World Mushroom-4: Trouble in Shadow-Play Alley

You’ve got 100 clock ticks to work with at the start of this level. Make them count because there are no + Clocks to find as there were in Night Falls on Really Rolling Hills!

Green Star #1

The first Green Star can be seen above the door you just entered, but there’s no easy way to reach it. Brave the cannon fire and pick up the near by Boomerang Flower.

With that Power-Up, you are able to reach the star with ease.

Green Star #2

Not far from the first Green Star is the second, hovering over a small platform next to a massive Goomba Tower. As you grab the star, start whittling away at those Goombas with bombs and boomerangs: You can’t leave this level until all the Goombas are gone!

Green Star #3

The last Green Star is on the other side of the Goomba Tower, and in the interest of time, you should take the passage under the Goomba Tower as soon as you collect the second star, then climb up to the third Green Star as quick as you can. Ideally, the Goomba Tower is now small enough that you can ground pound the rest. This causes a Warp Box to appear over the ledge the Goombas patrolled.

To have the best shot at topping the Goal Pole here, first stand on the blocks next to the pole and jump up to reveal an invisible ? Block.

Next, open the left door on the ground level of the small house. This takes you to the roof, where you can easily jump onto the newly revealed ? Block, and from there to the Goal Pole.
