Hippo (level)

The Hippo Zone is a small level in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. It isn't fully a zone, but is an important level nonetheless. It is found atop a hill in the main map. Mario must complete the Hippo Zone to reach the Space Zone.

The Hippo Zone consists of a hippo that blows bubbles which Mario can hop into and fly with. The bubbles allow Mario to float as high as he wants, and will only pop if touched by an enemy. Therefore, Mario can fly through the whole level and even reach the Bonus.
