New Super Mario Bros Wii Guide › Walkthrough › World 2-Desert World

World 2-1

Use the sand geysers to traverse the level. A lot of World 2-1 will be uneven and full of gaps. The only way you can get through it is to make use of the geysers to launch you into the air, which allows you to reach higher ground and cross dangerous chasms.

Tip

Don't be afraid to jump into a geyser as it's firing into the air. You don't have to jump directly onto the top of it. As long as you hit the sand geyser while it's active, the sand will carry you to the top.

Star Coin

To reach the first Star Coin, jump on the geyser at Point 2, then Wall-Slide down into the area beneath the Star Coin. Wait for the sand geyser’s first spurt to indicate it is about to fire, then jump onto the geyser and allow it to carry you up to the Star Coin.

Get a running start on the Boomerang Bro. and time your jump so that you’ll knock him on his noggin between boomerang throws.

Star Coin

To grab the second Star Coin, ride the geyser at Point 4, then Wall-Slide down the small wall section on the right of the Piranha Plant. You’ll automatically land in the small alcove with the Star Coin. After you grab it, wait for the geyser to blast off again, then ride it out of the alcove.

Don’t be too hasty in trying to leap over the Piranha Plant at Point 5. Wait for the sand geyser to dissipate, then Spin-Jump over the chomping plant to avoid getting bitten. If you try to leap over the Piranha Plant while it’s riding the geyser, you’ll have a hard time coming down unscathed.

Star Coin

Nabbing the final Star Coin can be kind of tricky. When you approach Point 6, do not kill the Red Koopa Paratroopa! Instead, wait for it to fly over the geyser just to the left of the Star Coin, then bounce on the Koopa’s head. Grab its shell and fire it at the Star Coin beneath the platform on the right.

If the shell hits the Star Coin, it’s yours! If you can’t grab it this time, you can always come back and grab it when you have the Propellerhead power-up! As Propellerhead Mario, jump down to grab the coin, then shake the Wii Remote to zip up into the air before you die.

Time your jumps carefully to avoid falling to your death across Point 7. The sand geysers take turns blasting, so watch for the initial sand spurt from each, then jump across them to reach the flag.
