpoint while riding on Yoshi. You will fly upward into a bonus area. Pressing the jump button makes Yoshi fly. When you start, head up to the top right and collect the Dragon Coin (mind the black enemy mind) and wait until the screen goes right, and collect another Dragon Coin. Head through the group of blocks and enemies as the screen moves up and right, and through another group as it goes down and left. When it goes up again, there are two Dragon Coins that are surrounded by blocks; eat the enemy that's here, then enter from the left and grab the coins, and exit out the top. Follow the screen as it does down, and when you see the arrow made of blocks pointing down, drop down there to finish.

SECRET EXIT: Unlocks 'Soda Lake'

This is one of the hardest and annoying secret exits in the game. If you have played the level as normal, you may have noticed that there wasn't any sign of a secret exit. That's because it's BEHIND the normal exit! You cannot go over it by flying; as its on a ledge, you have to go under it. There are two ways of going under, via flying across the level then dipping under the exit and up (of which is amazing hard) and the other way, is using Yoshi. Fly across the level on Yoshi, then get to where the platforms just by the normal exit are. I would advise to fly from the strip before the yellow pipe, and then fly from there to the exit - you may dip into the chainsaws, if that happens then land on top of them to bump onward a little. When you get there, then jump right under the normal exit and float until you are past it, then dismount from Yoshi so you jump up onto the ledge above (Yoshi has to bite the bullet sadly). Now head right, collect the 3-Up Moon from the higher ledge and go into the secret exit.
