Master the Way Cool level in Super Mario World! This guide provides step-by-step instructions to collect all Dragon Coins and reach the exit with ease.

Alright, let's tackle this level called "Way Cool." It's all about timing and hitting the right switches to navigate moving platforms and avoid enemies. We'll grab all those shiny Dragon Coins along the way!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by going right onto a platform that immediately begins moving. Your first task is to hit the OFF button. This changes the platform's direction, so make sure you hit it to collect the Dragon Coin that appears on the new route.
  2. 2
    Next, you'll need to jump over a saw blade that's coming your way. After that, hit the following switch. This will make the platform start moving upwards.
  3. 3
    Now, watch out for two enemies that move in opposite directions (one north, one south). You need to jump between them when they are at their furthest points. There's a ? block here that will give you a power-up – grab it if you need it!
  4. 4
    Keep going and ignore the next two switches. You'll then encounter two enemies that circle around. Jump over them.
  5. 5
    You'll see another Dragon Coin – grab it! Then, jump over another saw blade.
  6. 6
    Hit the next switch, and as the platform reaches the end, jump straight up to snag the Dragon Coin that's hovering above.
  7. 7
    After landing on a ledge, head right until you reach a section with ropes. Keep an eye out for a ? block on the way; it contains wings for Yoshi if you have him.
  8. 8
    When you get to the first two ropes, enemies will start approaching. As an enemy gets close, jump upwards off the rope and then immediately land back on it. Repeat this for both ropes.
  9. 9
    Next, you'll jump onto a moving platform. Again, time your jump carefully as an enemy approaches, then hop onto the next rope.
  10. 10
    Descend the rope after the first enemy path. You'll see a Dragon Coin below the second enemy path – go down and get it!
  11. 11
    Now, head back up and onto a circling platform. After avoiding another enemy, jump off this platform onto the ledge that follows, and then onto another rope.
  12. 12
    This last rope section requires precise movement. You'll need to avoid enemies by staying high, then high again, then low, then high, then low. You'll pass through two enemies by staying in the middle, and then navigate the last three by staying low.
  13. 13
    Finally, jump off the rope and head through the exit to complete the level!
Tips
  • Don't rush the rope sections! The timing is key to avoiding enemies and falling.
  • If you have Yoshi and the Cape Feather, the wings in the ? block can make navigating some of the trickier platforming sections much easier.
  • Always keep an eye on the switches and the direction of the platforms; hitting the wrong switch at the wrong time can send you off course.
