Green Star #1
Immediately after starting this level, run away from the stairs in front of you to find a Mystery Box for a chance to win the first Green Star. The bonus room on the other side gives you 10 game seconds to activate four Switch Panels on the wall. You can use the Mushroom Trampolines you jump up and hit the Switch Panels, but it’s easier to use the GamePad touch screen.
Fizzlits infest this remixed level, and they can make hitting all of the Switch Panels a hassle. Remember to avoid them when they’re electrified.
Along with adding more of the annoying Fizzlits to this climb, this level remix takes away the convenient Jump Panels. Fortunately, there’s a Lucky Bell in a ? Block—you just need to get past the Hammer Bro guarding it.
Green Star #2
The Green Star Ring itself is protected by two more Fizzlits, while the Green Coins take you on a tough path past two more of them. It’s safer to eliminate the enemies first before triggering the Green Star Ring.
More blasted Fizzlits! They’re all over this Switch Panel room, and they’ve got two Hammer Bros. for help. The bridge moving across the central chasm is split in two pieces that move in opposite directions, which can make hitting those Switch Panels tougher.
Green Star #3
The last Green Star is found just before the Goal Pole. To the right of where the Clear Pipe Cannon shoots you is a set of wooden crates. Break them open to find a baseball inside, then toss the ball at the Green Star. It’s the only way you can retrieve it without bringing a Boomerang Flower from a different level.
The lead up to the Goal Pole can be tough, as the Fizzlits leave you little room to work with. Work cautiously across the Switch Panels, attacking enemies when safe, until you’re in position to reach the Goal Pole.
