World 7-Castle

Time your jumps carefully to eliminate the Sumo Bros. at Point 2. If you’re standing on the ground while they execute their Ground-Pound attack, you’ll be stunned long enough to take a blow from one of their hammers to your head!

Dash across the walkways beginning at Point 4 and stop near the arrow markers to duck under the spiked pistons as they fall. As soon as they begin to move away, dash to the right again to the next arrow marker.

Boss Battle

This battle against Ludwig Von Koopa takes place on three platforms that rise and fall. As the platforms rise and fall, Ludwig will blast you with multiple magic projectiles from his wand and flutter-jump over your head to make it nearly impossible for you to see him or hit him! Dodge his projectiles as he flutter-jumps, then bait him to come down on the platform where you’re standing.

Just as he’s about to come back down, jump onto the platform next to you, then bounce on Ludwig’s head! He’ll retreat into his shell and bounce back and forth on his platform, so jump away until he pops back out of his shell. Hit him two more times on his hairdo and beat the bothersome Koopaling!
