==Layout==
The player starts at a stretch of flat land, leading to what is presumably the roots of a tree. On these roots there are several gaps in the roots which contain several [[Bopping Toady|Bopping Toadies]] and [[Ragumo]], that also appear on top of the roots. Later in the level several [[Kyotonbo]] and [[Spikey (Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins)|Spikey]]s appear to block the player. On the roots there is several [[Hidden Block]]s which lead to a [[1 UP Heart|1-Up Heart]], and inside the roots lays a [[? Block]] which contains a either a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]]. After the ? Block is the level's [[Bell (Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins)|Mid-Point Bell]]. After the bell the roots form a tree. Inside the tree is a Ragumo, several [[coin]]s and twelve ? Blocks eleven of which have coins with the one other containing either a Mushroom or a Fire Flower. On the top of the tree (which must be climbed in order to complete the level) there is a Kyotonbo. After the tree there is several other sets of enemies, and three [[block]]s which lead to the end of the level.
