Forest Secret Area

Forest Secret Area is a secret side-scrolling level in Super Mario World, accessed through the secondary exit of Forest of Illusion 4. Completion of the level gains access to Forest Fortress.

Overview
The level is a large pit that can be crossed over by two flying platforms of three Rotating Blocks; jumping on either platform triggers the level to scroll, and both platforms ascend and descend alternately. Koopa Paratroopas roam the sky and congregate in flocks, guarding various intermittent power-ups and Dragon Coins. About halfway through the ride, the player comes to a small island of blue ! Blocks where an extra life can be earned inside a Rotating Block. Shortly after, just beyond the Giant Gate rests three 1-Up Mushrooms that can only be reached by flying over the Post with a Cape Feather or Blue Yoshi.
