World 3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels): Difference between revisions

This is the first level in the game that [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] appear. The [[player]] starts off next to the castle. When the player walks ahead, they will encounter two Hammer Bros., taking residence on two long block platforms. On the bottom platform, the fifth block to the right has a [[Star]]. The next pipe will take the player to a backwards [[Warp Zone]]; to World 1-1. After jumping over a small hole, the player passed two [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Above the Koopa Troopas, there is a [[Question Block|? Block]] with a Mushroom/Fire Flower. Then the player jumped over a Piranha Plant and jumped up and over another platform. If the player chose to jump under the platform, they could climb a [[Beanstalk|Vine]] to get to a [[Coin Heaven]]. If the player chooses not to get to the coin heaven, the player will have to avoid three [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s to get to three ? Blocks, the farthest one. The green [[Trampoline]] can take the player above the [[Flagpole]], and will lead to the same backwards [[Warp Zone]]; to World 1-1.

World 3-2 is an underwater level. The player starts floating down to the green blocks below, near a [[Blooper]]. The player must avoid the oncoming Bloopers and [[Cheep-Cheep]]s while navigating tight holes obscured by corral and more green Blocks. There are also 37 coins to collect, and three [[Koopa Troopa]]s scattered throughout the level. These underwater Koopas cannot be defeated, unless the player has obtained a Fire Flower or Star. At the end of the level, a Warp Pipe will lead the player to the overworld, where the flag can be found.

This level is a maze, and taking the wrong path will cause the level to repeat. If the player stays on the bottom until the area past the set of two pipes, some hidden blocks will be revealed, and they can take the top path through the rest of the level.
