Bullies can’t be beaten by mere stomps: You’ve got to use repeated stomps to drive them to a ledge, and as they teeter on the brink, use one last stomp to push them off the side of the boat. One by itself isn’t too hard, but expect to see more the farther into the level you go.
Green Star #1
Push these two Bullies off the side of the boat to earn the first Green Star. The blocks on the sides might make this a bit tougher, but you can easily stomp a Bully through them.
Stamp
The second Warp Box you encounter takes you inside one of the shipwrecks. Close to where you arrive, the Stamp hovers over a platform being orbited by Peepas.
Green Star #2
Not far from the Stamp is another set of platforms over some water. Peepas infest the water, while two Boos guard the ledges. If you break open the second ? Block, you can get a Super Star to eliminate the enemy. Don’t forget to dive into the small pit below the Peepas for the second Green Star.
Green Star #3
The final Green Star is next to a dangerous, narrow walkway that constantly shifts depending on where you are standing. Evade the Boos haunting the area and head for the Green Star.
The last boat you encounter is guarded by two Bullies. Use the same methods that you’ve honed throughout this level to deal with them. A Warp Box appears after they’re beaten, taking you to the Goal Pole zone. Your final obstacle to reach the top of the pole is a shifting platform protected by a spiked roller.
