Conquer Mondo in Super Mario World

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle the Mondo level in Super Mario World! This one's all about managing water levels and timing your jumps. Don't worry, we'll get through it together.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start by swimming to the right. You can go over or under the two fish swimming around.
2
Next, you'll see a flying platform. Hit the enemy on it, then jump on the platform yourself and ride it to the ledge with coins.
3
From that ledge, jump onto the yellow pipe. You need to wait for the plant inside to move out of the way before you can jump on it. Once you do, the water level will rise.
4
Head right and hit the '?' block for a power-up. Then, move to the blue pipe on the right.
5
Now, you need to wait for the water level to drop below ground level. Once it does, drop down.
6
You'll see another enemy on a flying platform. Hit it off, then jump on the platform yourself.
7
Jump down and wait for the water level to rise again. This is your chance to grab the Dragon Coin.
8
After that, head to the green pipe. Swim right and hit the highest of the three diagonal blocks – you'll find a Yoshi egg in there!
9
Keep going right to some ledges. Grab the Dragon Coin at the very top.
10
Continue to the two blue pipes and enter the lower one.
11
You'll slide down a cloudy slope. Collect the coins as you go and grab the Dragon Coin at the bottom. Enter the pipe.
12
Move right until you reach two long lines of '?' blocks.
13
When the water level drops, you'll need to eat or jump on the fish to get the Dragon Coin at the bottom.
14
Now, raid the blocks! The top row has coins and a Fire Flower, while the bottom row just has coins.
15
Head right and take on the enemy on the flying platform. It's easiest to do this when the water level is low, so you can reach it faster.
16
Grab the Dragon Coin located here.
17
Finally, head to the higher ledge and enter the pipe to reach the level's exit. Save your game!

Tips

Pay close attention to the water level changes; they dictate when you can access certain areas and items.
Don't rush the jumps onto the flying platforms; wait for the right moment after dealing with the enemies.
The Yoshi egg is a nice little bonus, so make sure to hit that highest diagonal block!
