World 5-Tower

The key to making it all the way up the World 5-Tower is to move left and right along the platforms as the spiked walls shift left and right. If they go left and you go right, or vice versa, you’ll meet with a horrible end. At Point 1, jump left, onto the top of the left spiked wall, then quickly leap onto the platforms overhead.

At Point 3, let the walls shift to the right to expose a series of three small blue ledges that lead up to the next part of the level.

Boss Battle

Iggy Koopa is a rather odd Koopa. He wields a wand just like his other troublesome siblings but isn’t quite as dangerous. During this battle with Iggy, he jumps across three yellow platforms that rise and fall constantly. While the center platform rises, the other two fall. When the two platforms on the sides rise, the center one falls.

This allows you to always have the advantage over Iggy. Jump across the platforms so that you’re always above his head and able to dodge his magic projectiles. As soon as Iggy’s platform drops, jump off your raised platform and pounce on his head! When he retreats into his shell and begins bouncing around, stay on the move! The platforms will rise and fall just in time for the shell to transfer from one platform to another. Repeat this process two more times to beat Iggy.
