This level is similar to World 2-1, but the Binoculars are replaced with a Statue Leaf. There are several Spinies and Prongos in the level. There a three is Starmen in the level, so Mario can earn 1-Ups easily.

Star Medals

 * Star Medal 1: Located in the place where a Toad would put the first Star Medal in 2-1, but is on top of a Brick Block.
 * Star Medal 2: Located in the place where there is a moving Rubber Platform, to the left, Mario can bounce on it to get the Star Medal.
 * Star Medal 3: Located near the end of the level. When the player sees a piece of land that sticks out, Mario should jump on to it, he should jump on the Wooden Blocks, and would reach the Star Medal.
