Super Mario 3D World Guide › Walkthrough › World 3

World 3-1: Snowball Park

Be careful when dealing with Snow Pokeys, you can’t just run up to them thanks to their spines. The Cat Power-Up can Claw their heads, but fireballs is best for defeating these enemies from afar. As you move on, be aware that some parts of the terrain are made entirely of ice, which can cause you to slip out of control.

Behind this tree is a Propeller Box. You definitely want the enhanced jumping capability that this Power-Up provides!

Green Star #1

A wall of Para-Biddybuds patrols in front of a small alcove containing the first Green Star. Time your attack carefully so that you don’t get hit while clearing a way to the star. Having the Propeller Box can make this easier.

Watch out for the Goomba riding around on the ice skate, as it moves pretty quickly. However, if you stomp on the Goomba, you can take the ice skate for yourself and ride around the next sections. Just be careful to not run into anything, or you’ll lose your ride. Shortly beyond the Checkpoint Flag you must get past a swarm of skating Goombas on top of an ice lake, so be ready!

Green Star #2

As you leave behind the ice lake, you find a Rabbit that holds the second Green Star. It leads you on a merry chase past a pack of Biddybuds.

Stamp

Tricky, tricky! The Stamp is on a very narrow ice path where one slip will send you off a cliff, with Snow Pokeys further complicating the situation. The Tanooki Power-Up, which you’ll see more commonly throughout this level, is a huge help in retrieving this item.

Green Star #3

Just north of the Stamp is the third Green Star. You must vault off the top of one of the trees on the ground near the pipe, then wall jump off the wall and use the Tanooki Power-Up’s tail to float into the star.
