Mario begins the level next to a Koopa Clown Car. Mario must ride the Koopa Clown Car to follow several Arrow Signs that can be found throughout the level. Spike Traps can be found on the walls, and a few lava pits must be crossed. At the end of the area, two ? Blocks can be near the top. One of them contains a Super Mushroom, while the other contains a 1-Up Mushroom. If Mario goes through a gap in the wall on the right, he will enter an area with a Big Bowser Jr. riding in a Koopa Clown Car. The Axe can be found past Bowser Jr.
