Run for It, or Superstar Road-2, is the second course of Superstar Road in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked when the player collects every Star Coin in Layer-Cake Desert.
Layout[edit]
The course is based on the desert levels in Layer-Cake Desert. Throughout the level, players need to hit P Switches to turn coins into Brick Blocks, which act as the main platforms of the level. The level begins on a platform with a ? Block containing a power-up and a P Switch. A long line of Brick Blocks is crossed, with Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes acting as obstacles. Another P Switch is found, followed by more Brick Block structures and Piranha Plants. Some Brick Block platforms are located above a pit, followed by a section of Brick Blocks in between two Warp Pipes. A P Switch is found at the bottom, leading to another row of Brick Blocks with Koopa Troopas on it. More platforms are found, with Paratroopas in between. A P Switch can be found above a Koopa Troopa, followed by a section of moving Brick Block platforms. A P Switch is found on the ceiling of a section of ground, followed by more platforms and the Goal Pole.
Star Coins[edit]

The first Star Coin is found inside a box of Brick Blocks. The player can Ground Pound as Super Mario to safely collect it. |

The player needs to jump off a Paratroopa above a pit or use a flight powerup such as a Super Acorn to safely get the second Star Coin. |
|
The final Star Coin is located at the end of the stage, right before the Goal Pole. The player needs to time their jump so that they land on a platform of Brick Blocks right when the P Switch's timer runs out. |

Notes[edit]
- The level's concept of dashing to the exit by relying on block-producing switches is similar to Hit That Switch!! in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
