Vanilla Dome 4 is the fourth level of the Vanilla Dome in Super Mario World. The level uses the athletic theme. This level has many Mushroom Platforms and tall pillar-like daikon, and it features green bouncing boughs that serve as trampolines throughout the level.
Layout[edit]
Mario (or Luigi) starts out on the top of a stack of four Mushroom Platforms. Throughout the level, Bullet Bills fire from the sides of the screen. The first Dragon Coin is found between two Mushroom Platforms. Here, Mario must utilize the bouncing boughs to bounce over the daikon. Mario must run across another Mushroom Platform, avoiding the red Koopa Troopa, to find a space between two tall daikon. At the bottom of the space, there is a Super Mushroom and a red Koopa Paratroopa. After Mario crosses over the two daikon, he finds shorter daikon that he must jump across. Mario then finds more Mushroom Platforms that he must traverse across. Next, Mario finds a row of daikon and bouncing boughs, which he must traverse across, avoiding the green Koopa Paratroopa and Bullet Bills. The Dragon Coin is found between two bouncing boughs there. At the end of this row of platforms, Mario must use the bouncing bough to jump over the daikon. Then, Mario finds a long Mushroom Platform with a red Koopa Troopa and two Prize Blocks, one of which holds a Super Mushroom or Cape Feather. Mario has to jump on the bouncing bough and bounce over the daikon again. Afterwards, Mario finds three shorter Mushroom Platforms that he must jump across, as well as a large daikon that he must bounce over using the two bouncing boughs. There are two red Koopa Paratroopas flying back and forth. After Mario jumps over the daikon, he finds a long Mushroom Platform, a red Koopa Paratroopa, and the Midway Gate at the top of the screen.
Once Mario traverses the Mushroom Platform, he finds a row of daikon, bouncing boughs, and pipes that he must jump across, avoiding the Jumping Piranha Plants. At this point, Bullet Bills start firing from the bottom and top of the screen in addition to the left and right sides, making the situation more dangerous for Mario. He must jump up the Mushroom Platforms and over the daikon, avoiding another salvo of Bullet Bills. Here, Mario finds a Prize Block containing a Super Mushroom, as well as another Mushroom Platform at the top of the screen. There is a large pit here, and Mario must jump from the Mushroom Platform to make it over the daikon. Mario then finds some Mushroom Platforms and a row of Prize Blocks with a lone Rotating Block that contains a 1-Up Mushroom. After traversing the Prize Blocks, Mario finds several short Mushroom Platforms and a pipe. After traversing across those, Mario finds some short daikon that he must jump across using some of the bouncing boughs. The Dragon Coin is located between the first two daikon, and another Dragon Coin is located above a red Koopa Paratroopa. After traversing those daikon, Mario finally finds the Giant Gate.
