The Star Course,[1] also known as the star stage,[2] is the second level of the Space Zone in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins. Tatanga is fought at the end of this level.
Layout[edit]
The first half of the level consists of angry stars which act as spikes, with coins that guide Mario through. Some stars also move horizontally or vertically. After a while, there is a ? Block with a Mushroom atop it. After navigating more angry stars, Mario reaches another ? Block with a Fire Flower inside. After this, angry stars start appearing in patterns, with another ? Block which contains another Fire Flower. There are also a few Tosenbo in this level which start to appear. The next angry stars form the shape of an eye, with a large group of coins in the center. Once Mario makes it to the end of a narrow star passage, there are more angry stars spread out, with two ? Blocks nearby. There are then three rows of ? Blocks, with the Mid-Point Bell just after.
The last angry stars in this level are in tight formations, with a block along the way with another Mushroom on top. The last Tosenbo is also in this star maze. At the end is a ? Block containing a Fire Flower, followed by the pipe which takes Mario to the battle with Tatanga.
