Level synopsis
The level begins in a grassy area with Wigglers, Goombas and a single red Para-Goomba. Mario will find a row of ? Blocks. One of them contains a Beanstalk that leads to a Warp Pipe.

Entering the pipe, Mario is taken to an area surrounded by Wood Blocks and inhabited by a Goomba. Hitting some ? Blocks, he will find two Beanstalks. Climbing them, Mario reaches a place with a plenty of ropes, as well as Hoopsters climbing them. At the top of this area, Mario can enter a Warp Pipe and easily collect the first Advance Coin.

The pipe leads Mario to an area filled with ropes and Hoopsters. The second Advance Coin and Coins are placed underneath the end of many ropes. Another Warp Pipe can be accessed easily at the left corner.

Entering it, Mario is taken to a sky area. He must step on stationary platforms (some of them having their Super Mario World design) guarded by red Koopa Troopas and on a Stretch Block to reach a place with even more ropes and Hoopsters. An Advance Coin can be collected, if Mario travels through the ceiling. Ahead, there are more Stretch Blocks, as well as the Luigi e-Coin in the upper-left corner of the area.

At the end, the pipe takes Mario to the last area, where he will find more Wigglers as well as a single Super Mario World-styled Goomba and several Para-Goombas dropping from the sky with parachutes, just as Mario reaches the goal.
