Layout
Like Spinning-Star Sky, the ground is covered with snow. The background contains many mountains, along with a dark-blue nighttime sky, various stars, and falling snowflakes. The level begins near Waddlewings and Bill Blasters. A ? Block is found, along with a Koopa Troopa. Using a Super Acorn, the player can fly to a ledge with coins and a ? Block with a 1-Up Mushroom. A few hills are found with Waddlewings on them. A few scales are found above a pit. A group of four Bill Blasters is found before the Checkpoint Flag. Some Brick Blocks are found, along with a ? Block and some Waddlewing. There is also a Hidden Block containing a 1-Up Mushroom. A scale is found, which can be lowered to reach the next platform. A Koopa Troopa is found on a platform made of Brick Blocks and a ? Block, and another scale is found with two Bill Blasters. As the area continues, two more scales are found with a Red Ring in the middle. A slope with three Waddlewings on it is found, followed by a group of scales. Banzai Bills are fired from a Banzai Bill Cannon found just before the Goal Pole.
