New Super Mario Bros 2 Guide › Worlds › World Two

World 2-Castle

Note

Use the large rafts floating in the lava to traverse this level. When you stand on a raft, it moves to the right. When you jump off of a raft, it stops moving.

As you approach Point 1, the Blocks swivel down toward the lava. Position the raft under the Blocks, then use them to reach the Star Coin high above you.

Hit the ? Block at Point 2 to reveal a Springboard. Hop up and grab it, then drop back to the raft. This valuable tool allows you to reach some important items, so try to keep it until you reach the end of the level.

Tip

When you’re not using the Springboard, it’s usually best to carry it. This prevents the level’s many obstacles from knocking it into the lava.

When you reach the coin outlines at Point 3, bounce on the Springboard to prevent the raft from moving. Watch for the Star Coin that swings through the area, then jump up and grab it.

Bounce up to the Red Ring at Point 4, then drop back down to the raft. After the Springboard passes under the first set of Blocks, pick it up and collect the red coins to the right. When you reach the last group of red coins, use the Springboard to collect them.

The last Star Coin is located in a hidden area. Use the Springboard to reach the red pipe at Point 5.

Tip

If the player loses the springboard, but has a super leaf, they can position the raft at the end of the level to get a running start and fly up to the pipe to acquire the third Star Coin.

After you pass through the pipe, activate as many of the coin outlines as you can, but try not to collect the coins that appear. Hit the Block along the left wall to reveal a P Switch, then stomp it to transform all of the coins to Blocks. Use the Blocks to reach the Star Coin at the top of the room.

Note

While the P Switch is active, touching the remaining coin outlines causes additional Blocks to appear.

During the boss battle, a Chain Chomp pulls Larry Koopa around the room. Avoid the Chain Chomp and use the platforms to stomp on Larry’s head.

Larry uses his wand to shoot fireballs around the room. Dodge these attacks and position yourself to stomp him again. Jump on Larry Koopa three times to end the encounter and unlock World Three.
