Tree Zone

The Tree Zone is one of the many areas Mario must adventure through in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. It consists of five stages, although only four are necessary to complete the world. Additionally, there is one hidden stage accessed from stage two. The Tree Zone consists of a giant tree in the southwest corner of Mario Land. Stage one takes place in the ground surrounding the tree and features enemies such as frogs, moles, and hedgehogs, all as big as Mario. Stage two takes place in the sap-filled hollow inside the tree. It features almost no enemies, with the exception of cow-like fish and Buzzy Beetle-like turtle bombs. Stage three is the left choice at the tree's fork. It takes place atop the tree's many branches and features Leaf-Cutter Ants, beetles, flies, and others, all the same size as Mario. Stage four is the right choice at the fork of the tree. It takes place inside a giant beehive and holds bees and larvae (such as the Grubbies and Bee Larvae) as the primary enemies. It is arguably harder than the other stages, as most of the enemies are semi-invincible, such as the Skeleton Bee. Stage five takes place in the tree's canopy and features Owls and the like. The boss of stage five is a crow-like giant bird named Radonkel.

Trivia

 * One of the only secrets in the game, the completion of the single hidden stage in Tree Zone unlocks a different background in the Tree Zone's map. Some of the leaves will blossom into flowers and will start to bloom and unbloom.


 * The first area has an unused room underneath it, which would have been accessed via pipes.
