World 2-B is the second secret level of World 2 in New Super Mario Bros. 2. This level is filled with Para-bombs from the sky and from Bob-omb Cannons. There are also small hills on the desert floor which, when destroyed with a Bob-omb, will release items such as coins. Pokeys are also common here.
To unlock this level, the player needs to locate the secret goal in World 2-
Ghost House.
Mario begins on the desert next to a pool of quicksand, where a Para-bomb parachutes down to several ? Blocks containing a Fire Flower. A Pokey can then be found on a platform in-between quicksand pools with orange platforms above it, where another Bob-omb falls. More Bob-ombs and Pokeys can be found, along with another ? Block containing a Fire Flower. Bob-omb Cannons then begin to appear on a structure. This is followed by the Checkpoint Flag and ? Blocks containing a coin and a Fire Flower. There is a ? Switch in the middle Brick Block above the next Bob-omb Cannon which makes two Roulette Coin Blocks appear for a limited time. More Bob-omb Cannons follow, along with a Pokey. A Red Ring can be found on several orange platforms that follow, which causes eight Red Coins to parachute down along with Para-bombs. Three more Bob-omb Cannons come after that, followed by the Goal Pole.
Completing this level unlocks World 2-Castle, skipping World 2-4 and World 2-5.

Location
|
|
When Mario comes across the first Bob-omb Cannons, the player will be able to see the Star Coin enclosed in several blocks. The player needs to blow up the surrounding blocks using Bob-ombs to make a path to the Star Coin.
|
|
Just after the checkpoint, there is a pool of quicksand with coins in it. The player needs to let Mario sink into the quicksand to enter a secret area with a small hill. Bob-ombs will be shot out by a Bob-omb Cannon. The player needs to use the Bob-omb Cannons to blow up the volcano's red crust in the area to reveal the Star Coin and a fountain of coins.

|
This is located above the first Pokey after the checkpoint. The player has to jump off Bob-ombs that are shot out by Bob-omb Cannons when they are at their highest possible point to reach the coin. The best way to do this is to let Mario stand on either Bob-omb Cannon (making sure that he does not activate it beforehand), observe the pattern of shooting and leap to a Bob-omb at the right time to reach the Star Coin.
