Your expert guide to conquering the Groovy level in Super Mario World! Learn how to grab all Dragon Coins and navigate tricky obstacles with Yoshi or without.

Alright, let's tackle this level called 'Groovy'. It's got a few tricky bits, but nothing we can't handle together!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, grab that shell from the Koopa. We need it to get Yoshi! Throw the shell at the ? block on the ground right in front of you. Boom! Yoshi's here to help.
  2. 2
    Grab the Dragon Coin nearby. Now, head to the right. You'll see some slopes – just go under them to avoid that sliding Koopa.
  3. 3
    See that green Koopa? Eat it up! Then, spit it out ahead of you to take care of the three Koopas coming after it. Keep moving forward and eat that Pokey.
  4. 4
    Watch out for the piranha plant popping out of the hedge. Next, you'll need to jump over a gap. Wait for the volcano plant above to spit out its fireballs, then jump onto the higher ledge.
  5. 5
    There's a block up here – grab a power-up if you need it, then keep going.
  6. 6
    You'll run into a bunch of Pokeys. Navigate through them and grab the Dragon Coin that's hanging out under the Volcano plant.
  7. 7
    Pass another Pokey. Now, you have a choice: either eat the bottom volcano plant or just jump over it.
  8. 8
    After a few more Pokeys, you'll see a gap with a pipe in the middle. Wait for the plant to not be there, then jump onto the pipe. Once you reach the other side, there's another Dragon Coin waiting for you!
  9. 9
    You'll reach some ledges. Eat one of the Pokeys, then travel upwards behind them. Hop onto the blue pipe.
  10. 10
    Get onto the sloped ledge. Now, run and jump to the right. You'll bounce off a Chuck, which will let you grab the Dragon Coin floating above him.
  11. 11
    Eat the Pokeys and the volcano plant in this area. You're on the home stretch for coins – this gets you the fifth and final Dragon Coin!
  12. 12
    Just head past the yellow pipes where the Chucks are throwing baseballs. The exit is just beyond them. These Chucks can be tough! If you've got Yoshi, try going left first; this might make them stop throwing for a bit. Then, run and jump close to the first Chuck, and dismount Yoshi. This special move lets you fly over the second Chuck and right to the goal. If you don't have Yoshi, you'll need to be super careful making your way past them.
Tips
  • Yoshi is a huge help in this level, especially for dealing with the Chucks at the end. If you can get him early, it makes the final section much easier.
  • Don't rush the jumps over gaps, especially when the volcano plants are active. Timing is key!
  • Keep an eye out for all five Dragon Coins; they're pretty well hidden but definitely worth grabbing.
