'''Third Course''' is the third level of the [[Gold Rush Pack]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', as well as the third DLC level in the game.

==Layout==
The level begins with a [[? Block]] containing a [[Gold Flower]] and a long row of [[Thwomp]]s before the first [[Warp Door]]. Mario will then encounter a pair of Thwomps, followed by a [[Big Thwomp]] near a [[Red Ring]]. This is followed by two Thwomps guarding a ? Block containing a [[Mega Mushroom]], which is where the level's route diverges.

The normal route sees Mario continue up the vertical area, collecting many [[Hidden Coin]]s before heading to the next Warp Door. Afterwards, Mario will encounter a Red Ring with a [[Coin Coffer]], followed by a [[P Switch]] and a path composed entirely of [[Blue Coin]]s leading directly to the [[Goal Pole]].

If Mario grabs the Mega Mushroom instead, he will be able to smash through the [[Brick Block]] enclosure immediately to the right, leading to an area with Big Thwomps. After a short area with a [[Checkpoint Flag]], Mario will encounter a few more Thwomps before reaching a [[POW Block]] which he must [[Ground Pound]] to continue on. After one more POW Block, Mario must continue through another Warp Door to reach some columns along with a [[Big Dry Bones]] just before the Goal Pole.

==Star Coins==
*'''Star Coin 1''': When close to the two Thwomps after the Big Thwomp, the player must hit the ? Block to get the Mega Mushroom, head to the right, ground pound the [[Hard Block]]s, and enter the [[Pipe Cannon]] when Mario is back to normal size.
*'''Star Coin 2''': When in the room with the POW Blocks, the player go to the left side and keep on going down to find the Star Coin.
*'''Star Coin 3''': At the bottom of the room with the POW Blocks, when seeing the Thwomps after the second Coin, the player must defeat them with the Gold Flower and jump where the middle Thwomp was, which will reveal some [[Hidden Block]]s. Jumping on top of those and destroying the Brick Blocks above them will make the Star Coin appear.
