World 5-3: Backstreet Bustle

Starting with only 100 game seconds on the clock, you have to work fast if you intend to collect the Green Stars and the Stamp while successfully completing the level. The other challenge here is that must make use of Double Cherry clones to activate Multi-Vators that will help you get through the level and collect everything. Your one advantage here is that it’s a very small level. There are some enemies on this stage, Goombas and Fire Piranha Plants, but the primary threat here is the clock. It is possible to collect everything in a single run if you move fast enough and don’t lose any Double Cherry clones along the way!

Green Star #1

The first Green Star is to the left of where you start the level. Look for the broken up piece of tile on the floor, and use a ground pound on it. The star pops right out.

Green Star #2

Find the second Green Star by using the lift that requires four Double Cherry clones or players. It’s very close to the lift that takes three characters to reach the third Green Star.

Green Star #3

The third Green Star technically can be the second one you see, and it’s reached easily by using three Double Cherry clones to activate a lift that takes you over the blue lava straight to the star, as well as to the final climb to the Goal Pole.

Stamp

The Stamp is just to the south of the Goal Pole. You must have Toad to push down the Character Switch and retrieve the Stamp.
